Page 10 of Breaking the Vows

I push off of Sean and grab his shirt from the floor. I place it over my body and walk back up to Jared. His head is down and he’s looking so pathetic.

I kneel down and place a finger under his chin saying, “Cheer up, love. It’ll all be over soon.”

And that’s when I go reeling to the ground. Without even realizing it, Jared had made me believe he was poor and helpless when he suddenly kicks me.

“Asshole!” I shout as Sean grabs the knife from the floor and comes to my aid.

“Are you okay, baby?” Sean asks, reaching out a hand to help me back to my feet.

“Yeah, the son of a bitch just wants to die right now. Fuck it, do him in, love,” I say as I grab my bleeding chin. The motherfucker got me good.

“Any last requests,” Sean asks, ripping the gag off of Jared’s mouth.

“Why!” he yells out. “Why are you two doing this? How could you say you’re in love? Didn’t you love me, Cassidy?” Jared questions, struggling with the way things are continually unfolding before him.

“Oh, but I did, once upon a time when you didn’t ask me to screw your best friend.”

I lean against the bedpost and wait to hear what else his sorry ass has to say.

“Yeah, well, I thought you were faithful. I didn’t know you were lying on your back for every single guy that looked at you.”

“Ha! Okay, so I think it’s time,” I say, looking over at Sean. “Gag back on. Gut him.”

Jared jerks and flinches on the floor sporadically. He tries escaping, but it’s useless; he’s not going anywhere. Sean reaches for the gag and places it into Jared’s mouth before harshly digging the blade into his left side. Jared’s head is shaking back and forth, tears are streaming down his eyes, and muffled screams are leaving his throat. The gag works wonders for silencing useless pieces of shit like Jared.

My eyes widen as a look of satisfaction forms on my face. My husband is about to die and soon enough, I’ll be free. The end is near and a soothing feeling comes over me.

“That insurance money is going to look so pretty sitting in my bank account,” I say, gloating.

Jared’s eyes suddenly widen, as he finally realizes what this is really all about. Sean continues stabbing Jared until he takes his last breath and I see his eyes rolling back.

“Quickly, love. Let’s burn this motherfucking place down and get the hell out of here. We’ve got a plane to catch.”

The End
