Chapter Twelve

The man was resilient as hell. I’d give him that.

After taking a nail, wedging it between his nail-bed and skin, I tapped the end of it with the hammer. The point slid right through the flesh, forcing the nail up from underneath and splitting it right down the middle.

I couldn’t really explain the mindset I settled in as I did this.

This part of me had been suppressed so long I wasn’t the least bit be surprised at what I was capable of.

The blood on my hands didn’t bother me, his agonizing screams carrying across the rafters and making a few of the guards shift uncomfortably, didn’t bother me. I already struggled with being empathetic and the lack of remorse came with the territory. You switched it off and did what you needed to do.

By the fourth nail, I soon realized the issue was that he was too resilient. It was actually rather stupid on his end not to say anything at all. It meant the person he was protecting was someone he cared about, immensely.

I stared at his ruddy, messy face, feeling the truth of my self-made discovery sinking down to my brittle bones.

“The Ace is my mother,” I stated calmly, for once feeling anything but.

Me speaking the truth aloud had Samuel’s entire demeanor changing.

He began to laugh and sob hysterically at the same time, spewing slobber tinged blood all down the front of him.

“Congragu-fucking-lations. When she finds out what you’ve done, she’s going to do the job her errand boys failed to do twice,” he wheezed.

Errand boys?

Alex was clearly one; I had no idea who the other could be.

He tried to smile at me; I corrected his smugness by bringing the hammer down onto his knee as hard as I could, happily shattering his kneecap. His cry of pain was muffled when I took hold of his jaw and squeezed with every muscle I had in my hand.

Acutely aware of all the eyes and ears on me, I leaned down and smiled brightly, looking him straight in the eyes.

“You’ve been so much help, but I no longer need you anymore.”

I stepped back, silently communicating with the main guards Mateo had earlier.

I wanted to run from the stable, scream, cry, and beat the shit out of something, anything to make it all feel…less. Less painful, less enraging, less fucking obvious that my mother was a legitimate psychopath who failed as a parent.

I had to remain strong, though. I was never to give someone a window of opportunity to exploit a weakness.

“Get it over with,” Samuel spit at my feet.

“There is no easy way out for you, Uncle Sam,” I stated sweetly, smiling again at the look on his face when he caught sight of the barrel being brought over.

“No,” he began shaking his head back and forth, repeating the word over and over again.

The plea fell on deaf ears.

He’d betrayed my father, possibly assisted in the death of my sister, and schemed on my life.

They say violence isn’t the answer, but yes it fucking is.
