Tainted Love(53)

“You! Are you the fat fuck who had his hands on my girl?” I ask, walking up to him.

I hear two more gunshots ring out next to me, and I know damn well those shots came from my boys, so I don’t bat an eye away from the target in front of me. Gripping onto his throat I push my face up to his. “I said…are you the sick fuck that hand his hands on my girl?” He laughs so hard his fat gut wobbles up against me. I look down at it in disgust before looking back up to him. “Think this is funny?” I push him back down the way we came, heading back into the room where the girls and Chad are located. Kicking it open, I see Chad wrapping his hoodie around them.

“Ade?” Alaina whispers.

“It’s over, firecracker.”

“That’s where you’re wrong,” Kalie whispers out emotionless.

I throw the blob of fat to the ground before moving over to her.

“What do you mean I’m wrong, baby?” I grasp around her neck and pull her into me.

She pushes away from me. “This is not over, Ade. I will never be the same again. I’ve had men touch me in places that I only ever wanted you to touch me in.” She wipes the tears that are dropping from her eyes and my chest constricts at the emotions in her voice and the words coming out of her mouth. “I will never be the same. I hate you, Ade Nixon. I hate you so much that I never want to see your face again.” She stands from where she’s sitting, wrapping the hoodie around Alaina and kissing her on the head. She wipes Alaina’s hair away from her forehead, looking deep into her eyes.

“I love you, girl. I’m so sorry.” She stands and begins walking through the door.

“Kalie!” I demand and she stops, whipping her head around to face me.

“What is it, Ade?”

I stand there, motionless. My mind is running one hundred miles an hour, there’s so much I want to say to her. I want to drop to my fucking knees like a little bitch and beg her to stay with me, to promise her I would lay her world out at her feet and pamper her in whatever the fuck she wants until we both shall live. But I can’t. I can’t fucking ask this girl to stay with me when she’s right. This is all my fault. She deserves more, she deserves someone that’s not part of this life and I can’t give that to her. I will never be able to give that to her because I don’t just live with these demons daily, the fuckers dance with the devil in my sleep.

“Any last words to the fat fuck?” I ask, taking my hoodie off and passing it to her to put it on.

I’m looking up at her and trying to memorize her every feature in my head. I love her so fucking much, and that’s why I need to let her go. I will never love anyone again. There was no one before her and there sure as fuck will be no one after her. I will always have a place in me for Kalie. That place will always be untouchable, and may God save the soul of whoever tries to touch that place again. She pulls my hoodie over her head.

“Kill him slowly,” she mutters before walking out of the room, this boat, and my life.





My jaw feels like it’s going to crack from the pressure I’m putting on it, and when I look up to Chad and Alaina, I see pity in their eyes.

“Don’t fucking look at me like that!”

Zane bursts through the door and takes one look at Alaina, swallowing hard with his eyes set in stone. “Baby?” he whispers out with raw emotion. Alaina bursts into tears, flying herself into Zane’s arms. I look down at the fat shit sitting on the ground and I grip around his arms. Zane places Alaina down and walks over to me.

“This man touch you too, Lain?” he asks, not taking his eyes off the man on the floor.

She nods her head. “Yes, but mainly the young one.”

Harvey walks in, dragging a skinny young guy behind him. “This him?” he asks Alaina.

She nods. “Yes, he also touched Kalie, Ade. He did horrible things to her.”

I narrow my eyes at Alaina before walking up to the skinny young guy.

“Oh, yeah? Like what sort of stuff?” I ask while not taking my eyes off him.

“He…I heard her scream one time. She tried to stop him and another man from coming back into our room. I heard her yell ‘no, leave her alone’ then I heard her scream out in pain while they were laughing. When they came into the room, they said that he fingered her up a wall while choking her. She almost died, Ade. They said she passed out and they had to perform CPR on her to bring her back.”

Alaina barely finished her sentenced before I grasped onto this guy’s neck and threw him onto the floor with the fat blob. I look to Zane. “How much time do we have?”

He shakes his head. “Not sure. I’ve locked Kazimir in the room next to us. We can deal with him last.”
