“You don’t speak to her. You want to play your fucking games, then you play them with me,” Alex roars. The anger in his tone has me sitting up straight. Desire cuts a glance between me and Alexander, it takes her two seconds to figure it out then her features darken.
“No, the game has only begun and I plan to fucking ruin her and destroy her like the trash she is. The De Santis family bows to no one,” she bites back. I push to my feet and feign disinterest. When I see Alex look at Omen, I use that moment of distraction to my advantage and leap onto the table, ready to rush the cunt and smash her face in. Alex the motherfucker grabs my waist and yanks me back like I weigh nothing, and uses his arms as a vice to keep me plastered to him.
“I’ll beat the shit out of her!” I scream.
“Bambi, you need to calm the fuck down,” he snarls.
“Control your bitch, Lex, or I’ll do it for you,” Desire snarks.
I meet the bitches scowl with one of my own but it vanishes when I see the green eyed monster lurking just beneath the surface. That brings a megawatt smile to my face.
“Oh, darling, he controls me just fine, don't you worry about that,” I purr in a suggestive tone that has Halo 2 growling and holding her back when she tries to come at me. The twins stand and help him restrain her while I stand here wrapped up in Alex’s arms, which she hates.
“I think this meeting is over,” Nova says as she stands. Vivian and the guys follow her lead.
“You want your hotel to go ahead, get rid of the bitch and you won’t have any issues,” Desire suggests in a tone filled with venom.
Vivian scoffs. “No thanks. Tate isn’t going anywhere and by the looks of things, you poked the wrong bear so I’ll stick with my girl and Alex.” I shoot Vivian a grateful look before looking back at the cunt across the room.
“Keep blocking the build, it won’t stop me from fucking him every… single… night.” Her face turns a bright shade of red at my admission.
I expect her to fire back. The bitch just goes lax and pulls free of the guys hold, straightens her jacket then smiles at me. The look is filled with promise. “Did you like the taste of my pussy on his cock?” I feel Alex stiffen behind me. Her answer is like a sledgehammer to my chest but I refuse to allow her to win. I lock down the hurt her words caused and force a sinister smirk to my own face.
“I prefer the taste of my own pussy on his tongue.” Her jaw locks and I know I’ve won. “See you around, Desire. Next time how about you leave your guards behind and we settle this for real because I don’t surrender, bitch. I’ll never go down without a fight, just ask Alex the next time you try slamming that retched cunt on him.” I tear out of The Butcher’s hold and storm out of there with my friends hot on my heels. I don’t look back. I’m so angry at myself for letting my jealousy overcloud my rational thought. I’m better than that.
“We’re getting drunk,” Vivian calls out as we hit the street. I grunt my agreement. I need something to take the edge off and help me calm down before I claw that bitches face off and punch Alex in the dick for letting me get blindsided by his ex.
Alexander
I’m vibrating with anger as I stare at Desire. I had just gotten back to the house when Omen told me we were rolling out because Desire was making moves on Tate. I didn’t ask questions. I have no idea how he knew what was going on and I didn’t ask, I just knew I had to get to her before Desire could do any real damage.
“You go near her again or you try and fuck with her, I’ll come at you with everything I have and this time, I won’t stop. I’ll take your family from you and smile over your grave,” I spit out.
“You can try, Butcher.” Wrath sneers as he pulls a blade from his side. Pope draws his gun and aims it at the little shit but he doesn’t bat an eye. The crazy cunt wouldn’t care if we all had our guns aimed at him, he thrives on chaos.
“I’m going to enjoy breaking that little bitch,” Desire announces. I nod my head and shoot Carnage a glance before turning back to the bitch before me.
“Then this is war,” I say.
“You kill again, the deal is off. We’ll take you down,” Carnage barks. I can see the torment in his eyes.
“You can try,” I say to him, then focus back on the vapid bitch. “No holds barred this time. I’m going to destroy you and your family.”
“The four fools you have at your side aremyfamily,” she fires back.
“No!” I roar, then slam my fist down on the table. “They aren’t anything to you. They aremybrothers and I will fucking die before I ever allow you to get your claws into them again.”
“You’ll die at my hands, Butcher,” she vows.
I smirk. “And you’ll die on my table as I tear you apart piece by wretched fucking piece, you heartless cunt.” I turn my back to her and stalk out of there without a backward glance. The time for fun is over and now it's time to stop playing in the shadows. She thinks she’s won already but she has no idea what we have built. I'll dismantle their empire and have her running scared before I finally strike and take her down.
The second I step outside and inhale, I feel freedom. I no longer have to hide or work in the darkness. My whole operation will be out in the open, which means more doors will be opened for us. I know without a doubt our business will take off, we’ll be able to reach out to other connections without having to worry about Desire finding out. The amount of guns and ammo we’ll be moving now means we’ll need more men to help with the workload.
“Where to now?” Halo asks from beside me.
“Home, we need to start preparing the men and get ready to make our first move,” I answer as I open the car door.
“What about the girl?” Omen hedges.
