Chapter 166: Unexpected Turns
Rory
My heart instantly flew into my throat and I was so caught off guard that I stumbled and squealed, which madeq a lot more noise than I’d have liked. The guard’s eyes narrowed at me as he solely stepped closer to me and I swallowed emptily, already knowing that I was doomed at this point. This was exactly what I’ve been trying to avoid, what I’ve been constantly praying against, and that same thing was right in front of me right now and I was too frozen in fear and shock to say a thing as the guard stopped beside me.
His head was cocked sideways as he regarded me, his gun still pointed at me. I remained in the same spot, unable to breathe because of how nervous I felt right now. It felt like one wrong move or word would result in my head instantly getting blown off by this large looking gun.
"Please." I finally croaked out, my throat feeling too tight and scratchy. The guard remained silent, and he slowly crouched beside me, pressing the gun against my throat and my heart instantly accelerated even more.
Oh goddess!
"Why are you out here? I’m very certain the boss wouldn’t have freed you himself." He added quietly and I gulped, knowing the fear in my eyes right now was extremely obvious to him. That seemed to have conveyed my answer to him because he threw his head back and laughed slowly and then he shook his head.
"Oh wow. You really killed the boss? How did you do it?" He questioned next and a feeling of uneasiness engulfed me. I gulped again, eyes locked with us as I secretly tried to whip out my knife from my pocket. He easily noticed that and rolled his eyes before knocking my hand off and laughing.
"Oh, that’s how you did it? I can’t lie, I’m impressed." He paused and leaned closer and I completely stopped breathing. "I’m also disappointed, because I wished I could have watched."
My mouth fell open as I gawked at him in utter confusion.
Before I could get a word out in the next moment, footsteps of approaching guards began to echo closer and I gasped in fear at once, my eyes instantly darting towards this man who instantly rose to his full height and stepped forward to the first turn, automatically blocking the guards.
I was quick to drag myself off the ground and drag myself to press my back against the wall, heart pounding away while I kept hoping that the guard wouldn’t give me up. He was yet to shoot me, that had to mean something, right? And he also said he had been there to watch Alex get killed. What the hell does that mean?
