“Mother!” Hamish snarled before I could reach her, he gripped her arm and pointed at my house.
“See that house? That belongs to Katerina. She is no whore and if I hear you call her that again, I will remove you from my house.” He said with such calmness you never would have guessed he was furious except for his eyes.
“I need to speak to you. Alone.” She said and Hamish glanced at me before he nodded. They walked toward his house until we couldn’t hear, but from the animated way she moved, I could tell what the conversation was about.
“I’m going to do a quick check of the house,” Leo said. He gave me a pointed stare and I sighed.
“I’ll behave,” I muttered and he didn’t look convinced.
I watched him leave before turning to Claudia who smiled sweetly.
“I don’t care who you are, but Hamish is mine. That man will marry me or his brother will go to prison.” She said and I laughed at her, earning a frown.
“You are a silly girl if you think you can hold a man against his will through marriage.” I shook my head as I watched Hamish argue with his mother.
“I know how to control a man and I will very much enjoy controlling Hamish. Did you know that he was the reason his father died? Hamish got himself messed up in drugs and gang turf wars. His brother will be devastated to find out.” She said with a shake of her head and a fake pout.
“You are a nasty piece of work and deserve everything coming to you. But Hamish still won’t marry you. He is going to talk to his brother.” I added, enjoying the look of surprise on her face before it morphed into pure rage.
“I will have him. If he continues to refuse, I have already prepared a statement that my father will release to the press that Hamish Proffitt raped me. His image and business will be ruinedand end up in prison right along with his brother.” She said with that venomous smile.
I stared at her, shocked. I had seen countless women in my line of work who had truly been victimized and I knew I was one of the lucky ones to escape that fate.
Women all over the world experienced this every day and could never get justice, too afraid to speak out or never believed if they did.
Women died after speaking out or experiencing it over and over until they couldn’t take it anymore and this fucking bitch was standing here in her designer clothes and perfectly manicured hands telling me she was going to falsely accuse a man who was a good man, a hard-working man and one who I loved, of rape.
I didn’t think, I just reacted and punched the bitch square in the nose.
“OW! WHAT THE FUCK!” She screeched as she cupped her face.
I reached for my knife, gripping her hair and yanking her head back, pressing the knife to her cheek.
Her eyes were wide as she stared at me, blood dripping from her now broken nose.
“Listen well, little bitch. My name is Katerina Volkova.” I purred and her eyes widened.
“Ahh. So you do know me. I should cut out your eyes for even looking at a man like Hamish and thinking you could have him. I should cut out your tongue for uttering such disgraceful words that prove you are no woman; you are nothing but a fucking cunt on legs.” I caressed her skin with the knife as I heard Hamish and his mother rushing over.
“But I won’t do any of those things right now because we are in public, and I promised Hamish and Leo I would behave. But know this, if you even so much as think about doing the thingsyou said to me, I will climb into your bedroom in the dead of night and take your pretty little eyes and tongue and mount them on my wall as a trophy.” I laughed softly, leaning down to kiss her cheek.
“Don’t worry. I won’t kill you though. I want you to spend the rest of your life blind and unable to speak, able to hear the disgusted and horrified gasps of all those people in that little elite world you call home every time they see you.” I nicked the skin on her cheek, deep enough that I knew it would scar.
“A reminder. So every time you look in the mirror, you will remember my promise.” I crooned before I let her go.
She stumbled forward, falling to her knees where Hamish’s mother rushed to her, screeching about an ambulance and to arrest me.
“Love. I don’t know what she said, but I think this is the opposite of not drawing attention.” Hamish said with a smile, and I wiped my knife on my pants before I slid it back into the sheath on my thigh.
“She was going to do things to you that I couldn’t let happen. The marriage won’t happen, at least from her.” I said before I turned and walked toward the house where Leo was standing at the door with an exasperated expression.
“YOU MONSTEROUS WHORE!” Hamish’s mother shouted at me from the ground where she was kneeling with Claudia.
I grinned at her and snapped my teeth a couple of times like a dog biting the air.
“Watch out. I might come for you next.” I said with a laugh as I walked away.
“HAMISH! DON’T YOU DARE FOLLOW HER!” She shouted and I didn’t stop to look back. I knew he would follow.
