Chapter 351: Partners in Crime

"He lived in an apartment building, and I killed him so brutally that it was obvious at first glance that it was a murder and not an accident. I could have run away, and the cops would have never found any clue.

But… Siesta saw me. Turns out she followed in her car to give me my phone which I had left there. And… she saw me flying and recorded everything on her phone.

She then entered the apartment building and came to the apartment I was in. She saw the dead body, but her reaction wasn't as I expected. She didn't seem shocked or surprised. She just gave me my phone back and asked me to leave.

However, since Siesta had entered through the apartment building, she was recorded on the CCTV. If the cops had found the body, Siesta could have been suspected.

So… we got rid of the body by shopping into small pieces. He had three dogs, so we fed them the flesh. We mixed his internal organs such as his heart, intestines, liver, and stomach and minced them together— and flushed them through the toilet.

Once the dogs had finished eating the flesh, we bleached his bones and packed them in a bag we found in his house. Then we cleaned the place spotless. Siesta left empty-handed, and I went through the balcony with the bag.

We met outside the block, and I got into her car. I was honestly baffled by what I did. I had never killed anyone like that or gotten rid of their bodies in such a way. It was all Seista's idea, and I went along with it.

I was afraid that Siesta might tell someone, but she assured me she wouldn't do anything like that. I have always been on good terms with her, and she was like a sister to me.

She dropped me at my house and went away. I don't know what she did with his bones, but I was happy that everything was taken care of. However, I was wrong.

The next day when I was on my way to school, her limo stopped in front of me, and she asked me to hop in. I again thanked her for the help and asked her not to tell anyone.

Instead, she threatened me that she would tell everyone. She black-mailed me and asked me to be her boyfriend, but I turned her down as I was… well, I was in love with you.

She said I was making a big mistake, which pissed me off. I told her she could do anything she wanted, and no one would believe her. However, she showed me the video of me flying.

If it was only that clip, I wouldn't have cared since anyone could edit, and no one would believe such a thing. But… I don't know when but she recorded me chopping his body.

That scared me. I couldn't risk getting caught. I couldn't leave mother and Zoe alone, but… I couldn't date her. The only girl I loved was you, so I told her the truth, and she changed her condition.

She asked me to date her for 2 weeks, and then she would delete the video. I had no other choice but to trust her. I thought two weeks would pass by in a blink, and everything would get to normal.

But… somehow, we ended up dating on the same day. I wanted to tell you everything, but I was afraid. I was a killer, and no girl would ever love or date a killer. I didn't want to lose you, so I kept it a secret.

To be honest, I didn't think much of it until Siesta demanded that she wanted to make out with me. For the record, that was basically my first time. I couldn't say no to her for obvious reasons.

And… that lasted for two weeks. I felt so stressed out and guilty for those two weeks that I couldn't look you in the face."

Victoria's eyes widened after hearing all that.

"Is that… is that why you never talked to me even after we started dating?"

Zach nodded in response.

"Is that why we never went or returned from school together?"

"Yeah. Siesta was always there to pick me up and drop me off. And we always made out in the car. But I swear I never went all the way with her. Nor did she ask me to."

"Then… I blamed you for nothing. I said so many mean things to you even when it wasn't your fault." She grabbed Zach's shoulders and shook him as she yelled, "Why did you keep this a secret from me?!"

"...."

"Why are you trying to take all the responsibility by yourself?! How many more things are you hiding?! How much pain are you enduring?!"

Zach placed his hands on Victoria's hands and said, "No more. I have told you everything. I wish I could tell you sooner. I was looking for a perfect time, and after our break and patch-up, I was… scared. I didn't want you to leave me again, so I waited until our relationship improved."

"It's fine. I am not angry. Even if you had cheated on me with your will, that all happened in the past." She kissed Zach on the lips and said with a gentle smile on her face: "We started a new relationship after we patched up."

"Yeah."

"You could have kept it a secret, and I would have never found out about it. But you still told me. I appreciate that, really."

She hugged him and continued, "Seriously, though. We have come a long way. We both were so bratty a few months ago, and now we have become mature."

"You think so? I think I am still bratty sometimes, and I can definitely act immaturely when needed. And it's not a bad thing. As long as we are happy and enjoying our life, we should be ourselves."

After that, they talked for a few minutes until Aria came to call them as the summit was about to start soon.
