Doomsday Revenge: Payback Time (Josie) novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231

But before she could make the cut, Cyrus’s hand snapped around her wrist. His grip was like iron. He’d caught her. Again.

“Josie, that’s enough June’s voice suddenly rang out from the back of the crowd. “We all know what this is. You’re just bitter because he doesn’t want you. You’re trying to destroy him because you can’t have him!”

Josie looked at her like she’d lost her mind. “What the hell are you talking about? Me, obsessed with him? Are you insane? Why would I ever fall for a damn Undead?”

June shoved through the crowd, her face twisted in a mask of fake agony. “I’m so sorry, Josie!” she cried out, sounding like her heart was breaking. “But Cyrus and I are truly in love. I know you’ve wanted him for a long time, but please… just let him go!”

Cyrus cocked an eyebrow, looking at June.

He didn’t need this girl to bail him out. Not even a little bit.

But the look on Josie’s face? It was pure gold. She looked like she’d just taken a massive bite of dog shit. It was hilarious, so he just went along with the lie.

He wanted to see exactly how pissed off she could get.

man.

Let’s be real–Cyrus had been a total girl–magnet lately. Everyone at the base had seen it.

It wouldn’t be a shocker if Josie had fallen for him too.

Seeing the crowd actually buy into this bullshit made Josie’s stomach flip. She was literally gagging. She’d rather stay single for the rest of her life than catch feelings for an Undead.

It was like a human trying to date a tiger or a goddamn leopard.

Jesus.

The thought alone gave her the

Cyrus watched the crowd grow, his eyes narrowing. He hated being a spectacle.

He needed to end this. Now.

Josie, you’re something else,” Cyrus said. “You learn fast. Too fast. If the world hadn’t gone to hell, I might’ve…”

“Save the bullshit,” Josie cut him off. “If the world hadn’t ended, I wouldn’t even know who the hell you were.”

“I might not take you down today, but don’t think for a second you can kill me!”

“Psychic superpowers are basically a cheat code–they’re two tiers stronger than any other ability at the same level. I’m not a Psychic, but I can still punch way above my weight class!”

“So, what’s it going to be?” Cyrus asked.

“I want you out. Leave the base.” Josie knew she wasn’t going to be able to expose him as an Undead today.

Fine. If she couldn’t out him, she’d
