To listen.
“Do not make me repeat myself,” he warned in a hard-edged tone.
As soon as I saw him, I recognized who he was.
This motherfucker…
I stopped breathing.
My hands fisted at my sides.
My body clenched.
My mind went to that dark place inside me.
“No,” she argued in the same hard-edged tone.
It didn’t surprise me that she was putting up a fight. It wasn’t in her nature not to do so. Crouching down to the ground, I grabbed the gun I had hidden in my ankle strap.
“Why are you doing this to me?” she pleaded in a voice that further pissed me off, knowing how hard that was for her.
I was about to open the door. I didn’t give a fuck about the consequences anymore. If he was the only one in the room with her, I could take him before he opened his mouth. I couldn’t just stand there anymore and do nothing.
I laid my hand on the door as he barked, “You’re mine, and don’t you ever fucking forget that.”
If life taught me anything, it was that what didn’t kill you only made you stronger, and I was about to prove that theory for what felt like the hundredth time when he added with conviction…“I love you, Sloan Duchess Del Toro.”
CHAPTER
TWENTY-SEVEN
LUKE
BOOM!
It was like a ticking time bomb had just exploded in my fucking face.
I couldn’t believe the words I just heard.
She’s his fucking wife!
My heart started beating rapidly against my chest. It felt as if it was racing a mile a minute. The instant hatred I had for her was something I couldn’t, for the life of me, comprehend. She’d used me since day one.
The secrets…
It all made sense now.
How could I have been so stupid? How did I not see it?
It was right there in front of my eyes the entire time.
Her feisty demeanor.
The fighting.
It was in her blood to be a headstrong woman in this seedy environment.
If Vince motherfucking Del Toro thought he could use his wife to take me down, he had another thing coming. He was the one who started this war with me, and now that I knew he was the puppet master, all that was left was to kill him. Except I couldn’t do it right now as much as I wanted to.
