Justin's P.O.V
It was a Sunday; two days after that incident with Lisa. We were supposed to go to church today and I thought to go to the pastor so he'll pray for me and maybe the damn thing in me that makes me go crazy all the time will leave me... but I couldn't do that. I don't know why.
I took my bath and dressed up. It was 7:25am already and on a typical Sunday, we always went to church by 8:00am but when I went out of my room to check if anyone was getting ready for church I didn't see any sign that showed anyone was awake. The whole house was as silent as a graveyard.
Since no one was awake... I went back into my room and started watching different TikTok videos.

Coyde's P.O.V
I knew Logan was lying to me when we talked the other day. He's such a damn bloody liar and also a traitor. I couldn't bring myself to believing his lies when I knew that was mere stupidity.
We had been very close friends in since kindergarten to primary school and up till college so I knew the kind of person he was. He was just like Loki... really deceitful and cunning. I could remember us pulling pranks on bullies and the teachers we hated. He was always the mastermind.
He dated lots of girls too and dumped them almost right after. I never understood why till this moment... why he can't just stick with one person. And I didn't understand what pulled so many girls to him. It was most probably because of his handsome figure, his joking attitude and his romantic way of flirting that attracted them to him.
And truly, he was attractive... He had such wild brown eyes... eyes that can encage you for a life time and his hair was just so black and catchy.
Our friendship broke in High School when he snatched my girlfriend; Valerie Hart from me. And the worst part was that he dumped her after two weeks. Even though she came back to me, crawling... I just couldn't accept her. But still, I was stupid enough to accept him back as a friend.
I told myself that I was going to keep him at arm's length and make sure I don't ever bring him into my life 'cause who knows... maybe he could even steal my wife. He's capable of that.
But I got so desperate, I didn't have any other option but to ask him for help... since Charles had disappointed me the last time. And now Logan does this?! I should have known that he hadn't changed and was still the same deceitful and stupid Logan Stone.
'It was so exasperating and so annoying. I wasn't going to let him go scot free just like Davis didn't either'. I laughed devilishly as I thought of that.
It was 7:30am and Vanessa was still sleeping peacefully so as I got off the bed, I tried the best I could not to wake her up... so she won't question me like she did the other day.
I went to the shower, brushed and took my bath quickly. I wore a black, expensive designer suit and sprayed a perfume so I'd smell good. I wore a pair of black sunglasses, a pair of black gloves and then a black hat. I looked like a bad ass hitman.
I looked into the mirror to make sure I looked as professional and good as I could and I did look really good in the designer suit. I brushed my black hair till it looked as neat as possible.
I left the room; trying to be as stealthy as possible then I went to one of the unoccupied rooms in the house... to get a very useful equipment. Anastasia was also sleeping. We normally sleep for a long time on Sundays.
I went into her room and pecked her on her forehead. She flinched. I loved her so much I could lay down my pride and ego just for her. She looked so much like her mother.
I caressed her hair, wishing she won't wake up. But when she flinched again, I left. I couldn't bear someone asking me where I was going, all dressed up.
I ran downstairs and got into my black Ferrari. Then I drove out of the house, unnoticed.
**********************
I was on my way to Logan's house. It was a very long time ago since I visited last... that was the last time I saw him... till now.
I couldn't forget where it was located. It always haunted my memory.
Logan wasn't married and I knew. The day that he gets married is the day I'll stop hating him... which is so impossible. Besides... there's no way he's ever going to get married... not after today.
He always loved sleeping with many different women. He was the kind of person that just couldn't stick with one woman. It was like a psychological problem. He called it 'tasting from different wine glasses' and it still disgusts me till now. But no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't change his behavior.
I got to the gate of his three story building and came out of my car. I knocked softly at the gate and a man; probably his gatekeeper looked through the peephole to see who was at the other side of the gate.
I was wearing a totally black outfit, the black suit, trouser, black hat, shades and gloves. The only thing that wasn't black was the undershirt that I wore. The gate keeper was probably so taken aback by my style of dressing; he got his eyes from the peep-hole. I smirked lightly because of that.
"Who have you come to see, please?" He asked in a muffled voice. Logan had probably changed his gate-keeper because the one he had before would have probably recognized my face and wouldn't have even thought of opening the gate for me.
"I'm here to see Mr. Logan Andres, your boss" I answered in a deep voice. A voice that meant business. I removed the sun glasses to make it seem more dramatic... and maybe to instill some more fear into his heart.
"I'm sorry sir, but he's asleep right now." He said.
Damn! Logan was so freaking lazy, he sleeps all day. Which sane man would still be asleep by 8:30am??? Well, the better it is for me.
"Its for an urgent business purpose." I lied.
"Okay... give me a sec. I'll just phone him. Please what's your name?" He asked and then he placed his eye in the peephole... probably to observe my features thoroughly.
The song; 'Freaky Friday,' suddenly started playing in my head. I looked at my watch briefly.
"I'm Kanye West!" I said as I pulled out my gun and shot directly through the hole and the bullet went straight through his skull. Then I heard a loud thud.
It was so accurate and I was so lucky the street was empty so nobody saw me.
I shot at the door many times until I destroyed the door lock and I opened the door. I walked over the dead gate keeper's body.
His house was so large although he probably needed just one room. Maybe the other rooms were for his worthless whores.
I walked over to the front door and tried to open it. It was locked! I squatted to pick the lock with the lock pick I had brought along. It was kinda difficult but in the end I did it.
I opened the door and walked in. The house was absolutely gorgeous; there was a beautiful chandelier hanging in the sitting room. His house had so many pictures of nude women hanging on the walls. What kind of an idiotic man was he?! He's just extremely disgusting.
