“It’s time for you to leave,” I tell Adam, and he immediately stops laughing and glares at me.

“Good idea. You’re coming with us.”

My brows shoot up, but it’s Jared that responds.

“Like fuck she is.”

“Oh, she is.” Adam narrows his eyes at Jared. “Bianca is waiting for her with Travis, who doesn’t seem to be doing so well tonight.”

“What do you mean?” I ask, and Adam smirks.

I wanna smack that smirk right off his smug face!

“He’s gone a few rounds with my fists. He was out cold when I left.”

There’s no stopping how my heart rate picks up as anger engulfs me. Any sense of calm I had has vanished and a low growl escapes me.

Adam laughs again. “Oh, this is going to be fun.”

“Shoot him,” I snap at Jared, but before he can respond, a loud clunk sounds, and Jared tumbles forward, face first, into the carpet.

“Took your fucking time, Reggie,” Adam hisses, shooting a glare at the man that just knocked Jared out.

I cringe at the thought of another hard hit to Jared’s head.

“I was taking a fucking dump. I told you that having curry for dinner was going to come back and fucking haunt me,” Reggie snaps and Adam rolls his eyes.

Ignoring both of them, I lurch at Reggie, swinging Thana, her sharp edge nicking Reggie’s arm, and he jumps out of reach.

“Fucking crazy bitch!” he yells, but it’s the whimper behind me that pulls me up short.

Glancing over my shoulder, I see Adam standing next to Cynthia with the barrel of his gun pressed to her temple.

“Uh-uh, savage girl. If you want your foster mummy to live, then you need to drop that fucking sword of a knife, and come quietly with us.”

My eyes dart to Cynthia’s and even though there are tears streaming from her eyes, she shoots me a glare and gives her head the slightest shake.

Shit.

She’s willing to die.

For me.

I drop Thana without another thought, and Cynthia whimpers.

“No. Dee. No.”

“I have to,” I whisper. “I’m sorry I brought this into your house. Thank you for being the most welcoming and caring family I’ve ever had.”

“Fucking boo hoo,” Adam snaps, shoving Cynthia away from him before stalking to me, but addressing Reggie. “Tie up the boyfriend. We don’t want him waking and following us.”

When Adam is in front of me, he sneers, flashing his teeth as he looks me up and down. “It’s gonna be fun taking you for a ride on my dick.”

“Stay the fuck away from her,” Jared slurs as he starts to rouse, but it’s too late. Reggie has already bound Jared’s wrists behind his back, and he drags him across the room to where Will is still unconscious.

Shit.

I really hope he’s just unconscious and not something more.
