The city lights glittered below as Sabastian stood outside Kassie's apartment, the weight of unspoken words heavy in the air. He faced her with a mix of frustration and vulnerability, demanding answers about the mysterious man and the unsettling warning from Mrs. Beast.
Kassie met his gaze with a steely resolve, her tone unyielding
. "Sabastian, you want answers?you're in a game you're not even aware you're playing.
As for Mrs. Beast, maybe you should focus less on her warning and more on the shadows you've ignored."
Sabastian's frustration flared,
"I've been trying to unravel those shadows, Kassie, but every lead hits a dead end. What are you not telling me?"
Kassie smirked, her words laced with a hint of savage truth,
"Maybe you're not as smart as you think, Mr. Beast. The answers are right in front of you, but your arrogance blinds you."
The tension between them crackled as revelations hung in the air. The city below seemed to hold its breath, waiting for the confrontation to unfold, and within the exchange of harsh words, the shadows deepened, casting a pall over the fragile alliance that once existed.
Kassie, undeterred by Sabastian's frustration, continued with a piercing gaze, "You believe you're untouchable, that your ambition shields you from consequences. But remember, power is a double-edged sword, and those shadows you're so eager to expose might reveal more than you can handle."
Sabastian's jaw clenched as he shot back,
"You think you know everything? If you have answers, spit them out."
She chuckled, the sound holding a bitter edge.
"Oh, I have answers, but you're not ready to hear them. You're blinded by your own narrative, a story where you're always the Villain. Well, Mr. Beast, not every story has a fairy tale ending."
As the exchange escalated, the truth hung in the balance, a fragile thread threatening to unravel. The city,
a silent witness to their verbal sparring, seemed to absorb the tension. Kassie, unyielding in her stance, seemed determined to shatter the illusions Sabastian held about his own invincibility.
In the aftermath of their confrontation, the shadows deepened, casting doubt on alliances, trust, and the once unshakeable foundation of their shared history.
The game had evolved, and the stakes had never been higher.
Kassie spoke
"You're so consumed by your own arrogance that you never saw the puppet master pulling your strings. But guess what, Sabastian? I sent that warning. A little nudge to remind you that in this intricate dance, you're not the only one who knows the steps."
Sabastian's eyes widened in a mix of shock and realization.
"You? You wrote that ominous letter?"
A smirk played on Kassie's lips, a blend of defiance and satisfaction. "Surprised, Mr. Beast? I've always been a step ahead.
You thought you could outsmart everyone, but you underestimated the one person who truly knows you."
Sabastian's composure shattered, giving way to a storm of anger. His eyes, once calculating, now burned with the intensity of a wounded predator.
You think this is a game, Kassie? Sending cryptic warnings, playing puppet master? You've gone too far!"
He seized her arm, his grip firm, as if trying to anchor himself in the face of this unexpected revelation. His voice, a low growl, carried a warning.
"You don't understand how this works, darling. This isn't a playground for your schemes. Stay out of my way, or you'll regret every move you've made."
Kassie, undeterred, met his gaze with a steely resolve. In a dramatic twist, she swiftly pulled out a sleek handgun, leveling it at Sabastian.
"What do you say? Who's still ahead in this twisted game?"
Sabastian, surprisingly composed, let out a sardonic laugh.
"You know I'm not human, right? Your guns don't work on me, love. Sorry to kill your dramatic moment, but after you know my weakness, take a shot at me."
In that tense moment, the air crackled with defiance. Kassie's gaze remained unwavering, her finger steady on the trigger.
"Don't underestimate me, Sabastian. I know more than you think, and I'm not afraid to pull the trigger if it comes to that."
Sabastian, though facing the barrel of a gun, managed a smirk.
"You've always been impulsive, Kassie. But do you really think resorting to violence will change anything? It just shows how desperate you are."
The standoff lingered, the weight of their unspoken history amplifying the charged atmosphere. Kassie's resolve wavered for a moment, torn between the anger that fueled her actions and the realization that violence might not be the solution.
With a deliberate motion, Kassie holstered her gun, breaking the tension.
"This isn't over, Sabastian. We're both playing with fire, and sooner or later, we'll see who gets burned."
Sabastian's retort was cold and cutting.
"I don't play games, Kassie. I win."
" Sure, you don't. Then, what have you been doing for the past year?"
Sebastian clenched his fist and stormed out of the apartment door slammed the door behind him making a loud noise
If I was to be honest I had been laughing inside ,It was truly hilarious to look at his confident face.
