“No Mia. don't do it!” Harrison calls out. He's in pain, I can tell by his strained voice.
Martin laughs again. I hate that sound, it sends chills throughout my entire body. “Well look at him playing step-daddy dearest. We all know where his loyalties lie.”
I bite back the scream not wanting him to know where I am, when another gunshot rings out. God, why is he doing this? He’s already caused enough pain, this is just overkill.
“Oh, Mia, Mia, Mia you're hiding away like a scared jackrabbit. What am I going to do with you?” He’s taunting me, he’s not going to stop, not until he has me.
I hear Harrison groaning and every instinct inside of me tells me to leave this hiding place and go out and face Martin so that Harrison can get help. I also know that Martin has killed people for doing less than what Harrison’s done to him. There’s a chance that even if I were to go out there, Martin would still kill him.
“Leave her alone.” Harrison’s voice isn’t as strong as it was.
I need to get out there, I have to try and save him. Crawling out from under the desk, I look down at the gun and knife in my hands. If I go out there and he sees them, he’ll be even angrier. I quickly put the gun into the band of my sweatpants and the knife into my pocket. I take a couple of deep breaths before I even turn to go to the door. I’m not ready for this, I’m not ready to face him, not again. But for Harrison, I have to. He’d do anything to protect me and right now, it’s my turn to do the same for him.
The office door splinters open and I turn in shock. Martin’s standing there with a sinister smile on his face. “You’ve gotten bigger since the last time I saw you.” His eyes rake over my body, lust burning brightly in those green eyes of his.
I shudder in repulsion. “Martin.” I whisper horrified as I’m staring face to face with the monster who haunts my dreams.
He takes a step into the office and I take two backward. “I’ve missed you,” he tells me, that stupid smile on his face.
I bite back a whimper as he takes another step into the room. “What do you want?” I’m surprised at how strong my voice is, I’m a mess on the inside but at least he can’t see that.
He tilts his head as if he’s studying me. “That’s not what I expected.”
“What?”
He licks his lips. “I was told that you were broken.”
I don’t know why but hearing him say those words pisses me off. “Well whoever told you that got it wrong. You never broke me, you never had the power.” It’s true, he never did have the power to do that to me. He hurt me, in ways I don’t think he’ll ever comprehend. But he didn’t break me and he never will. The only person who has the power is Hudson, looking at Martin now just proves that he has no hold over me.
He smiles wider. “You’re making things much more tempting.” His eyes once again rake over my body. “What we did before, we’re going to do again. I don't give a fuck what Harrison says, that baby is mine, you know it and I know it. What I don’t understand is why are you pretending otherwise?”
I look at him in disgust. “My baby isn't yours!” I shout, annoyed that he’s still saying that. “What Harrison says is true. I was pregnant before you kidnapped me. There is no way this baby is yours. But let me make one thing extremely clear, even if this baby was yours, there is no way on God’s green earth that I would let you anywhere near him. Finding out that Hudson was my baby's dad was the happiest day of my life. Knowing that you had no part in this child's life is a blessing.”
His eyes flash with anger. “You're a bitch. I should have killed you when I had the chance. Maybe Lacey would be more pliable? Hell maybe your mum would have been better?” His mouth twists into a grin. “That has to be the sweetest killing of them all.”
Pain stings my heart at his words. I want to bring my hand up and rub it away but I won’t give him the satisfaction of knowing his words hurt. “Why did you kill my mom?” It’s something I wanted to know, it's been on my mind since it's happened
He shrugs, not caring one bit about what he’s done. “Your mom meant the most to Harrison, beside Hudson obviously. It was the most obvious choice to deal the most pain.”
He’s evil. “You wanted to hurt Harrison so much that you don't think of anyone else. You killed the only family I had left. You murdered my mom for what? Revenge?” Tears sting my eyes, I will them with all my might not to fall. Not to let him know that he’s getting to me. “You wanted to cause Harrison the most pain. You didn't, you hurt me the most. Hell, you killing my mom hurt me more than you did when you raped me.”
His eyes narrow, and I swear I see a tiny bit of remorse, but as quick as it comes, it disappears. “You were caught in the crossfire. Nothing personal, Mia.”
Rage hits me. “Nothing personal? You couldn’t have made this any more personal if you had tried. You see, Martin, there is something you don't understand. You just see that your family left you, abandoned you. You don't see the fact that you were brought into Hudson's family, he had no idea who you truly were and yet he brought you into the fold. He trusted you, and you betrayed him. Who is the bad guy now?”
He takes another step toward me and pushes me into the wall, I wince in pain.
He begins to pace, I’m relieved that he’s walked away from me. “I should have been the boss!” It's the same thing with him over and over again he doesn't quite grasp the fact that while Hudson’s father is part of the reason he became the boss. It’s not the entire reason, he became the boss due to the depth of him. His character is what makes him the boss.
“You're mad at Harrison and you have taken it out on everyone else. You have lost every friend you have ever made.
He shrugs he doesn't give a fuck. He’s so lost in revenge, he doesn’t care.
I sigh and move on. “Did you shoot Marline?”
He smirks. “She was getting too close. I couldn’t let her find out what I was doing.”
“You didn't mean to kill her though, you only shot her in her arm. Unlike my mom where you shot her multiple times you only fired the gun once at Marline. You really love her.” It's a statement, I don't need him to answer because I already know the truth. “You would have killed her if you didn’t.”
