Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right

By the time I saw Hayston again, I was already hanging in midog, na net le This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Below us was a massive pool, and I know the second the rope was cy, die dag ww

I could see Hayden and Jace on the ground below, held by Bruno’s men, we

Bruno lounged by the pool, casually stroking something though I was too treated on hy fear of heights had me too focused on not looking down too much.

“So, snooker girl,” Bruno called up to me, fals voice dripping with mockery, “josh low spe guys, right? And they’ve both loved you. But they both betrayed you in the end today to sp you run a little test–to see who loves you more. How’s that coundr

A test? No. He wasn’t testing anything–he just wanted to mess with us.

“I don’t need your help! Let me down!” I yelled, defiant.

Bruno ignored me and turned back to Hayden and Jace I’m going to lower this girl now. But fane fac she’ll end up in the water. And you might’ve noticed what’s swimming in there… They haven’t een ins week. They’re hungry.”

The way he said it made my blood run cold. I froze, but I couldn’t help it–I glanced down.

And what I saw made my heart stop.

The pool was full of crocodiles, not just one or two. Bruno was even petting one like it was a freaking lap

dog.

No wonder the place smelled like blood and decay.

Even if they hadn’t been starved, if I fell in, I’d be eaten alive. Bruno’s sick game was using Hayden and Jace as distractions for these monsters.

“Sick bastard! If you’re so tough, fight me one–on–one!” Yara shouted, cursing him from where she was tied up.

Bruno might’ve been talking to me, but Yara was up there for a reason, too. He was using both of us against them.

“Sick bastard?” Bruno sneered. “Actually, you just gave me a better idea.”

He turned to Hayden, eyes gleaming with cruelty. “Up there we’ve got two women–one’s your ex, the other your new girlfriend. So which one do you love more? Want to prove it?”

“Bruno,” Hayden said, voice steady but low, “let them go. I’ll stay and feed your crocodiles.”

“Hah! So you love them both, huh? Bruno laughed. “Not enough for me. I want to know who you love

most”

“He doesn’t want Keira anymore! Obviously, he doesn’t love her,” Jace spoke up, his voice sharp. “This whole game is pointless

I knew he was trying to make Bruno stop this twisted game, but his words cut deep.

Love lan’t something you just say, Bruno unwered to when we out

He was clearly out to torment Hayden

And he wasn’t just messing with him he was messing with all of us.

If Yara and I were dropped into that pool, Hayden would rush to save her, and how stu Bruno knew that. And he’d set it up so neither of them would make it out alive.

It was the perfect trap. Bruno could wipe out everyone

Wayne was using Bruno to get rid of Hayden, destroy Jace, and crush any feeling bad at the t could take the Johnston family throne and swoop in to declare his love without ay

It was a sick, calculated move to take multiple targets down at once.

“The game’s about to begin. Ready, everyone?” Bruno grinned. Then he whistled, and the rope holding me loosened.
