"You're disgusting! I’d blamed myself all this time. I believed all the stuff you did was because of something I’d done but no, you’re just a selfish son of a bitch who has daddy issues!"
"I don't give a fuck what you think, Akira. You don't know shit about me."
Avery spits blood at my face causing Austin to punch him repeatedly. The chair rocks backwards, very close to falling over, but Austin continues the onslaught of blows until Razor pulls him off.
Although his actions are disgusting, I refuse to let him get to me anymore. I will not show him anymore fear. Today is the last day Avery Hansen has any control over me.
"Calm down, D, we want him to be conscious for what we got in store for him." Razor hands Austin a towel so he can wipe the blood off his hands.
One of the guys hands me something to wipe my face. I then turn my attention back to Avery as he groans in pain. I take another step forward and stare at him intensely. "Avery, I hope you find peace wherever you end up after you leave this earth. I can't harbor hate in my heart for you because that would eat at my soul and make me as bad as you. I forgive you."
I walk away towards the stairs.
"Fuck you, Akira! Fuck you!" Avery screams and struggles to free himself from his restraints as my uncle enters the room, heading down the stairs towards me. "I don't need your damn forgiveness. I don't want your fucking forgiveness!"
Abasi reaches the base of the stairs, gripping a machete in one hand and staring at Avery. "I'm so sorry for my tardiness. I had to take care of some business."
"No problem, Uncle." Austin smiles and walks over to my Uncle and me while he continues to wipe Avery’s blood from his hands. "We didn't start without you. Kira wanted to talk to him."
"Are you all right?" my uncle asks me without taking his attention away from Avery.
I give him a hug and nod my head. "Yes, Mjomba, I'm better now. I got everything off my chest. Austin, I'm going to go take a shower and lie down. I’ll see you later." I give him a hug, trying to avoid any of Avery's blood getting on his face.
As I walk away from the bloody scene in the basement, the only sounds are the pleas from Avery begging and pleading for me to come back.
"Akira, please come back! I love you, baby. Don't leave me here." Tears fall down his bloody and swollen face. Standing on the stairs, I turn around. My eyes fix on Avery one last time, and I shake my head in disbelief at the man that I once loved. The man who turned on me and almost killed me. And now the man that would pay for what he's done with his life.
"May God have mercy on your soul. He's the only one that can help you now." I turn and walk up the stairs and out of the basement, blocking out his pleas and screams for me to save him.
Demon
"Akira no... Akira, please help me!" Avery screams as I turn to face the man who nearly killed the woman that I love and beat my sister. I send a hard punch to his face.
Abasi walks up to Avery with a smile on his face, gripping his machete. "So Demon, this is him?"
"And who the fuck are you?" Avery croaks as he spits blood out of his mouth at Abasi’s feet.
Chuckling, Abasi calmly steps forward with a machete in one hand and places it against Avery's face, dragging it down, causing Avery to scream in pain.
Looking Avery in the eye, Abasi gives Avery an ice-cold stare that would cause the toughest men to tremble in fear. "I am the one that they call the Black Death, and I come to watch you pay for your crimes against my niece."
I walk up beside Abasi and cross my arms over my chest. "Avery, you have no clue who you fucked with when you decided to attack Kira, attack my sister. Your daddy may have money and connections, but so do Kira and Dani." I laugh in his face, thinking to the connection we made through Kira who is so much more dangerous than any Bratva. "Uncle came a long way to enjoy this show, and after we’re done with you, dear old dad will be next."
Avery gives us a smirk that makes my blood boil. "You can't kill me. He's already been in touch with the Russians. They will save me."
"Ohhhh, you mean the Koshenkos," I ask laughing, looking over at Abasi. "The Koshenkos have nothing on Abasi Sefu."
The smirk that once was across Avery’s face falls immediately and is replaced with fear at the mention of Abasi's name.
"So, you have heard of me, yeah? Abasi asks with a smile. "Boy, don't worry. I'm not here to kill you. I'm letting the man who truly loves my niece handle that."
"No, please!" Avery's cries fill the room.
I step closer to him and whisper in his ear. "Stop begging like a little pussy."
Abasi takes a step closer to Avery, and his smile is replaced with an emotionless expression. "Well, since you have heard of me, you must have heard of my work. So, I promise you that the Black Death is coming and that means after you take your last breath by the hands of my nephew, your father and all his connections will be seeing you in the afterlife. Courtesy of me."
"So, you see Avery you fucked with the wrong family." I grin and walk over to the table that was set up with certain items I like to use to extract information. I slowly make my way back over to Avery with a Bowie knife. He eyes my every movement closely.
