Drive Me Wild

Chapter 53 - Abigail

Pavel wants to see you both.

The words rang around in my head like a sour taste.

Pavel wanted to see me. A man I hoped to never see again. He was meant to be sedated.

Part of me needed to see him one more time for closure. To know what his true intentions were. Was it really my baby he wanted?

"No." Duke immediately interjects.

"I'm going." I try to slip off Duke's lap, but he tightens his grip around me.

"No you're not Abbie. The doctor said you can't be stressed."

"That was weeks ago! You're stressing me out from being an ass!"

"Duke, just let Abbie see him." Ryder bores. "I need to go home and see Rachael."

"Rachael will no longer be staying at your house. She will move in with me briefly before we send her to another location."

"That's not happening Duke." Ryder seethes.

"Our brothers are moving her out as we speak. You're acting too obsessive over this woman, and I won't allow it to continue."

Duke scoops me up and walks out of Evan's office. Ignoring his childish outburst of anger.

I was worried for Rachaels wellbeing. I had never seen Ryder act like that before and I don't think that it was a good idea.

"I'm worried for Rachael." I admit, cuddling in closer to Duke.

"She will be safe." He reassures. "I've never seen Ryder act in such a possessive manner."

"He's not usually extremely obsessive?" I lightly joke.

"He usually only satisfies himself with whores from a club. He's never felt the need to obsess over a woman before."

"Please don't tell Ryder where you're sending Rachael."

"I won't, my little waitress. I'll make sure of it."

Duke places me back on my feet as we come up to the basement door.

"Keep your head held high and show no sign of weakness." He whispers in my ear.

The door creaks open slowly, revealing Pavel chained to the floor, looking groggy.

"You're still pregnant." He states.

"I am." I beam, stroking my stomach, even though I was feeling terrified.

"That baby would have been mine." He growls.

"I'm not sorry that you didn't get what you wanted. You put me through hell and it will haunt me for a long time. I will look forward to the life draining out of you and not having to worry about your bullshit no longer."

"Your spitfire attitude turns me on. I should have fucked you when I had the chance and maybe I should have killed your unborn child instead."

"How dare you!" Duke yells storming towards Pavel and pulling a gun out of his cut.

Three shots echo through the basement and blood starts to pool around the floor. A huge bullet hole was present in Pavel's forehead.

I diverted my gaze to the floor in hope to wash what I had seen out of my mind. Instead I was met with blood pooling at my feet.

A loud guttural scream echos through the room and Duke's shocked gaze meets mine. A gun was held loosely in his hand, swinging gently as his body moved.

The scream continued, echoing off the walls and ringing through my ears. Duke ended up running towards me, scooping me up hastily and running through the door.
