“How many of your guys have infiltrated my team?” I need to know. One is already too many, but I need to be prepared if there’s more than one. When he doesn’t answer right away, I turn the drill back on. Fear dances in his eyes. Did he piss himself? The smell confirms it.
“O-one.” I think he may have lost consciousness again, so I slap him hard on his face.
“Who and why?”
“S-Shaan. He is F-Fusco’s s-son.” Mother fucker. I didn’t see that coming. I hear Scott curse under his breath as he comes closer.
“Do you know the woman you stabbed and were planning to traffic?” Andrea shakes his head. “That’s my sister. I’d happily kill you, but I’ll give the privilege to my brother here.”
Let me have this privilege? Like he had any choice in the matter. The piece of shit touched her, and for that, he’ll die by my hand. Deciding I’ve had enough of these little games and have the answers I wanted, I pull out my gun and shoot him right in between the eyes.
The sound of a gasp hangs heavy in the air as we turn to face the unexpected guest.
Not a soul knows about the existence of this room except my da’, who would not even bat an eye at the sight of me taking someone’s life.
Blakely’s eyes are focused intently on us as if studying our every move.
“Shit.” Now it’s Scott’s turn to curse.
Chapter 19
Blakely
“What is happening here? What am I looking at?” I ask, confused by the scene in front of me.
“What are you doing here? You shouldn’t be here,” says Aidan. Blood is covering him from head to toe.
“How did you find this place?” My brother’s concern is evident from the way he speaks. I can’t see their faces, but their postures are tense.
I have been looking for Aidan all day. He didn’t answer any of my calls or my text messages. I had no other option but to reach out to Caleb. I had heard of this place before, but I never thought I would stumble upon the two of them standing over a dead body. I received some important information from Riccardo, and I needed to speak to him. It couldn’t wait. So I put on my big girl pants and drove here.
“I… Riccardo called. I know who is working with the Snakes.” I’m looking at the corpse lying down on the floor, but I feel nothing. No emotion.
“We know. Fusco and Shaan,” Aidan says while gritting his teeth.
“Who is he?” I ask, pointing at the guy sprawled out on the ground. Two of his fingers are on the floor next to him, blood is covering his body, and a bullet has been shot directly between his eyes.
As Aidan walks towards me, Scott’s eyes are fixed on my face, trying to read my emotions. You’re going to be disappointed, brother, if you think I’ll run out of this room. My back is pressed against the table situated at the back of the room, and my attention is focused on the tools arranged atop it. Aidan stands a few feet away from me, looking uncertain about whether or not he should approach.
“Is that chocolate on your mask?” I ask Scott.
Who would eat chocolate while torturing someone?
“I… Aye, it is. Don’t judge me. I was hungry.” A smile crosses my face as I shake my head in amusement. “Okay, kids, I think that’s my cue to leave.” He takes a moment to hesitate before removing his mask and leaning in to place a gentle kiss on my cheek.
Aidan and I are the only ones left in the room, and the overpowering scent of blood and metal lingers in the air. He looks like a battle-hardened warrior, his mask and body smeared with the crimson blood of his enemies. His glare is conflicted, not knowing how to react. So I speak first.
“Who was he?” I can feel the intensity of his gaze on me.
“The guy that stabbed you.” What?
“Excuse me, what? How did you find him?” He moves in slowly like a snake preparing to strike. I can detect the scent of sandalwood and blood emanating from him.
“I stalked him. Watched his every move for the past few days. Did you think I would let him live after what he did to you?” No, I didn’t think he would, but I didn’t think he would catch him either.
“I’m not a good man, Blakely. You can rest assured that I will not allow anyone to harm you in any way, and if they do, they will not live to see another day once I find them.” I can feel my chest heaving as my breathing begins to quicken.
Why is this so hot?
