Defy Me (Shatter Me, #5)

“Sit down,” he says, a violent, unguarded rage flashing in his eyes. Delalieu obeys. “How long?” I say again. “How long have you known her as Ella?” “I— I’ve”—Delalieu hesitates, looks around—“I’ve known Ella s-since she was a child,” he says finally.

Honesty get over it. Obvioulsy there is going to be people who knew about ella. No need to yell at poor delalieu.

When is your birthday?” Slowly, Aaron looks up at me. His face is blank even as he says, “April twenty-fourth.”

“I’m trying to save your life right now, so, actually, I expect a lot of things from you.” I’m breathing hard. “Wait. What?”

I knew nazeera wouldnt betray them.

I can’t look at her face anymore without feeling blind rage. I can’t even think her name without feeling a violent, potent, animalistic need to murder her with my bare hands. Evie Sommers is the worst kind of human being. A traitor to humanity. An unadulterated sociopath.

Are you going to be just like warner and kill your own parent? I support that if you are.

With one last tug, I rip her heart out of her body. Evie falls to the floor with a heavy thud, her eyes cold and glassy. I’m still holding my mother’s heart, watching it die in my hands,

Happy kill your parent day. Both you and warner did so.

“Quite alive, yes. Despite your best efforts to murder him.”

Never mind only one parent was successfully murdered.

“Apologies. Please step out of my way.” “As I said, I’m waiting for my wife. She has something she wants to say to you.”

Your wifes dead. You can heal anderson all you want but when a heart is taken out of a body there is no healing that.

And just as I’m trying to decide my next move, I hear a whisper at my ear. “Don’t scream,” she says. Nazeera.

Yaaaaaaassssssss. The comanders kids are working together. Woohooooo. And it is actually froghtening the comanders now.

stop, stunned, in my tracks. Kenji barrels into me. Kenji. Kenji is hugging me. Kenji is hugging me, and he’s uninjured. He’s perfect.

Yaaaaaay. Everyone is being reunited. Its just so touching.

“Right,” Aaron says, hesitating, “but you don’t actually love us both. That’s just a figure of speech, isn’t it?” It’s my turn to frown. “Kenji is my best friend,” I say. “I love him like a brother.” “But—” “I love you, too, princess,” Kenji says, a little too loudly. “And I appreciate you saying that.” Aaron mutters something under his breath that sounds suspiciously like, “Unwashed idiot.”

someones jealous.

“Then why were you so angry?” “I thought you were stupid for doing it here,” he says. “Right now. I didn’t want you to do something you would regret. That you’d both regret.” “Why would I regret proposing right now? This seems as good a time as any.” Kenji laughs, but somehow manages to keep his mouth closed.

Stupid why would being on a plane strike you as a good time to propose.

“You’ve had a long, difficult journey,” Castle says. “I want you to have a chance to get settled. Take a shower and eat some food. And then, I promise—we’ll give you all the answers you want.”

Just give them the answers now!!!!!

“We have no choice.” Nazeera’s voice rings out, sharp and clear. “We have to kill Evie.”

DOnt worry thats already taken care of.
