26 - The Showdown

**LLOYD POV**

I arrived at Denny's house. I knew she was here, Suzanne told me she was her. Mavis was here and I needed to get to her. My men I brought surrounded the house as I walked up to the door. I broke in silently and walked around the house. I was going to kill Denny, I didn't care what it took I would kill Denny and then rip this house brick by brick to find Mavis.

I didn't hear anything in the house and I was getting concerned. It was dark, it was quiet...too quiet...

I hide around a corner and I knew I could hide from Denny. Mavis was the best but I was just as good.

"I know you're here Lloyd, stop being a wimp, come out and fight me like a man." Denny said looking for me. "You wont find her Lloyd, nothing says she's even alive. Her and your little bundle of joy could be dead. Would this be worth it if she was dead?"

I jumped out from my hiding spot when Denny passed me and I knocked the gun from his hand. We fought around the house, crashing into the walls, breaking things in the house. Denny finally got the better of me and had me pinned to the floor and went to punch me in the face but I rolled and got out of the way. Denny's hand slammed into the hardwood floor and he yelled out in pain as we both got up.

"Let her go Denny! She wants nothing to do with you." I said.

"She is my wife!"

"Ex wife!"

"I didn't sign nor turn in the papers. She is still my wife. So this entire time you have had her, fucking her, kissing her, using her, hiding her, she has been my wife. How does that feel Lloyd to know you had someone's wife?" Denny asked.

"Fucking amazing. She was screaming my name and said I was so much bigger and better than anything she ever had. Sorry you couldn't satisfy your wife Denny. She had to get it somewhere. And man once she was able to let loose she is wild in bed...you know how wild she can be?" I said. I knew I was just digging myself a deeper grave, but I needed Denny mad, I needed him to really attack me...I needed him to really show his true colors and let down his guard.

Denny just stood there staring at me until we heard banging in the basement.

"What the fuck?" Denny asked.

"Oh yeah, by the way, I was the distraction My men are working to get Mavis while I kill you."

"Kill me Lloyd? You cant kill me? You think you can best me?" Denny chuckled as we both took a fighting stance.

"I plan on killing you Denny. You will be out of my life and Mavis's forever. She will never have to worry about you again." I said. Denny growled and charged me as we started fighting, we started punching, hitting, throwing each other around. We were going hard, I needed to end this. As I was fighting I heard a guard in my earpiece.

"MAVIS IS OUT! RUSHING HER TO THE DOC!" The guard yelled and I knew it was time to end it. I chuckled as I punched Denny to the ground. Denny stood up quickly.

"Is this the best you can do Lloyd? Beat the shit out of me hoping one hit kills me?!" Denny asked pissed off.

I just shook my head and pulled a knife from my pocket doing a fancy flip to open it up.

"Okay fine. Let's see if these moves fuck." I said lunging at Denny. He was able to back up first but forgot to watch his surrounding area, he backed up into a wall. I punching him and pinning him against the wall after I did.

"Would you really kill me Lloyd?" Denny asked. "We have been friends since we were at Harvard. I have covered for you, been there for you. Now you want to kill me all over a fucking whore now our friendship is over?" Denny asked.

"She's not a fucking whore. I love her Denny and she loves me, she always have. You fucked her over in the past and I wont do that now." I said.

"What about her baby Lloyd, you going to be daddy Lloyd and change some diapers?" Denny asked laughing. I punching him a few more times. Denny just looked at me. "I will get her back, you mark my words, I will." Denny said.

"Yeah I don't think so." I growled thrusting my knife into Denny's chest and twisting it. I watched the blood fill his shirt as I pulled the knife out. I watched Denny fall to the ground. I crouched down and watched the light leave his eyes. He was dead and gone. Mavis could stop living in fear.

"Where is Mavis?" I asked through the earpiece.

"We took her to the hideout. The docs were there are waiting." Felix answered in the earpiece.

"Get in here, make it look like a break in gone wrong and cover all tracks. I need to get to Mavis." I said leaving the house in the dark of the night while the guards got to work. Felix came with me and drove me where I needed to be.

**MAVIS POV**

I woke up unsure of where I was and unable to move. I looked around and saw I was in a house but it wasn't the basement, nor was it Denny's house. I tried to call out and I couldn't find my voice again.

"Hey, calm down Mavi, it's okay." Lloyd said standing up and leaning over so I could see him. My eyes filled up with tears when I saw him and he placed a hand on my cheek. "There she is...there's my girl." Lloyd said and I smiled as he leaned down and gave me a small kiss. It hurt, everything hurt. I winced in pain and Lloyd grumbled. Not at me but at what was done.

"Mavis, I'm so sorry this happened to you but I need you to try and talk to me. The doc said it would be better if you tried." Lloyd said and I sighed. He grabbed the glass of water and I took a drink. I then thought about it for a second and cleared my throat.

"Hey Shnookums." I said and he sighed hearing my voice. Albeit raspy and not the best it was there.

"Oh cupcake, so good to hear you. I never thought I would again." Lloyd said and I sighed. I then thought about something and placed a hand on my stomach.

"The baby?" I asked.

"Is fine. They don't think there will be any damage. You did amazing trying to protect it." Lloyd said. He then sighed. "Mavis, I thought we discussed not having a baby..." Lloyd said.

"I got the shot, I wasn't thinking, and the shot can take one to two weeks to take effect. We were supposed to be using protection at that time and we didn't." I said and Lloyd sighed letting go of my hand and running his hands through his hair as he got up and started pacing.

"I'm not meant to be a father. I'm not meant to be a husband. We were fucking, it was fun. That was supposed to be it." Lloyd said.

"Just fucking? We weren't a couple? You didn't love me like you said?" I struggled to get out and he just sighed.

"That's not what I meant..." Lloyd said and I shook my head.

"Please get out." I said.

"Cupcake -..." Lloyd went to say but I grabbed the cup of water I took a drink from and threw it at him no matter how bad it hurt.

"Get out!" I yelled raspily and he growled but left. Soon something was jumping on the bed and I saw it was assassin.

"Hey sweetie." I said as Assassin curled up on my stomach, started purring and fell asleep. I smiled at this.

My baby and I were going to be on our own. I knew it. Now to just get out of here.
