Healing Gabe (The Last Hangman MC #3)(9)

“You’re welcome, Princess. Are you sure you want to do this?” Cabe asks me, looking at me intensely.

“Yes, I need him gone for good and it looks like I’m not the only one.” I look over at Gabe who nods once.

“Alright, let’s get into position, he should be here soon.” They all hide behind the door out of sight.

We only have to wait for a few minutes before Trent arrives. Thankfully, he came on his own as I asked. I doubt he suspects that I would go behind his back and betray him. “I see you finally came to your senses, Viv. About time! I was losing my patience. Wouldn’t want what happened to Annie to happen to you, now would we?” He chuckles darkly.

“Shut up, you motherf*cking *!” I yell at him as Cabe and Gabe pounce on him.

“What the f*ck? You f*cking slut!” Trent growls as Cabe and Gabe drag him to the chair in the middle of the room and tie him up. Marcus and Phillip circle him, while I stand directly in front of him.

“Looks like I outsmarted you.” I chuckle darkly. “You really thought that after what you did to Annie I would f*cking give you what you wanted? You must be out of your f*cking mind. I never have and never ever will do what you want me to do! Your thirst for power cost Annie her life but it ends tonight. Tonight I’m going to watch you die a slow and painful death and I’m going to enjoy every single second of it, you motherf*cker!” I spit at him.

“You wouldn’t dare! It’ll just make all of this even worse if I’m gone!” He looks scared. Good. I want to see the f*cker suffer as much as I have.

“I don’t think so. See, we are good at erasing tracks. We can make it look like you took off and stole all the money from the club. How do you think that would go down? Maybe we have already. You never know.” Cabe chuckles. “You really thought that we wouldn’t have Viv’s back? She grew up with us. She will always be one of ours. No matter how f*cked up her so called family is. We protect our own. I hope you’re ready for what we have in store for you.” Cabe smiles darkly, I’ve never seen him like this. I’ve known Cabe since I was born, but this man standing here in front of me, I don’t recognize.

They don’t bother gagging Trent as we are in the middle of nowhere and I watch the four men torture the shit out of Trent for hours, never once looking away. I keep my eyes locked on his, wanting, needing to see his pain and suffering. He’s begging, pleading with me with his eyes to end his suffering, but I’m not ready for that. I remember holding my sister’s dead body in my arms, crying for hours over Annie, over my parents, over the life that we could have had. But the man sitting in front of me robbed us of that and for that, he will pay. I feel empty, numb, broken. My heart can’t be pieced back together, not now, not ever.

“This is for you, Annie.” I whisper to myself as I take out the gun I had hiding in the back of my pants and aim it at a barely conscious Trent. “You don’t have any power over me, you f*cking *.” Cabe, Marcus, Gabe and Philip move away and I don’t hesitate as I pull the trigger. In the split second it takes for the bullet to hit its target. I see a myriad of emotions fleet across Trent’s face.

He clearly didn’t want to go like this which is exactly what he deserves. I don’t regret this and I never will. It won’t bring Annie back, fix mine and Gabe’s broken hearts, fix all the hurt it’s caused, but it’s a start. The Kings might still come after me but by the time they find out what happened, I’ll be long gone.

To this day, I still don’t regret it.

I’ve been living in a nightmare for so long that I don’t know the difference between my imagination and reality anymore. I dream about Annie so often that I sometimes think she’s still here with me. I wonder what life would like if she were still here. Would we still be stuck with the Kings or would we be free from all that bullshit? I can’t dwell on thoughts like that, if I do, I’ll drive myself crazy. Some days I want everything to end so I can be with her again, but I have to fight for her, for our parents, for myself. That’s what she would have wanted.





CHAPTER 4



Gabe

February 14th 2015

I finally came back to town from the cabin late last night. Leaving for a few months was absolutely necessary and I’m glad my brothers understood my need to leave for a while. The downside of having so much time on your own is that it’s just you and your thoughts, and that can get ugly really fast.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t partake in any club activities and it was driving me insane. Sure, I was checking in every other day with Ant over the phone, but it’s not the same.

Things have been quiet so far. The Kings have made a move though. They want a meeting to sort shit out, like that’s ever going to happen without a few people losing their lives. They really must think we are stupid. We need to outsmart them and find their weaknesses before they find ours. I don’t know how things are going to go down, but I do know that things will get bloody. I just hope we come off better.

I park my bike next to Ant’s, taking off my helmet I hear Line and Ayd squeal as they see me walk towards them at the compound. I can’t help but chuckle. These two are already crazy when they are on their own, but put them together and you are in f*cking trouble! I don’t know how Ant and Aleck manage them when they’re together. I’m happy for my brothers though, they have found the women of their dreams and have settled down with their families.
