Chapter 39
Evan
The guy spurts blood, which covers my suit jacket.
Good.
I see my brother beating the guy who’s attacking Meg into a pulp.
Also good.
Luckily, we got here just in time to save her—and to stop Paul from killing the dude.
Maybe.
As far as I’m concerned, he can die. But of course, that won’t be good for our permanent records. I can’t have my brother going to jail forever.
And so I do all I can to pull Paul from his moment with the guy. I pull him off, and he falls to the ground, face crazy with rage, hands covered in blood.
“It’s okay, Paul, we’ve got him. You’ve got him. You did it.”
He’s breathing heavily, and he spits blood out of his mouth.
I see Matt and Ian attending to Meg before making sure the attacker’s done for. They get a couple of final punches in, and when they’re satisfied, they back away from the bloodied heap of a man, gesturing for Meg to follow.
She scrambles to her feet, and her torn silver dress exposes every limb that’s battered and bruised. She looks like a mess. She looks absolutely shattered.
“I thought I was going to die,” she sobs. “How did you find me?” Tears streaming down her face.
Matt rushes to her side. “Baby, we’ve had eyes on you since the moment you came here. When we couldn’t find you, we went fucking crazy. We tore apart the place.”
She cries and falls into his arms, holding onto his neck for support. He lets her cry and puts his arms around her.
The asshole on the ground starts to scream belligerently, “You guys don’t know what you’re doing. She’s a fucking whore. A whore! You hear me? She’s been spying on you this entire time.”
The guy slumps back to the grass, likely because so many of his bones are broken. But that doesn’t shut him up for a second.
“She’s my girlfriend. You understand me? I have rights over her. Not that I would want the bitch now.”
This causes a newborn sense of fury to rise in my chest, and I personally walk over to him and do the honor of kicking him hard in the gut.
“Shut up,” I say, stomping on his broken body.
There. Now we all get a turn.
Ian’s calling security to alert them to our position. They’ll arrive soon, and this creep will get his dues…in jail.
Meg is still crying, “He was going to rape me. He said he would rape me and then kill me.”
“It’s true,” Paul says from his position on the ground. He looks at me and hands me the gun. “He was just about to use it on her when I found them.”
I shudder to think of what could’ve happened. I take the gun, ensure it’s locked, and put it in my suit pocket.
“The cops will be very interested to see this,” I say calmly.
The guy keeps screaming and ranting, “I’m not going to jail. You’re the ones who stole my fortune. You hear me? You stole fromme.”
We look at him and then we look at each other. I have no idea who this guy is. I have no idea what the fuck he’s even talking about.
