“You will now be my wife, Nylah.”
My computer alerts me to an incoming message to Aluxis’ phone. Pulling open the message, I see it’s a video. Hitting play, I watch as the video comes into focus.
Is that Addri?
Addri is laying on the bed, chained up, and naked. I see Cade’s uncle, Kevin, coming closer to Addri.
“Sweet, sweet Addriana.” He says, rubbing his hand along her naked body.
What the fuck is this? I’ll fucking kill him!
“Please let me go. I won’t tell anyone.” She pleads.
Laughter from outside the camera view catches their attention.
“Please don’t do this. I love Khalil, and this will break his heart.” She pleads again.
The new man walks in front of the camera. I can’t make out his face from his angle.
“We aren’t worried about him.” Kevin chuckles.
“I did what you asked. Please don’t do this.” She has tears falling from her eyes.
Both men strip naked before violating the only girl I’ve loved.
Who is that man? He seems familiar.
Bending over, emptying the contents of my stomach.
I will kill him and get the name of the other man from him.
Turning back to the screen, I close out of the video. Pulling up Kevin’s information. I will track his ass down and gut him, along with anyone who gets in my way.
Why did she get sent this video?
Pulling up the feed in the house, I see her sitting on the couch between those twins.
Did they know?
They were supposed to keep her safe. She was their fucking sister. I won’t let them hurt mine. Now that I’ve found her, I can’t let her go. Not with him still out there.
I couldn’t save her, but I will save you.
Packing up what I need, I climb into my car. Pulling out of the driveway, the first stop is Kevin’s place.
Chapter Thirty-Eight
ALUXIS
It’s been two weeks since that night with the video. The guys have all been distant. Even when we get together to eat, they all seem distracted. I’m not sure who sent that video or why, but it did a lot of damage. I couldn’t sleep for three days after. Every time I tried, I could hear her cries.
They guys have all been out today, doing their own things. I painted my nails and cleaned up around the house. I’m so bored, I don’t know what to do with myself.
Picking up my phone, I’ll see what Jo is doing. She’s been busy too, with her boo. Pulling up her contact, her text comes through.
Jo: Hey babe
Me: I was just about to text you
