Chapter 9 Brandon pushed himself up from the ground , his eyes darkening as he watched the two figures disappear into the night . The wind howled through the dark as he staggered toward a luxurious villa and slipped inside . From the second floor came the unmistakable sounds of moaning and low whispers - intimate , breathless , unmistakably hers . Brandon crept upstairs , a rope clutched in his hand . Step by step , he approached the man from behind - and in one swift , brutal motion , looped the rope around his neck and yanked hard . " Ahhh ! " Madison shrieked in terror , her voice cracking . Carter gasped , face turning purple , thrashing for air . " Help ... me ... " He clawed at Madison , silently begging for her to save him . But she just froze , staring blankly as Brandon strangled Carter until he could no longer speak- until his eyes went wide and his body went still . " You both deserve to die , " Brandon seethed , his voice trembling with rage . " You destroyed everything . You killed my child . This is for my baby . " Madison's eyes widened in horror as she began inching backward , trying to crawl away - but Brandon caught her by the hair and yanked her back . " You , " he hissed , " you're the one who deserves to die the most . If it weren't for you , I never would've lost Rachel . I never would've lost my child . " Madison fell to her knees , sobbing , begging for her life . " I was wrong , I swear ! Please , Brandon , just give me one more chance ! I'll be good - I'll stay with you , I'll do whatever you want , I promise ! " Smack . His palm cracked across her face , loud and sharp . " Brandon ... no , you are my brother , please ... " He sneered . " Brother ? You think you deserve to call me that ? A filthy slut like you ? " Madison clutched her swollen cheek , still groveling . " I didn't have a choice , " she cried . " You know I'm just a woman , what power do I have ? When you Chapter 9 12.84 % got arrested , Carter forced me to be with him - I was scared , I couldn't fight back ... " Brandon's hands shot to her throat , his eyes bloodshot , his voice a growl from hell . " You really think I believe a word you say ? " " All of this - everything I've become - is because of you . You're the one who should've died ! " He grabbed her by the hair and slammed her head down - hard - against the glass coffee table . Crash . The table shattered on impact . Blood poured from Madison's head , soaking the shards beneath her . She writhed on the floor , trying to get up , but Brandon reached into his pocket - and pulled out a gleaming blade . " If you did something wrong ... then you have to pay the price . " With a cold flick of his wrist , the blade flashed - and Madison collapsed into a pool of blood , unmoving . Just then , the front door burst open with a bang . Dozens of officers stormed in . " Brandon Whitmore ! You are under arrest for murder . Drop the weapon and surrender immediately ! " Brandon was taken into custody , again . I got the call just as I was heading to the gate at the airport . I paused at security as my phone rang . It was the police . " Ms. Moore , " the officer said , " we've discovered that you falsified a DNA test result . Can you explain why? " " I just wanted to leave something behind for the baby I lost . Is that a crime now ? " I hung up before they could answer and walked straight toward the gate , never looking back . Chapter 9 12.84 % Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
