My heart twists.
I pause with the protein shake in my hand.
I’m an asshole too, not good enough for Emma.
“Why aren’t you talking to me?” Emma pouts. “Just give me some answers, God…”
“I’m jumping in the shower,” I snap back. But I’m not angry with Emma. I’m annoyed with myself and just taking it out on her. “You know we will talk about this when the time is right.”
“The time is right?” She rolls her eyes in an overdramatic exaggerated fashion. “You are never going to give me anything, are you?”
I slam the bathroom door behind me, effectively ending the conversation for us, but before I can pull myself together, or even think about the shower, there’s a strange noise in my pocket.
Shit, it’s the cloned phone of Hudson’s, finally paying off.
Without wasting any time, I hit the record button and listen to what’s going on.
“Hudson, that you?”
Hearing the name of the man who has now become my enemy makes me feel sick to my stomach.
“Yeah, it’s me. Rickie? Flynn, can you hear me?”
“Yeah, I hear you.”
Who the hell is Rickie Flynn?
I commit that name to memory for later on.
“I just wanted to get some more info from you, Rickie. Tell me everything you know about Emma O’Connell so I can find her.”
I knew it.
I fucking knew it.
Asshole.
“I don’t know anything about her, Hudson. Only that she’s O’Connell’s daughter.”
“And you definitely want her alive? Because I think it’d be easier to get her to you dead.”
“Head on a spike.”This Rickie laughs nastily, making my lip curl up in disgust.“Yeah, I wouldn’t mind that, as long as I get to keep that tight little body of hers. At least until she starts to smell. I could have a good time… but I guess I need the little bitch alive, you know? Or my plan won’t work out.”
What the fuck is this plan?
I need to know everything.
“Yeah, yeah, I know the plan,”Hudson replies, panicking me. I should have made that bastard tell me everything when I was beating the shit out of him.“I know you need her alive, but she’s gone into hiding.”
“I know, her father is going crazy I hear. She doesn’t want to belong to the Flynn’s, I think that much is obvious. But it’s too late for that. The deal has been made. She’s mine and as soon as I get my hands on her, she’ll know that. Oh, she’ll know all right. I’ll make sure she fucking knows that she needs to bow down to me every time I walk into a room.”
It isn’t easy to hold back the vomit as the red mist of rage overcomes me.
These assholes are scum.
Not the sort of people I want anywhere near Emma.
This shit makes me realize I’ll die protecting her.
