Chapter 31

Bryan's Pov

What just happened in there? I thought as I came out of the house.

I had almost lost myself by getting close to Jenna. It wasn’t like I wanted to but I couldn’t resist the urge the moment our skins came in contact.

I suddenly developed a strange feeling towards her and began to thirst for affection. The feeling was so strong, I was literally fighting a war with it.

The mere thought of what happened all over again made waves of ecstasy flow through me and I felt a bulge in my trousers, same as when I was in the room.

Good thing she didn’t see it, what would she have thought of me? A pervert? Or worse, someone who lacked discipline and couldn’t control his urges, looking for the nearest honeypot to bury his member.

“I need a drink,” I whispered to no one in particular, getting into the black Lamborghini parked in the garage filled with other exotic cars, all of which belonged to Alissia’s father, before his death.

He was a lover of cars and spent a fortune on acquiring latest vehicles the moment they hit the market. Unfortunately, he had to die and leave all his wealth and cars in the care of his daughter— whom I had killed.

The memory of how it happened replayed before me as my fingers shivered on the steering. I could hear her scream all over, see her dead body and all that blood, plastered on the floor.

The guilt rose from the deepest part of my heart where it was locked in all along to toment me. Sweat dripped out of my skin like it was being pumped out.

I turned my head to the side, towards the door and sighted a bottle of water. I stretched my hands to pick it— to drink from it. But all I saw was blood the moment I opened it

In haste I poured it on the floor, through the window, throwing its container far away. I continued to stare at it as the water spread and all I saw was blood— Alissia’s blood, the same way it spread on the floor when I killed her.

The loud buzzing of my phone brought me back to reality and the dead body, the blood and every other strange thing I saw— or thought I saw disappeared.

I looked at who the caller was and saw the name “Stephen,” displayed on the screen.

“Eh… it’s the man himself,” he hailed me from the other line immediately I picked. “How are you doing brother? Enjoying the rich girl’s money already I assume? Does Jenna remember anything now?”

I could hear the sound of musics, blaring from the speakers at where he was.

“Shut up Stev, pay some respect to the dead and keep those mouth of yourself to yourself. Someone might here you,” I scolded him on low tones. “And I don’t think she remembers anything yet.

“Relax, lover boy, just kidding,” he giggled. “Where are you though?” He asked.

“Was just about pulling over at your bar. There’s alot of things we need to discuss, I see her Steve…” I replied, my voice trailing off.

“You see who Bryan? Some other girl?” He demanded with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

“It’s no time for jokes Stev, I’m getting a really bad feeling that the worst is about to come.”

“I’ll be waiting for you, come over. We’ll talk better when you get here.

After a short drive, I got to the bar and sat on one of the bar stools as Stephen poured me a shot. There was not much people at the bar so we discussed freely although on low tones. I rested my head on the bar while he stood, but it didn’t affect our conversations.

“What were you talking about on the phone he asked after I gulped down the shot in one go and requested for another.

“My head is a mess,” I replied him before gulping down the next shot. “Jenna almost got caught today by Alissia’s lawyer when he came around to drop the legal documents of Alissia’s properties.”

His eyes widened in disbelief and he bent down.

“But how? Wasn’t she supposed to be on her mask at all times?”

“Yes she was but I was at fault this time. The mask was in my pockets after I removed it. Remember when I called you earlier and said she didn’t remember anything?”

“Yes I remembered,” he replied quickly.

“Exactly. I removed the mask and put it in my pocket. Only for me to leave the room and she decided to follow. I didn’t heisitate to fire the maid who saw her real face , I wouldn’t have anything standing as a hinderance to my plans.”

“What about the lawyer? How did you make him go away?” He asked with a disturbed look in him.

“He suddenly got a strange call at the last moment, just when I thought all hope was lost. I'm sure he is already suspicious of me and Jenna.

Why?” Steven asked?

“He saw Jenna’s face well enough. I wonder what he will do next,” I whispered, my palms lying bare on the table.

“What if he talked? He’s loyal to her family, he might say something.” Stephen noted.

“If that is the case, I know exactly what to do,” I replied with a grin.

“And what will you do?” He asked confused.

“You’ll find out soon enough,” I declared, taking another shot as my body began to relax and the music began to sip in.
