Burn it all, because this… is… Who. You. Are.
Shaking my head, I stomp toward the back exit, ready to leave. But as I turn the corner, I bump right into Dom.
Perfect.
He grasps my shoulders, steadying me with his brows zipped together and anger in his eyes. “What the hell are you doing here?? You’re not even working tonight…”
“Yea, no shit,” I mutter. “I just came to—”
“Jesus, Ren! You look like shit,” he rambles over me. “I can’t believe you’d come here after what happened to your house last night! Do you have any idea what kind of attention that draws??”
“What?” I grunt.
“Just… get outta here, okay??” He stalks past me, bumping my shoulder. “Stay away until your drama cools off.”
Cools off…?
Mydrama…?
Is he fucking firing me??
My head is woozy, a giggle slipping from my lips.
Nothing is cooling off.
My eyes flick right…
Burn.
I bite my lip, fingers twitching with need.
Without a second thought, I rush to the nearest supply closet and grab a bunch of chemicals. Anything that saysflammableon the bottle.
And I head straight for that private fucking room.
I press my ear to the door, listening as Callum loudly fucks the kid inside. I can hear them, and it reminds me so vividly of him in between my legs, jamming his cock into my virgin ass, I’m growing increasingly dizzy.
I need to burn it all, all the memories.
Who fucking cares where I end up. This has to be done.
Thepowerismine.
Minutes flick by like seconds while I dump chemicals everywhere, then light a match.
“You created a monster, Callum,” I whisper. “In a way, you birthed me as much as my parents did. So it seems only fitting that you kiss the flames with them.”
The fire in The Edge is only supposed to trap Callum inside that room. But it turns much bigger than I expected, just like last night. Before I can even process what I’ve done, I’m in a circle of flames, and this time I’m not sure if I’ll get out.
I’m not sure if I evencare.
Black smoke surrounds me, filling my lungs, and I cough.
I’m burning myself at the stake!
Grinning, I yell out my cleverburning at the stakeline, “I’ve had pee that burns worse than this!” Choking and coughing, I’mlaughing, struggling to breathe.
This might be it… I’m probably gonna die.
