Page 102 of The Saviors: Part Two
Axel snaps at that, and his fists start flying. Axel usually holds onto his temper because he knows the damage he can do with just his hands. We step back so he can let all the anger, sadness, and frustration go. When Axel steps back, Brady’s eye is already swelling shut, and blood is dripping down his face. “That’s my queen you’re talking about. You never deserved to breathe the same air as someone like her.”
While we wait on word from Les, we make sure Brady doesn’t get a moment’s peace before his last breath. We take turns cutting, punching, or kicking him.
Brady will be sent straight to hell with the memory not to fuck with the Saviors.

It feels like it takes forever to finally get word from Les, but in reality, it’s less than an hour. I’m pacing the floor, waiting for the guys to come upstairs, when Kai walks around the corner. His eyes look different, and his hands are balled into fists.
I walk over to him but keep my distance. Not because I’m scared of him. I can sense that he doesn’t want to be touched right now. “He’s ready for you,” he finally says.
“Kai,” I say softly. “Are you okay?”
His brows furrow. “Yeah. Why?”
“You don’t seem like it. Do you need something?”
Kai stares at me for a long moment then he shudders a breath. “I will be. I don’t like that he’s still breathing.” Kai pulls his Glock from the holster and hands it to me. “It’s not a pretty sight.” He takes my other hand and leads me down to the basement. When we walk in, I have to stifle the gasp when I see what they’ve done to Brady.
The skin on his chest is peeled down, his face is bloody, swollen, and bruised. When I see the marks on his back, tears fill my eyes. They’ve put one in every place that matches mine, and even if it makes me fucked up, I love them even more for it. Brady looks up at me from his one good eye, and even with his mangled face, I can see the sneer.
“If it isn’t the fat whore.”
Axel goes to move, and I step forward. “Leave us.”
“Cupcake…”
“Leave. Us. I need this, Axel. Please.”
They each kiss the top of my head on the way out of the door. Axel steps in front of me and grabs my face. “If at any point you don’t want to do this, don’t. It won’t make you weak. It makes you human. If you do go through with it, aim for the head.” He gives me a long lingering kiss, and with one last glare at Brady, he shuts the door behind him.
I drag over a chair and sit down, going over my options. Brady doesn’t say a word, but I know he’s waiting on me to say something first. Finding out Amber really did betray me broke my damn heart, which I knew it would. For two years, she pretended to be my friend and worried about my well-being. Now I know it’s all bullshit, and the last two years of my life feel like a goddamn lie. I stare into Brady’s cold blue eyes and feel myself getting ready for what I know I have to do.
“What did I do to deserve what you did to me?”
“You were a job. Plain and simple. Charlie said to keep you occupied. He didn’t give a fuck what I did to you.”
“Do you realize that your own mother is the one who gave up your location so my guys could find me? She wants you dead. That makes you a monster, but you really don’t care, do you?”
“No. Now shut your fat fucking mouth and end this.”
I jump from the chair, and it hits the floor with a crash. Every time he raped me, hit me, cut me, burned me, comes back in rapid succession like I’m living it all over again. But I don’t turn into the cowardly girl that I was. I’m fuckingpissed.I pull the trigger, and it hits my intended target. His knee shatters, and the scream he lets out sends chills down my spine.
“You don’t get to talk to me like that anymore! I built myself up fromnothing. You still had to suck Charlie’s cock to get what you wanted.”
“I didn’t—”
“SHUT UP! It’s my turn to talk, you sniveling fucking coward! You thought you won, but you underestimated the sheer fucking love those men have for me. I knew without a doubt they would track you to the ends of the earth.”
Tears are rolling down my face, but they’re angry tears. It feels almost like a release valve has been hit, and all the hateful shit he ever said and did to me is bleeding out. It’s allowing me to focus on the good things my guys have put into my head. It makes me truly believe that I’m beautiful enough, smart enough, and strong enough to be who they need me to be. It makes me realize that they need me as much as I need them. No matter how close this whole thing came to breaking me after Axel and Cole left, it also brought them back to me. It brought me Sean, Kai, and Nolan. My hell turned into my own personal paradise when I first saw Sean’s blue eyes. If you had told me six months ago I would have been in this place, I would have laughed in your face. I was content with being alone, but after I met Sean and Kai, I knew that was bullshit. Sean saved my life, and he doesn’t even realize it.
“I wanted to march down here and just end you. I thought when I saw what they did to you, I would be disgusted.” I move closer so I’m right in his face. “I wish it was worse,” I hiss.
“You don’t understand how bad I wanted to strangle you in your sleep when we were married. But Charlie said you were a means to an end. I hope you meet your demise when Charlie gets his final revenge.” He puckers up like he’s going to spit in my face, and I roughly shove the Glock in his mouth. His eyes widen when he realizes that I’m not playing anymore. His teeth clank against the barrel, and I laugh.
“You don’t know how good this feels. You wanted to break me, but all it did was make mestronger. You not only underestimated the guys, but you also underestimatedme. Hell isn’t a hot enough place for you, Brady. While you’re burning in the eternal flames, I’m going to be living my life as a wife with guys who know how to treat me right. Guys that love me. Guys whowantme. I thought you were crazy, but in reality, you’re pathetic. You had to take your anger out on a woman because you could never stand up against a real man. After you’re dead, I’ll make sure I cover every scar on my body so I never have to think of you again. Say hi to Charlie when he gets to hell.”
