Epilogue

Still Drakes POV

“I'm so sorry, Drake. I was right there with you and I couldn’t save your woman. I failed you, and I failed Mia. Riley is a bastard, if he were still alive, I would have killed him myself. I’m glad he is dead, he is a fucking monster!

You can’t blame yourself for this, Drake, it’s not your fault and it’s not her fault as well.” Liam let out sadly, trying to cheer me up.

“I know it’s hard to believe that you just lost a child, but look on the bright side. Your wife is okay, and your brother will never hurt her again because you took care of him already. She is going to wake up in a few hours, and she is going to be okay, I promise. I was a bit busy when you walked in, that is why I couldn’t attend to her myself. You can relax your mind, Mr. Osborne, I’m going to take care of her, I’ll make sure she is okay, that is a promise.” Doctor Larry assured me. 

I could see her lying peacefully on the bed while the nurses cleaned her up. I can’t call her parents yet, I’m too ashamed to tell them what had happened to the child that they put in my care. I know Liam and doctor Larry is trying to get me to calm down, and I know that everything they are saying is true, but I just can’t help it, I can’t control this anger within me. No matter how hard I try to talk myself out of it, I just couldn’t do it.

Someone has to pay for this…

I need to punch someone, I kicking need to hit something. Riley is the best option he is the target, and if he were still alive, I would have searched for him, no matter where he is hiding. I would have searched for him, and I’ll fucking beat him to a pulp. But Riley is dead, so I had to choose someone else to vent my anger on.

Austin Foster…

He would do just fine, in fact, he is a perfect choice. He dragged my family into this mess when he forced my sister to marry him and also led my brother astray. He is sitting comfortably in an electric chair in the basement of the company building, while my heart is bleeding from the pain of losing a child. I wasn’t expecting this news, and I had no idea that she is pregnant. But I lost a child all the same, and it hurts... it fucking hurts. 

“Stay right here and keep an eye on her, I’ll be right back, I need to lose this anger within me before she wakes up.” I instructed Liam firmly, before leaving the building. I drove back to the company, driving at a speed that could attract the attention of the cops. Luckily, I wasn’t stopped by them and I arrived at the company and parked at my special spot, then I used my private elevator to go up to my office. I met some of my guys at the parking lot that is so close to the elevator. They were using my private elevator to move the dead bodies from my office on the last floor, down to their cars. 

When I walked past them, I noticed the look on their faces. They stared at each other as if they have something they wanted to tell me. I think they were too scared to stop me and mention it, and I was not in the mood for jokes, so I ignored them and got into the elevator. When I got to my office, I opened the secret door, and I took the secret elevator down to the basement underground. I was wondering what those guys wanted to say to me, a part of me believe that they just wanted to ask after Mia, but they were just too scared to say a word. I kept playing different scenarios in my head, wondering what they had in mind. But when I got to the basement, as soon as I got out of that elevator, I knew exactly what they wanted to say. 

They wanted to inform me that my sister is there with Austin Foster. She beat me to it, she came to have her revenge on that bastard, and she succeeded. I saw Austin, sitting naked on the electric chair. I saw different marks and cuts on his body, and I knew she had tortured him pretty badly. But that wasn’t what threw me off balance, what got me is the fact that Austin was missing one part of his body…

His fucking dick!

She cut off his dick and shoved it down his throat, and she open his veins and let him bleed out slowly while she continued torturing him. I was so shocked to see her sitting on the floor, soaked in his Blood. The sight of her wiped away every anger I felt, I can’t believe she could do something like this, how will she sleep at night, knowing that she took a life? How the fuck did we all end up this way?

“I’m sorry, Drake, I just couldn’t move on when this bastard is still living and breathing. I had to do this for my kids, I have to…

“Riley is dead too. I killed my own brother, and I do not regret it. I would kill him over and over again if I have the chance. You have nothing to apologize for, Casey, I would have killed Austin myself if I had met him alive. I was actually on my way to finish him off, you just beat me to it.” I confessed. 

I assured her that everything was going to be fine now, and I made her promise never to use hard drugs anymore. Going forward, we would never hide things from our parents and from each other, and I would make sure she never kills anyone, ever again. I know she would return to her usual cheerful self, and Charles and the kids would make sure of that. Now that all this is finally over, they can go back to work and also rent a nice apartment to live together as a family.

We stayed that way for a few minutes, then I got a call from Liam telling me that Mia is awake. We used the bathroom in my office to clean up and look nice. Then we headed straight to the hospital, and as usual, I drove so fast to get to her quickly. When we arrived at her hospital room, we found our parents and Mia’s parents were already there, and from the look on their faces, I’m guessing they know everything already. My parents and hers were taking it better than I imagined, but Mia wasn’t. She was sobbing loudly and she refused to listen to anyone, she refused to stop. I ignored every other person and I walked to her and pulled her into my arms, pecking her on the forehead.

“Drake our baby…

We lost our…”

“Sshhhhhh,” I shushed her, holding her to face me as I looked into her eyes with a smile gracing my face.

“We have lost nothing that cannot be replaced. I promise to stand by you in everything you do, my love. We would have more kids than you can count, and I will make sure no one dares to hurt you ever again. I will protect you with my life, and I will always put smiles on your face. Riley is gone, and it is so sad that he took our child with him. 

But, that’s okay, my love. We are alive and fine, and I’m sure we would have kids pretty soon. I just need you to see this as another attack from Riley, and I need you to know that it will never happen again. 

I am starting on a clean slate, my love, and I need you to start with me as we restore everything we have lost and rebuild our families. Would you be so kind to forgive my errors and start on a clean slate with me?” I asked her with a warm smile. She smiled back in response, but she didn’t say a word in response. I decided to lighten the mood with good news, 

“What if I tell you that I have recovered all your lost cargo ship and all the goods still intact, will that put back the smile on your face?” 

That was all it took to brighten her face, and the faces of our parents as well. She forgot about the pain she is feeling, and she threw herself in my arms, laughing and crying at the same time. I know it would take a while for the wounds in our hearts to heal, but I’m sure we are on the right path, and no one can snatch this newfound joy and happiness from my family.
