She looks around confused for a moment. When she notices Sasha with the sledgehammer resting on her shoulder, a bored expression on her face, her face pales even further.
“I’ll ask again. Why did you destroy Frida’s tombstone?”
“I-I didn’t. I didn’t, but someone else did. It was a message.”
“Who?” Punisher grits out. His hands are fisted at his sides, and I know it’s taking everything in him not to step forward.
“Her boyfriend.”
That has us all frozen in place. I know for a fact that Punisher, Odin, and Erik killed the fucker.
“Her boyfriend’s dead. He died years ago.”
Luscious huffs as she straightens herself in the chair, despite shivering like crazy. Something has given her a boost of courage, and I want to find out what it is.
“That sick fuck wasn’t her boyfriend. He was the front. Sure, they fucked and he doled out punishments to her, but that wasn’t her boyfriend.”
Fuck......
“What do you mean, he wasn’t her boyfriend? Then who was?” Reaper asks as he steps forward.
Luscious grins darkly at him and then her gaze goes to Punisher. “He asked Frida out multiple times, but she denied him each time. Finally, he took matters into his own hands. He knew she liked someone else, but he wasn’t going to lose her to anyone else. Especially when he saw how doting and protective you all were of her.
“He kidnapped her after work one day and held her all weekend. Used her phone to send texts to her parents and brothers that she was going out of town for work unexpectedly. By the time the weekend was over, he had her hooked on his drugs. She voluntarily came back after that just so she could get her next hit.”
I swear you could have heard a pin drop in the room.
“What the fuck?” someone whispers.
Punisher stomps up to her. “Who. Is. He?”
She smirks at him. “You’ll have to figure that out. Use that brain you’re so proud of.” Punisher’s arm pulls back, but Sasha beats him to it, backhanding her so hard a couple of teeth fall out. It takes me a bit to realize she’d put on brass knuckles before hitting her.
“So your conscience is clear, brother.”
He gives her a curt nod and turns his deadly gaze back to Luscious. “I repeat. Who. Is. He?”
Instead of answering him, she turns her attention to me, and her smirk deepens. “Your worthless whore will be experiencing the same treatment here soon, if she hasn’t already.”
Suddenly, the door is thrown open. We all turn and see Mama Astrid standing there with Erik supporting her, blood dripping down her face from a nasty cut on her forehead. Her frantic gaze lands on me and I know.
“Mae’s gone. Bastards snuck in and took her when she went to the restroom. Colt and Drake took off after them. Nathan went to watch the gate. They took that bitch’s car, so the gate let them out right away.” She pauses, her gaze returning to me and her face crumples. “I’m so sorry, Timber. I tried to stop them.”
“Who? Who did this to you and took my Sunshine Goddess?” I grit out, barely able to restrain myself from going after them this instant.
“Carter Johnson. I didn’t get a good look at the other one.”
My head feels like there are tiny little jackhammers trying to split my brain apart. Groaning, I crack open my eyes and immediately shut them against the harsh light.
What happened?
Racking my brain, even though it makes the pounding worse, I try to remember. Another groan escapes me as little bits and pieces start to come back to me. Then it’s like a tidal wave.
Luscious trying, and failing, to stake her claim on Timber.Again.
The club saying all those kind things about me.
Timber’s declaration that I’m his in every way.
