Riggs smirks, his gaze flicking to the door. “It’s like a monster has been unleashed.”
He’s talking about my wife and I can’t even deny it because he’s spot-fucking-on.
All the pain Abbey has kept buried is spilling out, and fuck if her monster doesn’t match my own.
Following my team inside, I close the front door, finding Abbey in the living room, looming over Karl as he shakes violently in his armchair, the barrel of the gun pressed to his forehead.
“When Daniel introduced me to you, did you already know who I was to you?”
“Y-yes.”
“And you didn’t think,hey, these two are cousins, maybe it’s not a good idea if they date?”
Karl’s head twitches in a tiny shake, his eyes pleading as he stares up at my Angel, who right now, resembles more of a demon.
“D-Daniel h-had d-done exactly w-what I’d asked h-him to d-do.”
I can only see the side of my wife’s face, but the way she tilts her head to the side is fucking creepy… and hot.
“And what the fuck did you ask him to do?”
Fuck, why do I love it when she swears like that?
“M-make y-you fall i-in love with h-him. T-told h-him that c-courting y-you would help h-him to move u-up the r-ranks in the c-church.”
“It’s a cult, Karl. Call it what it is!” she yells, and he flinches.
“It’s not a c-cult, it’s a churc—”
Before any of us know what’s happening, Abbey snaps the gun to Karl’s thigh, and pulls the trigger.
He howls in agony, which is the fucking opposite reaction to what I’m having.
Fuuuck. My cock is rising like a vampire rises for the setting sun.
“Stop whining,” I snarl at Karl, flicking my eyes to JD. “Take Jols and search the house.”
They nod and slip out, leaving the living room echoing with Karl’s spluttering whimpers, his hands slick with blood as he clamps them over the gushing wound on his leg.
For a long moment, Abbey just stares at Daniel’s dad, taking in his dishevelled appearance.
He was that way when he opened the door, and clearly Abbey is thinking the same.
“Is Daniel here? Your wife?” Abbey asks, and Karl shakes his head.
“J-just m-me.”
“Whyare youhere?” Abbey lowers the gun to her side, her scrutinising gaze raking over Karl.
“I’m here because of you!” he seethes through gritted teeth, and Abbey’s brows shoot up.
“Me?” she scoffs, pointing to herself.
“You fucked everything up,” he continues. “All you had to do was marry Daniel, and this would all be over.”
Abbey is quiet for a few long beats, and then she bursts out laughing, manically.
“Oh,I’m sorry.” She slaps her hand dramatically to her chest. “I didn’t feel like marrying myfucking cousin!”
