Meant To Be - Heaven Hill Series #1

Chapter Twenty-Nine

"You know Liam will come for me."

Denise said it in a sing-song voice because she had no doubt that he would be there soon, guns blazing, pissed the hell off, and ready to take her home. She did it to deliberately taunt the man who had taken her. It pissed her off that he had come into her backyard and taken her unwillingly.

Richard glared at the woman, his hard eyes telling her to shut up. Since she had awakened from the chloroform an hour ago, she had not stopped talking. He had listened in the beginning because he hoped that she would say something he could use. Instead, what she had spoken about were things that he already knew. It was now getting on his nerves, and he was starting to get sick of it.

To throw her off, he smirked at her, giving her a wink. "I'm countin' on it darlin'."

The skeevy way he smiled made her want to puke. Was this the man who'd raped Meredith? Was he the one who caused all the issues that were going on with the club right now? What else could she find out? Maybe she could help the club in the way a member's girlfriend normally did.

"Are you gonna rape me the way you raped Meredith?" Her eyes were clear, and she showed no fear as she asked him the thing she wanted to know most.

That question took him aback. "Let's get one thing straight. I didn't rape, nor did I have the reporter raped. I'm surprised that you came right out and asked me that though. Maybe you do have the backbone that I originally didn't think you had. That's pretty ballsy Ms. Cunningham."

Her gut told her that he might be telling the truth, but for some reason she just couldn't let this go. She wanted to do something to help her friend, and at this moment in time this was all she had. "But you know who did? You probably ordered it. Have you been watching us? I mean how else would you know who I am?" The questions poured from her mouth, all things she wanted to know, and all things she felt that he could answer.

"Jesus Christ, how does Liam put up with all your fucking questions? Does he fuck you all day and night just so he doesn't have to listen to you? Shut the fuck up."

The glint of anger in his eyes made her obey him. This man was capable of things she had probably never imagined. She could see that in the way he tightened his fists at his sides. Maybe it would serve her best to do what he said and just wait for the rescue she knew would be coming.

"What does he hope to do taking her?" William asked the group of officers.

"My bet is that he needs money. If he ordered the hit on her and the hit on Meredith, he owes somebody for that. Richard is not one to get his hands dirty," Tyler said quietly.

"So what's he gonna do? Ransom her?" Liam asked.

"Possible," Tyler was thoughtful in his quiet way, probably going over every scenario that they would be faced with.

"I feel like an asshole just sitting around here, not doing anything. We need to be going to where that GPS says she is and get her out. There's no telling what he's done to her," Liam growled. He wanted vengeance, and he wanted it now. He was sick of sitting around, waiting on something to happen. He would be damned if what happened to Meredith happened to Denise when he could prevent it.

"We need a plan." William argued. It was obvious in the way his members were looking at him that he was losing them. Liam was becoming much more of a vocal leader, and they were beginning to follow him without question. William knew that, son or not, he had to get this shit under control.

"Fuck a plan. It's obvious he's getting desperate, which means he'll get sloppy."

William held his hand up. "We don't want to be sloppy. We want to do this right."
