A sarcastic smile appeared on my lips, cutting deep through my heart. His words still echoed in my head.
The man I had loved and trusted for years had not only betrayed me but had actively participated in my brother’s destruction.
I was finding it difficult to stand by after listening to everything. I wanted to go insde and confront him directly but sddenly my phone rang.
It was a jailor. His voice was urgent." Mrs Williams... your brother... he fainted."
I immediately stumbled out of the house, the rain-slicked streets a blur of lights and colors. I ran to the police station. My heart clenched seeing my brother whole body soaked in blood.
"L-Liam!" My voice trembled, "Who did this to you?"
"I-I'm fine, Laura." He barely managed to speak. But, I could see, he was not. Kinleys must have bribed the officials to bully my brother.
"Don't worry, brother." My voce choked, "I'll soon take you out from it, and I promise those who are responsible for this, will suffer a worst fate!"
I had only a brother in my family, who was now a hollowed-out ruin.
I came out of the police station and stood in the rain, the cold drops washing away the last traces of my past life.
