Chapter 72
Harlow
A daughter.
For years, Vincenzo only talked about having a family with me. He wanted me to have his baby, and now there was another girl out there who he brutalized?”
“You’re lying. You said you only wanted a baby with me.”
He laughed weakly. “I wanted a family with you. You should be lucky you are my favorite. I could never give you away. I had a debt to pay, so I got another girl pregnant and gave the baby to a friend.”
“Where is she?” I demanded.
“I’m a dead man, why would I ever tell you?”
A debt and a baby. Oh my God. “Caterina. Harmony. When Serenity was attacked and Akim was behind it.” I looked at Vincenzo. “You gave your daughter to Akim Bolkov.”
“Why does he want a child?” Caterina asked.
“He has plans. I could care less.” Vincenzo chuckled. “Her mother was a wild ride, though. Second best pussy I had the pleasure of diving into.”
My fists clenched, but I needed to keep my composure. “What is the girl’s name? Did you take her too?”
“No clue. She was willing and eager,” he exaggerated, which made me wonder if it was true or not. “Found her in a bar, fucked her senseless all night until she was screaming my name.”
I narrowed my eyes. “Why would anyone willingly sleep with you?”
“She did. Her ID was fake, and she was young. A month later, she found out she was pregnant, and then I kidnapped her. She was in our home.”
I told Caterina in New York about another girl Vincenzo had. I always thought I was crazy or maybe it was my mind playing tricks on me. Part of me believed it was one of the maids he trapped in the basement to abuse. Vincenzo treated his staff horribly and allowed his men to hurt his younger maids.
“She had that bastard child in the basement. She heard you scream when I fucked you, thought I’d do the same to her. I’d never hurt the mother of my children.”
I narrowed my eyes on him. “We’re going to find her and Harmony, and we will protect them from Akim and everyone else. Your empire is ruined, Vincenzo, and no one will ever bring you back from the grave.”
I stepped behind him once more, my hand gripped the crowbar and my body trembling with anticipation. I never thought I would have revenge, but even this was too easy on him. Vincenzo would die and we would slowly fix everything he destroyed, starting with this girl and her daughter.
“S-stupid whore,” Vincenzo hissed as his body tensed.
“Don’t worry. Your body was made for this. I mean, just look at how wet you are,” I mocked. “You want this. Just accept it.” And with the help of Caterina, I shoved the crowbar deep inside him.
Vincenzo screamed in agony, blood gushing from him as I moved to face him. I went a little too hard with the penetration, and the crowbar penetrated through his groin. His penis was still intact, and I could finish what I wanted to do.
“You fucking bitch! I’m going to fucking kill you!”
I hit him again in the dick this time. “No. I’m going to kill you. How does it feel? Huh!” I hit him again. “I’m going to enjoy this.”
Caterina handed me a serrated knife and watched me intently. She wanted to help me, but I needed to do this. Vincenzo was beaten. I won the battle and I was about to win the war. I just needed to do one more thing to have victory over the man who took so much from me.
“God, fuck,” he hissed. “F-fucking whore.”
I pressed the edge of the blade to his skin, digging in. “Welcome to the end of your life.” I twisted the words he told me and my mother when he first took us. “This is what happens to men who abuse and rape women.”
I moved the knife faster until the useless appendage was separated from his body and his blood soaked through my clothes. Vincenzo’s screams became pained whimpers as I held his severed cock and looked at Caterina. I loved this woman so goddamn much.
“Try not to choke on your cock and take it like the good boy you are,” I teased in the same tone he used with me years ago.
Caterina gripped his jaw, forcing his mouth open and I shoved his cock into his mouth, forcing it deep until he was gagging.
“You didn’t win. You think you broke me, but I am stronger than ever. Burn in fucking hell.”
He was still alive, and my boys needed fun.
I looked at Titus, who was waiting like a good boy.
“Titus.” Caterina handed me her laser pointer, and I pointed at Vincenzo’s hip.
“Attack.” I stepped out of the way and Titus ran for him, his teeth sinking into his hip and tearing a chunk of flesh. “Good boy.”
Vincenzo was screaming, but it was muffled by his cock sliding down his throat. “Lucifer.” I pointed the laser at his throat. “Attack.” Lucifer leaned back before lunging forward and jumping up. He growled, as his body wiggled. “Back.” With my sweet baby came a spray of blood and one final scream.
“Your ruthless tyranny ends here.”
I stood still for a long time watching him, waiting for the moment when he would revive.
The moment when this would be a dream, and I woke up trapped once more.
When he took his final breath, it felt like I finally inhaled for the first time in ten years.
I knew I was safe with Caterina when she took me, but with Vincenzo still alive, I was never truly safe.
But now, I was. My monster was dead. He was finally dead.
