Dimitri POV
…
Staring at Amara wearing Liam zip up jacket that barely covers her black colored underwear. I listen to her tell me that Kaleb had raped her in the car.
I look over at Kaleb and his wife lifeless bodies, before walking up to Amara. I pull her into a tight hug, ” I am sorry, that I didn’t find you in time.” I whisper to her.
I can feel her body shaking as I hear her sob into my chest. ” I couldn’t let them live. T-they would h-have took me a-again.” She stutters out before falling to her knees. I kneel down infront of her and hold her head gently in my hands. I lift her head up so she is looking at me.
” Amara, I wouldn’t let them anywhere near you. No one is going to touch you ever again. Not Daniel or anyone else for that matter. I will turn this city upside down, and go on a killing spree if I have too. No one will ever get close enough to touch you.” I tell her honestly.
I am going to run things my way for now on. I keep hiring people the way my dad use to do. After I took over he kept going on and on about keeping family tradition. So, I would keep him included to keep him from nagging my fucking ear off. One of which was hire men that wanted to work for us. No reason to do background checks. All they have to do is swear their loyalty.
Bunch of bullshit.
I do background checks on all my men that are close to me, but not for the new recruits. Guess it is time to start cleaning house.
Amara nods her head, ” O-okay..” She says in a small whisper with tears still streaming down her face.
I wipe away her tears with my thumb and kiss her gently on the forehead. ” Liam, take Amara back to the SUV and take her to the hideout.”
I watch Amara shake her head, ” N-no, I w-want to s-stay with y-you!” She says moving away from Liam and clinging to me.
I feel pain shoot up my arm and too my back.
I give Liam a message through sign language, before holding Amara close to my chest.
” Shhh, I am right here.” I whisper to her. I watch Liam get a syringe out from his black backpack.
It’s a good thing he brought that incase we needed it. He has a full on medkit in his backpack. He even took a few things from the hospital I was at earlier this morning.
I watch him take the syringe out of a clear plastic package. He gets a small bottle out from his bag, and fills the syringe up half way before walking slowly over to me and Amara.
I tighten my hold the best I can, as Liam kneels down behind her. I watch him stick the syringe into Amara upper right thigh, and injects her with the medication.
I can feel her struggling against me as Liam pulls the syringe out of her thigh.
” W-why!?” She sobs out into my chest.
” You need rest and to be home where it is safe.”
The hideout isn’t exactly home, but it will be safe. I have to clean up the mess here and sort some stuff out. Amara safety comes first and it has become very apparent that people think. They can fuck with me and still be breathing air.
I give Amara a gently kiss on the forehead, ” Just sleep.” I can feel her grip slowly starting to loosen. ” Liam, take her to the SUV and accompany her back to the hideout.”
I watch Liam gently take Amara out of my arms. I slowly stand up and watch Liam carry her out of the hospital room.
” Lucia, call the clean up crew and get this mess cleaned up.” I tell him as I stare at Kaleb lifeless body.
I knew Amara had took up shooting a gun, but I didn’t know she was this good. When I found out where Amara was living. I had my men follow her for months. I knew she was going to a shooting range. I just didn’t realize how good at shooting she was.
She sold the gun a few days before moving back here. She sold it for money even though she still had the money Jacob give her. She really saved every dime for little Sadie.
Sadie has always been her main priority that she doesn’t take care of herself. Which is why I need to take care of them. So, she isn’t working so hard.
…..
After getting my men to take the bodies away and telling the police to write off. I get a message from Liam letting me know they had made it too the hideout and Amara was sleeping in bed.
” We should probably take her to the hospital to get tested and to get her some morning after pills.” Lucia says rubbing the back of his head.
” I am not making her go to the hospital. I will take her if she asks me. As for the morning after pill. I will take care of it.” I say walking down the old hospital steps for the tenth time.
” You, around up any equipment that is in good shape.” I tell one of the cops.
He stares at me confused, ” Like the hospital beds and surgical equipment?” He asked.
” Yes.” I say back flatly.
” But why?” The cop asked.
” Because, if you don’t I am going to take this knife.” I says pulling out a knife from my pocket. ” And I am going to rearrange your balls with it.” I says coldly.
I watch his face go pale before he quickly walks away.
I hear Lucia chuckle, ” Still cold hearted.”
I glare over at him, ” He was asking stupid questions.” Looking around I notice the SUV that I called for was no where in sight.
” Where the hell is our ride?!” I snap at him.
We have been here for five hours cleaning up this mess. I told dad to send men to pick me and Lucia up an hour ago. Not to mention Liam keeps sending me videos of Sadie asking for daddy. I swear I am punching Liam in the face when I get home.
” They are probably stuck in traffic somewhere.” Lucia suggests to me.
I roll my eyes and walk over to the police chief, ” Keys.” I order him with my hand out.
” Come on Dimitri, I just got this new car.” He says with a nervous laugh.
” Keys now!” I snap at him before just taking the keys out of his hand.
I notice how he tries to grab the keys back.
I hit a button and pop open the trunk. I lift it up and see piles of wrapped drugs. I clench my jaw as I pick up a package and see my family symbol stamped on the top right corner.
These are the drugs that went missing a few months ago. I know because I print all the dates at the bottom of each package.
” I-I d-dont know how t-hat go t-there.” The chief stutters out.
” Shut up! and get in the back seat!” I snap at him angrily as I slam the trunk shut.
” D-Dimitri we can t-talk about t-his!” The chief says slowly backing up.
I watch Lucia press his gun to the back of the chiefs head. ” Get in!” He says sternly.
I watch Lucia take the chiefs gun from the holster, before the chief gets in the back seat. I walk to the driver side door and open it. I climb into the driver seat, before hear Lucia climb into the passenger seat.
” P-please, it wasn’t m-my i-idea.” The chief continues in the back seat.
” Shut up!” I snap at him as I start the car and pull out of the parking lot.
I don’t want to hear his excuses. He stole from me and I won’t let this slide. Looks like the police department will have to hire a new police chief.
…..
Driving back to the hideout was a long drive. Especially since I had to hear the chief of police crying like a damn baby. He stole from me knowing damn well I don’t tolerate thieves.
The sun was starting to set and I was getting a serious headache. ” Lucia, shut him up.” I say pulling infront of the cabin. Out of the corner of my eye I watch Lucia turn around in his seat.
I hear a loud pop followed by silence. ” Should have asked you to do that hours ago. He didn’t shut up the whole ride here.”
Parking and getting out of the car. I hear the front door open. I watch Liam walk out with Sadie in his arms.
” Dada!” She screams happily at me.
Despite being in pain this is the most amazing thing to come home too.
