More Than One Way To Die

Chapter 15 What To Do Next

Unknown POV

I finish getting dressed and slipping on my shoes as I hear a light knocking on my room door gaining my attention. I stand up walking across the room to my door as I slowly open it to see the one person I never expected to see on the other side.

"What do you want?" I ask with so much disgust in my voice just for her. I hate this woman more than a lot of other people in this entire world because of the chaos she has caused in my family, with no regard for anyone but herself.. but who am I to judge since I started this path of my own but in a different way only a little bit ago.. "I need to talk to you." Samantha says in a suspicious whispering tone as she looks back and forth down the hallway. My eyes squint at her just as suspiciously as I too glance down the hallway.

"Well I don't want to talk to you." I spat back as I start to shut the door in her face but before I can, she wedges herself in between the door frame and door making it so I can't shut the door now.

"Well too bad.. You need to talk to me now.. or I'll just go straight to the cops when they get here." She spats back at me with so much sass and confidence in her voice, that just makes my eyebrows scrunch together.

"I don't care what you do now leave me alone." I say trying to push her out of the doorway so I can shut my door.. but what she says next makes my heart do flips in my chest. "I saw what you did to that drink.. I know what was suppose to happen with it but also saw what really happened.. took a left turn for ya huh?"

I feel my jaw clench at her because I wasn't expecting that to come up.

"You didn't see anything and no one would believe your lying ass anyways." I state to her as I smirk her way until she puts her hand to my chest pushing me back into the room, shutting the door behind us before demanding from me. "I will tell them all what I saw, unless you give me half of your inheritance you will be recieving."

I laugh at that comment alone as I retort. "You're rich already.. and like I said no one would believe you anyways so why does it matter if I give into your demands?"

I watch her roll her eyes as she groans and says, "It sounds like Chad is actually considering getting a divorce to get his money so I won't have the lifestyle I have come to know and love, if he does that.. so I need to get something else figured out.."

I groan at this as I spat back. "You're not getting s**t from me you're just a gold digging b***h. This is my money and not yours and I don't care what you saw because I barely believe you and I'm the one that did it.. so no one else would believe you either.. just get the f*#k out of here before you have a real problem to deal with." I threaten her with so much anger laced in every single word making sure she knows I'm serious. I watch her shake her head vigorously as her face turns red in anger at this comment.

"No no no! This is not how this is suppose to go! You're suppose to give into my demands! I need the money!" She yells stomping her foot on the ground as she hits my chest continuously.

"I'm not giving you a damn thing! And you have worn my patience thin.. I gave you a chance and warned you." I say as my hands quickly wrap all around her neck as I start to squeeze and lift. She starts to try to fight me off but her flailing arms and legs don't work very well at all against my strong physique.

I just lift higher until her legs are off of the floor and she is just trying to get my arms off from around her neck. Her struggling doesn't help at all I think it is just making things worse for herself. I can tell by how heavy her body is getting that she is getting weaker.. not being able to fight back anymore.

Her legs stop kicking as her hands continue to try to fight along with her gasps for air getting nothing in return. I squeeze tighter in my grip knowing there is not much fight left and that I just need to finish this or my plan is ruined by this meddling little b***h who put her nose where it wasn't meant to be. She did this to herself. I gave her a warning it's not my fault she didn't take it.

Her arms have no more fight in them as they drop to her side abruptly as she just hangs from her neck in my hands. I observe the light in her eyes leaving as they turn completely dull.. more dull then I ever expected.. I have seen in movies and heard how this would look.. But hearing and seeing are two different things.

I feel my mind and body change almost instantly at this interaction just staring deep into her dulled dead eyes. I don't feel the same anymore.. I'm not the same after that.. who could be. I know I have already killed before but this is the first time I have killed with my bare hands, seeing my actions face to face and it's shocking to say the least. My heart is racing as I feel my breath hitch in my throat.. I can't help but feel exhilarated from this action alone just making me want to do it again to get that same intoxicating high.

Who would have known this is how I would feel after something so horrible but done for the person I love. Some people do the worse things with the best intentions. I honestly don't think this is that bad of a thing because she was an awful person but I know I should feel bad I just suprisingly don't.

