"She's dead." He said, shaking his head again. Then he chuckled. "Because I was avenging you."
I laughed loud. "Avenging me?"
He nodded and that cold man everyone was talking about was now there. "Was I wrong to?"
I stared at him for a minute then he shook his head and walked away. I couldn't help but wonder if he really wanted an answer to that question. I watched as he walked back into the club. Word would get around soon enough on whether or not be really "avenged" me. Until then, I would continue laying low as I always did.
I walked slowly to the car I had arrived in. The breeze was cold but the air was kind of refreshing. I hadn't been out much since the incident.
I stayed inside, crying and traumatized by my life being so close to the line. All I could think about was Rei because honestly I had no one but her and Cyn. I cried because it was all a plot by my sister and apparently the man I loved. That's what I was later told by Fabio.
Of course I thought he was lying. I thought I knew Wyn well.
So I waited and waited for him to pop up just to prove him wrong. He never showed. It made me wish Junior hadn't hurried in and made Terri and Melonie beg for their lives.
I fell into a deep depression after that.
Who could you trust? How can you trust when people constantly make you feel like your judgment is off? Yet, they tell you not to judge a book by its cover. Yeah, whatever.
I sat in the car after retrieving the key from my purse. This experience slightly changed me. Of course with the help of Fabio, I became someone different. Someone I could only recognize from time to time. He taught me lessons my real father had forgotten. I've spent the pass two months at his house eating his food, exploring his house, and using his money. All under his consent.
Rei was happy and I was trying. Rei was my happiness and seeing her again made me realize that.
Fabio told me he saw potential in me that he hadn't seen in others before and that if I was willing, he could mold me into someone stronger. I was scared when I heard those words come out his mouth. But then he made love to me. Something so passionate and beautiful that I couldn't help but fall for him. It was something I wanted only from Wyn at a point in time. But as Fabio and I got closer, Cyn and I drifted. I didn't know why that was but it was.
He treated me like a queen publicly and in private. Rei was our princess. When she was out having play dates or with the nanny, it was him and I shooting guns or working out. It seemed like all work and no play until later on during and after showers.
He made me feel like a woman. Maybe that's why I looked at Wyn the way I did now. I could still feel my love for him but it was deep down in the scar he left, in which Fàbio was now covering.
Suddenly, my phone rang breaking me from my thoughts.
"Where are you? Rei basically destroyed her TV." I heard in a deep tone I knew too well.
"Again?" I asked after a laugh. "I think those kids you got her hanging around are a bad influence on her."
I heard him laugh. "Just hurry up and get home."
"Okay." I said then the phone went dead. I knew he was just a distraction from the truth. I love Wyn and always will, but it's hard to believe if it's the same.
I started the car and turned up the radio making my way to our new Miami home which wasn't too far. He had business here but he wanted Rei and I to be with here so here we were.
It was nice whenever he was home.

I got out the car and something automatically sent chills throughout my body. Of course, I figured it was the wind and continued inside. When I got inside, the house was dark.
Now I was confused.
I tried to flick the light on but it wasn't working. That's when I used my phone to turn on the flashlight. Ultimately, I wanted to leave but I had literally just got off the phone with Fabio.
"Where are you? Rei basically destroyed the TV." I heard.
What? I questioned myself.
"Just hurry up and get home."
I knew it was a trap. I was about to open the door and leave but suddenly someone grabbed me, forcing me to drop the phone.
Of course I tried to fight but it was dark and I didn't know where to swing.
