“He wanted to make Klayton believe that Tommy was still alive, he wanted to make him believe that Tommy had faked his death so that he could go and work for Trevor thus making Klayton believe his dear best friend had betrayed him which would ultimately drive him insane and weaken him" Oh my god This is truly f**d up Ilooked at Carlos like he'd lost his damn mind while he looked at me nonchalantly “And you work for a man like that? you work for a man who thinks kidnapping kids is fun? you work for a man who

“If you can talk you can breathe, dumbass" I said while rolling my eyes as I shoved the prick away from me and walked over to the table behind me "You should only look out for number one in this world, Mrs Black and that's exactly what I'm doing..I'm looking out for me, myself and L.I'm sorry your kids got involved in this but T've gotta look out for myself, I hope you can understand that" "Yeah, I understand” I say while nodding my head “And 1 hope you can understand that as a wife and a

mother, it's my duty to look after and protect my husband and kids whenever they're in danger and right now you're the +++ danger” I'said while pulling the trigger several times until I fired the final shot into his leg "AAHHHHI!, YOU fr***xg pr*=hjll" “What's your mom?" Yeah, I know, it's immature for me to say this but I really don't care Alll care about right now is releasing all of this anger from

me and the only way I can do it is by torturing this motherfucker to the point of death and that's exactly what I did Idid everything I could to cause him pain without actually killing him because death is too good for this b***h “Oh my god" I'turned around when I heard a gasp coming from behind me and I saw Vanessa and Katerina looking at me and Carlos with a shocked expression

“Jesus Christ...is he still alive?" “Barely” I said whilst wiping some blood off my mouth with my arm “What can I do for you both?" “Lacey sweetheart, we've erm...we've got some company” "Who?" I ask Vanessa but she didn't answer me, instead, she looked towards the door where my cousin and husband were standing and they looked pissed

“You just couldn't help yourself, could you, principessa?” Klayton asks me and I smirk at him “No, I couldn't" “Babe, I thought we agreed you'd let Klayton and me deal with this piece of s**t" “No, you said you wanted me to let it go and leave it to you guys, I never agreed to anything” I'said and Logan looked at me like he wanted to beat my ass as Klayton walked into the room and whistled when he saw the state of the i***t tied to the chair

“Jesus Lace, I already knew not to get on your bad side but this...” He drifts off as he waves his hand up and down at our prisoner “This s**t scares me and nothing much scares me, kid" “Well, he pissed me off" "I can see that" Klayton says with a chuckle as he wipes some blood from my cheek with his thumb “Do you feel better now?"

He asks me and I nod my head “Tons better..at least now I know I can actually sleep tonight knowing that I've done some damage to this piece of s**t" “Damage? babe, you've completely annihilated this guy” Logan said and I chuckled “And he deserved it" “Did you manage to get anything out of him for me?" Klayton asks me and I tell him everything Carlos had told me

“That's more than you were able to get out of him, Klay" “Never send a man to do a woman's job, Vanessa” Isay as a joke but it seems my cousin wasn't in the mood for any jokes if the scowl on his face is anything to go by "It's not funny, Lace" Jf you say so, Klay “Anyway, can I go to bed now? I'm exhausted"

I'said while letting out an exhausted sigh “Yes, I'l get my men to clear this mess up” Klayton said with a chuckle as he kissed my forehead which was probably the only part of me that didn't get any blood onit “Thanks, Klay" Ikiss his cheek and leave the dungeons with Logan hot on my tail Iwas barely out of the dungeons before I was picked up

bridal style by my husband who still looked angry as f**k with me “Logan...” "Don't Lace" “But babe...” Chapter 24 - Carlos's Worst Nig. ~/ Itried again but was once again rudely interrupted “Lacey, I swear to god please keep your mouth shut..'m so angry right now and I can't even punish you how I'd like to,

Task and he bursts out laughing “You seriously underestimate your cousin's status and the status of his mafia if you think this is just about power, Lace, not to mention you either underestimate the hatred and feud between Klayton and Trevor or you just don't know how deep the hatred between the two runs”

50 please, can you do me this one favour and keep quiet" Logan growled and I instantly shut my mouth I understand why he'd be so angry with me but I was kind of hoping he'd understand why I had to do what I did Hopefully he will when he's calmed down and we've talked about it but for now, I'm keeping quiet Logan took us up to our bedroom and quietly walked us into our bathroom so that we wouldn't disturb our son He then sat me down on the counter next to the sink and locked the door before going over to the shower and turning it on

I watched Logan as he manoeuvred around the bathroom preparing things for my shower and I felt bad when I saw the look on his face He looks angry but also sad and disappointed as well which doesn't sit well with me at all, it's not a good feeling to know you've disappointed your husband “Logan” I call him and his body stiffens as he tums to look at me Iwas then startled when he stormed his way over to me and yanked my legs apart stepping in between them and

nuzzling his face in my neck “You fr+*+g scared me, do you know that?..when I woke up and I saw you were gone, it f***g terrified me, Lace, it put the fear of god into me because I thought that someone had taken you from me but then I find you in Klayton's dungeons looking like something out of a frereg horror Chapter 24 - Carlos's Worst Nig. ~) movie" “I'm sorry, baby, I didn't mean to scare you" “Then why did you leave without telling me?"