I imagined how he felt looking at the nude women every single day of his life. The thought just gave me more vibes to kill him.
I was very careful not to make any sounds as I walked up the stairs.
I still remembered clearly where his room was. It was the third room to the left on the third floor. It was the same room I had caught him and my second girlfriend in, years ago. He did the same thing to me twice. I can't believe I was ever that naive... and he probably expects me to still be as naive as that.
I climbed up the first floor and then the second.
I know when you fall into a ditch once... you shouldn't fall into the same one again. But I did just that.
Anyways, that's a story for another day... or for never. 'Right now, I have a very inhuman deceiver to deal with.' I thought to myself and smirked.
I got to the third floor and tried to open the door. Surprisingly, it was open. I made sure I opened it very wide.
What I saw was exactly what I had expected; Logan with a different woman in bed. Asshole!

Logan's P.O.V
I was doing my stuff with my girl under cover when suddenly, the door opened wide and I saw John Coyde standing by it, wearing a black outfit.
Roslyn was startled but not as startled as I was. I didn't expect him to come to my house at all. I should have left for Hawaii when I had the chance.
"Logan... Logan... Logan." He said dramatically and smirked wildly. Damn! What does he want from me?
He pulled a pistol from his trouser pocket.
"Honey... who is he??" Roslyn asked as she sat up, covering her body with the blanket. She sounded extremely tensed... probably because he was pointing a gun at me.
"He's an old friend of mine" I said and I sat uprightly and rested my back on the headrest, his gun trailing my head all the way.
"An old friend!" He said, as if asking... and laughed throatily. He sounded so devilish.
"John, what are you doing here and how did you get in?" I asked, frightened by the gun he was holding. I almost stammered.
"I used the door," He replied sarcastically "Is that even a question? You left your damn door open." He stated plainly.
"Why didn't you knock before you came in?" I feigned disapproval. All I was doing was just to impress Roslyn. If she weren't beside me, I would have probably peed on my pants by now... 'cause I know JC can decide to blow my head off any time he felt like it. I was glad he hadn't.
Roslyn looked at me and I looked back at her and shrugged. She was speechless.
"You should know... you can't lie to everyone... every time" He shot at me.
"What are you talking about?" I said, pretending to be ignorant of the reason he came here. I wondered how and why the gatekeeper let him in. I was so going to sack him after this!
"You think you can easily deceive me and get away with my money???" He paused and smiled lightly. "I'm not as dumb and naive as you think!" He declared. I wasn't sure about the last thing he said. I would have said it to his face but... hell he had a gun pointing directly at my own face!!!
"I was never trying to deceive you... my men are truly dead." I said. I felt my voice trembling... I hope it was just me and it wasn't actually trembling.
"What is he talking about??" Roslyn asked me but I ignored her. When she saw I ignored her she said, "Honey... what's going on?!"
"That was just a stupid lie!" He barked. "Your men took money from 'the target' and let him go, right?? Am I lying?" He barked harder.
"I knew I should never have trusted you!" He added in a hostile voice
"I swear, they didn't, his guards killed them." I lied... trying to sound as sincere as possible.
He laughed, in a mocking way. "You still think I'm as stupid as I was" He said between cackles. "When he came to my house that same night... he didn't come with any guards, whatsoever... So you're not going to lie to anybody today… Especially not me." He stated. I didn't know that what I did in the past scarred him this much.
I didn't have anything to say because he had concrete evidence. But if Davis Cole's son had gone to his house earlier that night... why didn't JC kill him??
"I don't know who killed them... and I actually don't care" I said plainly. I silently prayed for him not to pull the trigger. "... but I know they're dead, alright?! Their phones are switched off and I know they would have called by now. I'm really serious." I said. He looked so angry.
"This is getting really confusing... What's going on here?" She asked, making him stare angrily at her. He moved his aim to her skull and not mine anymore. I wished she could try shutting up because I really don't want to lose her to him.
I felt so bad that I put Roslyn in such a dangerous condition and I hoped with all my heart that JC doesn't kill her. 'cause if he does... it'll haunt me throughout my life.
She knew practically nothing about me. She didn't know that I was a drug-dealer... she didn't know I had assassins... she didn't know JC hired me. And I didn't think she should die just because of my sins.
My eyes begged him not to kill her. He put the gun down and I sighed heavily at that
"You know... I always hated you!" He started "Right from the day you snatched my first girlfriend from me." He looked so hurt saying those words.
"I'm so sorry about that... That was in the past" I said, trying to soothe him.
"I don't think I'm ever going to forgive you" He concluded
"Please do... okay" I said. He looked kind of disgusted.
"Shit! You disgust me" I absolutely expected that "Sleeping with so many women. That's fucked man!" He spat and then I got quite offended.
"That's none of your freaking business... you hear me?" I yelled a little loudly, forgetting that he possessed a gun.
"Sorry bitch! You're so unlucky that you're here at this time" He said calmly, referring to Roselyn and pointing his gun at her.
'He better not kill her!' I thought. If he did, I was going to die also... after killing him.
"Please, don't do anything to me" She pleaded. "I'm just his girlfriend... not his partner in crime. I don't even know anything about what you guys are talking about."
I gave him that begging look again but he didn't pay any attention to me.
"Hard luck, girl!" He said and shot her in the head. She dropped dead on the bed, bleeding profusely. I looked at her dead body... I didn't know what to do.
My world came down... crashing! I couldn't believe any of it, I couldn't believe that JC just killed my beloved girlfriend just because of me. I felt so much like crying, but I converted that into fury. I was just so exasperated.
"What the fuck!" I yelled. I was so angry, I didn't give a damn about the fact that he was with a gun. He had just stepped on the lion's tail... and this lion wasn't going to let him get away with that!
