Page 36 of Hades

As he spoke, Harley noticed he still had slight bruising on his face and wondered if they were from a few weeks ago when he popped up at her house.

“I’m her sister. The Obsidian Riders are on their way. Hades might just kill you this time around.”

Harley was surprised by her taunting nature, but she shouldn’t have been. Cati had always been strong-minded and said whatever she wanted. That was part of the reason their father treated her the way he did. He liked to teach her lessons and wanted to take her down a few notches, but it clearly never worked.

Drew slowly looked Cati up and down as he licked his lips, and a cocky grin spread across his face. “I see why yo’ daddy did you dirty, ma. You fine as hell.”

Cati stopped tapping on her phone, never finishing her text to Major, as she stared at Drew, completely frozen in place by his disgusting words. Harley couldn’t explain it, but the feeling that took over her felt completely foreign to her. She had told Drew those things in confidence, back when they were locked in. Back when she was in love and enamored by him. She thought she could trust him, and she felt like a fool for always seeing the good in people.

She felt betrayed in the worst way. She felt guilt for sharing such intimate details about her sister’s life with someone who didn’t treat them with great care. She felt like she let her sister down again. Above all that, she felt pure rage course through her, hot as lava, and she was no longer in control of her movements.

Never in her thirty-four years of life had she hit someone, but she would allow Drew to pull one morefirst timeup out of her. Quick as lightning, she cocked back and hit him with a right hook, and then she followed behind with a left hook. Cati stood there stunned by his words as tears gathered and then fell from her eyes, but she snapped out of it when she saw her sister in action. She jumped in, hitting Drew wherever her fists would hit. Sage jumped on Drew’s back, and Blair kicked at his shins.

They would not let up on Drew, and for several seconds, the men he rolled up on them with sat there transfixed at seeing their boss get beat down by a bunch of chicks.

Eventually, Drew knocked Cati to the floor, further fueling Harley’s rage. All she saw was red at that point. It wasn’t until Drew had her hemmed up against a wall by her neck that she realized her girls were all held back by the men with Drew. She could barely see them because Drew’s enraged and bloodied face took up most of her view as her heart hammered in her chest.

“I don’t know what the fuck has gotten into you,” he said, squeezing her neck just enough for her to know that he could snap it if he wanted, but not enough so she couldn’t breathe. He slammed her head against the wall, causing her to shriek in pain as tears rolled down her face, and she clawed at his hand. “But you need to remember who the fuck you belong to.”

With his other hand, he felt between her legs, and she silently thanked God that she opted to wear form-fitting jeans instead of a dress tonight.

“Please,” she gasped the word out, peering at him through the tears in her eyes.

“Please what, Harley? You want me to stop? You never used to tell me to stop. You used to remember that this is my pussy.Mine.You gave this shit to me, bitch. I don’t know what the fuck has gotten into you, or who, but I’m going to have a fun time reminding you where you belong tonight.”

He squeezed her pussy, causing her to close her eyes tightly while she cried. She felt violated and in danger. She wiggled against him, but he pressed further into her body before licking her neck, causing her to shudder away from him.

“Drew, please,” she whispered, trying to push him away.

“I could fuck you right here in this club, and nobody would bat an eye. I own this city, Harley, and not even that big motorcycle riding nigga can protect you from me. Tell me, do you want me to fuck you right here in front of everyone?”

He bit her neck, causing her to cry out. “Help! Please!”

“You know I like it when you scream.” She felt Drew pulling his dick out of his pants, as her cries went unnoticed while the party went on around them.

Nausea hit her, and she felt like she was going to pass out as she felt him fumbling with the buttons on her jeans.

As mean as Hades was,it wasn’t often that he became irate. It wasn’t like it took much to get him there, but people tended to tiptoe around him, so for the most part, he was able to keep his emotions under control.

Tonight was not one of those nights as he walked through the crowded club, shoving people out of the way as he looked around for Harley. He was already under a tremendous amount of stress because it seemed like his father wasn’t making good on the deal Hades thrust upon him, the police had locked up two of his riders on some shit they didn’t do, and he’d been missing Harley like hell.

He was in the middle of going on a tirade during church at the underground when his phone alerted him that Harley hadbeen away from Major and Cati’s apartment for more than an hour. This piqued his interest because she hadn’t so much as stepped a toe out of the apartment since she got there. Hades had even shut down all her appointments with her patients. The only time she was to leave was if it was an absolute emergency or one of her clients was in labor, and even then, he planned on having a few of the riders accompany her.

Drew was becoming more unpredictable and irate since he last saw him. He was honestly more touched in the head than Hades, but in a slow kind of way. Drew didn’t use his head at all, and that became clearer to Hades as the days went on. He was sloppy, and the only thing saving him was the fact that everyone knew he had the police in his back pocket.

Unfortunately for Drew, Hades no longer cared who he had on his side. The next time he saw the nigga, he planned to put him to sleep for good. If he had to beat a murder charge by threatening his father again, he would, and he would make it more convincing, too, and if that didn’t work, he would gladly tell his story to anyone who would listen from prison. If he went down, so would Henry Ashford.

He had it all mapped out. Drew was no longer worth the stress he put Hades under, and he was ready to risk it all just to have a chance at some peace.

“What the fuck?” Major growled and then moved past Hades.

When he ran up out of the underworld, Major, Cade, and Lucifer didn’t hesitate to follow. He told them on the elevator that Harley was at some damn club, and after checking his phone, Major quickly confirmed that Cati was with her.

Hades didn’t know what Major saw, but he followed him, nearly knocking a man’s teeth out with his elbow as he pushed through the crowd, and that was when he saw it. He saw Cati hemmed up by a man. Major already had his Glock out, so he easily moved through the men guarding the section.Pussies.

Lucifer didn’t hesitate to jump in as Hades scanned the area. He recognized one of the other women as Harley’s friend, struggling against a man who held her back, and his heart hammered in his chest as his eyes followed their line of sight.

He saw Drew’s back, and he frowned, not understanding what was going on. It looked like he was pressed against a wall and struggling with something…someone. He heard Harley cry out, and everything went black after that.
