Chapter 127 A Joy Mixed with Blood
Jonathan smiled and hugged Elizabeth. He gave her a soft kiss and let the tears roll down.

“My beauty, I would never joke about this. I thought about telling you only at home, but I couldn’t contain my happiness.”

Elizabeth touched her belly and Jonathan placed his hand over hers. They cried together with happiness.

“My God, Jonathan! I had an accident… Our baby, is our baby okay?”

“Calm down, everything is fine… It will be dawn soon and we’ll go home. We’ll schedule an appointment for you. I want to know how my son or daughter is…”

After a few hours, Elizabeth was discharged. She would go home and rest. She promised to strictly follow the medical instructions.

Meanwhile, Adam intercepted a car in a residential neighborhood. He blocked the man’s car, who got out angry.

“You lunatic! Do you want to cause an accident?”

Adam got out and leaned against the car. He didn’t need to say anything else. The man knew this was a collection. He turned to his own car. It was possible to notice there were two other people inside. The man followed Adam silently.

“Very good, Mr. Conner. Coming of your own free will was indeed a good decision,” Adam said while driving.

“Wolf, I know your reputation. If they called you, it’s because the Larson family has lost patience with me. I know my debt is high and I don’t mind dying, but not in front of my family…”

“As you wish…” Adam laughed sideways. He didn’t need to reveal that this wasn’t the end for the man. He would just give him a scare in his warehouse.

Adam was passing with the man when Katryna saw him arrive. She put on a short dress and tied up her hair. Katryna found Adam’s work exciting. She liked to watch and even asked to help. Katryna became intoxicated with the feeling of power over another person’s life.

As soon as Adam entered the warehouse, Katryna followed him.

“Katryna, I’m working! Not now!” Adam didn’t like interference. He strictly followed the orders given to him.

“Come on, Mr. Conner. You have a high debt with the Larson family. Have you found a way to pay it?”

“Sir, I paid for my son’s surgery with that money. I had no other way to pay for his surgery. Right now I don’t have everything, but I’ll get it…”

Adam went to the bench and heated a knife with a blowtorch. The tied man began to sweat. He swallowed hard, thinking he would die in the worst possible way, but at least his son was healthy and would live.

Adam made a cut on the man’s arm and he screamed in pain.

“Tell me, Conner. Is Larson going to get his debt? Will you really pay him?”

“Mr. Wolf, I promise to sell everything I have if I leave here… I’ll see about a loan in my wife’s name. We’ll try to pay, but I need to be alive for that.”

Adam heard the words that would give him the necessary opening to stop.

“I’ll let you go, but pay part of the debt still this week. That way you’ll gain time to get the rest of the money.”

Katryna was outraged. How could Adam let the man leave with just a cut on his arm? That didn’t seem like the American Torturer. Even if it was a simple collection, Adam always went far beyond that.

“Adam, what the fuck is this? Just that?” Katryna questioned.

“Shut your mouth and don’t get involved!” Adam didn’t go further because that was how Jonathan had asked. He was fulfilling what had been requested in the job.

“I am getting involved… Now this idiot is going to leave here and say how weak you are.”

“That’s not going to happen,” Adam said, looking at the still-tied man.

“Wait, darling… I noticed something. I have a surprise for you,” Katryna said and left. She returned dragging a woman, and clinging to that woman was a crying boy.

“Katryna, what do you think you’re doing?” Adam asked.

“Let’s keep it simple. Kill her, or if you want, I’ll kill her. That way he’ll stay alive to pay the debt…”

“No, please! Kill me! Don’t hurt my wife,” the man shouted desperately. Things were getting out of control. Adam hadn’t noticed that the woman in the car had followed him. She was at the entrance of his house with the child. Katryna had taken her from the car and brought her to the warehouse.

Adam grabbed Katryna by the arm and spoke close to her.

“What the fuck is this, Katryna? You know I don’t hurt women…”

“It’s time to change that, Adam. You’re losing respect… You’re really losing your touch. I’m saving your position and your reputation. I saw what my father was capable of doing and you’re not even half of him…”

Katryna ran her hand over Adam’s arm. She knew well how to use seduction to get what she wanted. All these years Adam found himself enchanted by her, and when they were together, Katryna found a way to add something to Adam’s work, making him even crueler. She rewarded him in bed when he crossed his own limits.

“Darling, allow yourself… When you hear her screams, think of me moaning for you. You’ll like it, and if I think you’ve reached your limit, I’ll stop you myself…”

Meanwhile, Jonathan was passing through the condominium reception carrying Elizabeth in his arms.

“Jonathan, the neighbors are going to start thinking I can’t walk. You’re always carrying me up and down…”

“I love having you in my arms, and at this moment I’m carrying my wife and my son at the same time.”

He went upstairs with Elizabeth and placed her on the bed. He went back and locked the door before getting on the bed and kissing her. Jonathan lay on top of her and pulled Elizabeth’s shirt. It was actually his shirt. Elizabeth had worn it just to leave the hospital.

“Jonathan, wait! Jonathan!” Elizabeth called him, laughing between kisses.

Jonathan stopped and lay down beside her. He was smiling and found Elizabeth’s smile.

“Do you want to go to the bathtub? Do you want to take a bath first?” Jonathan asked.

“I’m tired. I think it’s the effect of the sedative. I want to sleep a little…”

“To tell the truth, I’m tired too. How about a bath and then rest?”

“I loved the idea… Can you prepare the bathtub with the salts I like?”

Jonathan gave Elizabeth a kiss and got up. Meanwhile, she picked up her cell phone and called Adam.

He answered tensely, but she didn’t care about her brother’s tone. She thought the pregnancy news would warm his heart just as it had warmed hers and Jonathan’s.

“Elizabeth, speak quickly! I’m short on time… Any problem?”

“My brother, I…”

“Say it already!”

“I’m pregnant… I found out today that I’m going to be a mother, and you’re going to be an uncle…” Elizabeth said and waited for a response. Adam said nothing, so she continued. “Adam, it may have taken a while, but Jonathan and I have reached the happiness we wanted. Love is not something bad… I know you can achieve this too. I see what’s good in you. You will still find someone who sees that too… I’m going to hang up. Jonathan prepared a bath for me. Later I’ll tell you how I found out about the pregnancy…”

Adam remained motionless with the phone to his ear for a few minutes. His eyes were on the crying boy clinging to his mother on the floor.

He put the phone away and went to the table. He picked up a knife from the table and the woman on the floor screamed desperately. Adam cut the rope that tied the man.

“Take your family and get out of here! Figure it out! Pay Larson. Don’t make me come after you again.”

The woman helped the man get up and they were leaving the warehouse.

“Fuck, Adam! What will they think of you if they find out about this? You’re weak… I should have known that with time you would soften.”

Adam didn’t want to argue. He left the warehouse and Katryna followed him, complaining about his lack of action.

“I’ll show you how it’s done,” Katryna said. She took the gun from Adam’s waist, aimed at the family reaching the car, and fired.

Adam couldn’t believe what his eyes saw…

“Katryna, how could you?”

“Adam, I didn’t want this. I didn’t mean to…” Katryna dropped the gun on the floor and ran into the house. Adam picked up the gun and went to the family in despair.

“My son, Wolf. How could you do this to my son?”

There wasn’t even time for rescue. The boy was already lifeless in his father’s arms.
