Chapter 31 Sinister Plot
Present Day
Sade
It takes every single ounce of all of my self-discipline, and restraint to not walk in there and kill her. The protocols have been activated and I have to allow those to play out. I can simply not wrap my mind around the fact that all 3 of them were willing to sell Rain.
So, if I had not come home unexpectedly, to enact the plans I have been making for us for years, they would have found her here alone, which no doubt they expected to. Then what? Were they just going to cart her off? What about her friends? Zoey knows that she has 2 close friends with whom she often does things, so did she expect they wouldn't come asking any questions? I had made allowances and had plans in place for that, so, perhaps they did also.
I focus back on listening to the conversation, “Yes, I know, Father. Well, selling her as a virgin was a much bigger payout, maybe we don’t have to tell them she’s not still one. Do they do some physical exam for that shit? Well since she has no problems fucking her own brother, she shouldn’t have issues with spreading her legs for all the others, so they could still make good money off of her. I’m sure that it’s still doable. I will keep watching, but you might have to coordinate with him to send more guys, so they can take down Sade so he can’t interfere, or make sure they have enough guns, I wouldn’t even mind if they killed his ass.”
I had my hand on the wall just holding myself back, but I was also thinking. So, they already had a plan in place to come and take her and sell her. They had a group of armed men who were planning to come and take her. So, now I needed to update him when he contacted me, I would have to arm myself and be prepared.
“Well, obviously I told Angela to alert the staff that the leave is cancelled and they will be back in the morning, so do you want me to send the car to pick you guys up at the airport? What time? Okay, so I’ll have Pete there by 11, so he’ll be there when you land. It’s the same hanger as before right?” She paused and I just breathed.
“Okay, then we’re all set, we’ll finalize the whole thing as soon as you are here in the morning.” I heard her hang up and sigh a huge sigh like she’d been so upset about her plans being interrupted.
I turned, and as silently as I could, which I had learned to be very silent, I went back upstairs. Then I pulled out my laptop from my room. I also looked in on Rain who was still just sitting there, not really moving. This was starting to really worry me. Perhaps it was actually best to change the timeline and have us leave sooner. We had to wait until everything wrapped up tomorrow, but after that, there were only a couple of loose ends, and I could take care of those separately.
I pulled up the camera feeds for the kitchen. I watched the whole thing again, seeing red, and wishing I was bathing in her blood all over again, and having to reel in my predator with the knowledge that we would be taking care of it.
I made a copy of that section of the video, then I sent it to an encrypted e-mail address. He would be able to see that before he contacted me. Then I went back into the room and sat next to Rain on the bed. I turned the TV on to a show I knew she really liked, so that she could focus on something, because I needed to get ready and be ready just in case they tried anything tonight.
I put on my work clothes, pulled my hair up, and had my guns strapped to me. Then I had Rain take care of her personal needs while I kept watch. She still hadn’t spoken a word. After she was done with all of that, I pulled her to the top of the bed and wrapped her in my arms. I sat up with my back to the headboard, just holding her against me, and watching and listening for any stupid ass mother fuckers who thought they had a chance in hell to come in here and try to take my woman.
By 6am, I began to hear the familiar stirrings around the house that signaled the staff was coming back in, and assuming their regular duties once more. I could hear muffled pots and pans, so the cook was here and fixing breakfast.
So, now I just had to wonder if the staff would be stupid and give me additional things I needed to clear up, or if they would stay down there and keep their mouths closed. No doubt they would get the message loud and clear soon enough. Angela, the one who contacted Zoey, would most certainly be dealt with.
I hear Zoey’s voice as she complains about this or that, as per her usual behavior. She’d come up to her room very early this morning, and I hadn’t even bothered to lay my eyes on her. I was just waiting. She said the real estate agent would be here this morning at 10 and an hour before Pete is due at the hangar to collect the parents.
I hear a doorbell at 10:02, and hear Zoey speaking to another woman, who is gushing about the house and its marketability. They are walking around the house to different locations. I pull the blanket up over Rain, who I am still holding in my arms. She slept for a while, then I took care of whatever she needed and pulled her back to my chest again. Knowing that she is potentially in danger, I won’t let her out of my arms, not unless I need to start killing people.
“Don’t worry about them, they’ll be gone very soon, and this room will be cleaned out,” Zoey tells the real estate agent when they come to look at the rooms.
I hear Zoey getting more and more agitated downstairs, “I’m sorry, they were supposed to already be here, I sent the car to the hangar to retrieve them. They must be caught in traffic or something, I’m not sure why there’s no answer on the cell phone. How about you just take the information you already have, and get to work on getting the house listed?” The real estate agent leaves after that.
Zoey paces and yells, cussing at this and that or this person or that person. Then there’s the doorbell.
I smirk, because it has now begun.
