The silence lasted for a few seconds J didn't look shocked. She didn't look sad. She looked satisfied.
"I know you do," J said simply.
My heart didn't just break,it shattered. "You... you knew? This whole time?"
J shrugged, a cold glint in her eyes. "I guess you could say I'm selfish. I like the way you blush. I like the attention you give me. It makes me feel good but I don't like you like that. I never will."
"Then why?" I sobbed. "Why let it go on?"
"Because," J stepped closer, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I don't want you with anyone else. I want you to want me while I do whatever I want."
I looked at her really looked at her and realized the girl I loved was a monster. "You should have died," I whispered. "Not my family. YOU."
After H let J walk away, thinking he had finally broken me, I played my last card.
"I'll be yours," I lied. "Just untie me."
H, blinded by his own obsession folded instantly. The second the ropes hit the floor, the "kind girl" from high school died. I leveled him with a punch that sent him reeling. His men swarmed me, but I didn't feel the pain. I felt the rage.
