Becca.
The mont I scread out, the man who had co up behind Jas hit him in the back of the head with the ass end of the gun he was carrying. Jas collapsed to his knees, his gun dropping to the floor as Sergei began to laugh.
“Was that honestly your poor, pathetic excuse of trying to save them?” Sergei asked as he stepped closer to where Jas was. “You’re f*cking pathetic.”
He kicked Jas across the face. Jas’ body fell to the floor completely as I cried out again. I couldn’t watch this. Tally was begging for Sergei to stop, but it was as if nobody could get through to him.
“Please, please, just leave him alone. Don’t hurt him!” I begged Sergei, who slowly looked over his shoulder at with a smile on his face.
“Why do you even care what this man does, considering how he treated you? You are nothing to him. A piece of ass he happened to get f*cking pregnant.”
When Sergei said that, Jas’s eyes connected with mine, and I saw the guilt lurking beneath. Just because he had been an asshole to didn’t an he deserved this. Nobody deserved this, and yet it was happening.
“Daddy!” Tally cried out for him. “Please, don’t do this. Leave him alone.”
There was no telling what was going to happen, and honestly, I couldn’t believe Jas had walked in here like this, knowing all these n were here. He ca in alone as if he was on a suicide mission. Which didn’t sound like him at all.
A rush of emotion swept over as Sergei bent down to look at Jas, slamming his fist into his face again and again. The bloody ss scattered about the area until Sergei seed satisfied with the state of Jas.
Sergei finally had the man that he had been waiting for.
“You know, I find this all amusing. As if fate is on my side today. I had co here with the intention of luring you in, and I got both your daughter and your lover. Then when you ca, it was without much resistance.”
Sergei was radiating with pride over everything that was happening, and I, of all people, knew what it looked like when soone who got what they wanted thought too highly of themselves. I had spent many years with Tally before she changed.
“Go ahead and kill ,” Jas replied, his dark, husky voice was battered and broken just as his body was. “It isn’t going to save you, though.”
“Jas, no...” I whimpered, but my whimpers went ignored.
“Save ? What do you an it isn’t going to save ? Who the f*ck is going to stop from doing what I want?”
“You’re going to die.” Tally hissed. “You won’t get away with this!”
“Shut her up!” Sergei yelled as another warrior kicked Tally, causing her to cry out in pain as I struggled against my restraints.
“Please stop... please.”
There was nobody to save us. Jas was more than likely going to die at the hands of this man, and Tally and I would follow. Or at least she would... For so odd reason, this man had an interest in I would never understand.
I didn’t want any of it. Not one single bit, but there wasn’t much that I could do in a world like this, so dark and eluding, you never knew if you were coming or going.
You never knew who or what could take you.
“I may not be able to stop you,” Jas coughed out, blood dripping onto the floor from his mouth. “But you know what they say about won–” he replied, looking at with a smile. “There’s nothing worse than a woman scorned.”
I wasn’t sure what he ant, but at the exact mont that he spoke, the shattering of doors erupted, and the windows blew out in the house. Gunfire erupted around the house as people fought back and others took cover.
It was chaos, and even my own cries were damped by the sounds of war.
*****
Jas.
-Thirty minutes before-
As soon as I arrived at the house, I was t with problems. Sergei’s n were scattered upon my lawn, and slowly, I tried to bring myself forward to fight through the masses of people that he had on my property to get to the girls.
One by one, I took them down, but as a third ca at from behind, I misjudged myself and found myself in a predicant. One that took by surprise and almost cost my life. That is until a bullet to the head took him to his knees.
The only problem was the shot hadn’t co from .
Spinning around, I looked to see where it had co from, only then to witness Allegra and Neal stepping from the brush. There was a look on Allegra’s face that I hadn’t expected to see, and honestly, between her black skin-tight outfit and the heavy gun in her hand, I thought I was seeing things.
She was lethal. Ready to kill anyone who got in her way.
“I should f*cking kill you right now for everything that has happened,” she said, seething in anger. Her knuckles turned white where she gripped the gun. “When is this going to end, Jas?”
“I don’t know why the f*ck you’re here, Allegra. But I don’t have ti for this. I have to get in there and save them.”
Turning away from them, I made my way closer to my house only to have a firm grasp on my arm stop in my tracks. “Don’t do this.”
“Get your f*cking hand off !” I snapped at Neal, pulling my arm from his grasp.
Neal, a man who was the bane of my existence, had taken everything from that I wanted. Now, he was stopping from going in and saving the woman he supposedly loved as well. “You have to think this through. You’re running into that building with the chance of getting them killed.”
“I’m going in to save them.”
Allegra scoffed at my comnt, rolling her eyes. “Save them? You’re running into that building, running on nothing but emotions, and emotions get you killed. Where the f*ck is your backup, Jas? Where are the people who were supposed to be watching this house, protecting them?”
She had a point. Greg had said they would be protecting them, that I would have guys on the house, and yet here I was with no help. I wasn’t sure what was going to happen, but I couldn’t just do nothing.
“I don’t know, Allegra. I know they had n who were moles inside their ranks, people who were running back to Sergei with everything,” I sighed as I paced back and forth. “I can’t just stand here and do nothing.”
“No one is telling you to do nothing,” she sneered in disgust. “I’m telling you to get your shit together, or you’re going to get soone killed.”
She was right, and I didn’t want to admit it.
“What the f*ck is all this?” I asked, gesturing to the gear they both had and the way they acted as if they had done this before.
Allegra looked at Neal in silent conversation before looking back at . “It’s complicated.”
“How am I supposed to trust you or anything you do if you can’t give a f*cking answer?” I asked them just as another scream echoed from the house, causing to turn with panic.
“Look, we don’t have ti for this. Just know that we are more than you think.”
“More than I think?” I gasped, glancing back at her with anger. “I invited you into my ho and into a bed with my woman. But you won’t f*cking tell anything?”
As she took a step forward, I felt the hostility rolling off her in waves. There was a lot that must have been on her mind because usually she would have said many things right now that she hadn’t. “You really want to save them?”
“Of course, I do.”
“Good.” She replied, brushing sothing off my shoulder. “Then you’re going to need to pay attention because I’m only going to do this once, and I don’t have ti to deal with your bullshit.”
Allegra had a plan I wasn’t sure if I could trust. The only problem was that I didn’t have a choice. I needed help, and there was no way that I was going to be able to do this alone. There was no way that I could save Tally, Becca, and my grandson without their help.
“I’m listening,” I replied softly as she took a mont to really look at before patting my chest with a nod.
“Nikolai, explain.” Neal stepped forward, and when the realization hit that they had both been lying and were, in fact, Russians themselves, I grew angry.
“Are you kidding right now?” I asked her, watching as she shook her head with amusent in her actions.
“I never kid, Jas.” Allegra humd as Neal pulled up sothing on his phone.
“There is a point of entry from the top right of the building. You will provide us a distraction, and we will co in and take them out one by one.”
“You’re absolutely insane,” I muttered, shaking my head. “You guys can’t take them on.”
“Excuse ?” Allegra exclaid, crossing her arms over her chest as she stared at with anger burning in her eyes. “Why do you say that?”
“Because... he is a realtor for one, and you, Allegra,... you’re a f*cking supermodel.”
Hatred wasn’t sothing I was expecting, but the look she was giving let know right away what she thought about .
“You’re a f*cking asshole, Jas. This isn’t about you, but get with the tis. We don’t have ti for this shit.”
She was right. We didn’t have ti for this shit. If sothing was going to be done to save them, and protect them, then we were going to have to move forward. We were going to have to get with the program and get moving.
“Fine. Let’s do things your way.”
