“He worked for Umar before Hawk International existed,” Ada pushed out. She winced, blowing through gritted teeth beforecontinuing. “He always told us to be careful of who we got into bed with but he had no idea what was going on. He’s merely just on the outside. I… he knew about Rhys’ product but he was only-”
I held up my hand, trying to breathe through the anger that slowly taking over my brain. “So, your father is innocent of all of this. That makes all of this chaos primarily your and Liam’s fault.” She didn’t answer so I filled in the blanks. “You’re telling me that you were dragged into this life by Ernest and Umar and then pulled in your brothers? But you were what, in love with Owen, and couldn’t let him go despite him being just a toy in your plan?”
Ada still didn’t answer. I didn’t care how fucking terrified she was of Umar or Ernest or anyone else, none of what she did was okay.
With the easy questions done, I chose a different path. “And what the fuck was it about sticking Owen into Rhys’ life, huh? You knew how fucking abusive that man was and still used him to get what you needed.” My hand launched forward, grabbing her chin and yanking her toward me. She cried out as the chair scrapped across the floor. “Rhys was beaten and bruised. He was scared and alone in that house. He cried out for help during those family dinners and you turned a blind eye. For what? For a fucking program?”
“I thought-”
I squeezed her chin a little harder. “No. You don’t get to fucking talk. You don’t get to fucking explain yourself. That time has passed. I don’t care what was going through your head to think it was okay to use your fucking brother – but in my world, there’s no reason that would be acceptable. But it gives me every reason to enjoy the pain that’s about to be inflicted on you.”
“I never used Liam. He’s his own man,” she whispered, tears streaming down her face.
“And where is that fucker now?”
“I can’t get a hold of him. I think Umar might have gotten to him because I haven’t even gotten so much as a text and-” I tightened my hand, pushing through my own pain. Her eyes grew wide as she squirmed, frantic to get free. “Wait, no! I have-”
“What, information?”
“Yes! Umar and Ernest are on their way over here. They’re going to-”
I cackled, throwing my head back as I stood up and moved far enough away, out of range for the damage Gianni and Valentyn were going to cause. “We already know they’re coming. Our job was to hand you over, dead or alive. Umar told us he’d give extra points for style.” I grinned, “Which is Gia’s job. He’s quite the artist.”
“No! My child and-”
Valentyn finally spoke, “Ada, I know you’re trying to persuade us but you killed the light in your brother’s eyes, a piece of my family. You made this world a harder place to live in and threatened my son’s happiness. Every word out of your mouth sounds like lies to me. It’s my only rule – to protect my family and you broke it so many fucking times. So, we’re going to show you the pain we went through, the pain your brother went through, and if you were lucky, Gianni would let you die. However, I promised Rhys that you would see the inside of a cell because death would be too sweet of a punishment and your daughter needs to hear theentiretruth from you when she’s ready. Besides, Gianni’s brought all of his tools and he’s really excited to try them out.”
The bloodcurdling scream that tore from Ada’s throat warmed my dead-cold heart, my cock thickening in my pants. Shit, it had been a while since we did this and Owen hadn’t been nearly enough to satisfy the crazy between us three.
Blood spurted forward, covering Gianni’s face as turned toward us, shaking with excitement. God, he was a bloodthirsty bitch.
“I really like this one,” he exclaimed before picking up another one and returning to his masterpiece. Gianni and Valentyn alternated between their techniques, Ada’s sounds dying out as I leaned against the wall, enjoying the show. I wondered if Rhys would want a play-by-play or if he would meet us at the door and shower with us. Fuck, if he let me kiss him like this?
I wasn’t going to hide that I was a sick bastard. I just kind of hoped that Rhys was a bit of one too.
Chapter forty
VALENTYN
Cold. Wet. Pain.
I tried to move but the shock to my system had me screaming out. I couldn’t do anything. I could hardly breathe. We’d been at this shit for too long, our heads twisted on all wrong but we had been caught off guard. Ada hadn’t been trying to tell us that Umar and Ernest were coming for her. They had been trying to tell us thatthey were already here.
Fucking hell, I should have known that the two-faced bitch had a backup plan.
My fucking head felt like it was exploding and I couldn’t feel the rest of my body. I just knew that there was pain and blood. Darkness surrounded me as yelling and the sound of ‘police’ erupted in my ear. I didn’t even fucking know what was going on, just that my vision was tunneling and my family was gone.
I had failed them.
This was the fucking end.
Umar had the upper hand and I’d have to deal with the pain of losing everyone I loved.
