The billionaires best friend

Chapter twenty three

Ben's PoV

My head is spinning, we just crashed and now my psychotic father has my older brother held hostage with a large knife to his throat. No one moves for fear of him hurting Lorcan, that cannot happen. "Son get that whore I call a wife and get over here" he barks stunning us all. Does he really think Rick or I would follow his demands? He's insane. But what happens next stuns us further, Blake suddenly grabs Layla by the hair making her cry out in pain and forcefully drags her to our fath- actually Jeffrey's side, I refuse to call that monster our father ever again.

As Blake and poor Layla reach him he back hands her across the face with his free hand and all the men on our side move as if to attack him but he presses the blade deeper into Lorcan's throat and they cease movement immediately. "You fucking traitor Blake, I took you on when no one else would. You were fucked without me and this is how you repay me" Tom shouts. Blake looks at him with a face full of regret but quickly schools his expression "fuck off Tom" is his only reply.

Jeffrey laughs and I can only describe it as a hysterical sound. He stops suddenly and looks at Rick "oh Ricky boy your a chop off the old block. You look exactly like me, did you enjoy the little pictures I sent, oh how much fun I had imagining your boy toy crying and shouting over how much of a prick you are. Did you cry little boy? Huh? I bet you did you pussy. Who'd of thought it three strapping boys I had, now your all fairy boys. Each one of you taking it up the ass, pack of pansies you are. I'm glad I left you all you are a bunch of worthless cunts. My sweet Lilith is turning in her grave-" "ENOUGH shut your rotten mouth right now. You don't talk about her ever you sadistic prick" Rick is seething as he shouts at him.

"Do you want to watch this time little Ricky, do you want to see the life drain out of your baby brothers eyes as I pull this knife across his throat. I knocked you out before your mother died but this time you can watch as another person you love dies. That stupid woman wasn't strong enough to stay with me when I loved her so much, I needed her but that fucking abomination killed her" he says pointing at me. Dar pulls me to his side but as he does Jeffrey clicks his fingers at Blake who automatically pulls out a gun and points it in our direction. "Get your dirty homo hands off my son" he orders Dar in a dark tone.

"Fuck you" Dar replies but it was a mistake, he clicks again and Blake shoots. I feel my world spin. Not Dar, no way, I can't let him hurt the man I love, fuck this. I don't think, I just jump. Within seconds I feel an unbearable pain in my shoulder as the bullet pierces my skin. I don't waste time on the ground in pain, I get up and stand in front of my man and say "you'll have to fucking kill me before you think of hurting him. I love him and you can do nothing to stop that you stupid fucker" I can feel Dar tugging me trying to get me to shut up but I don't relent.

"What do you want, you obviously planned this, we are on a deserted road and you crashed into my car here so you would have no witnesses. So tell us what the fuck you want" Rick asks him. I can hear the worry in his voice. He tries so hard to protect us at all costs so this is his worse nightmare. I'm shot and a crazy man has Lor. We are all out of our depth. "You don't get it do you, I want you all dead I'm going to kill everyone you love like HE killed my Lilith. This dumb twat was never a replacement for her, a cum stop is all she ever was for me and my friends, she's as worthless as you lot" as he finishes he kicks Layla in the stomach and then stomps his foot down on her side hard enough for us all to know he's broken some of her ribs.

"Stop you bastard, she's had enough" Theo screams and we all feel the same. Helpless. The way he looks is scary it's like he is getting pleasure from hurting the defenceless woman on the ground. Even Blake looks like he wants to stop him and I don't understand why he would stand by and allow this. He mouths something I don't catch to Tom but I see understanding come across Tom's face. The monster stops and I notice he's clever enough to never take the knife away from Lor "you do not defy me, that cunt is only getting half of what she's going to get once I get her home and you fuckers won't be able to-"

We hear a bang, his expression turns to one of pure shock as he says "what....- his eyes roll back in his head and he falls to forward. We stand stock still none of us have a clue what just happened. He falls in a slump onto Lorcan's shoulder and Lor pushes him off. Then we see, it all becomes clear to us because standing right behind where the monster stood is none other than our beautiful, sweet Kate with a big ass gun in her delicate, shaking hands.
