PAIN

CHAPTER 138... PAIN

'Dead?'

The way Timothy's heart sank to the pit of his stomach was like a huge stone being dropped into the lake from a high level... it sank immediately. For a moment, the room went silent, only Timothy's heartbeat penetrated through the sound of silence. Until a phone ringing shattered the walls of silence.

Tom started to cackle, making his brother turn to him, dazedly. He met Timothy's gaze with a triumphant smirk.

"You may want to take the call," Tom raised his eyebrows and smiled at Timothy before saying, "I bet it's done..." 

He paused for a moment before saying. "Do you still remember how I used to try to outrun you when we played? Or, how I tried to meet up with your constant A-grades in school?" Tom asked and then he smiled as 'tsked' loudly. "Well guess what? This time, I beat you... Without a single stress."
