Trigger Warning!

This chapter contains graphic scenes of torture.

This chapter mentions an attempted suicide.

I barely got any sleep last night, my thoughts too hectic for my mind to settle. When Cassie finally woke up, she smiled at me and went to the bathroom to freshen up. The whole time I've been awake, I've thought about what I want to ask her. Things I need to know. I made sure to get Cassie to eat before we left for the plane, and then I convinced her to 'make up for lost time with Olivia and Santiago' on the way to the airstrip. Ma and Pa took the second SUV, leaving me, Sebastien, and Carlo in the last one. I need some advice from someone I trust, and someone that knows Cassie. Luckily for me, Sebastien also knows Viktor.

"So," I begin as I turn the wheel.

"I need some advice with something. As you know, Cassie and I are expecting, and we're engaged. But yesterday, she told me something else and I don't know how to go about it."

I hate that I feel vulnerable. Vulnerability is a weakness that can destroy you in ways you can't always recover from.

"She told me that the day before she found out she was pregnant, she slept with-" I squeeze the steering wheel in a death grip.

"Viktor." I grit through my teeth.

"She what?" Sebastien asked, sounding infuriated.

That makes two of us, buddy.

"Yeah. Imagine how I feel." I take a deep breath before continuing.

"She said it only happened once. That she went into sub-drop and had a break down, but he convinced her we'd never see each other again and she was his. She says she hates herself for it, but I just- I don't know what to do about it now."

"Wait, when did you say this happened?" Sebastien asks from beside me.

"A couple of days ago. She said the baby is definitely mine because they had sex the day before she found out. No one would show up pregnant on a test that quickly."

"That piece of shit!" he exclaims.

"What?" zio asks.

"Me and Cassie left the house early that morning without telling him. It was our mother's birthday, and every year we always go - alone, may I add - to her grave and give her flowers. When we got back, he was pissed and carried her upstairs. Fucking hell, well I get my hands on him..."

So, it was a punishment?

I park up as I let this information absorb.

"Thanks, man. That helps a lot." I say, turning off the engine.

I get out and round the car to get to the trunk, hearing muffled yelling.

"What the hell is that?" Santiago asks, coming up beside me.

The door opens as I pull my gun out and point it at Viktor's head. Sebastien undoes the rope that binds his feet, tossing it carelessly in the trunk afterwards.

"Get out."

He glares at me, not making any signs to move.

"Santiago, tell the crew I said to keep the back of the plane clear." he nods and heads towards the plane.

I look at Sebastien and subtly nod my head in the direction of the idiot who clearly has a death wish. I hear Cassie and Olivia laughing on the other side of their car as Sebastien gets Viktor out of the car. He stumbles slightly as his feet hit the ground. I give him no time for his body to adjust from being cramped up as I grab him harshly by the back of the neck and begin walking towards the plane. The women stop laughing and Cassie gasps.
