I’m Someone Else

Thomas eyed Nate icily. He remained in his spot as he grabbed one of Nate’s wrists with ease. His eyes narrowed. “Was it this hand? The one you used to touch my sister?”

To Nate, Thomas sounded like a demon who called out to him from behind the gates of hell. Every word struck fear into his soul.

The men that Nate brought with him cowered weakly as they stared at Thomas as if he were the devil incarnate. They couldn’t even make a sound.

Crack!

The very next second, the sound of cracking bones rang out—Thomas had broken Nate’s arm. His blood gushed out as the bone jutted out through the skin.

Clang!

The dagger fell to the ground, and the sound struck fear in everyone’s hearts.

Thomas ignored Nate, who was writhing on the ground and screaming in agony, and he continued walking forward.

“Let’s forget about it, Thomas!” Chloe was a little terrified as well. She knew the status Nate had in Irieson. He was one of the more vicious ones too. He had to be to run such a large loan shark syndicate in town. Anyone who pissed him off would probably not live to tell the tale.

“We can’t forget about it! I don’t care who he hurts, but I won’t let him hurt you!”

Thomas’ eyes were as cold as ice. Even the room seemed to grow a lot colder with his presence.

Right now, Thomas seemed to be under some kind of spell. He couldn’t think of anything else except to give this Nate fellow a taste of his own medicine!

Thomas didn’t have anyone he was close to anymore!

Once upon a time, the only person that kept him going was his ex-girlfriend, Felice, but now, even she had betrayed him.

The only person in this entire world that he could consider family now was Chloe!

Chloe was Zachary’s little sister, which meant that she was his little sister too!

Anyone who hurts her must pay! If not with their life, then with their blood!

Even the humiliation that he suffered at Walt and Felice’s hands didn’t enrage Thomas as much as he was now. It was one thing to disrespect him, but he wasn’t about to let anyone disrespect his sister!
