“They will, baby. I promise you, not one of them responsible will make it out alive. I need you to be okay first.” His warm palms run up and down my arms.

I grit my teeth. “I won’t be. Not until they die for this. Starting with my father.”

He tilts his head and his eyebrows knit.

“I saw your phone, Frankie. I know Dad hasn’t paid a single cent towards her treatment. You’re covering it. Where the hell is his money going?”

He sighs softly, pulling me into an embrace.

“He was never the man you thought he was, Zara. I’m so fucking sorry,” he whispers.

“What do you mean?” I ask, looking up at him.

“He’s been having an affair. He used the money to buy properties from what we can see so far. One of which his mistress lives in.”

“Who the hell is she?” I try to free myself from Frankie’s hold, but he only tightens it.

“We are looking into it. She isn’t our priority.”

My whole body trembles. “I want him gone, Frankie. I need him to pay for this.”

I feel his hand under my chin, guiding my gaze to meet his intense eyes.

“And I will deliver him to you, Zara. I will stop at nothing to end this, if that is what you want right now?”

“I do,” I say, without hesitation.

Sitting around here won’t fix anything. I can never get our baby back, but I can send the assholes down to hell that did this.

“I fucking love you, Zara. So much.” He tucks my hair behind my ears, stroking my cheek.

“Together, we can take these fuckers down.” A fire dances behind his eyes, fueling me further. If I only get to do one more thing in life, I will be happy knowing it is finishing them.

For the girls they trafficked, for my baby, for Keller, Kai and everyone else they’ve hurt.

It ends now.

“How do you suggest we get to my dad? I want to be there. I want to make him feel my pain, Frankie.”

“You will, angel. I’ll make sure of it. We do this, together.”He pauses. “I think it’s about time we went and spoke to our friend Alex, don’t you?” he says with a smirk.

“I do.”

FRANKIE

The guys have all come down for our meeting. If we end this, we do it together. Killing Romano has been on the forefront of my mind for ten years. Yet, I can’t concentrate on anything else except this gaping hole in my chest, which only fuels my hatred further.

“You okay, boss?” Jax asks, handing me a coffee.

“Fine. You?”

The dark circles under his eyes, the messy hair and outright misery that seeps off of him tells me he’s not.

“I’m fucking lost.”

I wrap an arm around his shoulders, pulling him against my side.
