Illuminated By The Darkness

Chapter 36 (Part-b)

Eugene:

What would have happened if the Cafaro's men had taken her yesterday? My hands shook by my side at the thought.

I was pacing restlessly in the room, shaking with fury. It felt like my chest was on fire, it was suffocating. Seeing Tiara so vulnerable and lost, broke me. It was early morning already and she was still sound asleep while I couldn't even blink. Every time I closed my eyes, I would see the scars on her body.

I received a message from Hugh asking me to meet him outside the door.

I sighed.

I wore my shirt quickly and went out but kept the door wide open so that I could see Tiara if she woke up.

My eyebrows furrowed when I saw Hugh standing there with a man who had a broken nose.

"I needed a drink and went to one of our clubs, where I found this piece of shit" he said and punched him in the gut. The man let out a loud cry and fell on the floor.

"Fuck! Shut him up. Tiara is sleeping" I grunted and looked to the side to see if she was disturbed and sighed in relief when she didn't move. I turned back to Hugh.

"Who the fuck is this?"

"This is John. He pimped out his teenage daughters to earn money for gambling and drinking. When his wife found out and threatened to go to the police, he beat her to death. That sent this fucker to prison and got released two days ago. Guess what? Seven years in prison did not change him at all. He came to our club without any money and when the waitress denied him drinks, he tried to grab her but the security kicked him out. But this little rat got offended and waited until she finished her midnight shift. And when she got out, he dragged her into the alley and tried to put his filthy dick in her. Unfortunately for him I saw him dragging her." he gritted his teeth.

I felt my fists tightening.

"How is the girl?" I was surprised that was my first question. 

"He only managed to rip her clothes. It really scared her, apart from that she is fine."

I nodded.

"I thought he can help you loosen up a bit" He knew I needed this. I wanted to kill and I was going to start with this bastard.

I smirked and looked at him. He was wheezing in pain.

"Shall we begin?" I asked and saw his eyes widen in horror as I took out my blade.

"No please don't" he cried.

This fucker was loud. I looked back at Tiara, luckily she was still sleeping.

"I will stay by her side till you are done" Hugh said and I nodded.

I waited till Hugh went inside the room and closed the door.

"So where were we?" I said and pulled him to his feet.

"I don't understand what the fuck is wrong with you men. I do whatever I want with my daughters." he sneered.

'I was tortured by people who were supposed to protect me'

I pulled him by the collar and punched him on the face repeatedly till I felt my knuckles split and then I released my hold causing him to fall back. I stepped forward bending down and rested a knee on his throat.

"They are your blood, and you are supposed to protect them, not fucking sell them" I hissed.

To think that Tiara might have gone through a similar situation had my blood crawl. I was furious.
