“This isn’t a fucking game. These are our lives. You’ve already stolen her from me. Let your yappy little puppy fuck her. What else could you possibly want?”
“Why did she agree to be Victor’s whore?”
My teeth grind as I think about the things she’s done for that cunt.
“I’d like to know the answer to that as well.” Although, really, I know.
She wants revenge. And the best way to get intel for that is from the inside. It’s what I should have been doing. But Victor, Dad, and Kurt, unsurprisingly, kept details of their sordid activities hidden. Even when I discreetly started digging, they weren’t willing to divulge anything.
For all I know, Reid is fully invested in the whole fucked-up thing. Hell, he might have taken the reins from his father and be the one running the human trafficking ring they’ve got themselves tangled up with.
“Why does it matter to you what she does?”
“I’m not discussing my business with you. Hawk or not, I don’t fucking trust you.”
“Lucky for me, your wife has been much more amenable with giving me the information I need.”
My stomach knots as I search his eyes for any hint that he might be lying.
Alana wouldn’t give him anything unless she was one hundred percent confident that he can be trusted. It took her years to confess the horrors of her past, and I was looking after her. Yes, I might have abducted her, but I can’t imagine there is much comparison between the way I treated her to the way he has.
“Where is she?”
“Safe. Looked after. For now,” he taunts.
“I swear to God, if you hurt her then I’ll—”
“You’ll what, Murray? You’re locked up in my basement, what do you really think you’re going to do to me to save your precious princess.”
“She’s everything. She deserves so much more than this shitty town and these bullshit lives we’re forced to live.”
His chin drops in shock from my words. And for a moment, I get a real reaction from him. Maybe there is more to him than being Victor’s robot.
He really wasn’t expecting me to say that.
“You love this life. All you’ve ever wanted was to take over from your father, from mine. You want power,” he states. His words are spoken so confidently that it gives me pause.
Suddenly, everything is starting to make so much sense.
“Do I? Right now, the only thing I want is my wife, but you seem to have her.”
“What are the two of you planning, Mav? Why did she agree to be Victor’s whore? Why was she fucking Kane and every other motherfucker Victor pointed at instead of you?”
“What has she told you?” I counter, unwilling to give him anything that would hurt Alana more than she already has been.
“I know they hurt her. I know you took her in and protected her in your fucked-up way. Would have been cute if you didn’t fail, I guess.”
“Fuck you.”
“I know she loves you for some fucking reason.” My heart swells with his words. Fuck, I miss her. “And I know she’s desperate. Desperate for what you won’t give her. I want names, Mav. I want to know who my father is working with.”
My eyes narrow.
“You don’t know?” I ask, shocked.
“I thought I knew everything,” he mutters “But it turns out that hot little blonde upstairs has opened up something I didn’t know existed.”
“Fuck off,” I scoff. “You really expect me to believe you don’t have your fingers in every part of your father’s business?”
