The following day, I awoke, and Reign was gone. I returned to Zeus's room to find no one there was well. He gave Tanya a flight back home because her son got into trouble at football camp. He's in his senior year, and she doesn't want him to blow his scholarship. I honestly couldn't care less.
While he was gone, I tried to snoop around to see if I could find anything interesting, but everything was always locked. Zeus was a strong, powerful man who knew better than to keep important information around. All rich men have something to hide. I found that out with Dimitri. Days passed before Zeus returned home, but he returned this afternoon. It meant Reign couldn't be in my bed; it had to be him now.
"Have you seen Zeus?" I asked Dimitri.
"No, I haven't seen him in days," he clarified.
"Hmm, okay," I shrugged while giving him a peck on the cheek.
"Hey, everything okay?" he asked, caressing my cheek.
"I don't know," I confessed.
The tender look in his eyes made me heartache. A part of me cared for both him and Reign. How twisted could I be?
"I'll be back," I promised.
I held my warm coffee cup within my grasp and walked the long trek up the many flights of stairs to the top floor. I had to admit I was getting used to this castle. It was nice how massive and spaced out it was. So many people are under one roof, yet you still feel like you're the only one here.
The sound of glass crashing made me freeze. Two men began grunting, and blows landing into flesh echoed near me. I ran towards the commotion to see Deacon and Zeus fighting. My eyes widened in shock, and I ran to the scene.
\ "Fuck you!" Deacon cried as Zeus punched him in the face.
Deacon spat a chunk of blood from his mouth, "Ahhh!!"
Deacon tackled Zeus on a sturdy desk and started choking him. Zeus struggled beneath him, unable to break free from Deacon's grasp. I saw the life begin to fade from his eyes as panic overflowed me. My body reacted as I burst into the room.
"Stop!" I screamed.
They both looked over to me. I felt a hard hand snatched the nape of my neck.
"Agh!!" I cried out as the grip tightened, ripping my hair from my head.
"Stupid little bitch!" A familiar voice shouted in my ear.
I heaved forward, falling to the ground. I turned over to see Eve standing there in all her victory. A devious smirk came across her red-stained lips, her signature long-sleeve maxi dress with a slit up to the hip, and her signature Christian Louis Boutin heels.
"Fuck you!" I hollered with a kick to her right leg.
"Ow!" she cried.
I scrambled to my feet, seizing a vase and throwing it at her. Within seconds, she dodged the oncoming object, and the sound of ceramic glass breaking on the wall filled the air.
"Ahh!" I cried while tackling her to the ground.
I mounted her, slapping her as hard as I could before wrapping my hands around her throat, "You stupid bitch!"
Someone grabbed me by the waist, lifting me from Eve, "Let me go!"
I saw Deacon hold down Eve as she fought against him to stand, "Oh! You stupid, worthless whore! I'll kill you!"
"I'd like to see you try!" I enticed.
I broke free from whoever was holding me.
"Not so fast," Deacon warned, holding a pistol outwards to me.
I froze, holding my hands up in surrender.
"Pff," I heard a man chuckle behind me.
"You don't have the balls to shoot her," Dimitri spoke.
My eyes widened in shock to see him standing behind me, a gun in his hand aimed at Deacon.
"Oh really?! I just killed Zeus! I'll kill his little whore too!" Deacon's manically cackled.
"No! No! She's mine!" Eve screamed while yanking the gun from Deacon's grasp.
A loud ringing hurt my ears as I saw Deacon fall to the ground in a heap. I curled into a ball, holding both ears in pain. What seemed like forever passed; I looked over to see Deacon lifeless, blood pooling around his limp body. He was dead.
"Tell me it's not true!" I heard Tanya cry in sadness.
I looked over in shock to see Tanya standing there holding a gun to Eve.
"Look for yourself!" Eve laughed while gesturing to the desk where Zeus's body lay.
Tears of sadness streamed down her face.
"Why are you so upset?" Eve smirked.
"We loved each other! You stupid bitch!" Tanya cried.
"What the Hell is wrong with you people?!" I interjected, "You fuck your Uncle, and Tanya, who the Hell are you? You love Zeus?"
Tanya angrily wiped away her tears. "You want the truth? I met him long before you before you even met Dimitri."
