Healing Gabe (The Last Hangman MC #3)(58)

“I can’t believe you would do that when you had an amazing boyfriend? Why go for him?” Viv asks, tears running down her cheeks.

“Because I wanted to be a part of something great, where no one would treat me like a little girl, but like a Queen.”

“Yeah, you f*cking got that right, the queen of f*cking stupid! I can’t believe you would ally yourself to such a f*cking *, do you have any idea of the things he’s done?” Viv yells at Annie.

“Yes, I know, I was there for the most of it. It’s a part of the life, what do you want me to say?” Annie shrugs, not feeling one sliver of regret for the things she allowed to happen.

“He only went for you because he couldn’t have me. The one he really wanted. Did you ever tell her, Jared, that you told me you fell in love with me and really loved me? Does she know all the sweet things you used to do trying to woo me, like bringing me my favourite foods, or bringing me gifts and flowers, promising me a life where no one would be able to hurt me?” Right, seeing the look on her face, she didn’t know. Aww sorry I just burst your bubble, Annie.” I snort seeing her pale at this revelation.

“You’re a liar!” Annie yells at me.

“Whatever you think, Princess. That doesn’t explain how you’re still alive after what happened.” I growl.

“See, that has nothing to do with Jared, well not really. Trent was too hungry for power and wanted everything for himself. He was a greedy bastard and Jared had no idea of what he had planned for me. He was devastated when he found out. Luckily he didn’t hit any vital organs or arteries, hence why I’m still here. It took me a long time to recover, but I’m perfectly fine now.”

“Why didn’t you tell me you were still alive?” Viv asks, hurt by her sister’s actions and words.

“Because I didn’t want to be a part of your life anymore. I wanted out of your perfect little world, you always got exactly what you wanted and everybody would do everything for you, hell, my supposed boyfriend knew more about you than me. I couldn’t even keep my fake boyfriend entertained enough. He wanted you all along. That’s a bit sick of you Gabe, you should get checked about that.”

“Shut your f*cking mouth, you f*cking bitch!” Viv yells.

“You two gotta make up your mind, one minute you want me to talk, the next you want me to shut up.” Annie looks over at Viv.

“I regret ever feeling bad for what happened to you. I regret all the hours I spent crying after you died. I regret ever caring for you. You are f*cking evil and you two belong together. You make the perfect f*cking couple. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t have a sister. I haven’t for the past twelve years. Mum and Dad would be so ashamed of you.” Viv says calmly, fuelling Annie’s anger.

“You don’t get to regret those things! Everything that I went through is your fault!” Annie screeches.

“No, it’s your own fault, you are the one who came up with that sick twisted plan, you can only blame yourself for that. I’m done caring about you.”

“You can’t! We are twins! We’re supposed to care for each other forever.” She really is losing it.

“Yes, unless one of those is the f*cking devil incarnate you sick bitch, then the rule doesn’t f*cking apply.”

Annie screams and Jared tries to soothe her, “Babe, calm down, the doctor said it wasn’t good for you to stress out with the baby. You know I love you.” He rubs her tummy and I feel sick. All those years I’ve been beating myself up for something that I thought was my fault when in reality, they were behind all of it all along.

“I know. She’s the one to blame.” She points at Viv.

“Don’t worry about her anymore.” He kisses her head and holds her.

“What were you going to f*cking do with me anyway, since you have the evil queen with you?” Viv taunts Jared.

“Use you as a sex slave or sell you to a Madam. You’d be worth a lot of money. Sex is the only thing you’d be useful for. That sweet cunt of yours is the only thing worth something. You’re pure f*cking trash, Viv.” He smirks at Viv. How I f*cking wish I could go over there and kick his ass.

We hear loud noises coming from outside and the two doors to the warehouse blow up. They all duck down. I feel someone untying me and I don’t wait to thank whoever did it. I rush to Jared and tackle him to the ground, pounding the shit out of him. I feel someone jump on my back, trying to stop me, but I don’t, I kick that person off of me and keep punching him. I faintly hear Viv calling my name, but I can’t stop. I’m too far gone to stop. He’s ruined my life for years. I can’t let him keep doing this. It looks like he’s unconscious but I don’t stop, I can’t.

I faintly hear what’s going on around me, a lot of gun shots, Nicole and Viv screaming, Sanders’ heartbroken cries. I feel a sharp pain in my left shoulder. I get up and turn around, seeing Annie standing there with a knife. She just f*cking stabbed me in the shoulder. She should have gone straight for my heart, stupid bitch.

“Why?” I growl at her, I’m seething and having her this close just makes me want to wring her neck.

“What can I say? You messed with the wrong crowd by trying to do the right thing. No good deed goes unpunished, isn’t that the saying?” She shrugs.
