Fuck this.

I move.

Fast.

My fist connects with his jaw—bone cracking under impact, his head snapping sideways. He stumbles, glass shattering as whiskey spills across the floor.

I don’t stop.

Another hit. His mouth splits, blood spraying.

Pain flares through my knuckles.

God, that feels fucking good.

I lean into it, slamming him back again.

“Where is she?” I snarl, dragging him upright and driving my forehead into his face.

Impact. White-hot.

I keep going.

I hammer into his ribs. Once. Twice. Again. Each hit sinking deep.

“You touched her,” I growl, shaking him. “You took her from me.”

Another punch. His nose breaks under it.

Voices shout.

Guns shift.

I don’t care.

I slam him into the wall, forearm crushing his throat.

“If you hurt her,” I whisper, fury shaking through me.

My fist lifts—

A hand clamps down on my shoulder.

Iron grip.

Igor.

I freeze, breath ragged, awareness crashing back in. A room full of armed men. My body on the edge of collapse.

My father looks up at me.

Smiling.

Pride.

Sick.

I want to finish it.