Logan looked up at me and I let out a sigh as I cupped his face with my bloodied hands “Because [ knew if I told you then you wouldn't let me go and you'd find a way to talk me out of it" “Yeah because I don't want you to have to deal with that s**t, Lace, I don't want you to witness anything dark” “Too late to say that after today" I say while looking down "Look Lacey, I just wanna protect you... made that vow three years ago to protect you and our children and I promise to protect you all until the day I die but I can't do that if my own wife is gonna go behind my back like this" He says and my emotional barrier broke as I burst into tears

"Baby" Logan said as he held me in his arms “Ijust want an easy life, Logan...I want an easy life with you and the kids but there always seems to be something to stop us from living our happily ever after” “Nothing's gonna stop us, love, I promise you" “But they already are, Logan” I'say with a bitter smile as I look up at himThis belongs to - ©.

"First, GiGi tried to ruin our lives, then depression tried to kick my ass and now some sick, psychotic fucker with a grudge against my cousin wants to use me and is willing to hurt everyone we love to make his sick Chapter 24 - Carlos's Worst Nig and twisted fantasies come to life" "Do you think I should temporarily join the mafia?" Logan asks me out of the blue and I chuckle slightly "You don't temporarily join the mafia, Logan, you're either in or you're not and once you are in you're in...there's no way out except for death” So, what do we do? I wanna keep you all safe and happy"

"What do we do?" Task as let out a tired sigh “We have a shower, we wash that scumbags blood off me and we go to bed and deal with all of this bullshit tomorrow" “ok Logan says with a smile as he helps me out of my clothes and he takes off his own clothes We then got into the shower and I wasted no time in

scrubbing the blood from my body with my husband's help When I was clean and free from the blood, Logan kissed my shoulder, neck, jawline, face and lips and each one felt like he had been hungry to kiss me and now that I was clean, he was able to feed that hunger “You don't know how hard it is to resist kissing you, my love" Logan said while panting against my lips as he cupped my face “Actually, 1 do because I've wanted to kiss you ever since [ saw you standing in the doorway of the dungeons looking all sexy with that glare on

your face but I didn't want to kiss you with another man's blood on me" "You looked so crazy down there, baby, you looked murderous” Logan said with a smile “He shouldn't have pissed me off then, should he? a mother is a man's Chapter 24 - Carlos's Worst Nig worst fear in one way or another” I said with a smirk “Remind me to never get on your bad side, my love" “I don't have to because you know better I say whilst wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing his lips

After our shower, we quickly dried ourselves off and got changed into some fresh pyjamas Ithen blow-dried my hair and put it in a plait before getting into bed and snuggling next to my son Logan also got in behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist ultimately trapping me between him and our baby “At least this way I'll know if you escape from me again” “I'm not going anywhere, Logan” Too right you're not, babe"

"How deep does it run then? because from where I'm sitting, Trevor is just some weak little mama's boy who is jealous that Klayton is a success in life, he's a successful and influential businessman, he's got a hot wife and gorgeous kids, he's living his best life whereas Trevor's on the run and had to settle for the dregs in life” “You think Trevor's weak?" Chapter 24 - Carlos's Worst Nig. <] Carlos asks sounding both baffled and amused “Isn't he?..the first rule of the mafia is no harm comes to women and children and I've always thought it was a sign of major weakness when a man can hurt women and innocent little kids which makes Trevor weak, right?"

Logan said while kissing my neck and nuzzling his head against mine "Don't scare me like that ever again, Lacey, do you understand me?" “I won't, I promise you" I said before drifting off to sleep between my two loves

"Trevor's not weak, he's a very smart and calculating man, sure he may not have any common sense but he's far from weak" Pfft, smart I scoffed as I rolled my eyes I then looked back at Carlos as I pulled Vanessa's gun from out of my waistband “Let's play a game of Russian roulette shall we, Carlos”

Isay as I take out every bullet in the gun and leave only one “I'm gonna ask you a question and every time you either give me a wrong answer or no answer at all, I'm gonna shoot you" “You can't do this" Carlos says with fear in his voice "Can't I? says who?" Task and Carlos gulps from fear "Ok first question. where is Trevor hiding out?"

“I don't know" I pull the trigger but nothing happens Damn “Wanna try again?" Lask while aiming the gun in between his eyes “I swear I don't know, Trevor likes to move around a lot, he doesn't even visit Spain a lot anymore”

He says and I narrow my eyes at him He doesn't visit Spain a lot anymore which means he probably does and he's just saying this as a ruse or a red herring to stop us from looking there for him “Why have you got a blueprint of my home?" “1 don't.” I don't even wait for him to finish and I pull the trigger “Try again” “Ok fine, Trevor is temperamental, I mean, he always has

been but ever since he was defeated by Klayton all those years ago, he's gotten worse and now he's like a tyrant” “gor “So, 1 wanted to curry favour with him to prevent my early demise, so I did some research and I called in a few favours, it turns out an ex-girlfriend of mine is the great, great, great-granddaughter of the guy who designed your home and she was able to give me the original blueprints to it...

AAHHHIL, fk

“You are so incredibly lucky that you were stopped before you could leave this place Carlos because if you did leave and you had put my husband, my children and my staff at risk by handing that s**t over to Trevor, I would make sure you suffered a world of pain for the rest of your miserable, pathetic life” “I can't breathe” Bullshit
