The guy that smacked my ass, hollered, “We were just messing around.”
“Yeah?” Hayes coaxed in a creepy tone. “How about I shoot your dick off and we’ll call it even then?”
I found myself demanding, “Please don’t.”
It was the last thing I wanted to see. This was already traumatizing enough for me. I didn’t need to have that mental picture in my head too.
He grabbed my hand, securely placing me behind him and I instantly felt at ease despite what could have happened had he not shown up when he did. The thought alone made my body shudder.
“You’re lucky I don’t lay to ground for touching what’s mine, motherfucker. The only reason I’m not is she just saved your ass by asking me not to. Count your blessings, it won’t last long.”
With that, he backed away. Never once taking his Glock off of them as we exited the building. As soon as we stepped outside, I yanked my arm away and he growled in response.
“Haven, don’t fuck with me right now.”
Ignoring his demand, I bit out, “How did you know where I was?”
“I have a tracker on your phone.”
My mouth dropped open. “Is that how you knew about Adam the night of the football game?”
He nodded.
“Your dad didn’t tell you where he sent me?”
His hands fisted at his sides. “When I got back to the bar and you weren’t there, I tracked your phone. It didn’t take much to put two and two together.”
“Did he set me up?”
“Yes, but it was to get to me.”
“Oh my God.”
“I told you to stay away from him.”
“He found me in the stock room.”
“Fuck!” he roared, looking back at the warehouse. “We need to go.”
I shook my head. “I’m not going anywhere with you.”
“Listen,” he coaxed. “I know your scared, but I’ll handle my old man.”
“How ? He’s your father and he just tried to hurt me!”
“He wants to hurt me.” He sternly pointed at himself. “You’re just the weapon he can use to do it.”
“Why? I don’t understand any of this! And why were you so calm in there? How often are you aiming a gun to people’s heads, Hayes?”
“I warned you, Haven. I fucking warned you about me! But you wouldn’t listen! You never fucking listen! And now look at what’s happened! All of this could have been avoided if you would have just listened to me!”
“If I had then we wouldn’t be together now! Is that what you want?”
“Fuck!” he roared again. “I can’t think right now. We need to go.”
“Do you put people to ground for him?”
“Haven,” he stressed. “Don’t ask questions you won’t understand.”
“Then make me understand! I don’t want to be scared of you, Hayes, and right now I am!”
“Whose fault is that?” Through a clenched jaw, he spewed, “This is who I’ve been this entire time. I haven’t lied to you.”
“You also haven’t told me a damn thing about yourself! Is this why? Because you really are a monster?”
“Sweetheart, I’ve told you that since day one. If you want to blame someone than blame yourself. I knew this would eventually happen, and I’ve tried everything I could to keep you safe, but the truth is, the only way for that to happen is for you to stay away from me.”
My eyes rimmed with fresh tears. “You don’t mean that.”
In a rough tone, he sneered. “I mean it with every bone in my body.”
“It would be that easy for you to never see me again?”
“If it keeps you safe than, so be it. I’m no good for you.”
“I thought you said you weren’t a one percenter? Was that a lie?”
“Don’t use words you don’t understand.”
“How about these words then… Do you love me?”
He looked at me with pain in his eyes, replying, “Don’t use words I don’t understand.”
Tears slid down my face, there was no hiding it from him.
“Don’t cry for me, Peach. I’m not worth it.”
I stepped back, placing my hands out in front of me.
“Haven…”
I turned and left him standing there. Hating the fact that he just let me go.
No chasing after me.
No putting up a fight for me.
Nothing.
Only my way out of the lot, I watched him walk back into the warehouse. Only to hear the rippling sound of a gunshot seconds later, knowing in my heart…
It was his Glock that did it.
Hayes
“You son of a bitch!” Christoff yelled, falling to the ground from my shot to his dick.
His men held their arms out in front of them, immediately surrendering to me.
Fucking pussies.
The other bitch stated, “We were just fucking around with her, Hayes.”
“Yeah?” I mocked, pissed to the point of no return. “Now it’s my turn to fuck with you.”
I pulled the trigger. The bullet missed his head by an inch on purpose. He instantly fell to the ground, begging for mercy while the other guy ran to Christoff to help him.
