BOUND TO HIM (Book II: Captured series)

20. Logan

You know when you try to do something nice and it comes back at you to bite you in the ass?

This right here is a classic example of that.

This piece of shit dared to go to her house! He had the golden opportunity of running, start a new life away from here and he chose to piss all over it.

Why? Why is she so important to him that he couldn't just walk away?

"Were you thinking of hurting her? Answer wisely or I might just slit your throat right now" I was struggling to keep myself in check. I wanted to put a bullet right through his head but first I needed to know his intentions.

If he fucking admits he wanted to harm her, I'll torture him in ways he'd wish he were dead. Blowing out the smoke I kneel down in front of him. My hands itching to kill him. He looked me in the eyes and I could tell he didn't have a lot of fight left. So I hurried up the process by pressing my cigar against his neck. Thinking that his screams would draw Elle's attention I pulled back.

"I had to ask the fucking bitch, how does she sleep at night, knowing that she married into a family that's responsible for her parents death?"

Elle knew the truth of my family and what we did. Although she was in a way blackmailed into marrying me, there hasn't been a single second when I haven't put her security my top priority. Killing her father had become a necessity in order for me to keep her safe. But her mother? No one knew the real circumstances of her death so how did he find out?

I give him a good, hard stare.

"You didn't tell her, did you?" He cracks up in a series of laughter and I swear I haven't had such strong urge to break someone's jaw ever before.

"Fuck me! I wish I'll be there to see the look on her face when she finds out you killed her mother" He confirms all my suspicions by those words.

"Who told you?" I grab him by the collar, shaking his whole body.

Costello opened his mouth to say something but Isaac beat him to it. "Umm. Boss?" I followed his gaze to the only person I wish weren't here right now.

Elle stood there at the back entrance to the house, her face white like snow. "You shouldn't be here Elle" I shove the man in my grasp, getting back on my feet.

"Is that true?" Elle's voice rang out, almost cracking at the end of each word.

"You need to go back inside. Now" I growled, my anger towards John was still raw in my system.

"Answer me" She said it more firmly this time. Costello was laughing like a lunatic in the background, clouding my thoughts. I nod at Isaac to get her out of here. I didn't want her to witness the sorts of torture this man was about to go through.

"You will not force me out! I'm not your fucking pet that'll move on your commands" She roared at a volume I've never heard out of her mouth and it was enough to snap me out of my rage for a minute. I took notice of the way she looked angry, partly because I haven't really been fair towards her and partly because she's lost and confused.

"It's not so simple, I can explain" I toss out the cigar and walk towards her but she takes a step back, making me stop. It was like a jab to my heart and I had to clear my throat to keep myself at bay. "Did you kill my mother?" She questions next.

"No, I was only a couple of years older than you" If it were up to my father, I would've been killing people since I started walking. And I'm glad my mother was able to hold that off until I was at least fifteen.

"The motherfucker is lying!" John yelled behind me and I did what I had to do, put two bullets in each of his legs to stop him from talking crap.

"Take him away" I order over his screams.
