“What is this all about?” Lex snaps.
Cashel cocks his gun. “Take off your fucking shirt or I’ll blow your brains out.”
Lex does what he says, removing his shirt. Cashel examines his back, then he goes to a sink, puts soap and water onto a rag, then wipes his back. The crest tattoo appears; he covered it up with makeup.
“Tell me what happened on the night you killed my parents.”
Lex eyes widen with horror. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Cashel nudges the gun to his forehead. “This is your last time lying to me. I’ll paint this dungeon with your blood if you don’t answer truthfully. Why did you kill my parents?”
He swallows thickly. “To set Devious up. I was supposed to be the don of thefamiglia, but Draco gave the title to Devious. He told me he didn’t think I was fit to run the business. Devious had Aiden kill their dad, so his father didn’t have enough time to announce it to the underbosses.” He pauses, hanging his head down. “I killed your parents, and I set Devious up because I knew you would go after him and his brother, and once you killed them both, I would become don.”
“So you used everyone as a pawn, like your daughter told me,” Cashel deciphers. “After Roselyn warned me about you, I did some digging. Tell him why you gave your daughter to him.”
He doesn’t respond, so Cashel punches him in the eye with the butt of the gun. “Speak.”
“I had Roselyn marry you for the debt, but to also spy on you, and eventually betray you.” He shakes his head. “The bitch had no loyalty because she told me she wouldn’t do it. You turned my daughter against me.” He exhales, defeated. “I was supposed to be the don, not his fucking airhead son.”
Cashel grabs Lex by the neck, then he chains him in the far corner of the room. Roselyn wakes up and she looks around, rubbing her eyes, confused. Guilt tears me apart that my wife is before me and I can’t help her. I can’t protect her like I’m supposed to.
She screams at the top of her lungs. “Devious, help me.” She sobs.
“Since your father killed my parents, I’m going to fuck you, then I’m killing Lex and Devious. You, sweetheart, are going to be my wife.”
“Cashel, stay away from my wife,” I warn.
He ignores me. “Then I’m going to kill Villainous, and take over your territories. Your family betrayed mine, so I’m going to get you back.”
“Cashel, stay away from my wife,” I say again.
He pulls down his pants, whipping out his dick, trying to shove it into her mouth, but she moves her head to the side. He aims his gun at me, and tears trickle down her cheeks.
“Suck, or I’ll blow his brains out.”
She wraps her mouth around his dick, and she sucks, and I watch as my enemy forces my wife to suck his dick. Several moments later, he comes all over her face.
He lays her down, slides between her legs, and shoves his dick inside of her as she stares at the ceiling, silently crying, and I feel helpless as I can’t do anything about it. Rage fills me like a bucket of water, and I scream at the top of my lungs for him to stop, begging this bastard to let her go. The motherfucker grins at me as he keeps raping her. I yank on the chains as hard as I can, but it’s no use. I watch as he tells her that he’s going to make her his good little whore once they are married, that she’s going to watch me and Lex die. Lex doesn’t say anything, looking at everything but his daughter.
Cashel pulls out of Roselyn, zips his pants up, then he cocks his gun, aims it at Lex’s forehead, and pulls the trigger. Lex’s body falls to the concrete floor, surrounded by a pool of his own blood. Cashel nudges the gun to the side of my temple, burning my flesh with the heated chamber. My heart beats in my fucking chest, and pure terror overrides my senses. I look down at the floor, knowing I failed to keep my wife safe.
“Wait!” she screams. “Let me say goodbye to my husband. Please, Cashel. I’ll do anything you want, but please let me say goodbye to Cayden,” Roselyn begs on her hands and knees.
Cashel rubs his chin as if he’s debating, then he waves his hand. “You’ve got three minutes. Once your time is up, I’m going to blow Devious’s brain out.”
Roselyn
Iwatch Cashel leave the room and I feel so disgusted about what he did to me. I cry uncontrollably and I hyperventilate. I clutch my chest, trying to catch my breath. I’m going to kill him when I get the chance, and he’s not getting away with what he did to me and Devious. He killed my father, but he deserved it. My father always played with people’s lives. It was a matter of time, it caught up to him. I empty my stomach onto the concrete, then I turn to look at Devious. He has defeat on his face.
“We’ve got three minutes to get you out of here,” I say to him, pulling on his chains, then I search the basement. It seems more like a dungeon. I go to the shelf and I search for something to cut the chains. Anything will do. Devious can’t die and I won’t let him.
“Roselyn…” His tone is low and sad. I ignore him because we don’t have time for this shit. I have to get him out of here.
“Roselyn… please, nymph, look at me.”
Tears slowly trail down my cheeks as I turn to look at him. I stride to him and get on my knees so we’re eye level. He smiles sadly, wiping away the tears from my eyes. Hurt registers on his face.
“It’s over. The minute you walk out the door, Cashel is going to kill me.”
