“I have your black ass. You’re straight delusional, honey. He wrote that letter to you. How on earth do you believe he belonged to you ever?” I growl.
I crack the whip at her again. She screams with her crazy ass, slipping when she tries to get away, and cracks her head on the floor. Donna cups the back of her head, rolling onto her side. She curses repeatedly, groaning. When she pulls it together, she looks at me, shooting venom with her eyes.
“You ruined my life. You’ve haunted him like a fucking plague. He used to call your name in his sleep.
“That wasn’t love. That was an unhealthy obsession with a disgusting fetish. Well, I made sure he didn’t leave me for you. Paige and Toby put an end to that. I loved him while you were off running around the world,” she says with sinister grin on her face.
“That wasn’t love. I don’t think you know how to love. You have four beautiful babies who can’t stand you. You don’t know the meaning of love.”
I crack the whip for each of the children she’s weaponized against the man I love and then again for that man. When I think of my sister and Cliff, I flick my wrist twice more.
She tries not to cry out. Her lips are trembling as she fights to hold in her tears. I have no sympathy for her.
I squat down to get eye level with her, glaring into those cold green eyes. I don’t know what Trev ever saw in her. My lip curls back over my teeth.
“Let me explain something to you. Trevor is off limits. I wasn’t playing with you when I said stay away from him. Now, you’re to stay away from him and those babies.
“If you wanted to come for me, you should have done so with guns blazing. With the knowledge that I’m no one’s bitch. I don’t play about my family or my man. This is only a taste of what I’m capable of.
“You can get touched, Donna, and if you fuck with me again, I will touch you. Whoever you were trying to call, make sure you tell them to do their research first. People come up missing fucking with me,” I hiss.
“I know people too. You’re not going to get away with this. I always get what I want,” she says in that whiny voice.
“Stop thinking you’re God. You’re not. Don’t play with me, my family, or my man. Do yourself a favor and forget all about us. Walk away, last time I’m going to tell you,” I say in a calm I don’t feel.
I stand and wield the whip, beating her ass while she flails around in the oil. When not yelping from the jacks puncturing her from the floor, I have her hollering from the crack of the whip. I keep going until I know I’ve made my point.
“We good, Donna?” I ask through a heavy breath.
“Oh, you’re good. Good and fucked,” she spits.
“Wrong answer. Val, I’m done. You said you wanted to have a chat,” I call. “You fucked up, Donna.”
“Oh, sweetheart. Your arrogance has caught up with that ass,” Val purrs as she steps into view. “Unlike you, I don’t fail an assignment. I’ve come to collect like I promised.”
All the blood drains from Donna’s face. She starts to crawl back crying out as her hands are punctured as she tries to get away.
“No, no. Not her. Please, don’t leave me here with her. I’m sorry, Jess. Help me.”
I hold my hand out for Jess’s. She moves to my side and places hers in mine. I give her fingers a gentle squeeze.
“My daddy is all I have ever had. You tried to hurt him, now you will reap what you’ve sewn. When you get to hell, know that it was me who call death to your door,” Jess says with her head lifted.
“What?” Donna gasps.
“You ladies do everything Sim says. I’ll cheek in on you in a few days,” Val says.
CHAPTER 41
I Come to Collect
Val
“I’ve waited too long for this. I’ve wanted to put hands on you since I met you and you looked at my children like they were disgusting and beneath you,” I hiss in this despicable woman’s face.
She’s suspended before me by her arms. I turn my back to her as she fights against the chains Roni and Sim used to hoist her up. Taking my knives from my bag, I unhurriedly unroll the case.
“Please,” she whimpers through her broken jaw.
“Back then I didn’t know all the things you did to my friends. Trying to have another woman violated. You’re lower than scum. You deserve everything I’m going to do to you.”
I run my fingers over my knives, trying to decide which I’ll use to fillet her with. I’m going to peel this bitch like an apple. Showing up with those babies in that car while drunk off her ass pissed me the fuck off.
