My Father had pulled some strings to secure my position, but no one fucking knows shit. Unless Moonshine found out.
“Can you fuck off?” I grunt and move to stand next to Ares. “Where have you guys been?”
“I should be asking you that,” Ares mutters while his narrowed eyes go from me to Scarlett. “Never warned us we’re making alliances with losers tonight.”
“L-Losers?!” Scarlett snarls. “I was going easy on that cunt, and you think she has fucking skills!”
“Watch it,” Ares growls. “You don’t address our Queen that way.”
“Queen one minute, Maiden the next,” Scarlett snaps and flicks a bunch of her hair over her shoulder. “Make up your damn minds, or is it your satisfied cocks talking?”
“Guess you’ve forgotten to be more tight-lipped,” Ares says with a scowl. “We should fix that.”
Scarlett frowns and narrows her eyes back at Ares.
“For someone who isn’t the leader of the Ruthless Kings, you sure are loud. Why don’t you shut the fuck up and tame that cocky attitude of yours? A pretty face isn’t going to get you shit in this society. Take it from me.”
“I could destroy you,” Ares reminds.
“No. Your ‘older brother’ playing stupid games can destroy me,” she dares to bring up and smirks. “You’re only a shiny prosthetic attachment to your family’s empire. Don’t blame them. You’re pretty to look at, but you’d never be able to shoot a bullet in anyone’s head to protect what you never fought for.”
“You stupid slut of a c?—”
“Ares, enough,” I grunt, wishing this would end.
“Can you stop fucking defending this bitch?” Ares snaps at me unexpectedly.
“I’m not defending her.”
“Fucking bullshit. You have to be fucking her still since all she’s been is a fucking puppy following you along!” Ares barks at me. “Might as well say fuck the contract and go make her your Ruthless Queen.”
“Are you fucking drunk?” I ask because there’s no way in hell this man has the balls to argue with me right now.
“I wish I was! Then, I’d have the balls to tell you to stay away from that cheating bitch that was more interested in fucking Zander under your nose and was using you as fucking bait!”
Not Zander bullshit again…
“She’s not into Zander,” I argue, looking back to Scarlett, only to notice how she’s blushing. “Right, Scarlett.”
“Y-Yeah.” She laughs nervously for added measure, but her lack of eye contact makes a sense of dread trickle through me.
Moonshine is laughing. Full-blown laughter that catches a few attentions.
“Now, this is some golden entertainment,” he announces. “Wow. You’re really as blind and stupid as your father emphasizes behind your back. No wonder why he’s so hesitant to give his empire to you.”
“Shut the fuck up,” I shout back at him. “You don’t know shit about my father’s decisions.”
“I know more than enough just by this foolishness in front of me!” He couldn’t sound more appeased by this predicament. “You’re still smitten with your ex, who complains about you being unable to move on because of your Mommy abandonment issues, while your father is mocking you for accepting Prescott as your Maiden. What does she possibly bring to the table aside from looking fuckable?”
“Talk about her in that dismissive way again, Moonshine, and you’ll fucking regret it,” Ares warns.
“Again, you can’t do shit. Your own brother can’t do a thing but bow his head to the one that pays him better. You’re defending a woman who’s only with you lot of weak, ‘ruthless’ fuckers because she has a debt to be paid. A debt from the man who fucking sold her and is laughing to the bank, knowing how fucked up this arrangement is!” Moonshine laughs then as he slaps at his chest.
As if this is the funniest shit he’s ever heard.
“Between the three of you, the only one who makes anyone quake and second guess their decisions is Benedict, who hasn’t spoken a single word this whole while,” Moonshine declares and gestures to Scarlett. “Same mother fucker the Barbieri Empire has been fighting to get their arranged marriages approved.”
“What?” Ares and I speak at the same time.
