New Revelations Pt. 2

|Ace’s POV|

|Flashback, 1.5 Years Ago contd.|

“You what?” I growl, my words seething with nothing but rage as I glare at her with all the hatred in the world.

This cannot be possible. She cannot have been the one who killed my parents.

“It’s true.” She says lightly as if talking about what dress to wear to her next brunch, “your father begged me to save your mother’s life, to kill him and be done with it when he realised that he had been bested, but oh, the pure satisfaction of life draining out of your mother’s eyes when I strangled her. When I made sure to kill her slowly and painfully, knowing well enough that all the blame was going to go on Meera’s family and no one was ever going to doubt me.”

My entire body freezes before anger overtakes me and I don’t think for even a second before loading my gun and pulling the trigger.

But nothing happens.

The bullet doesn’t fly out of the barrel of my gun as I gape at it before pulling the trigger once again.

Nothing happens again.
