Erik
A ndrew decided he wanted to play hero when Kayleigh was in the hospital and wanted to come see her, but luckily before he could, he was caught by the O’Sullivans and brought where he could answer for his crimes.
Today is the day that we get to end all of the Gordan family. Originally it was only going to be Andrew and Elizabeth, but neither Peter nor I wanted to take a chance of any of the family coming back for revenge. It is time to put these demons to rest for Kayleigh once and for all so she can start healing.
I pull the SUV up to the address Peter sent me; he told me he had his men gather all the members of the Gordan family. Andrew, Elizabeth, her husband, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Luckily for the grandparents, they have already passed away. I get out of the SUV with Darius at my side. Rowan stayed back to keep guard with my men who are keeping an eye on Kayleigh and the other O’Sullivan woman.
Cillian greets us at the door. He silently opens it, and the sight in front of me tickles my stone-cold heart. I see Andrew’s aunts, uncles, and cousins on their knees with their hands tied behind their backs and mouths gagged, with tears running down their eyes. My eyes scan for the husband who has his head down like he is defeated. If this has him feeling that way, what is he going to do when the real fun starts?
And then I see Elizabeth, who is tied and gagged like the other members in the family except she is on her side, thrashing around, screaming through the rag. I see why she is upset. Seems like they decided to treat Andrew the same way I found Kayleigh. Fucking good. He can stay like that so that his family and all the men around us can see it. He is tied, blindfolded, with his ankles and wrists tied to the metal cage that is way too small for him. The metal bars are digging into his skin. I requested a cage with two doors; that way, when I use the toy Emilia sent me just for dealing with this fucker, it will be easier for me.
I have to admit, I was a bit weak in the stomach when I opened it and saw what it was, but Emilia promised me this would have him regretting ever laying a finger on Kayleigh and make him wish he had never set eyes on her.
“Well, look at what we have here.” Andrew looks up but swings his head around, trying to find where my voice is coming from while the rest of his family looks up at me with dread on their faces.
“Take his blindfold off. I want him to see everything and know that, because of his actions, his whole family is going to die.” Keegan fucks with him by running a knife down his cheek. Andrew cries out and tries to move away, but Keegan has too strong a grip on his hair. He slips the knife under the blindfold before he pushes it against the fabric, and it is so quiet in the room that the fabric tearing sounds like someone did it in a megaphone.
“Who are you?” Andrew asks.
“I’m glad you asked. Erik Duncan, also known as Kayleigh O’Sullivan’s future husband and the father to our unborn child.”
“She was cheating on me?” he yells angrily.
“She never did. Kayleigh is loyal; not that you deserved any of her loyalty. She deserves better than you and she found it with me. At least I know I can pleasure her. You, on the other hand, give off all talk and no action along with small dick energy. Tell me, Andrew. Do you have a shrimp dick?” I see all the men in her family look they want to strangle me, but I’m purposely trying to rile this fucker up.
“Fuck you.”
“I wouldn’t fuck you with a ten-foot pole. I’m going to ask you some questions, and if you don’t answer, you will suffer the consequences.”
“I’m not telling you shit.”
“Okay then,” I say, shooting his mother in the stomach. She was going to bleed out from her stomach anyway.
“You monster!”
“I told you there would be consequences. Now, tell me why you blackmailed Kayleigh.”
“Easy, her family is rich.”
“You are a fucking doctor; how much richer do you want to be?”
“The richest man in the world.”
I sigh, cracking my knuckles, stopping me from strangling this motherfucker.
“Are you telling me you put Kayleigh through hell for months just because you are a greedy son of a bitch?”
“Well, yes. I couldn’t go blackmail the Blakewell’s; no one can ever gain access to the women in their family. I tried. The wives are never allowed to leave their estate unless it’s to go to events I can never get invited to. Supposedly there is an illegitimate niece of Archibald, but no one knows where she is.”
“You really are a piece of shit. Did you think you would never get caught?” Oscar asks from across the room.
