Page 44 of Reaper's Rival

Because I had just lost the love of my life, and worse, I had broken his heart. What the hell have I become? Daniels finally answered his phone, and I had to focus on the business at hand and not the fact that I just killed the only good thing in my life and made the only man I ever cared about leave me.

Chapter 12

Kim

I was worried about my sister. Not only had she broken it off with Reaper nearly a month ago, she had gone completely off the grid. She hadn’t been seen around the club at all. I actually doubted she was even staying here, and I think that made it worse for Reaper as I filled up his shot glass.

He wasn’t taking the whole not having Abby thing really well. He was drinking to the point of passing out in the bar. When he wasn’t drinking, he was making reckless choices. Like overtaking a police car doing double the speed limit.

“So have you seen Abby?” I asked him, putting the bottle down.

“Nope, and don’t really give a fuck.” He threw the shot back. He might have wiped his hand of my sister, but I hadn’t.

“This new guy she is seeing, what’s his name?” I asked. She hadn’t answered one of my messages or picked up any of my calls. All I knew was she had completely lost her mind and was breaking up with the man she loves and dating some nobody. I had knocked on her door at all times of the day and night, and not once had she answered.

She was up to something. But I didn’t know what that something was, and Reaper was useless when it came to information.

I glanced up and then I saw someone enter the bar that should know better than to be seen here.

“WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE? HAVE YOU GOT A DEATH WISH?” I screamed across the bar at Daniels.

He just gave me a smug look and had the guts to walk toward me.

“Nice to see you too, Kim,” he said. Like I was his friend!

“What are you doing here?” I asked again.

Why did Reaper suddenly look like a starved, crazy, feral animal that hadn’t eaten in days?

“He is picking me up.” Abby walked into the bar, acting like she hadn’t been missing for a month.

“Where the hell have you been? You could have answered at least one of my calls. We had no idea where you were. We have been worried sick.” I pushed the bottle of liquor toward Reaper because he looked physically sick right now.

“Dad’s known where I was.” She frowned. “So I don’t see why you are so upset.”

“You don’t know why I’m upset? You’ve basically disappeared! And now you suddenly reappear, but it is only to go out with this scum! I thought you had a boyfriend!”

“That would be me, Kim.” Daniels smirked.

I whacked Reaper on the arm. “Are you hearing this shit? Do something!” Abby was his. He should drag her away from him. Hell, I would do the dragging, he can do the beating up Daniels part.

Reaper looked up at me. “Not my problem anymore.” He threw back the shot and put it out for me to refill it.

“Well, if you have washed your hands of her, we haven’t. DAD! DAD!” I roared at the top of my lungs. I kept yelling till he burst out of his office doors.

“What the hell, Kim?” He looked as furious as I felt.

“Abby is dating Daniels. Blake’s right hand. Have you got an opinion on this?” Was I the only one seeing how insane this was? They attempted to kill Abby and now shit, she was back with them. For what? Someone had to stop it.

Dad looked from Abby to Daniels and sighed.

“Have a good night, Abby,” he said, deflated.

My mouth dropped open. You could not be serious right now! Abby nodded her head and went to Daniels. They were going to leave when I ran down the bar and stood firm in the doorway.

“You’ve already made this mistake once, Abby. Don’t make it again.” I was pleading with her to see reason. The man she loves is drowning himself in liquor and she is off running around with a gang member! “Whatever he has on you. This isn’t worth it.”

“He doesn’t have anything on me.” She frowned and looked at me as if I was the crazy one. “Daniels is a good guy. Him and I, well…”She looked at him.
