Her Deadly Friends

Chapter 42

Danny Pov

He explained to me about his organization and who they are and what they do.

"But pops, when did you... you were always at home baking...." I rubbed my head. I was so confused.

He chuckled. "It was hard at first. Especially when you didn't have any friends. Do you remember my bingo nights? Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday."

I nodded. "Those weren't bingo nights, baby. I was running my organization and going to meetings.

"But our house. We lived a normal life. We didn't have much money."

"Never been big on flashy things. If you got it, you don't have to flaunt it."

"Yes of course. I didn't mean anything by that. I'm just trying to understand."

"Sweetheart, there's something else. This organization is full of members. Over a couple of thousands. I didn't recognize them at first but after I did, it was too late. They were your friends and you loved them."

I started to palpitation. My chest was falling up and down fast. No...no..no...

"Dean and Kyle are members here."

"I have to get out of here. I have to leave. He will kill me."

"Not after I make you my successor. I'm going to teach you everything you need to know. You will make your debut in 4 months."

Those 4 months away from Dean was torture. But being with him was even more torture. A torture that I could not bare any longer.

Now he wants to see Kyleigh. He didn't want her. He thought I gave myself to another man. He didn't believe me when I told him I didn't. He hurt me. He abused me. He hurt me over and over and made me cry. I begged him to treat me right and that this was his baby. I degraded myself by sleeping with him thinking that it would change his heart and make him love me again.

Not this time. I won't let him do this to me or my baby. I looked over at her. She was falling asleep on my grandfather's chest. "Pop, I need to handle something. Can you watch Kyleigh for me."

"Sure sweetheart. Take Pope with you."

I nodded.

"Where are we going," asked Pope when I summoned him.

"To take back my control."

*******************

When I woke the next morning there was a commotion downstairs. I heard shouting and growling. Kyleigh heard it too because she woke up crying. I grabbed her and headed to the stairs, bouncing her. Her whimpers died down. My grandfather told me he's a hated man. He explained to me about the exit route. I headed that way when I heard Deans' voice.

I walked down the stairs.

"She's not accepting visitors at the moment." Pope was in a stare off with Dean. I looked around at all the men. Some were my grandfather's men, the others were Dean's men. I didn't see my grandfather.

"If I keep having to repeat myself, we're gonna have some problems."

I knew what that meant. Dean has no qualms about killing everyone here. I've seen him shoot all his staff members in cold blood.

"Dean, what do you want?"

He turned to me and smiled and deadly smiled. "I've come to get you and my daughter and bring you home."
