“Thefuckyou didn’t,” I hiss. My hands shake before I steady them again. “I need to know what this is about. Why do you want her? Tell me!”
“That wasn’t part of the deal,” Maddoc says flatly. “We did what you asked. We got her away from McKenna. We never discussed what would happen after that.”
His words twist in my chest like a knife, the sharp pain making it hard to breathe. I knew he could be cold and calculating, but hearing him speak so callously of the bargain we made breaks something inside me.
Maddoc slowly rises to his feet, his hands at his side as his gaze locks with mine. I know he’ll try to get the gun again, that he’s probably already looking for an opening or a weakness in my stance. I know he’s used to winning, and that he built his gang up into the force that it is because he’ll do whatever it takes to survive.
But so will I.
I shove aside the painful, chaotic mess of emotions in my chest and raise the gun. I know by now that the man in front of me doesn’t have a heart, but I aim the barrel where one should be.
“You’re right,” I say calmly, my hands completely steady this time. “None of that was part of the deal. And neither was this.”
Then I fire the gun.
