I enter the room to see Maya has already killed Stephan, but she's struggling with Lawrence over a gun. I walk up behind him, pushing the barrel of the gun into the back of his head as I pull the trigger. Blood and tissue fly at my face and I close my eyes. I just killed two men and I'm perfectly calm. Maya dropped down when she saw my intent.
“Ana, are you okay?” Maya’s frantic words break through the fog. She looks at me with concern in her eyes.
“Yes. I think my ex-husband is dead, I shot him in the nuts.”
She starts laughing, and so do I.
Just then we hear a commotion in the front. I raise the gun, ready to kill again. Maya stands next to me holding her ribs with one hand while her other hand steadies the gun Lawrence had, and aims it toward the bedroom door.
“Ana, where the ever loving fuck are you?” I hear Joshua yell from the other room.
“I'm in here!” I yell back and lower my gun.
He walks in, sees us with smiles on our faces, and frowns but walks directly to me. He rips his shirt off and uses it to wipe the blood and brain matter from me as best as he can.
“Angel, Jesus what the bloody hell.” He continues to clean me up, then pulls me in his arms and takes the gun from my hands. I flinch when his hands rub my back. “Angel, please tell me you're okay. Why are you laughing?” He pulls back and takes in my appearance. “I'll kill him if he isn't dead already.” He’s staring at his bloody palms. He turns to Derek who slips his shirt off and hands it to Joshua who tries to slip it over my head.
“No, I’ll get blood all over it.” I pull back.
“I don’t give a fuck. Why are you laughing?” He asks again as he slips the shirt on me.
“I just shot my ex-husband in the ball bag and another man in the head. I'm good.”
Duncan comes barreling in and seeing Maya in her condition, he starts checking her over.
“I'm okay, Big Guy, this is his blood.” She points to Stephan, whose head is facing the wrong direction and blood trickles from a wound in his neck where my knife is buried. “I think my ribs are bruised again. That asshole kicked me in them while I was down.”
“Bloody hell, baby, you tried to rip his head off.”
“I had to stop him, they wanted to rape me. I heard the asshole beating on Ana and was worried she wouldn't be able to shoot him. Plus, they said someone was on their way to pick us up and take us to Sir.” Both guys look at me, and I hear the tremors in Maya's voice, they're worried about me.
“It was fine, I was ready to kill him or die trying.”
Joshua holds me tighter to him, making me flinch again.
“We need to get your back checked. You will probably need stitches,” Joshua says as he kisses my forehead.
“Ana, come here,” Ian yells from the hall where I left Jonathan.
I'm not sure I want to see Jonathan again, but with Joshua, I can do this. We all walk out of the room to the hall where Jonathan is moaning and groaning on the floor, begging for an ambulance, and me. He spots me at Joshua's side.
“Listen, you…fat…little cunt.” His hands clutch at his groin as blood seeps between his fingers. He tries to take a big breath. “I’ll survive this.” He clenches his teeth with the pain. “But you won't survive when th-th-the man I work f-fo-for comes after you. He k-k-kill-killed your mother.” Blood dribbles from his lips. “An-and that bitch’s parents.” He points at Maya. “He'll kill you b-b-both when he gets what h-he wants. His friend should b-be here any minute now.” He coughs up blood; he's dying.
Joshua stiffens as I pull out of his embrace, but he lets me go. I walk to Jonathan and hover close.
“You won't survive, and if you somehow did, you'll never have a working cock again. Also, I'm not fat, and you're nothing but a fucktard.” I act like I'm going to kick him. I must be convincing because the whole group rushes to me. Duncan pulls me away as I yell, “Now you see how it feels to fear someone stronger. Go to hell!”
In the same moment, Joshua steps in front of me, blocking Jonathan’s view of me, and retrieves a long knife from a pouch along his belt at his back. He spins it and slams it into the floor right by Jonathan’s head.
“She is mine, and you will never speak to or talk about her again. I will skin you alive and make you eat whatever is left of your cock after this.” Jonathan coughs up blood again as Joshua steps back. “You are not worth my time. You’re finally going to hell where you belong.” He yanks the knife from the floor and slips it back into its sheath.
I turn to Joshua. “Honey, take me away from here. Is Isabella safe?”
“Yes, Angel.” We go to walk out, making it to the exit before I realize what I just did. I start crying and feel faint. “Come here, Angel,”
Joshua pulls me up into his arms, being careful of my back, and carries me out to the waiting SUV. We head for a hotel where Patrice and Michael are waiting with Isabella. I go to grab for her but Joshua steps between us.
“Angel we need to get you looked at first. She’s okay,” Joshua whispers into my ear as he carries me into the bedroom, where a man I don’t recognize is waiting. “Thank you for coming so quickly, my partner Maya will need to be looked at too.”
