Chapter Eighteen

Elie

I stroke his face as he looks me in the eye. I know that I hurt him with what I did, and the Lord knows I’m sorry for that, but did he really need to beat my ass like that? I swear, I will not be able to sit down for weeks!

“Nothing I did was meant to hurt you. I was stupid, Wrench. What I did was stupid, and I lost you. However, I meant it then, and I mean it now, I love you so much.”

His eyes scan mine wildly. “You expect me to believe you? You used me, Elisha.”

“That’s how it started, yes.” He huffs, and I cringe, but I won’t let him cut me off. “I was told Cindy was my mother, Wrench. I thought she died because of Hammer because he didn’t protect her. When you told me their story,” His eyes widen. He thinks I’m blaming him for this when I’m not. Not at all. “Please just listen to me.”

“Hurry the fuck up!” He barks while folding his huge arms across his even bigger chest. I used to salivate over that chest, so full of muscle and all mine.

I blink once, swallow hard, and cough discretely. “Ever since I found out I was adopted all I wanted was to find my mother. When I got here, and I found out she was dead, it cut me up. You were there, and yes, I thought I could use you to get to Hammer. I wanted to hurt him. I wanted him dead. Then I met him and his family, and I heard the way everyone talked about Cindy, and I knew she meant everything to him. I didn’t want him dead, but I wanted him to hurt the way I hurt. That’s why I paid to have him hurt in ways that would mean he’d never walk again.

“When I started spending more time with you, with everyone here, things didn’t seem so bad. It didn’t seem to me that anyone here would have let Cindy die without at least trying to fight to save her. You and I were getting closer, then Coral told me the truth about who she was and who Cindy was to me, and I felt like such a fool. I knew then I couldn’t let Hammer suffer in any way, but it was too late, I’d already ask Nova to help me, and she pretty much told me it was too late.” My heart is pounding in my throat. I feel like I’m going to throw up!

“I tried to stop it, Wrench. I tried because I didn’t want revenge anymore. I tried because all I wanted was you. You changed my life.”

He rolls his eyes In disbelief. However, it’s the truth; he changed everything about me, and my whole outlook on life. He showed me how to be a little reckless, a little wild, a whole lot free.

“You stole my heart, Dominic.” I swallow hard. He told me not to use his given name again, and his wide eyes tell me I shouldn’t have said that.
