Page 147 of Property of Stone
This was a disaster. She had no idea how to stop it. Or even if she wanted to.
Vic would end up dead.
Stone might end up in prison.
Sunny could end up without either parent.
Wren would be devastated about losing his father.
All because of her.
No.
Vic started down this careening path by going off the deep end and taking his anger about their custody fight out on her.Hewas the reason.
What he did to Taryn was wrong.
Kidnapping Stone’s daughter and using her as a pawn was even worse.
It was unforgivable.
Stone was right.
And she’d been wrong to simply try to do the right thing.
That threat needed to be removed from their lives once and for all.
Stone glancedat the dumb motherfucker’s most recent text.
Did Gentry really think Stone would show up with only Wren? Exactly what he was demanding?
The fucking insane part was Gentry thought he was in a position to make demands. He was going to quickly find out he wasn’t.
The Kings were in charge.
Taryn’s ex would soon learn that nobody fucked with the Kings.
He didn’t learn the first time in the Shoppes at Susquehanna’s parking lot.
He didn’t learn the second time from Stone’s face-to-face warning.
The third time would be the last time.
Gentry’s time had run out. No more lessons, no more warnings.
Making sure he stayed out of view, Stone sent a text to his daughter’s phone:Here w/ ur kid. Send out my girl & I’ll send him in.
Stone doubted the asshole would fall for that trap, but it would give his brothers enough time for a sneak attack.
The place Asshole wanted to meet was nowhere near other humans. Great for Stone, stupid on Gentry’s part.
Of course, Stone assumed Sunny’s kidnapper was alone.
Gentry assumed that Stone was alone, too, since that was one of his demands.
While Taryn’s ex was a lone soldier, he would soon find out that Stone had an army at his back. They only needed to get to Sunny before Gentry figured that out and hurt her.
Half of his brothers stayed nearby but out of sight. The other half quietly moved around to the back of the abandoned hunting cabin.
