“I don’t understand,” I whisper over her sobs “Why would he tellyou were here with me?”

No one answers Instead, Ryat shoves all her stuff off the table, and it bounces off the concrete floor,her flinch Silence falls over the rooht now

He slowly turns around, leaning against it once again Crossing his arreen eyes on hers “One chance How did you know she was here tonight?”

She bows her head, her shoulders sagging in defeat “Matt called me and said that she was back in town He knew you tere at the house of Lords, and if I was going to have any chance with you, this was it”

“Meaning?” he growls

She lifts her head, her watery eyes pleading with hiet it “Meaning, I was going to have to get rid of her But I didn’t …”

He pushes off the table, stalking over to her

“No, Ryat …” she screa in the chair “Please, you have to understand…”

He silences her when he walks behind the chair and wraps the rope fro her struggle in the chair, her hands clenching and unclenching Her hips lift while she tries to fight the rope cutting off her air

He bends down, his lips near her ear while his green eyes are onpicks up when he whispers to her, “Look atyou see”

I hate that I’ht now That the s hell down on anyone ants to harm me I should feel for her, but I don’t She knew that I was in her way of getting what she wanted And she was going to do whatever it took to get him

A part of me can’t blame her I’d do the same

Her fight groeaker, her face drains of color, and her lips turn blue I watch her eyes roll into the back of her head, and her body sags while he holds the rope in place, taking her life The second one that I know of, for me
