Adelyn

Chapter 14

Nathan's POV

I was sighning a few papers in my office when I heard Adelyn screaming. "Get off of me you freak!" I quickly ran out of my office.

One of my men was holding Adelyn down choking her. Without hesitation I pulled my gun out of my waistband and pointed it at his head. "Get the fuck off of her." He tensed and let her go. He backed away with his hands up while I kept the gun pointed at his head.

"If you ever lay a hand on her again, or so as much look at her I wont hesitate to put a bullet between your eyes." I said. I stared into his eyes making sure he got the message. "Y-Yes Sir, Mr. Hernandez." He studdered. He quickly ran off and I went over to Adelyn.

I was serious about shooting him without hesitation. He was one of my best men but if he was going to be a sick fuck and disrespect what was mine, I would make sure he never lived to see another day without hesitation.

I dropped Adelyn back off at my house and sped back to the first warehouse that I had taken her to where that man was.

When I got there I stepped out of the car slamming the door behind me. I walked down to the basement of the warehouse. I had previously called some of my men and asked that they get the man and tie him up in the basement. Anyone who knew about the basement, knew it was a bad place to be especially if you were the one being held there.

I came down the stairs to the basement where a few of my men were standing guard. I nodded signaling them to leave. I walked over to where the man sat tied up. He had chains wrapped around his legs, arms, and chest holding him to the seat. He was sweating like crazy. As he should be.

I walked over to the table and picked up a dagger. I walked back over to him while twirling the dagger in between my fingers.

His eyes went wide and he started squirming around. "P-Please Mr.Hernandez! Im sorry I wont do it again! He said inbetween sobs. I shook my head and knelt down in front of him. "Now now, Marvin. You knew better. You don't get to touch my girl like that and expect to get off with a little warning." I said.

"I completely understand sir b-but-" I quickly cut him off. "No buts! You knew what you were doing." He put his head down and continued crying. "Tell me exactly what you were planning on doing with her."

"N-Nothing Sir, I swear!" I slowly slid the knife gently across his cheek. He hissed in pain as I slid the knife across. "See, that's not a very good answer, so tell me! What were you going to do to her!" I yelled.

"I-I was going to take a few pictures and maybe sleep with her.." He said. I immediately stabbed the dagger into his left thigh, digging it deeper as he screamed.

"You sick fuck, Do you know how old she is?" I said gritting through my teeth. "N-No Sir." He mummbled. "Shes underage, and last time I check you were what? 46?" I yanked the dagger out and stabbed it into his other thigh. He screamed again. "You sick bastard! You will never touch her again." He nodded and tried to speak but his sobs choked him.

I collided my fist with his face a few times. My knuckles were bruised and bloodied. I didnt stop until I heard the satisfying crack in his jaw.

I walked out of the basement and everyone's eyes were on me. I glanced down and noticed the blood stains on my shirt and blood dripping down my knuckles. "Clean that shit up in the basement!" I ordered as I walked out of the warehouse. I continued to my car and raced home.

When I got in the house I was hoping that Adelyn wasn't down here so she wouldn't see me like this. I don't know how she will react if she found out what I just did. I shut the door behind me and noticed Adelyn sitting on the couch with Jared. Shit.

Jared looked over at me and his eyes went wide. "Shit man, what the fuck happened?" I ignored him and continued up the stairs. I heard foot steps behind me and looked over my shoulder to see Adelyn following not far behind me. She had a worried look plastered across her face.

She followed me into the bedroom and closed the door behind her. "What happened to you" She whispered. I glanced over at her and shook my head. "Nothing."

"Don't be ridiculous! Something happened!" She raised her voice. I pulled my shirt off and walked into the bathroom. "Dammit Addi! Nothing fucking happened so drop it!" I snapped. She jumped back. "Shit Adelyn. Im sorry." She just looked at me for a moment before she stomped out of the room slamming the door behind her.

I felt like shit for yelling at her. I didnt even mean to but I was frusterated. I just beat the shit out of one of my best men for her.

I took the rest of my clothes off and stepped into the hot shower. I let the water run over my hands and watched as the water turned red as it fell.

When I stepped out of the shower I wrapped a towel around my waist. I walked out of the bathroom and slid on a pair of boxers and sweatpants. I looked around the room and noticed Adelyn wasnt in here still. I glanced at her side of the bed and realized her bag was gone. Shit.

I ran downstairs with a shirt in my hand. Jared was standing in the kitchen eating a bowl of cereal. He looked confused.

"Where the fuck did she go?" I said. Jared looked up. "Who?"

"Adelyn, what do you mean who?" Jared set his bowl down. "Oh. She left."

"Left where!?" I yelled.

"I dont know, she just had her bag and ran out of the door."

"How long ago." I asked.

"About 10 minutes ago." I ran back up stairs and slid my shoes and shirt on before racing back down stairs. I grabbed my keys off the counter and slid my phone in my pocket.

I hopped in my car and started it. I sped out of my driveway and towards her house. Thats the only place I could think of that she might be. I was hoping that she was there already as rain started falling. I watched the water droplets roll down my windsheild as I sped past cars on the road.
