Wild Nights With My Brother’s Ex-Best Friend novel Chapter 190

NICOLE

“Is this how you killed Sebastian?” I hear myself ask. “You put on your gloves and stabbed him with that knife? How did you even make it out of that place on time?”

A thin smile curves his lips. “No. I didn’t killhim. I had someone else do it for me. I wouldn’t have bothered getting my hands dirty on him.”

“How didn’t the killer get caught?”

“Fuck if I know. He got the job done and that’s all that matters.”

“Why?” I hear myself asking as my gaze settles on the barrel of the gun. Though I’m talking normally and asking all these questions, I can feel my heart beating in my throat and I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that this will be the end for me. He’ll shoot me, then walk away.

I won’t have a chance to do anything else. Ever again.

“Sebastian was in the way,” he simply explains. “His involvement with my father would have made him a witness and I can’t leave any traces behind. I’ll clean everything up, and then, things will go back to normal. To how they were.”

I find myself straining against the cuffs. Is it funny that I don’t even feel pain anymore? I’m rubbing them raw right now, and I’m pretty sure they’re bleeding, but I can’t stop fighting. I still have that fighting spirit inside of me. It’s alive. It woutd’ve been easier for me to accept my fate and just focus my last few minutes on thinking about what my life had been, but my brain isn’t wired that way, I think. I can’t do it.

“You know who the next person I’ll be targeting is?” he questions before tilting his head to the side. “Your precious little ogre of a husband.”

My body has a reaction I’ve never experienced before. I lurch forward, but the cuffs hold me back and cut into my skin. Tears stream down my face. “Don’t get anywhere near him! Don’t even touch him!”

Leonardo chuckles. “It’s cute how you think you can do anything to stop me. Tell me, do you really think I’ll listen to your command?”

“You have no reason to kill him!”

“I have every reason to do it,” he retorts. “Your husband has interfered in matters that don’t concern him. He should’ve stayed in his lane. Do you know what his problem was? His problem was that he was always too ambitious. He should never have gone for a fish as big as Carmen Lowett. He didn’t know what he was getting into, or signing up for. Once you step into our little group, you’ve signed your soul off.”
