(Darius' POV)
My heart skipped a beat as soon as I saw her name on the screen.
"Ayra?" I answered quickly.
Her voice trembled. "Darius... I need you. Please come now. They... they said everything. Kyle and Sasha. They... they want to kill me."
I didn't even respond. I just hurriedly left the restaurant and rushed to the car, driving off at lightning speed.
Within minutes, I was at her place. She opened the door with shaky hands.
Her eyes were swollen, she looked like she had been crying for hours.
Without a word, she led me inside and pressed a recorder into my hand.
"Listen," she whispered, collapsing onto the couch like her body could no longer hold her soul.
I pressed play.
Sasha's voice came on first, laughing. "She was so easy to fool. Honestly, Kyle, Ayra believes every word you say."
Kyle chuckled in reply. "She thinks I love her. Can you imagine? That look on her face when I proposed? Classic."
