Eden opens her mouth to speak and then clamps it shut. She wants to argue but she can’t.
Because as much as the both of us hate to admit it…
“Cain’s right.”
My feelings for Eden are real…but it doesn’t change what I did. Or the truth I’ve been concealing from her so I could keep her a little longer…like the selfish bastard I am.
I might not have murdered all those people like Cain did, but I really am no different.
There are different shades of evil, but in the end, it doesn’t matter whose shade is darker—we’re both still villains.
Eden’s eyes grow bigger. “What do you mean he’s right? I don’t—”
“You will.” I grip the back of his head. “But first, I need something from Cain.”
“I’m not doing shit until you—”
I immerse his dick in the tank and lower my lips to his ear. “Did you kill her?”
“Who?”
“Don’t play fucking stupid. Kristy. Did you kill Kristy?”
“No, you idiot. Her hus—” He flinches when I press a button on the remote, lowering the divider. “Damien, don’t do this.”
Oh, I’m go "Two hungry piranhas can never coexist in one tank, Cain," I grind out, repeating his own words back to him. “Therefore, I suggest you speak now and admit what I already know, or so help me God I will make you suffer far worse than you made that poor woman suffer.” Hell, I plan on doing it anyway. A guttural scream erupts from Cain as the piranha munches his way through the fish closest to him first. He’s got about two seconds left before the piranha comes over to this side of the tank and he loses his favorite appendage. “I did it,” he screams. “I killed Kristy. Fuck. I’ll tell you everything, Damien,” he screams. “I’ll tell her the truth, I swear. Just take my dick out—” He sucks in air, wheezing as I yank him back. “Thank you.” “Don’t thank me, motherfucker. This is far from over.” “You killed her?” Eden whispers. “How could you—” “I’m sorry,” Cain croaks, hanging his head in defeat. “I’m so fucking sorry, Eden.” He knows as well as I do this is it. The final showdown. And for once, it’s no longer about our feud or revenge. It’s not about wi We both lose her. Eden’s eyes ping pong between us. “Why is he apologizing to me?” The muscle in my chest squeezes, reminding me I have a heart deep down…one that’s breaking for her. I’ve spent my whole life not giving a fuck about other people, or my actions. But if there’s one major event I could ever take back. One wrong I could undo…it would be saving Kristy. But I can’t. The only thing I can do is tell Eden what she never could. What she never got the chance to…because of me. “Because he killed your mother.” “I know,” she says, not understanding. “Cain confessed before.” “He confessed to killing Karen before.” I look her in the eyes because it’s the least you can do when you’re about to rip someone’s entire world out from underneath them. “Karen wasn’t your biological mother. Kristy was.”
