I can’t leave here with nothing though.
I lower the gun and look her over. Now her eyes show a different panic as she realizes what I’m doing.
It’s like she can’t believe it. I can’t either. I can’t believe my rage isn’t emptying a round of bullets in Mark’s gut.
“Salvatore!” I call out, and Salvatore comes through the door.
He freezes when he sees them at my feet.
“Vin,” he says my name tentatively.
“Take her to the house,” I order him like he’s my servant. He might be second in command to me, but he’s not my slave.
He won’t question me here though. He wouldn’t in front of people like this. The look he gives me is enough, but he knows not to fuck with me.
Mark starts shouting the minute Salvatore takes Ava.
“What are you going to do to him!” Ava screams. It mingles with Mark’s agony-filled shouts. “Wait, no,” she cries, pulling against Salvatore’s arm.
She may be ballsy, but her petite frame is no match for anybody.
“Get her out of here,” I tell Salvatore.
“No!” she cries.
“Look, lady, you better shut the fuck up, or your old man gets it now.”
That silences her, but she’s still looking at me.
“Come on, doll,” Salvatore says and has to practically lift her up to get her to go with him.
She’s crying as she goes, but I can’t worry about that.
I have to think about what I’m doing. This is the first thing to truly test me in years, and it’s a big test.
I look back to Mark as he shakes and cries so hard my own hand shakes.
What the hell am I going to do with this fucking prick? And his daughter… what am I going to do with her too?
Am I seriously going to accept her offer?
Chapter Three
Ava
I’m taken away from the place blindfolded. We drive in silence, or rather as silent as I can be while I sob.
What just happened?
What really happened tonight?
Is it real or a nightmare?
Dad… how could he have gotten himself into so much trouble? The drug use was just the tip of the iceberg. I just got the visual of so much more.
And… what did I agree to?
What did I offer?
