CHAPTER 67
A few hours have gone by since Thomas was shot. The whole family is in the hospital. Melina fears every second, the doctors will just come out and confirm Thomas is dead. Hopefully, that won’t happen. She snaps out of her reverie when someone calls her.
“Melina,” someone says, barging into the room. Melina turns her head to the door, and her eyes widen in shock.
“Franky!” Melina jolts out of her seat and runs to her sister.
“Hello, Mel,” Franky says, smiling.
“Oh, my God! Franky, it’s really you,” Melina says, pulling her in for a hug.
“Yes, it’s me.” “I’m so sorry for what happened to Thomas,” Franky says, pulling from their embrace.
“I don’t know what I will do, Franky, if he dies. I didn’t even tell him I forgave him before he closed his eyes,” Melina says, as fresh tears sting the back of her eyes.

THOMASHe looks at Melina as she settles into her chair. He’s relieved she didn’t question him about why he took so long at the warehouse. It wasn’t something he couldn’t tell Melina; he just didn’t want to bother her with it. Thomas smiles as he thinks about it. He looks at his lighter, and the smile on his face broadens. He couldn’t think of a better way to send the bastard to hell.A few hours agoThomas enters the container where James is being held. The room has buckets, a chair, a table with blades, a blow torch, pliers, and a whip. Rafael was quick to deliver him while Thomas was in the hospital.

The sun is setting, and the only light illuminating the place, adding to its allure.Melina walks inside, to the bedroom, following the trail of the rose petals.
