Teaching Aleck (The Last Hangman MC #2)(67)
“You should have called me sooner Charline. Are you still hearing noises or seeing anything suspicious?”
“I didn’t know I had your phone number. No, it’s eerily quiet right now. I know I should have been more careful with the notes and all, but I didn’t think they would actually try to attack me. I’ve been getting them for so long.”
“How long?” he asks clearly annoyed.
“Couple of years.”
“What the f*ck, Charline?”
“I know, I should have said something about it. I didn’t think it would be that bad, or that they could even find me, I just thought that whoever was doing it was only doing it to scare me. I never thought a psycho would come for me after all these years! Had I known I wouldn’t have offered Aleck to watch over Ally.” I try not to wake her up.
“Shit. I’m on my way to your place now. I should be there in twenty minutes. Whatever happens, do not open the door.”
“I know, everything is locked downstairs.” I say softly.
“But not upstairs.” I still when I hear a voice say that behind me.
“Who’s there with you? Charline?!” I turn around and come face to face with Brian.
“What the f*ck are you doing here?” I yell at him, waking Ally up. She immediately realizes something is wrong and starts to cry.
“Well, well, well, who do we have here?”
“Don’t you even dare touch one of her hairs or I swear I’ll kill you myself.” I spit at him.
“Now, is that a way to greet your boyfriend?” He chuckles darkly.
“You’re not my boyfriend, Brian. You haven’t been for a while. What do you want?”
“Oh, I’m sure you know what I want. See, a few years ago, I was having some business with someone going to UNO and it turned bad. We had to teach him a lesson and a little blonde showed up out of nowhere and saw what we did to him.” He smirks. Oh f*ck me sideways. “See what I’m trying to say now?”
“I never talked to anyone about it! Why do you want your revenge so many years after and why in the hell did you date me?” I try to manoeuver me and Ally nearer the hallway.
“Let’s see. The dating part was just for fun. You’ve got a banging body and I wanted a piece of it. After watching you for years, it was hilarious knowing you were dating the same guy that was sending you threats when you had absolutely no f*cking clue about it. The revenge part, see I’m not about to let a little bitch like you cause me trouble which you already have by the way. Why in the hell did you decide to date an outlaw when you had the perfect life? Anyway, your dream guy isn’t as dreamy as you think. See, just a couple of days ago, he killed a couple of my men in cold blood. No reason for them to come after us, yet they did.”
“What do you mean after your men?” I look at him confused and back Ally in the hallway so she can go hide upstairs. I’m just hoping no one else is in the house.
“Come back here you little…”
I punch him. “She’s a five year old kid, what the f*ck do you think she’s going to do?”
“Wrong. Fucking. Move.” He slaps me hard across the cheek, making me lose balance. “Maybe he mentioned a club he’s been after or not, doesn’t really matter, I’m part of a MC too darling. We’ve been at war with the Last Hangman for years now and getting to them through you was the perfect revenge. We just had to wait for the perfect moment. We have a man inside your boyfriend’s club that’s been keeping us up to date with all their business. It was easy to make some deals fall through and crush them. Aleck won’t recover from what’s about to happen to you and his daughter.”
“Don’t you dare f*cking touch her!” I spit in his face and kick him in the balls, making him groan in pain. I try to get up and run upstairs to my gun, but he catches my ankle before I get halfway up the stairs. “Whatever you hear, don’t come out, Ally,” I yell and I hear her run away to hide somewhere upstairs.
“Oh I’ll find her, don’t worry about it, Line.” He drags me down the stairs and back into the hallway. “Wanna know a fun story?” he asks straddling my chest, keeping my hands out of reach. “Emma was my f*cking girlfriend before she met Aleck. We were happy and one day, she decided I was too much to handle so she dumped me and then met Aleck. When she found out she was pregnant, she came running straight back to me. I don’t know what went on in her head, but she kept changing her mind about us being together.
“At first, I thought the kid was mine, I was happy, I thought it would bring us back together, but the f*cking bitch told me it wasn’t mine, that it wasn’t possible and she f*cking left me again. She left me after I took care of her for seven f*cking months! I had to find her, it took me a little over a month to do so and when I did, I was both disgusted and happy to see her. I didn’t care about the fact that I wasn’t the father and I wanted her dead for doing this to me. We got into a fight because she didn’t want Aleck to find out she had been with an enemy of the club. I got pissed and I might have punched her repeatedly in her tummy.” He chuckles darkly. “I didn’t feel bad. The bitch collapsed and I wanted her to f*cking lose the baby and be with me, but no, of course it didn’t happen that way. She f*cking died and it’s all because of Aleck!” he yells.
