Chapter 23

-Maddox Astor-

"FUCK!" I screamed on top of my lungs, throwing my phone against the wall and breaking everything in sight.

I was seeing red.

All I want is to destroy everything and everyone after seeing those dreadful photos.

I have no doubt that our other employees on my floor could hear the entire commotion inside my office, but no one dared to come in and check on me. They know me and how I get especially when I'm this angry. They fear me.

But I've never been this fucking angry before.

The door suddenly opened and I was ready to throw my fucking laptop in the face of the person who was both brave and idiot enough to get inside the lion's den, but quickly seeing that it's only my twin brother, I threw the laptop on the side instead.

"What the hell is happening to you, Max?" He asked, worried was laced in the tone of his voice. He shut the door but still stood there, observing me and looking at everything I destroyed inside my office in surprise.

I would've screamed if this was anyone else, even Damion, but my twin was the only exception when it comes to my wrath.

I still couldn't form a single sentence. I don't know how I can speak of what I saw. I slammed both my clenched fists against my table, bowing my head down and my jaw clenching as I felt my whole body shaking in anger and disbelief.

The memory of mommy's broken face, her crying and begging, while she was being raped right in front of us while I was forced to watch forever burned in my mind.

That was all I could think about as soon as I saw those fucking photos.

What happened to mommy, did it really happen to her too?

"Max."

I looked up to my twin and my eyes widened in horror seeing that he was now holding my iPhone that I just threw. I hoped that it had already shattered to pieces.

"Drix, don't look---

But I was too late. He was already looking at the screen. Fuck.

His confused look shifted in shock, disbelief, hurt, and then anger all in a span of a minute.

I hate seeing the usually composed Drix looking like that.

Yes, we're twins, but since I'm the older twin I took it upon myself to always look after my younger twin. I'm fiercely protective when it comes to Drix and Corbin. I badly wanted to do the same for her, but I physically couldn't bring myself to, just by looking at her face would automatically send me in an uncontrollable rage and I'd end up just hurting her with my words.

Instead of protecting her, I just kept hurting her.

I didn't mean to, I really didn't. I know she's my little sister and mom and dad loved her a lot, but her existence would always remind me of the most horrible thing I was fucking forced to witness.

But finding out that my sister fucking experienced almost the same thing that happened to our mother. I was crushed into pieces for the second fucking time.

I want to gouge my eyes out.

I watched my twin finally snapping out of his thoughts, he coldly dropped my phone and stomped on it with his shoe before looking at me, our face both mirroring one thing, rage.

"I'll take care of this. Call Damion, he's not in his office yet, and have Corbin take that gi--- Mira home." The tone of his voice was low, but both cold and dangerous.