“Doesn’t matter. Even when I’m dead, she will still think of me, and it is all thanks to you.”
“You sent your friend to be killed?” Oscar asks.
“Yes. He didn’t know I was sending him to be killed, but that was the physical evidence I needed to make Kayleigh do everything I said.” He smirks, but I watch as his face pales when I lift my gun and shoot his cousin in the head.
“I fucking answered your damn question. Why did you shoot him?” Andrew snarls.
“Do you think gloating about what you did to Kayleigh would go unpunished?”
“Fucking asshole,” he snarls, and I shoot his aunt next.
“I would advise you to be very careful, but it doesn’t matter to me. None of you will be leaving here alive.”
“All because of that stupid bitch?” Elizabeth snarls. I turn my attention to her and walk over and kick her in the stomach. She chokes on her blood. “You are a fucking evil.”
“No, that is your son.”
“My Andrew is not evil. Look at what you are doing to my sweet boy.”
“Lady, you are delusional. You heard what he did to Kayleigh, and the way he is right now is how I found Kayleigh when I went to rescue her. But in addition to being tied, gagged, and blindfolded, she had headphones on and was in a dark closet. She was dehydrated and malnourished. So your sweet boy is a sick motherfucker who will be killed and punished for everything he has done wrong to her. He was stupid enough to come after Kayleigh, and not only did he have the O’Sullivan Mafia coming after him but my Mafia. He should count his blessings her best friend isn’t here. That woman can have even the scariest man puking his guts out.”
“Women are weak,” Andrew states.
“Tell me if you feel the same after I use this on you. This was created just for you by her best friend. A diabolical little thing. Don’t you agree, Peter?” I ask, holding up the dildo shredder. I watch as the men in the room shake from fear while Peter laughs.
“He will be changing his tune; I have heard rumors about what that does to people. Can’t think of a better person for a demonstration,” he says, rubbing his hands together.
I walk around and open the back side of the cage. Andrew tries to move his head around to see what I’m doing, but he can’t. I put the gloves on before spreading his cheeks and ramming the dildo inside Andrew’s ass.
“AH! STOP!”
“Did you stop when Kayleigh begged you? No, you didn’t, so no, I won’t stop,” I say as I turn it on. I watch as blood starts to run down his legs.
“Stop!” he begs, but I close the cage, ignoring his pleas.
“Erik, do you mind if I have a turn with him because of what he did? I lost time with my wife and son,” Oscar asks.
“Go for it,” I tell him and step back to watch as Oscar grabs the shock collar and secures it around Andrew’s neck. He reaches in the cage and, using Andrew’s hair, yanks his face up until his neck is at an awkward angle.
“I know you don’t feel sorry for what you did. You took almost two years away from my family, and I promised my wife I would always take care of anything that threatens our family. As I see it, you are a threat to them. Now, your death gets to be on Erik’s hands, but I will make sure you feel pain for all the pain you caused me and my wife.”
He lets go of Andrew before stepping back. I watch as he turns on the shock collar, and Andrew body shakes for twenty seconds until Oscar turns it off. Andrew relaxes, but he should know we are the Mafia and one time being shocked would never be enough. Oscar turns it on again, and blood starts to seep from Andrew’s nose. Then I watch as Oscar grabs a bucket of acid and pours it on Andrew’s exposed back.
“AHHHHH!” he screams, trying to move to ease the pain.
“All yours,” Oscar says to me as he puts away the bucket.
I turn my attention to the other O’Sullivan men. “Anyone else want a turn?”
Cillian steps up with a knife in his hand. He carves rapist deep into his forehead. Andrew tries to fight against him, but I come up and hold him by his hair. Aiden and Keegan both cut into his feet and ribs, rubbing salt into his wounds. Apparently, this is Keegan’s first time participating in torturing someone. He has watched and has killed someone with a gun, but drawn-out torture like this, he has only gotten to watch until now. I admire Peter, who told me this earlier. He says he wants to preserve his boys’ childhoods as much as possible while still teaching them about the Mafia and keeping them safe. Something I want to do with my child.
