CHAPTER ELEVEN
–FIERO –
My anger still hasn’t subdued as I stare out of the window, looking down at the students who are leaving the building.They are all caught up in their own activities.Talking to others, rushing off alone, and completely oblivious to possible predators passing by.
I might be one of them, staring down at them and seeing possibilities to make a business thrive.Yet, running into Cillian on my fucking territory was a confrontation I wasn’t prepared for.Insane because I’m always ready for anything thrown at my feet.Okay, I could hardly slice his throat in front of all the students surrounding us, but still.
“Boss,” Floris grunts as he steps inside my office without knocking.“We have a problem.”
“Now what?”I grumble and turn to face him.
I might sound annoyed, however I do welcome the distraction.I might not know what it is, but anything is better than thinking about the woman who I’ve been trying to get out of my head ever since I pulled my cock out of her willing body.
My brother sighs.“When we escorted Cillian off campus earlier, I made one of our guys shadow the woman’s apartment building.”
I nod in appreciation, and dammit, I should have done that.“Thank you.”
Floris rubs the back of his neck.“Don’t thank me yet...Cillian just showed up.”
“Fuck,” I grunt.
My blood turns to ice and I jump into a run.My brother is out of the building first and gets behind the wheel.I should have known he wouldn’t heed my warning.As always, the fucker wants to finish what he started.Shame I can’t commit plain murder if I don’t have a solid plan to cover it up or have enough evidence to justify my actions.
Floris hits a few buttons on his steering wheel.“Is that fucker still there?”
A voice flows through the speaker system.“Two men who arrived in another car at the same time as Cillian just went inside the building.”
“We’ll be there in two minutes,” Floris states.
“Make sure Quinn doesn’t leave with them,” I order.
The guy mutters a curse.“Cillian is coming out of the building.He’s alone and getting into his car.What shall I do?”
Floris turns to me and it sucks we’re not there yet.
I know exactly where Cillian lives and what properties he owns, that’s why I order, “The girl.Stay with the girl, she’s important.”
Keeping my distance isn’t an option anymore.I either protect her, or lock Cillian up until I have a plan to get rid of him for good.
“You guys better get here soon.They are carrying a rolled-up rug or something.Fuck.”
The voice over the speakers falls silent and when we round the corner and see the entrance of the building we know why.
“If there’s a fucking body in there, I’m going to hunt the fucker down right fucking now and rip his head off and piss in his eyes.”
Floris stays silent when I jump out as soon as the car has come to a stop.I come up behind the two men who have placed the rolled rug on the sidewalk to open the trunk.
“You two are going in there your-fucking-self,” I order and punch the first one in the face and the second one gets an elbow in the eye.
My brother is right behind me, taking one of the guys and grabbing his hair to knee him in the face.I punch the other guy two more times and he goes down onto the pavement.
“Here.”Floris hands me a zip tie.
We bind their wrists and ankles and shove them into the trunk.Turning to the rug, I grab the knife from my buckle and cut through the rope holding it together.It rolls open and Quinn’s body flops lifeless into the open air.Her color seems normal and when I touch her she feels warm.Checking her pulse, I’m relieved to still find her alive and breathing.
“Put her in our car,” I order.“I’m going to check her apartment and put the rug back.”
Rolling the rug, I throw it over my shoulder and go up to her apartment.The door is still open and there are two suitcases in the middle of the room.When I place the rug back and check her bedroom, I notice all the clothes are gone.They were going to take her and all her belongings.Gritting my teeth, I turn around and stride out the door with Quinn’s belongings.
