Alex's P.O.V

"Josiah, do you have an update on Scarlett?" I asked into the mic.

"Yes, sir. She's buying more baby clothes. Do you wish to speak with her?" he asked.

"No. Just make sure you have eyes on her at all times. I don't care what she says, all six of you watch her because your life depends on it," I snapped.

"Yes, sir," he replied.

While Scarlett was out shopping at the mall, per her request, I was going to be busy raiding each and every one of Cade's warehouses.

"I don't owe you a fucking thing," Federico spat as he coughed up blood. "You know me, I have nothing to lose," he replied with a chuckle.

"Is that so?" I asked as I cleaned off my blade. "Dante, bring her in." Moments later, a tall and skinny, blonde woman was brought into the room and placed in front of Federico. "Do you know this woman?" I asked Federico. With a smirk, I take note of the flash of fear in his eyes.

"Have you brought some whore to try to seduce the answer out of me?" he asked with a chuckle.

"I take it you don't remember or have had a sudden lapse in memory. Let me jog your memory for you. Dante,"

"Momma! Momma!" a little girl screamed and kicked as Dante brought her into the room. "Momma what's happening?" she asked as she looked around frantically. The girl's mother could only cry as the cloth in her mouth prevented her from soothing her daughter.

"Keep them separated and shut her up," I snapped. "Now, Federico, I ask again. Do you know her?" I asked. When he stayed silent and gave me a cold stare, I chuckled lightly and picked up the sharpest blade in my set. "I see," I said as I slowly paced around the room, playing with the blade in my hand.

"Half of your monthly salary goes toward this woman and her child. Why?" I asked.

"I don't-," he started, but I cut him off.

"Now don't tell me you don't know them because we both know that's a fucking lie," I spat. "Half of your salary goes towards this woman and her child so that they can live safely and unknown to the rest of the world," I said. "Now, why is that?" I asked.

"This-this woman. I don't know what lies she has told you but I have nothing to do with her," he replied, visibly getting nervous.

"It would be a shame if a pretty face like hers were to get messed up," I said as I slowly dragged the blade lightly across her cheek as her muffled cries begged me to let her go. "Women make us weak. She would be of no importance to me," Federico replied as he looked me in the eyes, not daring to look at her.

"Well then, I guess you wouldn't mind if I carve this little one up the same way you let Cade carve into Scarlett," I said as I walked over to the little girl who squirmed in Dante's hold.

"Alex, this i-is ridiculous. We don't hurt innocents," Federico said quickly.

"There is no, 'we', anymore, Federico. Scarlett was innocent and you still chose to hand her over to Cade, violating and using her for your own pleasure," I replied. "Dante, hold her still," I said as her mother began to scream and cry.