I continue to stare into her dead eyes as I squeeze harder with my hands, making sure she is dead.. you know, for good measure.. until I just let go of her neck abruptly. Watching her limp body flop to the floor awkwardly.

"Welp that sucks for you.. shouldn't have meddled into things you obviously couldn't handle. You got what you deserved.. now what to do with the body?" I say to myself as I kick her limp body, getting it out of my way so I can figure out what to do with it before I head down stairs.

Violet's POV

I limp back to my room as quickly as I can which isn't quick at all especially since I was an i***t and forgot my crutches in the room because I left in such a haste.. I try to not get overwhelmed with all the shocking feelings hitting me like a brick wall but how could I honestly not.. I can't believe my grandmother and now mother are dead.

I know I wasn't on the best terms with my mother by any means, but that doesn't mean I didn't want her to get better. As the saying goes I wanted her to succeed on her own.. just didn't want her to do it around me. That relationship bridge burned down a while ago and I promise there was no wood to even try to revive the relationship we once had.

I wanted her to get better though.. because no one deserves the torture of that type of lonely hate filled life no matter who you are. My mother was getting hate from all around but she was also giving hate all around and who could survive that life anyways.. It's sad it had to happen like that, all alone.. But what's really scary about it, is to think that she was poisoned by someone in this house.. She didn't die by her own awful disease that was slowly killing her anyways.. she died the way no one expected suprisingly enough.

I can't even imagine who would do such a thing. I honestly wouldn't have thought that anyone here would have been able to do this but obviously I was wrong. I don't even know how we would even determine who did this when anyone in the room had some sort of motive.. well except for Kameron and I guess James but I honestly don't know about James for sure because maybe he did.. but everyone else had complete motive to do this.. So who could it possibly be.

My mind is reeling about last night just trying to think of anything that might help the situation at all even if it's just a little bit.

I walk across my room and to the vanity to fix my hair and make up so I don't look so drained even though I do have a nice glow to my skin.. I think Kameron is to thank for that glow with how good he made me feel last night. I had some of the best sleep I have ever endured and he has to be the reason why. Just because this is the first time I have slept with him and it was well worth it all around.

I throw my hair up into a messy bun leaving some strands of hair hanging down giving myself a cute messy look which I strive at, especially since I can't really look nice with this bulky thing on my leg.

I straighten out my off the shoulder dark gray crochet sweater as I then fix my shorts that I'm wearing with my one tennis shoe that I have on. I give a spritz of my perfume onto my collar bone and neck.. and then give myself a once over in the mirror. I look as good as I can in this situation I guess. I make sure to grab my crutches this time as I slowly move towards the door.

Before I can even reach the door it gets knocked on as I stop in my tracks then reply, "Come in." In walks Kameron looking as amazing as ever. I can't help but wish we didn't have to leave the room because I would stay in here with him all day long if I could. He looks way to appetizing to not truly enjoy just for myself.

"Hey." I say shyly to him as he smirks back replying. "Hey beautiful.. looking more stunning then ever.. I keep thinking you can't look anymore beautiful and here we are with you suprising me by proving me wrong once again." He says smirking my way.

I can feel my face heating up from the blush that completely covers my face now. "Stop it.. we have bigger things to worry about besides you making up lies over here." I say to him as he shakes his head before replying, "It's not a lie whatsoever baby but we do have other things to worry about, you are correct. How are you holding up by the way?"

I shrug my shoulders not really knowing how to respond.. my feelings are so back and forth that it's just completely confusing for myself.

"I don't know how to feel honestly. I have hated my mother for so many years because of all the unfixable damage she has done to not only me but the rest of my family in so many different ways.. but I never wanted to see her get killed either.. I did want her to get better just from afar that's all.. and honestly I can't get it through my head that Gramma is gone.. it just doesn't feel real.. not yet for myself.. but the worse part is just knowing someone went out of their way to kill.. family.. no matter who it was in the family I didn't think any of us had it in us to kill let alone kill family.. no matter how mad we were at her.. everyone had motive. I just never thought any of my family could do it.. we all have bad and good inside of ourselves but to act on it is a completely different thing.. It's just scary to know someone in this mansion could do that." I try to explain as best as I can to him as he steps closer to me.

