He tried to drive me off by clipping me on the side. I pressed on my brakes to get him off my side before I sped up once more. I got behind him, and before he could react, I kicked his bike with one leg.

He lost control of the back wheel, and that was enough to send him spiraling off the road. The bike fell, and he fell with it. I turned my bike around and stopped in front of him.

I watched him lie there, looking at me with wide eyes.

I smiled.

He knew what was gonna happen next.

He tried to move out of the way. I rolled the throttle back and drove the bike straight for him.

His scream was cut off short when I ran him over with my bike.

I stopped and looked back at the fucker. His eyes were wide, blood and guts pouring out from his middle, his mouth open in a soundless scream.

He wasn’t dead.

Not yet.

I fucking hoped he felt all the pain in the world.

I hopped off my bike and walked over to him, pressing my foot down on his stomach. I would have to replace my boots later.

“You can rot in hell with your bastard son and your fucking accountant,” I said.

He gurgled on his blood, and I took satisfaction from the sound.

Pulling out my phone, I texted the location for a cleanup. I had men nearby in case things got messy, and moments later, a white van pulled up.

Three minutes was all it took for him to die.

The men in the front saluted me, and I drove away. They would take care of the body.

Ryleighand I climbed out of the truck as soon as all the men were tied up.

It wasn’t long after that when two vans arrived, and they shoved all the men in there, closing the door. I didn’t ask where the van was taking those men. I didn’t care.

My eyes had been on the road Dominic had taken off on when he chased that man, anxious for when he would return to me.

Ryleigh was in Roman’s arms, crying in his chest while yelling at him, and I half laughed, half cried at the scene.

Kai hugged me.

“He’s okay,” I said, my lips trembling.

Kai nodded, wiping away the tears on his cheeks. “Yeah, he’s okay.”

We stayed there for a while, until I heard the bike engine once more, and I knew for sure it was Dominic.

I cried harder when he came into view, and he quickly shut off the bike and hurried over to us.

His eyes were filled with emotions as he saw Kai and me standing together—then he wrapped us tightly in his arms.

I broke down.
