Chapter 51: + - 51+
Asher looked surprised to see him standing so close, carefully undoing the cuffs around his wrists without getting blood on him.
"I don’t mind the blood," Caspian blurted out. He didn’t know why he felt the need to say that.
He really didn’t mind, he wasn’t queasy and he already knew what Asher did, witnessing the Mafia King kill people wasn’t really that startling.
Asher flicked his eyes up at him, taking off the cuffs and tossing the metal bonds over his shoulder, keys and all.
"Let’s get you back to the mansion."
Caspian obediently followed, it was strange for Asher to be this quiet. Even when he thought his secret was still perfectly safe, there wasn’t this insurmountable wall between them.
They left the massacre Asher had created behind, stepping out into the crisp, cool night air.
He got into the car when Asher opened up the passenger door for him, curiosity eating at him.
He wanted to know what Asher was thinking, he wanted to know what would follow after he got back to the mansion. Would anything change?
The air in the car was tense, blood staining the steering wheel as Asher drove, completely focused on the road.
Caspian sighed softly and sank into the passenger seat, maybe he should have just taken Jael’s offer and left.
