‘You don’t have to kill me. I could be useful. You could keep me here for whenever you need someone to play with.’
Hugh’s eyes glittered as he reached down and stroked his fingers over my nipples. ‘You’d like that. You pretend not to want these things, but I heard about what you were up to at Rosenhall, being paraded on a leash like a slut.’
His hand circled my throat, cutting off my air as he put his gun back into his waistband. I tried not to sob as he pushed his hand into my trousers and forced them inside me.
‘I’ve always wanted you, Valentina. Ever since you were little. Every time I fucked Nicole, I imagined your pretty pink lips beneath me. I knew you wanted me too.’
Logan’s face burned with fury as he pulled his knife from his pocket, the one he’d used to inflict pleasure on me, and threw it hard. Hugh’s eyes widened as it embedded in his lower back. With a hiss, he tore his fingers from me and rounded on Logan.
‘Keep your hands off my girl,’ Logan said with a growl.
Hugh laughed maniacally as he reached for his gun, ignoring the blood seeping around the blade in his torso.
‘Looks like you’ll have to watch me fuck her while you bleed out.’
‘No,’ I screamed as Hugh pointed his gun at Logan’s thigh and pulled the trigger. A deafening bang made my ears ache as Logan writhed on the floor, pressing one hand against the wound, the other pulling hard at the pipe he was attached to.
‘Is it true?’ A female voice said with a tremble.
Nicole stood by the door, watching the scene unfold. I pulled at my bonds as I tried to get to Logan. Hugh still stood above his panting body as Nicole walked toward him.
‘Shit, baby, you shouldn’t be seeing this. It’ll be bad for our little one.’
‘It is true?’ Nicole asked again, her voice firmer even as tears pricked her eyes. ‘Is it true that you always wanted her? That you never loved me?’
Hugh looked from me to Nicole before shaking his head and lowering his gun. ‘Hey, no, baby. You know I love you. I’m the only one who loves you. I’ve always looked after you, haven’t I?’
‘I looked at your computer after Logan left, and it was just folder after folder of pictures and videos of Valentina. There was only one folder about me and all it was just things you needed me to get from Daddy for you. You used me.’
‘It’s not like that.’
‘You’re a liar.’
‘We love you,’ I said to Nicole. ‘We all do. He’s poisoned us against each other since we were little, but we can all see exactly who he is now.’
Hugh strode toward me, his gun pointed right between my eyes. ‘Shut up, you little slut.’
My chest tightened as my bladder loosened when I saw Hugh’s finger twitch against the trigger. Logan roared as he pulled hard against the pipe, the metalwork groaning with the sheer force he exerted, then wavered, his body slumping from blood loss.
The world slowed as I closed my eyes, waiting for the bullet to tear through me, every minute nerve in my body thrumming to escape, but unable to do so.
When the gunshot tore through the room, I waited for the pain, but instead I felt a heavy weight slump against me. Metallic blood dripped over my face as I opened my eyes and looked at Hugh. Half of his head was gone. A mushy, red pulp with splintered bone greeted me.
I vomited at the sight.
Nicole’s hands shook as her arms remained extended from her body.
‘Fuck,’ she whispered, shaking her head. ‘Oh, fuck.’
‘Nicole, it’s okay. It’ll be okay,’ I said, feeling like everything was so far from okay. ‘I need you to get help. Logan’s hurt. Please help me?’
For a moment, I thought she would bolt, her face draining.
Then she pulled out her phone and pressed the screen.
‘Daddy,’ she sniffed. ‘I need you.’
