Chapter 230
Stopping by them, they stare at me. I think that’s a win for me.
“I’m regretting this decision already,” Cal speaks and Marc laughs at his words. “Any teasing and you’re tied up in the car, okay?” He looks at me and I bite against my lip while nodding. “That includes biting your lip, stop!” He watches as I release my lip and we leave.
At least today nothing is revealed. I smile at the thought of later when they realise I’m entirely naked under the dress. Not just naked but with a love egg inside of me and the controller in my bag. I sit between them in the car. Cal is on the phone, explaining where to meet us and ensuring them we will have Jace. He looks shocked by whatever is he. getting told. Reassuring them again he hangs up.
“That bad?” Marc leans forward.
“Let’s just say Jace was one of their guards, and he snuck into her room one night. She can fight, so he didn’t get anywhere, but her clothes were ripped. He ran after realising she isn’t someone he can subdue.” I listen to Cal. “Anyway, she stabbed him with a dagger she had next to her bed. The guys weren’t home which is why he managed to flee.”
“Is she okay?” I don’t know her, but I hope she is.
“Totally puddin, as I said, she is a fighter. Trained by one of the best assassins so taking her down wouldn’t be easy for one guy.” I smile at that, I wish I could fight that well, even with D helping me, I’m nowhere near good enough to fight off one guy for longer let alone multiple.
The car stops and we get out. Cal pushing me behind them.
“Stay behind us, and in front of Troy please puddin, that way if anyone starts, or someone fires, you’re covered.” I nod, not even attempting to argue with him. We walk in and I stay looking at their backs. The place is run down, and by the looks of it closed. I tap Marc and he looks back, clearly sensing my question.
“This place shut years ago. It’s falling down. However, many homeless people use it. We considered tearing it down and building something else, but those who use it now won’t come back once it’s rebuilt, they would rather sleep on the streets. So for now it stays like this.”
That makes more sense then. We walk into a room and they stop.
“Jace, I am guessing? Don’t try to run, all exits are covered.” I peer around them to see a guy with scratches along his face, his shoulder clearly bleeding badly.
“I will leave, I won’t come back.” He shouts, stepping back. I watch as the brothers move forward and separate. Marc stops, pulls me to a chair and pushes me into it..
“Stay there cub. Troy will guard you.” I laugh at his words.
“Please, I have money!” He screams, and Cal laughs.
“We don’t need money. You’re too late anyway, they are on their way to collect you.” I watch as Cal sits, looking like he has no worries like he isn’t a target.
“What if I know things?” I look at Jace now. “Things about a plan to take your queen, to destroy you?” All three now circle him.
“Then I suggest you speak quickly or there will be more people
will have a contest to see who can make you scream the loudest in pain.” I smile at his words.
“Please!” Jace screams, crying.
“Details, Jace. We need details. You could be bluffing.” Marc is right, it could be a way to get free.
“Apparently someone has unfinished business with Daisy. They plan to finish off what they started, if you get in the way they take you down, but they want her.” Me, again, why am I always the target? I laugh and they turn and look at me shocked.
“Sorry, didn’t mean to laugh but that’s hardly news. Everyone knows someone is after me.” I shrug my shoulders.
“She’s right there.” D points out in agreement with me.
“Did you know they plan to do it this Saturday? Lure you guys out and make the building go dark. They plan to get in, get the job done and leave her there dying for when you return.”
Shit, that’s new. Saturday? I watch as they glance at each other.
“Names?” D faces him.
“Can’t remember, sorry.” I watch as D punches him, screaming Names again. He keeps going, but clearly, Jace isn’t going to speak.
“Devil’s.” I turn hearing the voice and see men walk in. If I’m right, he’s Dante? “He’s ours remember? Gunner has saved all his energy to play.” He laughs as they walk in. Dante looks towards me and smiles, nodding slightly. I watch as a guy at the back, I think Zane I think, sits Emmi on a chair and places guards around her.

“We need to share, he has the info we need.” D growls at him before turning back to Jace and stabbing him in the leg.
“Well, I guess he gets tortured more than we planned. Go play Gunner.” Dante sits, Zane and Bear sitting with him. I watch as Cal walks to me, but Marc stays close to D.
“I gave you a job, and a place to live Jace,” Dante speaks, and Jace laughs, spitting in his direction. “Well, your gratitude speaks volumes. Gunner don’t kill him until they get the information they need.” Dante looks at him, and Gunner nods.
I sit watching, Gunner and D working together to torture him and get information. Cal wasn’t wrong, Gunner and D turned it into a game, seeing who could make him bleed the most, cry the most, and who makes him pass out first.
As weird as it is, watching them do this is like art. Poetry in motion, every movement, every slice, every hit leads perfectly to the next and creates a masterpiece of blood and cuts across him. By the time Jace gives in and dies, he doesn’t mutter a name. He lost his fingers and toes. I was almost sick when Gunner burnt his eyes, I never expected that. D got pleasure from it though, laughing at how it melted.
“Crazy fucking bastards.” I smile and everyone looks at me shocked. Shit, fuck. Dante is looking at me pissed off. “Sorry, just together they battled each other. It was cute while showing how crazy they are.” I Smile, hoping I didn’t piss anyone off. They all laugh.
“That’s what happens when you get two pros together little birdie.” D winks at me, his hands covered in blood, but his expression shifts quickly back to worry.
“What did you need Calix, I will get my guards to listen and tell me if
they heard anything.” Dante sits forward now.
“He mentioned someone planned an attack on Saturday. Ensuring we‘ re out and them using the chance to get to her. We just wanted names. We know when it will happen, so we just won’t leave her Saturday, regardless of what happens.” Cal looks at me then back to him.
“Keep his things Calix. We have no use, he wanted Emmi was revenge because we removed him from his post to another. So take his phone and stuff, and see if that has answers. Do you need us to clear up?” Dante stands and I watch as the others walk to him now.
“No, we have it sorted. Get your Emmi home before it gets too late, we know what outside the cities are like after dark.” Calix speaks and I will have to remember to ask him about that. What did he mean? I watch as they leave, my mind going to Saturday. I feel like I need to tell them to lock me in my room to keep me safe.
I think Calix would get too much pleasure from that though. Actually, he would enjoy it more than anyone else. Even more enjoyment if he was in there with me. I will be safe, I will follow all their rules and orders when Saturday arrives. Even if it means staying in a room with. them and ten guards. Might be awkward but I will do it.
