“I know Wesley would want you to live.”
“Shut up!” The gun wobbled in his hand.
“Owen, listen to me. You don’t want to do this.” I took a step, slow and measured, and the bullet wound in my back stung like a deadly warning.
“Back off!” His finger tightened on the trigger.
I froze, hands raised.
“Owen. Stop this now and walk away. I won’t tell anyone you were here.”
“Bullshit. You’re a fucking liar!” His words boomed around my trailer.
“The police are on their way,” the man yelled outside.
“Don’t let this be how this ends. Wesley wouldn’t want this.”
“Shut up!” The gun shook in his hands. “You don’t know what Wesley wants.”
I charged at Owen and grabbed the weapon.
The gun exploded.
CHAPTER 29
Tyler
My kitchen window exploded as I tackled Owen, slamming his body against the table and onto the floor. The gun went flying.
Owen growled like a demon as I pinned him beneath me.
“Tyler!” Indiana shrieked.
“I’m okay. Are you hit?”
Her feet thumped on my floor as she raced to me. “I’m fine.”
“No!” Owen jerked and bucked underneath me.
“I have the gun.” Indiana’s voice was shrill.
She was still naked, holding the gun in two hands, ready to defend me.
“Put the gun on the bed and stay back.” I glared at her.
Sirens wailed in the distance.
“It’s over, Owen. It’s done,” I whispered, my voice cracking with emotion.
“Hey! Is everyone okay?” the voice yelled outside.
“Why didn’t you just walk away, Owen?” My vision blurred with my tears and anger. “Why?”
Tears streamed down Owen’s cheeks. “I hate you.”
“You silly boy. You could have walked away from all the bullshit, but all you’ve done is added another crime to your family legacy.”
“I don’t have a family. You killed them all.” A sob tore from his throat, and it wrapped around my heart like razor wire.
