Riches | The inheritance games

Chapter 26

Blood // Water by grandson

Beg me for mercy, admit you were toxic. You poisoned me just for another dollar in your pocket.

It's over. 

All of this.

For what?

I was dangled upside down from a bridge one slip and I would've died, Avery was shot at, all of this pain and fear caused by this cruel old man I never even knew. At least Avery got an apology letter. What do I get?

"I'm sorry. It's not Jameson's fault he's like this. It's not Jameson's fault it ended like this" Grayson says, his voice raw with emotion. 

"I should go" I say. As I turn my arm is tugged lightly by Grayson "Paris.." he starts. "I just need to think" I say. He watches me go. 

This isn't about you Paris. 

The boys are suffering, Avery is probably heartbroken the game is over.

I breathe in the cold air. I sort of feel glad in a sense that it's finally over. It's over but why am I not happy. I have mixed feelings. This was never about me so why am I so affected? 

I don't know where I am but I know where I'm going. My feet keep moving towards the house despite not having a clue where it is. My phone pings. I look down at the bright screen. 

Alcoholic: I need you.

I start typing urgently.

Me: Where are you?

Alcoholic: Beach. 

Alcoholic: Quick.

I don't hesitate to start running. I make it to the house pretty quickly after i abandoned my heels. I know where I'm going now that I'm outside the house. I bolt towards the beach not caring about the seashells that half stab my feet to death. 

I reach a figure wearing the suit Jameson was wearing at the water, he is facing the ocean. I speed up until I reach him. "Jamie" I sigh struggling to catch my breath. I place a hand on his back. 

He turns and I stumble back at the face staring back at me. Fucking Danny. "You're not Jamie" I breathe. "I'm better" he smirks. My face twists into one disgusted one. "Jamie didn't send it"

"What do you want?" I roll my eyes. "I want you back" he grins, "I made a deal with a certain Virgo I would do something but I'm willing to let you go in exchange for one thing" 

"What are my choices then foe?" I grin. "I want you to fuck me." My face changes from an amused expression all the way back to disgusted. "Right here in the sand. And i want you to tell me you love me. And I want you back. For good." He offers. "Absolutely not. What's my other choice?" I ask with a joking smile. "I kill you" 

This makes me let out a chuckle feeling no threat, that is until he reaches into his tuxedo, he removes a pistol. My mouth is agape ever so slightly, I begin moving back slowly. 

"Danny.. don't do something you'll regret" I warn. "Last chance.. take that ridiculous dress off and let me fuck you until you can't walk or close your eyes and prepare for the sweet merciful death" he smiles as if he is at his birthday party, looking far too happy for the occasion. 

"Who's putting you up to this? Just tell me and I'll get them locked up before they can hurt you" I try. "I'm not being forced to do shit. She told me I just had to send a warning to Avery by hurting you but I chose to kill you. You're a side piece. You always have been. You think those boys care about you? They don't that was proved tonight when that Jameson kid left the second it was over. God I hated that kid" he says. One word sticks out.
