Chapter 6: Jealousy

"Who had the bright idea to invite another man over here? Tell me about it, huh?" He screamed angrily.

Denise was terrified and shook violently. If she tells him who invited him, he'll hurt her father, and he'll probably hurt Richard as well.

She tried but failed to break free from his hold, so she kicked him in the crotch with her foot. He shouted, "Ahh, sh*t," and leaned against the wall, clutching his crotch. She then took advantage of the situation by opening the bathroom door and running up to her room, shutting the door, and locking the door.

More footsteps could be heard coming up the stairwell. She tucks herself under her bed. She was terrified, so she closed her eyes and began to cry.

"Are you all right, Princess? can you open the door?" her father yelled as he knocked on Denise's door.

Denise, on the other hand, simply closed her eyes tightly and pretended she didn't want to see any of them. She wants to tell how horrible Mike is. But every time she tries to tell them, Mike always interrupts her.

All of a sudden, she hears them all conversing with each other. That's when she heard Richard's voice.

"Denise? it's me, Richard, can I talk to you?" Denise, on the other hand, remained silent. "Ah okay, I'm gonna live now. I think you need some space of your own. If you are ready you can talk to me anytime and I'll see you in school tomorrow," He said and Denise hears all of their footsteps move downstairs, She then proceeded to her room's entrance. But before she opens it, she hears Mike say, "I know you can hear me my Princess, and tonight, Richard is going to pay for his debt for laying eyes and touches what's mine. So have a good night's sleep because this is the last time you'll see Richard; don't you want to say goodbye to your Little pumpkin crush for the last time?" Mike said lowly in a sarcastic way. Then, Denise heard him walk away too.

Denise muttered to herself, "Oh my God, I need to warn Richard, but I don't have his phone number." "Is he serious, he's going to kill someone because of me?" "Gosh, it's so frustrating."

"Denise was my Princess, and that jerk had no right to care for her. Anyone who tries to take her away from me will be killed." So, when Mike arrived at his house. He walked to his room and sat on his bed, trying to come up with a scheme to kill Richard. He never attempts to kill someone before, but he can do anything for Denise. Will, it's been said that love can drive you insane, and Mike was insanely in love with Denise.

He then took out his phone and dialed Ronnie, his criminal pal. Mike and Ronnie have been friends for a long time, and he needs his help in carrying out his plan to assassinate his rival.

"Hello?" Ronnie said. "Yes, it's me, Mike and I need your help, "He said to him. "All right, what type of help can I provide?" he asked.

Mike said coldly, "I want to kill someone that I can't wait to erase from this world," the phone went silent for a while. "Are you serious?" Ronnie asks incredulously. "Are you willing to help me or not?" He asked. "All right, when?" Ronnie replied, with a chuckle in his voice.

Richard will die tonight, and Mike will make him experience every bit of it, before making his death appear to be a suicide. Then, He instructed Ronnie, "Meet me tonight at 11 pm in the park in front of our school's church."

"Sure, and I've been working on a great cover-up for four weeks," Ronnie exclaimed. Then, Mike smiled and laughed. He can't wait to kill Richard.

Mike hung up after saying, "Alright, see you at 11 p.m." He got out of his bed and walked to his drawer, where he retrieved his Axe. Mike didn't care if Denise will hate him for the rest of her life as long as no one could take her away from him. Even if she isn't in love with him. He'll do anything to make her love him. The innocent Mike in her eyes is gone. Mike's true self has emerged, and the demon within him will seize complete control of him. He was tired of showing Denise mercy and acting like a saint boy. This is the true psycho he is.

~ 11 p.m ~

"Why are we meeting in the public?" As he opened his car door, Ronnie asked. "Well, first we have to kidnap this jerk, and then we'll kill him in an abandoned lot," Mike explained, and Ronnie simply agreed. When it comes to their possessions, Ronnie and Mike are the same. They don't like people taking what is theirs, which is why Ronnie's girlfriend is afraid of him.

So Mike hopped in Ronnie's car and drove over to Richard's place. Mike could feel the rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins, and he was ecstatic.

They first checked the front gate and windows to see whether anyone was awake; there were no lights on, implying that everyone had been sleeping.

It's the perfect moment. So, they got out of the car and headed to the house. "Did you hack this house system?" Mike asked, and Ronnie simply nodded and clicked his phone. "All right, I'll turn off the alarm," he muttered as he slipped his phone into his pocket.

"Mike! Come on, hurry up, you might be seen. Oh, my goodness, dude! You're a slug!" Ronnie expresses himself. Mike then followed him.

As they walked into Richard's room, he was already deeply asleep. Mike can't help but be enraged when he sees Richard since he recalls how he touched her girl earlier. "Did you think about it, Mike?" Ronnie questioned him again, this time in hushed whispers.

Richard awoke unexpectedly. Ronnie stifled his screams by closing his mouth. "This is what happens when you take what is mine," Mike said as he took the ax and directed it towards Richard's head. Ronnie exclaimed, "Dude, why did you knock him in the head? It won't look like a suicide asshole!" "Oh, I'm sorry, I can't control myself, okay?" Mike said while smiling. "Let's just clean it up. Don't leave any evidence."

Finally, his rival has died. Mike smiled as he glanced at Richard's lifeless body as if it were an art form for him. He went outside and waited for Ronnie, who was cleaning up the scene. "Denise is mine now," he said. Mike sat there thinking what he had done: he had murdered a guy out of jealously. Ronnie smiled and said, "Job did, now it's time to go home, Pal." Ronnie laughed and relaxed back in his seat.

Mike planned to settle down in town with Denise, marry her, and have a family with her. He planned to migrate to a location outside of their town.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Denise is startled by the sensation of someone kissing her on the neck. The voice said, "Good Morning, my Princess." Denise began to tremble when he realized it was Mike's voice. So she leaped from her bed and dashed to her door. Denise trembled as she said, "It can't be happening." She tried to open the door by twisting the knob, but it was locked and the door was jammed.

"You think I wouldn't lock the door, huh, I'm not that stupid my Princess," Mike chuckled feverishly. "Dad!!! Dad helps me, please!! Can someone hear me?!" Denise screamed as she slammed the door knock. "Are you done screaming baby girl?" Mike asked, smiling as he bit his lips and walked closer at her "Your Dad isn't home right now; he was on a business trip, and he asked me to look for you," Mike said. As he licked her earlobe, she moved closer to her a little more and he put his hand on her waist and whispered, "Do you want to do something fun?" His voice is filled with desire. But, Denise pushes him away. "Okay fine, pack your belongings immediately; we're leaving," Mike said in a serious tone.

Denise spat fiercely, "What?? No way! I'm not leaving with you Jerk!" "Watch your words, Princess, or I'll put something in it, do you want it?" he chuckled.

Denise is planning a way to get away from Mike. She isn't going to let this happen; she doesn't want to live with a lunatic. So, when she saw the windows open, she ran hurriedly and was about to jump when she was grabbed by someone pulling her in; as a result, Mike became enraged, and she threw her against the wall, causing her to hit her head hard. "Sh*t that hurts," she said as she tried to stand up but became dizzy, causing her to collapse.
