Chapter 26. The truth is out

Caleb POV
"Caleb don't do anything stupid I know your angry but I need you to keep your cool until we get her back home safely." Aaron said trying to keep me calm but I was impatient and needed to get Aria back.

We found the abandoned warehouse they were keeping her hostage in. Me and Aaron came from behind while the rest of my team surrounded the whole warehouse.

I came up to the back door looking through the small window I could see Andrew and Elizabeth talking to someone but I couldn't see who it was cause their back was facing us.

"Caleb don't do anything stupid." Aaron warned me. "Shhh!" I shushed him so I could listen to what they were saying. "We need to move or he's going to find us we haven't even paid back our debt." Elizabeth said worriedly and scared.

"P-please l-let m-me g-go." I heard Aria cry softly. I cocked back my gun as I rushed inside the room shooting Andrew and Elizabeth in the knees with my gun.

"C-Caleb!" I heard Aria scream loudly from the far back. I ran towards the sound of her terrifying screams to find her. Aaron and Carson covered for me shots firing from all over.

I held my gun up the closer I got to where Aria was screaming for help. "Let her go!" I yelled at the woman holding Aria in a chokehold with her back facing me.

"D-daddy p-please." Aria cried desperately in pain. "Let her go or I'm gonna shoot you." I threatened angrily. The woman holding Aria in a chokehold turned around slowly while laughing crazily.

I looked at the woman my eyes widening slightly as I recognized the woman quickly. "Miss me pretty boy?" She asked me. "What the fuck do you want?" I asked angrily.

"Oh that's no way to speak to your mother now is it?" She asked me teasingly. "You're not my mother let go of my girl before I kill you." I gritted out promisingly.

"I'm not gonna do that son. You don't deserve to be happy remember you took my husband from me so I couldn't be happy neither can you." She argued refusing to let Aria go.

She was my mother Andrea but I fucking despised her. She was disgusting and vile she was never a mother to me and never will be. She was dead to me and she knew I hated her.

"Let her go." I gritted out threateningly as I took steps towards her while pointing my gun straight at her head between her eyes. "No." She refused but I could see the fear in her eyes.

I laughed softly as I noticed the small tears of fear forming in her eyes. She was scared on the verge of pissing her pants and I was the cause of her fear.

That didn't just make me happy to see but it switched on something dark and evil inside of me. "Why are you laughing you bastard!" She yelled angrily causing Aria to flinch at the loudness of her voice.

"You're scared." I stated the obvious. "Of me." I added laughing darkly. "I am not!" She yelled angrily. "Don't lie bitch I can see it and smell your fear from a mile away." I argued.

"You should be scared of me because you know what I'm capable of doing it's no secret. You seen what I did first hand remember?" I taunted reminding her of all the things I did to the man she loved so much.

"You sick bastard this is exactly why I'm gonna make sure you're never happy." She threatened while strangling Aria. I quickly grabbed a hold of Aria yanking her away from Andrea.

I pulled Aria behind me while Aaron quickly shot Andrea in the knee causing her to scream and fall onto her knees. "D-daddy!" Aria cried hugging me tightly.

"Take her in the car Aaron." I instructed him to take her. She held onto me refusing to let me go. "N-no d-daddy p-please!" She screamed gripping my shirt tightly so Aaron couldn't take her away from me.
