Chapter 316 - The Final Hours (1/2)

Six hours later.

Jackson arrived in the manor. He was greeted with a palpable silence. when he went to his room looking for Violet, his room was empty. He saw Leo on the terrace on the second floor staring at the full moon outside. ”Did you see Violet?” he asked.

Leo was aware that Jackson was already home. ”I saw her entering the basement thirty minutes ago...” he answered without looking at Jackson.

Jackson's brows furrowed, confused. ”What she's doing in the basement?” he quickly spans on his heels and went down on the staircase, then he sauntered towards the direction of the basement situated near the kitchen area.

Unaware that Leo was following him quietly.

Jackson entered the basement and went down the stairs in a hurry...without a word Leo delivered a swift kick onto Jackson's back resulting in him falling into the solid floor, face down. Jackson groaned in agony and was about to stand up but Leo delivered another hard blow on his head using a metal bar creating a gaping wound on Jackson's head, the blood from the wound splattered on Leo's face.

Jackson's body crumbled into the floor.

Leo dragged Jackson's unconscious body to the post in the basement and tied the rope around his body tightly making sure he won't be able to free himself from the rope. Then he silences his mouth with duct tape forever.

Done with Jackson...

Leo went to the bed and saw that the blanket was already moving, which means Violet was already awakened.

He yanked the blanket and looked at his ex-girlfriend's unrecognizable face, he wiped the blood from her face so that she can have a better view of Jackson who was unconsciously being tied to a post.

Violet's eyes widened upon realizing that she was tied to the bed as well...then her tears start to stream down her face when she caught sight of her lover tied to the post already looking dead. She looked into Leo's eyes begging for her life.

But Leo has no more remorse and pity left on his body...

He can no longer feel any kind of emotion for the two people who hurt him badly.

”All has to end! You and Jackson will have to stare at each other for the rest of your life inside this basement, enjoy your remaining days on earth!” he declared with a devilish gleam in his eyes.

That was Leo's final statement before he left the basement.

Violet stared at Leo's retreating form...tears never stop pouring from her eyes slowly draining the blood from her face. She will try to escape...trying to free herself from the rope that was tied securely around her body...she won't give up!

For the next few hours, she tried her best to free herself from the confinement of the rope and the bed but her body was already weakening and her strength was already depleting...she looked at Jackson helplessly who was not awaken yet.

Then she heard noises outside the door of the basement...as if somebody was pounding on the door. Oh no! Then she realized to her horror what Leo has been trying to do...

Nooooooo! Leo was locking them inside!

With no water and food inside—she and Jackson will surely die inside the basement along with her unborn baby, the horrific thoughts scared her to death and after a minute or two, she loses consciousness again.

Outside the basement...

Leo was busy hammering nails on the door, making sure it can no longer be opened from the inside. He hammered more sticks and woods on the door making sure it's hard to open from the inside.

One hour later.
