Chapter Ten

Suzanne laughed at Della and shook her head. “I told you it would happen. Della, you'll do fine. Don't get me wrong—there will be some times you'll have doubts, even I have those, but Alex will be there to help you. Let him in, and you'll be amazed how good it feels.” She glanced around the room, empty now except for her and her friends.

Two guards stood at the doorway, but someone else was in the room. The aroma of Brut cologne hit her and she grabbed the bar. “He's here,” she whispered, but her friends had heard her. Della pulled out her blades, Lissa moved to place herself in front of her, but Suzanne stepped away and scanned the room.

“No, Lissa, this one is mine. Come out and play, Lucas.” Suzanne moved around the room. “Or are you really the chicken I know you to be? I mean, come on, who beats and rapes little girls? You always were a slim bucket.”

What the hell do you think you're doing? Dominic yelled in her mind, but she ignored it.

She couldn't be distracted as her friends fanned out. The guards moved into the room, and stepped around her. “Damn it, Dominic, now he'll run and hide!” she yelled into the air, knowing he could hear her.

We will discuss this after I have taken care of this Lucas myself. Dominic barked in her head, and she shook his head.

“I swear, you'd think I was a porcelain doll or something.” Suzanne grunted as Archer and Granger hurried into the room and headed straight towards her.

“What the hell were you thinking, egging him on?” Granger demanded and shook her. “We almost lost you earlier, and you go and do this again? I'm so furious at you right now.” He released her and paced back and forth.

Archer leaned against the couch, his arms crossed over his chest. Suzanne knew he was furious too, but he held it inside, quiet.

“I was trying to get him to expose himself, Granger. I want that man gone. I don't want to have to keep looking over my shoulder because if he gets away, I'll never feel safe, even with your protection.” Suzanne sank into the couch. “I'm older, but just smelling him, I felt as if I was that thirteen-year-old child again. I wanted it over with. Was that so wrong?”

Della stomped over to her and glared at Granger and Archer. “No, it wasn't. I would feel the same way if it was my brother. You know you associate your trauma with Lucas, as I do with my brother.” Della wrapped her arms around her. “Lissa will also have the same problem, until the man who betrayed her is also dead.” Della rested her head on her shoulder as Lissa sat down next to her on the other side.

“Della is right. Everything that happened to me—I only see Douglas's face. Knowing he's still out there will always have me looking over my shoulder. It's like part of us can't heal until they are gone.
