“You went to him…” Huntsman repeated in shock like he was trying not to think about what was coming next. Like in his gut, he knew. “What did he do?”
Carly sobbed. A couple of the women moved to comfort her, but their men grabbed them and pulled them back.
“Carly,” Leo spoke softly as he held tight to a quietly crying Hadley. It was like we could all feel her pain. “You need to tell us so we can fix it.”
She’d spent years and years dealing with this shit, and finally, it was coming out. There was no more trying to act brave, trying to keep her children in a nice little bubble of protection. All of that meant nothing now because once it was out there, it was out there.
Tears slipped down her face, her breathing erratic as she tried to find the words. Finally, she took a deep breath, stood a little taller and lifted her chin. Like she wasn’t going to let him break her again. Like saying the words weren’t going to bring her to her knees. “His men… they raped me.”
Huntsman was the first to move, not caring he was obviously in a lot of pain. He moved in, grabbing her face, whispering words to her, that even though I couldn’t hear them, were sending shivers down my fucking spine.
The rest of the room was quiet
I could tell we were all doing the math.
If Meyah was five…
Denver…
Jesus Christ.
The rage built up inside.
I wanted my woman back.
But I also wanted her to have her revenge on this man who seemed to have single-handedly both created their family and then pulled it to fucking shreds.
“We need to get this plan sorted,” Optimus finally said after a few minutes. He turned to look at me. “We need to get Meyah back. But now, we also need to get Carly what she needs.”
Carly looked up in confusion, but Huntsman turned to me, his eyes blazing. “We need Isiah alive.”
I took a deep breath, running my fingers through my hair and going over the details in my mind. “Okay, let’s see what we can do.” I looked over to Hadley who I’d spoken to on the phone about a few details on the part of the old ladies. “Did you manage to get what we need?”
Hadley’s face instantly lit up with a smile, and she looked down the line at the boys. “Ten-four rubber ducky.”
“Optimus?” I questioned with a raised brow.
He nodded. “Should be here within a couple hours.”
“Good, let’s get her back.”
