181 She would Die
Arianna realized she fucked up at the last minute. There had been the signs and even warnings from Ashley, Rose, and Chelsea, but Cassie had deceived her by her goodwill. No, she let herself get deceived by Cassieâs pretense. No one was to blame but herself.
âW-what -?!â Arianna was not able to speak properly with that chord wrung around her neck because she was beginning to suffocate.
âYou donât know how much Iâve been waiting for this moment,â Cassie sneered, a sadistic smile at the corner of her lips as she grabbed the end of the garrote and tightened the chord to cause more bodily harm.
Arianna turned purple as she struggled for air. She could feel a bunch of pain and her breathing was deep and fast. Arianna saw her life flash before her life and a bitter smile crossed her lips, in the end, she died miserably.
Cassie went on, relishing satisfaction from Ariannaâs pain squeezed face as she tried to gasp for breath, âHonestly, I liked you at first. I really liked you....â She laughed bitterly, âBut you should have just stopped being a flirt,â
Arianna wanted to say something in her defense but all she did was claw at the chords tight around her throat. The situation was beginning to look helpless â and painful. Her lungs were on fire and her head was pounding like someone was hitting it with a bat. Arianna knew at this rate she would black out and die â that was Cassieâs endpoint.
She went on, âHe said nothing was going on between the both of you but I could sense his stares on you and he was distracted even when he was with me,â
âWell, that sounds like a you and your boyfriendâs problem,â Arianna would have sassed back if she wasnât trying so hard not to knock on deathâs door.
âAnd then that incident happened,â Cassie spoke through gritted teeth, a new wave of anger settling over her, âHe thought I wasnât there, but I saw everything. The way he threw himself at you and wanted to have you, none of you noticed me stepping into the room. I saw everything even before Big Joe came in!â
.....
So the bitch witnessed her trying to get raped by her boyfriend and did nothing? Arianna wished this was a fair fight because she wanted to land two or three blows on her face and teach her a lesson she would never forget in a hurry.
âI donât blame you for that anyway...â Cassie laughed pathetically, âIt was not your fault; you didnât ask to be raped. However, I love Kenith too much to lose him and you are a threat to my happiness. He should have killed you alongside your husband but he wanted you alive to punish you dearly... Unfortunately, I canât let that happen. I canât risk that chance! Iâve been with him all these years, I wonât be cast aside!â
âBitch please, have your pathetic boyfriend to yourself, I have better suitors!â Arianna would have said at this point if she had the opportunity. It wasnât her fault she was insecure.
âYou are a good person, Arianna...â Cassieâs gaze suddenly melted and Arianna would have been deceived by that look in the past if she didnât know now that she was a psycho, âBut Iâm sorry, you have to go!â Her gaze switched back to severe as she tightened the chord.
Unfortunately, Arianna didnât want to die as well, at least, not in the hands of this bitch. She wonât go down without a fight. So she at once grabbed the chord from tightening around her neck while holding her breath.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Cassie noticed her resistance and added more force to her grip and Arianna found out the longer she held her breath, the longer she felt like she was going to explode. She would die at this rate.
So with the remaining strength inside of her, Arianna dashed back with all of her might with no specific plan in mind and because Cassie was choking her from behind, she wasnât able to see where they were going.
Something must have tripped her because Cassie fell, bringing the both of them down, the garrote loosened from her neck and Arianna was able to take a mouthful of breath.
No one was more grateful at that moment for oxygen than Arianna because she greedily took in as many as possible into her lungs. But that was a mere deviation because Cassie recovered immediately and tried to grab her to continue from where she stopped, Arianna elbowed her in the face.
A painful groan came from Cassie as Arianna hurried up to her feet, she had to get out of here. But even as she stood, Arianna felt light-headed and wasnât as fast as she wanted to be.
Cassie grabbed her by the leg and tripped her, she landed on the ground with her side and expelled a sharp breath. That hurt like hell.
Before Arianna could recover this time, Cassie already climbed over her body and straddled her. She tightened the garrote that hung limply around her neck.
Ariannaâs eyes grew wild because unlike the last time where Cassie was killing her slowly, she didnât hold back this time. It was obvious that Cassie didnât want a repeat of what happened where she nearly escaped and wanted her dead this time.
She kicked severely, struggling for life but Cassie had this demented look and was stronger than usual. Hot tears fell down Ariannaâs face, she didnât want to die now and especially not like this.
Arianna knew the moment her mind began to wander that she was in danger of moving to the great beyond. So she put up her last fight and it was in the process of striving, that her hand mistakenly touched something.
It was wooden and crafted with a long tip, then it hit Arianna, her hairpin. Because she loved antique collections, Chelsea had gotten her an oriental classic Jade bamboo hairpin for her hair but the makeup artist had rejected it saying it doesnât go with the style Big Joe wanted for her.
Thanks to that, the hairpin was long forgotten until now and Arianna didnât think twice about picking it up and rammed it right into Cassieâs neck.
