Page 67 of Kian's Devotio
Karalee yelled out, “Stop! Don’t hurt him! What do you want Carlos?”
Carlos stepped away from him, “I want you to get your ass here and for you to pay your debts like your mom promised, and if you don’t I will kill him and send you parts of his body after I send you the video of his death.”
Karalee sucked in a breath and Kian called out, “Kara, don’t. DO NOT come here!”
Carlos punched him in the stomach again and Kian doubled over in the chair, “Kian!” She cried out and then said, “Stop it! I will come.”
Kian groaned, “Kara, no. Please don’t.”
Karalee said, “I have to.”
Then Carlos pulled his hair up and put a piece of duct tape on his mouth, “He will still live, but not for long. Get your ass here now.”
Then he hung up and turned to Kian.
“Lying? Oh, that is rich.”
Kian squirmed in his chair and Carlos got in his face again, “If she doesn’t come in the next two days, I will kill you and dump your body in the woods. Never to be found.”
Then he turned and left. Kian hung his head, hating that he had been found and his only thought was that he hoped the cops would hurry.
He could only pray that Gray wasn’t discovered out back and that they could keep Karalee safe if she did show up.
