After that, I’d reeled him in by letting him slide when he started losing. I waited until he’d dug a hole so deep, it would take him ten lifetimes to dig out of, and then I pounced.
But I had to do it in a roundabout way. Couldn’t let him know straight off the bat that it was his little girl’s sweet snatch I was after. As fucked up as he was, he seemed to have a soft spot for the kid. Probably saw her as a commodity or some fuck.
That didn’t stop him from offering her up the first chance he got. Even though that had been my aim all along, it still pissed me off that he’d been so quick to offer up the mother of my future children as payment for his debt. That’s why he was even now nursing two broken legs. He’s lucky I didn’t break his fucking neck.
Chapter 7
In the end, I decided that since she was asleep, I could make a run for the market and be back before she awakened. I wouldn’t be gone too long, and with all the security I had on this place, there was no way anyone was getting in or out.
I was gone for at the most, thirty minutes. When I got back to the house it was quiet. Too quiet; the kind of quiet you can feel but can’t explain how the fuck you can.
I dropped the bags on a side table and headed up the stairs. Of course she wasn’t in the bed, but she hadn’t left the house either because she would’ve tripped the alarm.
I went to the monitor and searched. “There she is.” She was in the downstairs library trying to call out. Smart girl, I would’ve chosen that wing of the house too since it was so far removed from everything else and didn’t look like it got much use. Too bad I was gonna have to punish her for disobeying me.
“Hello sweetheart.” She jumped a mile high and screeched, before trying to make a run for it. I stalked her across the room as I removed my belt. Her eyes went wide as saucers and she kept backing away.
“You can stop now, unless you wanna make things worst on yourself.” I stopped moving and waited for her to come to terms with her fate. “Who were you trying to call?”
“No one.”
“Don’t lie to me Bianca, I don’t like it. Now who were you trying to call?”
“A friend.”
“And who might that be?”
“No one he’s just a friend.”
He? Oh fuck no.
“This friend have a name? “ She shook her head and looked down at the floor. Now she’s not only gonna get her ass beat for defying me but also for trying to call some dick to come rescue her.
I’ll have to find out who he is, and what he means to her later. For now I had to deal with my little captive. “Come here Bianca.” She didn’t move an inch, but her eyes were glued to the strap in his hand as he folded it and slapped his other palm with it repeatedly.
“You know what’s gonna happen if I come after you right? GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE NOW.” She flinched and started tearing up, but at least she was moving. She stopped in front of me with her head down; and the strangest fucking thing happened.
My heart felt…off. For the first time I really felt like the bastard I’d been called so often. “Hey.” I found myself lifting her chin with a finger. “Good girl.” What the fuck? Her eyes widened on mine and she had a look that said she thought I was fucking with her.
“I would’ve done the same fucking thing baby. Some fucker snatched my ass and locked me away, first chance I get I’d be looking for a way out, fuck that. Let’s go make lunch or dinner, or whatever the fuck.” I took her hand and led her from the room.
I think until we made it to the door where I’d dropped the groceries she still thought I was fucking with her. Shit, it was gonna take me a minute to get used to this new me too. But seeing her looking so dejected didn’t sit well with me. I hope her fuck sweet virgin pussy hadn’t made my ass soft.
Let’s test that shit before I go handing out candy and flowers to the opposing crew or some fuck. I pulled my phone from my hip and called my muscle. He answered on the second ring. “What’s good boss?”
“My little peach’s got herself a male friend, probably from the neighborhood or school, find him, take him to the place.” Oh yeah, I was still the same fucker I knew and loved. She looked at me with fright in her eyes again.
“What do you plan on doing to him? please he didn’t do anything…”
“You like this kid?”
“Yes I do.” She seemed to realize her mistake because she started gnawing on her lip as she looked at me with tears in her eyes.
“See, that’s why he’s gotta go, I can’t have the mother of my children pining after some other dick. You see my dilemma right?”
