I’m raging as he speaks. I want to choke him and hurt him. Bruce probably senses my mood and pulls me back a few steps away from him.
“What happened next? I know you were fucking jealous. Speak or, god help me, I will end you right here, and no one will ever find your body.” The menace in my voice is clear as I glare at him with intent to action my words.
“I wanted to do everything she never let me do to her." He shudders as he speaks.
I move closer, pointing the taser at his chest, glaring at him to keep talking.
“She puked all over me. So I cleaned myself up, wore your shirt and left.”
I punch him hard in the face. Bruce pulls me back. “You left her, drugged, naked and in puke. I guarantee I will make your life miserable,” I shout at him and watch as the reality of my words dawn on him. “You did all that, then had the audacity to send those pictures to me and to your friends. What exactly was your plan?”
“Please, forgive me. I know that it was the stupidest thing, and childish. I just wanted you to dump her and have her crawl back to me.”
I immediately punch him again in anger, drawing blood from his nose “She. Is. Forever. Mine,” I shout. “Your fucking plan backfired. I already forgave her before I found out she didn’t betray us. Like she told you; She. Loves. Me.” I turn to Bruce.
“Destroy him: drugs, career and everything.” His eyes widen. “Give him the royal destruction package.”
“Please, Daniel. I will apologize to Anu. Please.” His voice cracks in fear.
I return a sad chuckle.
“What you did made her want to die. You sent her pictures, telling her to break up with me or you would send them to her father, her brother and her students. You obviously gained access to her phone. How did you do that?” He turns away. “Talk! If you want an ounce of leniency.”
“She set her phone down with a friend and I took it while the friend was distracted. I know her password.”
“All because she was no longer interested in you, and your ego is bruised. So you drugged her and went to this length to humiliate her.”
“I’m sorry, please. I will apologize and never speak to her again.”
“Like I give a fuck about your outdated apology. Rest assured your dad will get the naked pictures of you in bed with men sucking your dick, and you smiling. Your friends are guaranteed copies as well. You can forget about your fucking job; they will receive the photos of you doing drugs. In case you think it ends there, it doesn’t, because I have more humiliation laid out for you.” I lean close and lock eyes with him. “You are finished.”
“Please!!!” he yells, shaking in his chair.
Bruce and I walk out, locking the door.
“I will get to work on the friends he sent the pictures to. Hopefully it’s not too late.”
“Thank you.”
“Are you going back to the hospital?” he asks.
“No. First to our place to find the envelope and burnt it. A quick shower then back to the hospital.”
“Okay, keep me posted on her health.”
“Will do. Thanks, Brother.” We fist bump and I head out.
Once outside of the building, I find Zack in the usual spot. “Head home,” I say, getting in the car.
I scroll through my phone, it's a mental shield against Teni’s hatred and jealousy of us. I guess he thought I was the type of guy that wouldn’t want to fight for her and would let things slide. Well, he gambled wrong. No fucking way am I letting go of Anu.
I send a few instructions to Patrick, also letting him know I won’t be in today. Zack pulls up in front of the building and I race inside, straight to Anu’s room. I lifted her mattress. The envelope is the only thing there. Taking the envelope with me to the kitchen, I light up one of her candles and bring the envelope close to catch fire. I hold it and watch it burn to ashes. I take the ashes and flush them down the toilet. One down, now we need to find the guys that MF sent the pictures to.
Chapter 57
Daniel
The last three days since Anu returned from the hospital has been friction. I brought her over to my unit because I can control the security here. Her brother, Derin, had called and I told him everything. He’s in agreement with me on the outcome of Teni. He didn’t say, but I can tell he’s going to make sure the relationship with Teni’s family is completely severed.