Peter looks to the rest of Andrew’s family and asks each of them, “Did you know about Andrew’s plan for blackmailing and torturing Kayleigh or Elizabeth’s plan to shoot Kayleigh?” I watch as each of them admit they knew about at least one part of the plans. Without blinking an eye after that, he shoots all of them in the head.
Elizabeth cries and chokes as she watches her husband fall to the ground.
I step up to her, holding my knife and shoving it in her bullet hole then cutting up all the way to her throat. Time to speed her death up.
“Mom!” Andrew hoarsely cries before his screams turn into sobs.
“Elizabeth, don’t you see what your son did? Because of his demented head and his greed, your whole family has been erased.”
“Not all of them.”
“Oh, are you talking about your daughter who is in the hospital for cancer? Where you have put her through one experimental drug after another and left her in so much pain. That daughter?”
“What did you do?”
“I gave her a pill so she could stop hurting. I may be an asshole, but I won’t let the innocent suffer.”
“Look what you did to my family,” she says motioning to her family.
“No, they got bullets to the head. I could have easily sliced their throats and left them to choke on their own blood. But no, it was quick and painless. But you and Andrew do not get that privilege.”
“Bastard,” she barely gets out as she coughs on the blood pouring from her mouth.
“Mom. Please, Mom.” She smiles at Andrew before her eyes start to flutter closed.
“MOM! Save her, please.”
I snicker at him, “She is getting everything she deserves.”
“NOOOOO!” he wails.
I look at my watch. I need to wrap this up so I can be back before the OB/GYN comes to check on Kayleigh. I grab some gasoline and pour it over Andrew’s back, which is enough for one more scream before he passes out. I will give him a few minutes while I pour gasoline throughout the cabin and the other men clear out.
Once I’m done, I smack Andrew conscious.
“AH!”
“Good morning, sunshine. Hope you enjoyed your nap. Now you can watch as you and your family are burned to ashes. And while you are waiting for your death, remember this is all your fault. I hope the pain you have caused them was worth it.”
“Please. I’m sorry.” I walk behind him and yank the dildo from his body and put it into the bag that I will have destroyed later. Can’t be leaving evidence behind.
“Sorry isn’t good enough. Enjoy burning in hell.” I light the match and toss it at him. I walk out of the cabin, locking it behind me. Andrew’s wails quickly get lost in the roar of the fire.
I walk back to the SUV and, with my back against it, sit in silence as I watch the cabin burn to the ground. Then I check my phone again.
“Need to be somewhere?” Peter asks.
“Kayleigh’s OB/GYN is coming in an hour.”
“Go. We will stay until it is nothing but ashes and make sure the fucker died.”
“Thanks.”
“Not doing this for you but for Kayleigh,” he says with a smirk. He wants to keep pretending he’s mad. I get in my SUV with my men and head back to the estate.
Peter
After we all get back to the estate, I head up to my bathroom to wash the smell of gasoline and fire off me. I’m halfway undressed when I see Grace slumped over the toilet getting sick again.
“Grace,” I say gently as I sit down next to her and pull her hair back as I rub my other hand up and down her back. It takes her a few minutes to stop getting sick. She lays her head on the toilet seat while I grab a washcloth to clean her face.
“Are you okay?”
“Of course.”
“Grace. You have been getting sick for weeks; I’m calling Adam.”
“I can’t worry the children, especially Kayleigh.”
“Then we get the answers, and we figure out where to go after that,” I tell her. No matter what she says, she is being seen. No way can I sit back as my wife withers away.
“Okay.”
“Good, come wash your mouth out, and then we will have a shower while we wait for Adam.”
“Smells like you need one.”
“Yeah, Erik decided to end it by burning the cabin.”
“He’s dead?”
“The whole family is. We couldn’t risk any of them coming back to hurt her.”
“Good, she has been through enough. Good thing she now has Erik who will protect her.”
“Yeah, only reason the asshole is alive. Come on,” I tell her after turning the water on and undressing both of us.