"Everything will be figured out but I promise I won't let anyone hurt you.. and until we can get this figured out I will be staying with you every night to make sure you're safe." Kameron says to me reassuringly as he gently touches my cheek.

"I have never felt more safe then when I'm with you Kam.. but it just scares me to know one of them killed her.. what if whoever it is, kills more? Wonder what the motivation is? or if they even have a motivation.. what's going to happen next? I just can't get my mind under control as it just runs rampant." I explain in a panicked tone not knowing how to react to all this.

"Hey you know it wasn't me right?" He asks me as I vigorously nod my head at him. He smiles big as he states, "So just know it wasn't me and that I won't let anything bad happen to you. we will figure everything else out in time, even if that just means waiting on the cops to get here to help with the investigation.. ok? Don't worry yourself with all these questions we can't answer at the moment."

I nod to him as he hugs me into his strong hold, kissing the temple on my head gently. The hug is broken as he turns around opening the door for me to head out and meet up with everyone else down stairs.

We get out of my room as we hear from behind us. "I didn't hear any cries of love making coming from the room like we did last night.. did you not have enough time to w***e yourself out once more?" Vance spats at me as him and Vincent pass by us waking down the hall together.. I roll my eyes then groan at his comment before I continue behind them. I don't even want to dignify their comment with an response right now.

"So we know Violet had a great time last night.. that idea I'd only supported by what we heard. What about you Kameron, did you enjoy yourself just as much?" Vincent asks as we all start down the stairs. I groan even louder not wanting to discuss about my s*x life with my brothers and the man I hope I satisfied but don't know for sure if I did.. I'm trying to get down the stairs but of course having a hard time trying to do this on my own..

before I even know what's happening I feel the oh so familure strong arms wrapping around my body and flipping me into his arms once again. I watch him somehow grab my crutches and walking us down the stairs without a problem whatsoever suprisingly enough.

"I had the best time of my life.. better than anything before and well worth the wait after all these years.. She is all I seem to think about all the time now.. even with everything else going on she still fills my mind more than anything else. She is amazing and I honestly don't think I could be happier thanks for asking." He says with so much love in his eyes for me as he spitefully makes sure my brothers know how strongly he feels about me.

This of course makes me smile as I hear my brothers groan is distaste of his comment but I don't care. I loved every word that came out from those luscious plump lips. It's like those words are my favorite song that I would just love to play on repeat.

We descend the stairs as he gently sets me down to my feet before handing me the crutches. I take them reluctantly because I hate these things and they are hurting my arm pits to the point that I just about want to go without them. I just wish Kameron could carry me everywhere but that's not fair to ask so I will just deal with this until I just get use to it I guess.

We walk into the main room where we were having drinks and reminiscing last night.. Almost everyone is in here already..we are just about the last ones to arrive.

"Glad everyone could get here.. except.. who is missing?" Kameron asks curiously looking around as Chad answers, "Samantha should be down any minute she was in the shower when I left the room about 15 minutes ago."

"Well we will give her 5 more minutes and if she is not down here then we will have to go up and get her as a group please.. I just want us all to stick together to make sure no one is doing anything suspicious or hurting anyone else." Kameron states from besides me as my father says, "I like you and all Kameron, but who the hell made you boss? I aporiciate your medical skills but that doesn't make you the leader of all of us."

"I'm not saying I'm the leader but out of everyone here, I really don't have any motive to hurt let alone kill Vanessa and I'm the only one with any medical knowledge so I think that makes me more of a nonbias help to everyone in here." He states to my father as Dennis spats back. "You're biased because your dating one of the suspects.. I bet you think she couldn't do this at all don't you.. but I know that her and her brothers had more reason then most to do this to Vanessa.. so are you telling me that you will keep an open mind not leaving any suspect out?"

Kameron glances at me sadly as he nods his head. "I will keep an open mind and not picking favorites. I will just look at the facts and evidence shown.. I swear." He agrees sadly as Barbera brings a Bible in and says to him. "Swear on this Bible that you will keep an open mind only going by the evidence, please." I watch Kameron put his hand onto the Bible as he repeats the words once more making everyone let out a deep breath in relief knowing he won't just pick my side because he is my man.. that's a little scary for myself but I hope he really knows I wouldn't do something like that. But the evidence will prove that I didn't either way.
