Page 69 of Taunt Me (Dark Odyssey 2)

I would have been more on point if not for last night, but I’m not that injured that I can’t teach this motherfucker a lesson he won’t forget. A plan to for real. Bullets start flying all around me but I’m fighting Tobias with my fists. I’m fighting with everything I have so he can feel my rage and I’ll pull my gun when I need to.

I give blow for fucking blow and I notice that the guys around me do the same. I don’t lose track though on what I’m doing and the rage I want to show this guy. I throw an uppercut and enhance it with a headbutt and a jab to his ribs.

I fight dirty because those I use my fists on will always be an enemy come to kill me. This guy is that - an enemy.

When I throw a raw punch in his face, his head snaps backward and he stumbles, falling over. That’s when I dive on him and give it to him in his face.

I’m punching and punching, showing him who I am and most of all I’m giving him a good beating for what he did to Charlotte.

Fuck him, fucking fuck him and fuck him for playing even dirtier by making me play Russian Roulette when he had no intention of playing nice.

“You fucking dog!” I shout in his face. “You underestimate me. You won’t do that again.” This is where control comes in. I said I wouldn’t kill him but that doesn’t mean I won’t mess him up and the way I plan to do that is so much better.

I slide off him and rise to my feet. The prick actually thinks I’m going to end him when I pull my gun.

“This is a warning. You stay the fuck away from my girl, you hear me? Stay away. Do not bother Charlotte ever again,” I balk.

“Fool, you think you can stop me? You don’t know who you’re messing with. I am Tobias Antonella and if I want to fuck your doll I will.”

One bullet flies from my gun as he talks his shit. It doesn’t go to his head like I would have loved, I shoot his dick.

We’ll see who he’ll fuck now.

He actually screams and howls from the pain.

I crouch down and look him over. “I told you, don’t underestimate me.”

While he’s howling with pain I reach into his jacket and get the tape.

Around me most of his men are either dead or enroute to it. It’s as expected. There are two standing who have their hands raised as Claudius points his guns at them.

I could be a fucker and take back the money but I don’t. I leave it and walk away.

I walk away and that surge of triumph fills me again.

I won’t make the mistake of being foolish however and think this is it.

Like he said, he’s Tobias Antonella.

I’mveryaware of who I’m messing with.

I know he won’t take what I did lightly.

I look to Vincent who nods, which means he would have done the same thing.

That’s good enough for me.

Now to focus on Charlotte. The only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.

Chapter Twenty-One

Charlotte

I get backto Gabe’s place minutes ahead of him.

I was just starting to worry when the door opened and Gabe came in.

Nick stayed with me the whole time, got me away from the danger and stayed with me to protect me.
