Megan's POV
He dragged me inside.
He started to beat me, and I just let him. I wasn't reacting. I could feel the pain, but no emotion showed in me.

I wanted to kill him there and then, but I couldn't. His men were all stood around us. If I touched Damien, they would kill me, and my brother.

I'm not going to stick to the plan. As soon as I know that my brother is safe, nothing is going to stop me from killing Damien. I don't care if I die doing it. It wouldn't matter. I'm already empty. I'm already numb. I'm already Cold.

I had enough of just standing there, letting him beat me for his joy. I started dodging his punches. He looked confused, scared even, as I blocked every single punch he was throwing. I just started smirking at him.

After  awhile, he gave up and stopped trying to hit me.
"That job" I said with force as I took a step closer to Damien.

I wasn't scared of him anymore. I wasn't just gonna let him push me around any longer.

I saw him gulp. I have never acted this way towards him, and he and I both know what I'm capable of.

He just told me to follow him. He lead me into one of the spare rooms in my house.

Laid out on the bed was a brand new  lace dress and heels. I'm not gonna lie, they were pretty nice.

"Nice choice." I said as I examined the dress.
"I need you to kill this man. He owes me money and he won't pay up. You are gonna get into his club, kill anyone that gets in your way and then kill him. You need to find my money when you are in there. By the way, he has guards surrounding the whole building. He is hosting a ball in 2 days. That's when you will kill him." He said, trying to sound intimidating.

"I have one condition" I said as I stood up and walked over to Damien. We were face to face. I was stood on my tip toes, trying to reach his height.

I have never told Damien how I was going to do things. Usually, he would tell me to do something, and I would do it with no questions asked. He looked taken back when I said I had a condition.

"What?" Damien said.
"Where the fuck is my brother." I said calmly.
"What makes you think I'm going to tell you that?" He said, trying to sound smart.
"What makes you think I will do this job for you if you don't, Damien?" I said back.

I have never used his name before. He always made me call him sir. I took another step towards him. I could tell he felt intimidated.

He tried to grab my arm, like he usually does. I just spun around and dropped him to his knees. He was about to call for his men to help him, when I covered my hand over his mouth.

"Let him go, and I'll do your shitty little job." I said as I let go of him.
He just nodded and told me to follow him.

In my head, I was thinking of a way to kill Damien as soon as I had got my brother out of there.

Me and Damien got into a car. 2 of his men got into a car behind us. I saw Ethan looking out of his window.
I had an idea. I mouthed to Ethan through the window. I told him to be ready. He just nodded his head as he understood what I meant.

The car started and we drove away.

...

We pulled up outside of a building. It looked like a school. Why would they have put him in a fucking school?

We got out of the car and I followed Damien. We ended up outside a janitors closet.

One of Damien's men opened the door, and there he was. Joseph.
"Let him go" I said. Damien nodded towards one of his men. They untied Joseph and he ran to me.

"If you want me to do this job for you, you are going to let me take Joseph somewhere. I will be back afterwards." I said to Damien as Joseph ran into my arms.

"Okay" He said.
Damien must really want this man dead. He was literally taking orders from me!

I stuck my hand out to one of Damien's men.
"Keys" I said.
Damien just nodded his head and the man handed me the keys.

I then left with Joseph, making sure that Damien hadn't followed.
I drove to Ethan's.

"Ethan!" I yelled as I walked into his house, without knocking.
"Where's your phone?!" I yelled as Joseph was still in my arms.

Ethan came running. He handed me the phone and just stared at me.

I typed in the number of James' Office. The phone rang 3 times before it was answered.

"Grayson?" I said.
"Megan! Oh my god! I'm so glad your safe!" Grayson yelled through the phone.

"Grayson, I've got Joseph. He's going to stay with Ethan. Fuck the plan. I am going to kill Damien alone. The job was much closer than I thought."
I said.

"No! I'm not letting you do that!"
"You don't have a fucking choice!" I yelled. And with that, I hung up.

"Joseph, what ever you do, stay with Ethan okay?" I said to Joseph as I kissed his forehead and hugged him.

"Don't let him out of your sight. If anything happens to him? I'm holding you responsible." I scolded at Ethan. He just nodded and I handed Joseph to him.

"Please. Promise me you'll be safe, Megan." Ethan said as he pulled me into his arms.













"I can't promise you that."
