Braeden's POV

Seven days left.

I have exactly seven days left until I am fully prepared for the biggest moment of my life- the ultimate retribution against all that was against me and decided that I wasn't worthy enough to be a friend, a lover, a son, or anyone else.

And with the Independence Day gala ball coming up at Cartier Valley Academy, there will be PLENTY of fireworks going on once I am finished with everyone.

The past couple of days had not been easy for me since my daring escape from prison. But I wasn't going to stick it out and be anyone's bitch as I dropped the soap. I watched way too many prison dramas to know what happens at an all-guys prison to know what happens.

And not only that, I look hideous in stripes.

Oh, don't give me that bullshit, readers. If I was real, I slap you silly for saying that I deserve it.

Anywho, I made a quick detour back to my home while everyone was away and picked up a few items to prepare for my return back to Cartier Valley- a nice formal suit by Givenchy, my skincare products, my favorite Louboutins sneakers, and a little bit of vodka that I hid in Daddy's favorite flask that I stole before being shipped off.

Oh, yeah. I also stole his favorite Magnum pistol along with extra bullets as well as a sleek and sharp dagger that was custom-made by a friend of mine- the ball and handles covered in diamonds.

By then, I had everything ready to take my repose as quickly and silently as I left. By the time I left, no one would dare think that I had been there.

I was a mastermind of hiding in the shadows, after all.

And soon, there would be no more need of hiding after I get through. Wendell Harding and everyone who stood beside him would pay for their sins- including Logan if he too stands by that fucking freak! I really should have killed that boyfriend-stealing bastard at the funeral service.

But no matter.

As long as I look good at the Independence Day ball, I would make sure that the holiday would end with a bang!

It's a short chapter, I know, but we're getting closer and closer to the grand-finale! And boys and girls, you'll want to stick around because it's going to be very satisfying in so many ways!

For now, the next chapter is when we'll see our Wendell dealing with a case of the jitters and he'll need some advice and a little music from Dimash to help him out! Stay tuned and you'll see what I mean!
