"If those men could shoot for shit then you would be dead. You think you were supposed to survive? They were supposed to shoot both you and your father. Damn idiots couldn't even shoot a kid." Lilian spat in my face, her anger dripping out of her like a drooling dog.
Rage instantly rose to a high, burying the shock to nothing. "The fuck are you hissing about you snake?" My raspy voice seethed with acidic rage.
"You think it was a coincidence that your father got caught in a drive-by?" The unhinged grin on her face with the twisted glint in her eyes told me enough.
"YOU BITCH! I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU!" The pain of my restraints digging into me, along with the warmth of my blood dripping down my bare skin, didn't come close to registering in my mind as I thrashed and struggled vehemently in the chair they kept me bound to.
In a split second, my sharp eyes snapped to my smug mother. "He was your fucking husband! He loved you! He gave you everything!" My father was the one who got her out of the gutters; she got lucky and married rich. Unlike many others I've seen, my father was a caring man who loved his wife. He treated her so right and doted on me like the most precious thing in the world.
I shouldn't be taken aback by how callous my mother was; she was never the warmest person or a decent mother, but still, maybe a part of me just hoped for something. "He wouldn't give me more. He could have been so much more, he could have been the Dragon Head, but no. No, he couldn't do that to his friend, his longtime buddy. He wanted to give up the triad life for the simple life, all that money and luxury, gone. At least his life was worth something dead."
"I'm going to drown you in your own blood after I put some holes in you." I seethed with a harsh tug of my arms, wincing when I felt the stretch in my shoulders.
"The hell you shipping me off to China for with this fat pig?" Not like he'd get some alliance with them, and no offense to myself, but there were many better girls out there.
"He paid for you, simple as that. He wants a dog, so I'm giving him one." My aunt shrugged her shoulders with an unbothered smile. "You'll break eventually, and he'll have a good warm body to use whenever he pleases along with a good weapon against his enemies. The Beast's reputation is far beyond California, and he wants that power and fear."
My eyes shifted over to him when he shifted and moved toward me with a sick smile on his face. "I swear, if you dare lay a single breath on me, I'll fucking gut you with my bare hands and feed you your innards and choke you with your own intestines." A bit much? Maybe, but pigs like him deserved it.
His hand shot out and grabbed at my collar, twisting it in his grubby hand until my oxygen cut off. "You wear a collar like a bitch, so you will be one." Cold metal sheers slipped between my neck and the leather collar.
"Don't you fucking dare." I seethed through gritted teeth, glaring at him with as much threat as possible.
Snip!
The pressure against my windpipe absolved in an instant, but my neck became naked for a split second before a clunky shock collar constricted it. "Fuck you! Give that ba—ah!" My scream of pain choked out from the shock of the collar.
"You'll get a pretty collar again once you learn to behave, and once you are broken as you should be." The man grinned in my face as he gripped it in his sweaty hand.
"Now, who's your master?" His grip tightened to where I could feel it in my bones—no doubt I'd have bruises.
"Stepa—ah!" Another shock cut me off. "I'd rather obey a turd than you." I spat with narrowed eyes.
"Why you little—"
Splatter!
A disgusted scowl crossed my face when the man's headless body slumped over onto me after his brains—surprised he had any—exploded all over me. "I'm gonna hurl." I bit out with flat sarcasm.
"Hold a gun to her head." Lilian ushered the guard next to me who obeyed without hesitation.
Before he could draw his gun, his head ceased to exist with a headshot. Then not even a hair of a second later, the other guard next to me dropped—headless—as well.
A hopeful smile widened on my lips as I looked out the shattered window ahead of me. "Daddy!" The sight of Stepan's dirty blonde hair had me jumping in my seat.
Stepan always hated his hair, but I loved it for all the reasons he despised it. I loved how he stood out against the others—and how easily it was to spot him—with the shaded difference; he hated it because he didn't look like his brothers, which brought on his father's wrath because he was convinced for the longest time that their mother had an affair, hence Stepan's difference—their mother had blonde hair.
Honestly, his father sounded like a real piece of work who I would've loved to get my hands on. Besides fucking up all his children majorly, he killed his own wife and basically sentenced his own daughter to death with an arranged marriage to a lunatic. I had no idea why Stepan and his brother had such an aversion to arranged marriages until he told me the story about his little sister; she got carted off to some bratva boss in Russia and never returned alive.
Well, it was good to know our own children will never suffer such a fate if we ever have any. I never thought I wanted children in my life, given my upbringing—also, the world was just a shitty ass place. I didn't know how to be a mother, and not like I watched home videos growing up or observed good mothering. Yet, whenever I thought about the future with Stepan, somehow, children always popped in, whether I wanted them or not. It was beyond bizarre at first since neither of us touched on the subject matter at all.
Maybe it was some stupid biological need, I don't know. All I knew was that I wanted children with Stepan. Okay, maybe now right now, now, but in a year-ish…? I also banked on the idea of seeing how Angel's kids were before making a firm decision. As much as I wanted to spread my legs and beg Stepan to knock me up, maybe after interacting with Angel's babies once they were here would quickly change that idea.
Oh well, I could think about cute, blonde babies later when I wasn't—
"FUCK!"
She fucking stabbed me!
