( THE SECRET GETS OUT )
★ ★
It felt like time froze, cause everyone stood transfixed on their spot. Their eyes widened as the scene played in their head, and galaxy quickly pushed nathaniel away from herself.
The bullet met just him. He placed his hand on his already bleeding stomach and slumped to the floor with a loud thud.
” Dad…” He trailed, coughing out a whole load of blood. His vision became blurry, and before they knew it, his hand fell and his eyes closed shut.
Mr. McKay just stood there, trying to figure out a way to hide the revolver. He didn’t give a care in the world about what he’d just done to his son.
” No!! Please…no!!” Autumn screamed fearfully, rushing to nathaniel who was now lying unconsciously on the ground.
She crouched to his level and placed his head on her laps, trying to keep her tears at bay as they kept wetting his face.
Her expression tightened as if all of her facial muscles were holding in her emotions, and only just managing to contain them.
” Don’t díe on me you chimpanzee. Please wake up!! I have a lot of things to say…to express how am feeling. How will i do that if you’re déad?? Answer me!!” She wailed. The pain she felt in her heart hounded her, that all she wanted to do was DÍE.
Galaxy frowned, and quickly dashed towards them with the aim of pushing autumn aside. Little did she know that toys were on her path.
” Ahhh!!” She shrieked as she tripped and fell on her face. Her temples got bruised and she passed out immediately.
” Boss. The cops are here and they have a search warrant” A bodyguard came in running and he gasped at the sight before him. Before he could do anything to fix the scene, the cops barged in.
” Miguel McKay. You have the right to remain silent, cause anything you say and do will be used against you in the court of law. Handcuff him” One of the policemen said and he ( Mr. McKay) chuckled devílishly.
” Who reported me?? And why do i have to be the one to get arrested??. She pulled the fuçking trigger and not me” He frowned, pointing at autumn who was sitting on the floor, crying her eyes out.
” I did” A tiny, cute, angel-like voice said from behind and everyone turned. Autumn froze at who she saw.
” Wi…n…ter??” She stuttered, rising to her feet to get a clearer look at his face. Is she hallucinating right now!?.
He looked so identical to her déad brother. Their green eyes, pointed nose, red lips, almost everything was the same, except from the fact that he had blonde hair.
” My name is Cole and not winter. Right mom??” The little boy turned while speaking.
With swift movements, a séxy looking woman came into view. She’s been hiding there the whole time.
She was slim, and her bare shoulders and arms were flawless. Her gown looked quite expensive, and her demeanor was so calm and composed.
Autumn: “……”
Readers: “……”
” Mu…mum??” Autumn stuttered again as she stared at the woman in complete shock. She watched as the woman swiftly walked towards her and touched her cheek in a motherly way.
” We’re here to do our jobs, and not for a family reunion. Please excuse us” The second policeman said as the paramedics walked in.
They put nathaniel’s unconscious body on a stretcher, and the policemen handcuffed Mr. McKay. He didn’t struggle, he just followed them till they were out of sight.
” How?? I need explanations now…cause am Fuçkiñg going çrazy” Autumn ruffled her hair and yanked the woman’s hand off her face.
” It all started when….”

FLASHBACK, FOURTEEN YEARS AGO**
” What did you just say??” Mrs. Kennedy asked impatiently as she stood behind Mr. McKay, who was looking at his laptop screen.
An anonymous person sent some pictures to him. And among them is a picture of his wife and his BESTFRIEND, making out in an hotel.
” Am Fuçkiñg going to kíll him. I’ll wipe out his entire family linage. How dare he??” He roared, and Mrs. Kennedy sucked in her breath and turned around.
She watched as he rushed to his wardrobe and brought out a gun, her eyes widened.
” What are you planning to do with that?? Please don’t do something stvpid. You’re not the only one who got chéated on, so why are you flaring up??. Don’t let our twenty years friendship get destroyed because of your temper” She pleaded in tears. He suddenly bursted out in laughter, confusing her even more.
” Friendship??. Pffffft. Fúck our friendship. Am ending this today, and i’ll start from you” He smirked and aimed the gun at her.
” Please don’t do this. Don’t ruin your life by getting your hands dirty. I’ll do anything you want…. just don’t do this” She rubbed his chest and gave him the puppy teary eyes.
The moment he saw her wiping her tears with the back of her palm, he felt a lump in his throat.
‘ Why is she affecting me so much?’ He wondered, as his gaze was fixed on her face.
” Marry me. Be my woman and i’ll spare your life. Am not promising to spare your families life…but i’ll spare yours!!” Mr. McKay said and rested on the wall.
She had no choice but to agree, for her own selfish reasons. There was no way that she could convince him not to do it… cause when he sets his mind on something, he does it without delay.
” We’ll fake your déath. That’s the only way out of this… okay!?” He muttered softly and she nodded nonchalantly, biting her lip guítily.

BACK TO THE PRESENT DAY**
Autumn stared at her mother for a while, before crashing to the floor like a weightless leaf.
” You did that to your own family because you wanted to live??. How could you??. My poor…brother!! Winter didn’t deserve this….you fuçking ruined his life. You MONSTÉR, i haté you. I cursé the day i ever came to this life by you…i cursé the day i ever saw your stvpid face. You shouldn’t have showed up in the first place, you should have just diéd with them. You made me this way…cold, harsh and rude to people who tried to get close to me. Now i see that all this was pointless….DÍE!! Just díe and let me be!!” Autumn shouted and stormed out of the room.
Mrs. Kennedy ran after her, after coming back to her senses. She held her hand, as she tried to run out of the house.
” Let go of me right this instant! I haté you….i fuçking háte you Vivian Kennedy” She took her hand in her mouth, and bite it really hard.
” You id!ot. I’ll make sure you go on your knees for your son, and i swear it, even when you do, your life will be a living héll. You will suffér greatly. His spirit will háunt you forever!!” She spat at her.
She entered her vehicle, and the driver drove off in an instant. Autumn threw her head against the soft leather seat, bit her lips and could only sob.
” Where to ma’am??” The chauffeur asked. She turned her head sideways, and parted her lips to speak.
” The cemetery” She choked on her tears.
