CHAPTER SIX

The plan was set into place, the players marked, before any of us even knew there was a game to be played. The chess pieces were so carefully placed that the most brilliant of minds wouldn’t have been able to see the storm brewing… the hell that was about to be unleashed. – Joyce Alfero

I SLEPT LIKE HELL the entire night, knowing full well what was most likely happening over and over and over again. Damn my brother.

As much as I wanted to, I couldn’t hate him, not for loving her, not for wanting her. Had I been in his position I would have done the same thing. But I wasn’t, in his position, I was on the outside looking in, making sure he stayed alive, making sure he got exactly what he’d craved since he’d been broken.

Money, success, respect.

With a quick check of my watch, I made my way toward the hospital, choosing to walk rather than take one of the cars. Walking eased my mind and in a way being outside eased my soul from the darkness that was already starting to take over.

I had to feel nothing.

It was more than necessary. Feeling meant death.

And death was what I was trying to prevent.

For both of them.

But they’d never thank me, not right away. Years, I was looking at years of absolute horror before they’d see what I did was for the best.

For Family.

Everything was for Blood.

With a sigh, I shoved my hands into the pockets of my slacks. The hospital doors slid open. I continued walking.

I knew where to find her.

I knew where to find everyone.

My gut sank as I rounded the corner and knocked on the door. The nurse knew I was coming, I’d paid her for her silence and given her a nice bonus to leave me and Joyce alone for a few moments.

When she saw it was me, recognition flared briefly in her eyes as she ducked her head and walked out of the room. That was the agreement; she doesn’t get to know my name or my reasons. I was a dangerous man. I made sure she knew it.

The room smelled like antiseptic.

Joyce was pale, sitting in a chair with an IV hooked up to her arm. She was reading a magazine, she looked happy.

I could make her happy.

But only as much as she let me.

Damn.

I pulled up a chair.

She yelped and then narrowed her eyes. “You shouldn’t be here.”

“Had to get blood drawn.”

“Liar.”

I smirked, “You wanna watch? That type of thing get you going woman?”

With an eye roll she pushed at my arm, not hard, damn the girl had the strength of an ant.

“Why are you here Frank? I won the wager, remember?”

“Ah yes…” I leaned back, “The Wager, tell me, how was my brother in bed? Did he cry afterwards?”

“You’re an ass!” She hissed.

“I’m the ass?” I leaned forward, “I’m the ass? I didn’t lure a man to my bed under false pretenses.”

“They weren’t false.”

“I also didn’t seduce a twenty-one year old kid for money.
