Chapter Thirteen

Quinn

He can't do this! I won't let him!

My arm was cocked back, fist balled tightly. A loud grunt flew out as I crushed all my weight into the heavy bag dangling a foot off the ground.

“Ah!” Colliding with the dark leather fabric, the bag swung side to side as my anger fused itself into my hands. I was letting everything out in the form in motion, releasing it from inside.

Louis had taken the choice right out from under me, forcing me into the pits. Knowing I had no option, no way out, I was burning deep inside.

I hate him.

His face shadowed the bag, his image manifesting across the sheen under the low lighting. I wanted to hit him at the bar, feel his face crumble beneath my fingers. He deserved a good ass kicking.

Cadence was mine now, she's not his to pay off a debt. And he knew I wouldn't let him do it.

When he told me his plan, his beady little eyes had lit up with pleasure, and a sick twisted enjoyment flooded his smile.

Threatening to use his daughter's body to pay off money he owed, that showed me just how much he truly loved her.

What kind of father does that?

The smack of my bare flesh rang off the bag, echoing through the gym. My knuckles had started to redden, the raw skin flaking away to reveal fresh pulp underneath. Bouncing around on the balls of my feet, I kicked my leg up, the front of my shin connecting hard.

My body was shaking with fury, it rode my back, spinal fluid bubbling inside, inching its way to the surface.

The Macro had pinned me to the edge of a cliff. He knew—he fucking knew—I wouldn't say no, that I wouldn't let him do what he said.

I was going to fight for what I wanted, fight for what was mine.

My promise had to be broken for Cadence.

I was fighting for her.

My eyes began to sting from the sweat dripping down my forehead. Wiping it away, I crouched down, head falling into my chest. My heart was racing, pounding against my rib cage, lungs inhaling heavily to suck in the thick air surrounding me.

This fucking sucks, how did it come to this?

He said if I just do what he asks he'll let her go, he won't come between us.

Falling back onto my ass, my arms rested on my knees.

What the hell am I doing?

I didn't even think twice about stepping in that ring the first time when he called on me, and now...

Now I'm going to jump back in with two feet, no question about it, no second thoughts.

There was no backing out of this, she needed me.

And she doesn't even know it.

Cadence had no clue what her father had propositioned, and what he had planned to do with her. Give her away to some stranger, some man to do what he wanted with her.

No fucking way, that was my woman. I had claimed her the first moment I saw her. There wasn't anyone who was going to have her pussy, except for me.

She had a body to die for, a cunt that smelled sweet as candy, and molded perfectly around my cock like she was made for me.
