AN//: So I've been gone for a while and I'm sorry, I've had a bad case of Writer's Block, no matter what I write, I was lost. I haven't been inspired to write lately this book, I thought Y'all gave up on it, I sure did but it wasn't the answer, I came to the realization that I have to see it through, so I'll do my best. 

......

Michael's real identity is Jack Hyde, who met Christian when they were kids, Christian was indirectly responsible for Michael's sister's death. Where will this story take us?

Michael POV:

"So what happens now?", asked Josh.

"Bob", I say.

"Bob?", asked Anna.

"Bob knows I'm alive", I say as I gritted my teeth.

"What? How, I thought you got rid of loose ends!", says Josh. 

"He was part of the team remember,  my end goal, Bob figured it out, he's dangerous", I say. 

"What do we do?", asked Anna. 

"Bob has a charity gala here tonight, you didn't think I chose this hotel because I spent my honeymoon here did you?", I asked. 

"You didn't?", asked Josh.

"No, this is the finest hotel in all of Greece, I confirmed earlier that Bob was staying here", I say as I poured out some wine.

"Ah, so that's where you were this morning", says Anna.

"What do we do?", asked Josh.

"We kill him", I say as I hand them a glass of wine.

"More death", says Anna as she sighed.

"Bob stands in our way of true freedom. After we kill him, it will be home free, this is the final step", I say. 

"Is this really what you want Michael?", asked Josh.

"It is, it's what I've been working towards, Christian must pay for what he did to my sister, even indirectly, he killed her and now he lost his one true love, there's nothing that hurts more than that, emotional pain has the deepest scar", I say. 

"How do we kill Bob?", asked Anna.

"After the gala, we'll be waiting for him in his room", I say.

"It's that simple? Guards will be guarding his door", says Anna.

"I used the master key earlier and unlocked the window, preparations have already been made to escape through the window and unto the roof and back to our suite", I say.

"Will things really go so smoothly?", asked Josh.

"You worry too much Josh, things will go swimmingly", I smile.

......

An so,  the night of the gala concluded. We were just but one step away from the true freedom we seek. Anna stayed in our suite to keep an eye on Liam as Josh and I entered Bob's suite through the window. We waited in the stand in closet for Bob's arrival. We waited and waited until the door finally opened. This was it, this was the moment, after this I'm free, the door finally opened but it wasn't Bob that walked through, it was....

"Christian", I whispered.

"What is he doing here?", whispered Josh. 

"He's supposed to be in mourning", I whisper back. 

............

"Did you find your phone, Mr. Grey?", says Taylor as he walked in. 

"Yeah, it was right on the table where I left it, it feels so strange being back here", says Christian as he sighed.

"Well you showed Bob your support and that's done, shall we head home?", asked Taylor.

"Yeah, let's go", says Christian as he exited the room as he locked it. 

.........

"It wasn't Bob?", I say as we exited the closet.

"So much for your plan", says Josh as he sighed. 

"Let's go, we need to rethink our strategy", I say as we headed to the window. 

The door then unlocked as the knob started turning. 

"Crap! Into the bedroom", I say as me Josh and I darted into the bedroom. 

The door then opened and closed then locked.

"Someone is here!", whispered Josh.

I then peered out as I see Bob taking off his tie.

"It's Bob", I whisper.

"Plans still on then", says Josh.

.....

We then crept up behind Bob as he sighed.

"So you've finally come huh?", asked Bob as he turned around.

"So you knew?", I whispered. 

"I've always known but you knew that", says Bob as he put his phone down.

I then pulled out a knife as Josh pulled out a gun.

"A gun? Really? The moment you fire that thing, the guards at the door will run in and we all would be dead", says Bob.

"Gag him", I whisper to Josh.

"You know, you'll never get away with it this time right?", says Bob.

"I already have Bob", I say.

"Drop this crap and go back home to Christian, he misses you", says Bob. 

"Shut up!", I say as Josh covered his mouth as he mumbled.

"Alright, let do this", I say as I pulled out the knife and Josh looked away.

.........

The deed was done and we were home free, we headed back to the apartment through the window to find Anna asleep on the couch. 

"Wake up!", I say to her as she jumped up.

"Is it done?", she says rubbing her eyes.

"It's done", says Josh as he sighed. 

"You're supposed to be watching Liam, not sleeping", I say scolding her. 

"I'll go check on him", says Josh as he put his gun on the table and left.

"No more killing", says Anna.

"That all depends on Liam", I say.

"Do not kill him Michael", warned Anna.

"Have you grown attached to him?", I ask. 

"It's not that, I mean he's been through a lot", says Anna.

"Now's not the time to grow a conscience Anna", I say as Josh came back.

"Anna", says Josh as he smiled.

"What is it?". asked Anna.

"Where is Liam?", he asked as my eyes widen.

"What do you mean where is Liam?!", I say as I gulped.

"He's not in this room", says Josh as Anna ran into the room to check.

"He was right there", says Anna as she started shaking.

"You mean he was right there until you fell asleep?", I say. 

"I don't understand, how could he have possibly left", says Anna as I checked my pocket.

"The room key", I say as I looked at Anna.

"Where is it?", asked Josh.

"I gave Anna to keep it when she went downstairs", I say as I give her the death stare.

"He's gone! We have to find him!", I say as someone started banging on the door.

"Police!! Open up!", they yelled. 

"Fuck!", I say as I grab the gun. 

"Shit! We've been caught!", says Josh.

"Open the door now!", they yelled. 

"Is this how it's going to end!", asked Josh.

"No, I've worked too hard for this", I say as I raise the gun up.

"You can't just shoot the police, they both have guns", says Josh.

"It's not the police I'll be shooting", I say as I face the gun to Anna.

"Michael what the fuck!", says Anna.

"I'm sorry Anna but this is the only option", I say as I press the trigger.

The gunshot was heard throughout the entire hotel as Anna falls to the ground.

"What the hell did you just do!?", yelled Josh as the police broke the door down.

"I just saved our lives", I say as the gun drops to the floor. 

.......
