Page 43 of Kaid's Empire

“Your father nearly caused a fucking war!” Kaid shouts.

Vitali just ignores him and continues talking. “I am sorry about your mother though; she was a good woman. Loyal to your father, until she had a knife to her throat, then she would suck dick like a vacuum,” Vitali sneers, and Kaid frowns. “Oh, that’s right, I forgot, apparently your mother was quite the whore. She would do anything to keep your father safe,” Vitali goads. Kaid tries to lunge forward to get him and Oleg and his men keep tight hold of him, but Kaid elbows Oleg in the gut and flies across the room, his fist connecting hard with Vitali’s jaw. He doesn’t get another punch in as his men drag Kaid off of him. “You don’t get to speak of my mother like that, you piece of shit!”

Vitali spits blood on the floor as his eyes come to me, and he smiles. I don’t like the way he is looking at me, and my stomach rolls. “I wonder if your woman is as good as your mother at doing what she is told…” Vitali smiles, walking towards me. I shake my head in a panic.

“You fucking get away from her!” Kaid roars, trying to fight out of the men’s hold. Vitali grabs hold of my hair and yanks my head back as he leans down close. “I think she would do anything if it meant keeping you alive.” He laughs, looking from Kaid to me.

Kaid tries to fight, and even Mikhail scrambles to try and help, but he just gets held down. “Oleg.” Vitali calls the one who hit me, the one who aimed a gun at us on the boat. He pulls out his gun, cocks it, and holds it to Kaid’s temple.

Vitali lets go of my hair and starts to undo his belt as tears stream down my face. Kaid grits his teeth, still trying to fight their hold, but Oleg just pushes the gun further against Kaid’s temple. “Leave her the fuck alone! You want me. You have me. Fucking shoot me, take the Bratva, but you leave her the fuck alone!” Kaid roars.

“No, Kaid!” I beg him.

“Tut-tut,” Vitali says, shaking his head. “You see what happens when you fall in love… what happens when you give yourself a weakness. It gives people an in, a way to bring the mighty Pakhan to his knees. Now, I could take the high road and release her, and just shoot you, but I don’t think that’s enough. I think that the last image you should ever see should be her choking on my cock," he snarls.

"You put your two inch shrivelled up dick in my mouth and I will bite it the fuck off,” I spit.

Vitali swings the back of his hand, hitting me across the face. He then grabs my hair, yanking it hard, and I cry out as my scalp burns. “I’d be careful if I were you, there is still time to kill you,” he threatens while freeing his cock with his other hand. “Now, you will take my cock into your mouth, and if you even try anything, I will kill him.”

Tears stream down my face. My eyes are on Kaid’s as he shakes his head at me. Bile rises up my throat, but I push it down. I don’t look at Vitali or his cock. I open my mouth and wait. I sob as Kaid’s eyes burn into mine.

“Nyet! Nyet!” he screams, trying to fight to get to me.

I look away, not being able to bare seeing the pain in Kaid’s eyes. As I do, a shadow catches my eye. I look up and see a man stood there with a gun. He holds his finger to his lips. “See, Kaid, she's a good girl, she knows the right thing to do. She obeys. I can see why you like her so much.”

I look to Kaid who has also spotted the guy, and he smiles. I scream and throw my head forward, straight into Vitali’s cock. He roars in pain, and I scream as the movement rips hairs from my head.

The man on the stairs shoots Oleg, then the other men, all straight between their eyes. They all drop to the floor. Kaid stands and takes the gun from the guy as he walks with power and determination towards Vitali. He stands over him as he rolls around the floor, clutching his crotch.

“You betrayed the Bratva, you betrayed me, and then you try to rape my fucking woman in front of me! My fucking woman!” Kaid roars.

“Kaid,” I whimper. His eyes come to mine. “Kill him,” I demand. Kaid’s eyes flare, and he nods.

“Do you hear that, Vitali? She's told me to kill you. My love, my weakness has ordered your death. And I will do anything to please her. What can I say? I'm fucking pussy whipped,” Kaid sneers. He looks to me then back to Vitali. “Pick him the fuck up and take him out of here,” Kaid orders.

He hands Mikhail the gun and walks over to me. He cups my face in his hands. “You didn’t kill him,” I whisper.

He shakes his head. “Not yet, not in front of you. That’s a side of me I never want you to see. Ever.”

“I won’t love you any less for doing it. He… he deserves to die.” I sob. Kaid rests his head on mine and holds me.

“I know, Kroschka, and he will. But I will make sure you never step anywhere near the darkness of my life. Never,” he promises, placing a soft kiss on my lips. “Now, can we get my woman the fuck out of here!” Kaid barks his orders.

“Well, it’s nice to finally meet the woman that has caught your eye,” the man that came down the stairs to help us states. He has a thick accent but it’s different from Kaid’s.

Kaid holds me close to him and sighs, smiling. “Not really the time or place for introductions, Uncle.”

“Nonsense! Who knows when you would bring her over to see us in Italy, she's famiglia.” He claps.

I wipe my tears and smile softly. “It’s good to meet you… Uncle?” I question.

“Just call me Uncle.” He pauses and turns to Kaid. “Your mother would have been proud of you, and she would have loved her.”

“Thanks.” Kaid nods, keeping his expression neutral, but you can see the sentiment of how much it means to him in his eyes.

“Now I shall leave you. Go look after her and my men will help in clear up.” He gestures. He kisses Kaid and me goodbye as we walk up the stairs, and I hear him barking orders in Italian.

“Now you’ve met the godfather of the Italian mafia,” Kaid points out.
