And you know what the best part is? Even if you hadn’t killed Jess I still would have left you eventually because you’re abusive and controlling and you would have shown your true colors sooner or later. So really all you did was speed up the process and make sure that when I did leave you I’d have even
more reasons to hate you.”
Daxon’s control finally snapped and he lunged forward and backhanded me across the face so hard that stars exploded behind my eyes and I tasted
blood in my mouth.
“I said shut up!” he roared and his voice echoed off the concrete walls.
I spit blood onto the floor at his feet and looked up at him with a smile that was all teeth and malice.
“Is that all you’ve got?” I asked and my voice was steady even though my cheek was throbbing. “Hit me again Daxon. Show me what a big strong man you are. Show me how you win arguments by beating up women who are chained to walls.”
He raised his hand again but then stopped himself and took a step back like he was trying to regain control of himself.
“You think you’re so smart don’t you?” he said and his voice was low and dangerous. “You think you can make me angry enough to do something stupid.”
‘I don’t think it Daxon I know it. Because you’re predictable and you’re weak and you always have been. That’s why you need chains and weapons and
help from crazy women to feel powerful.”
He stared at me for a long moment and then his smile came back but it was different now and somehow even more frightening than his anger had been.
“You’re right about one thing Athena,” he said and his voice was calm again which was somehow worse than when he was screaming.
“I am going to kill Tristan and I’m going to make you watch every second of it. But first I’m going to make him watch while I break you into so many pieces that there won’t be anything left for him to save.”
He walked toward the stairs and paused at the bottom to look back at me one more time.
‘And when he’s dead and you’re broken I’m going to keep you alive for a very long time so you can think about how this all could have been avoided if you had just kept his name out of your mouth that night.”
‘Even if you kill Tristan, it still won’t make me yours, or change the fact that I moaned out his name, because you’ll just be a murderer standing in a room full of ghosts and screaming at a woman who will never ever love you back. I’ll always hate you even in death
His jaw tightened and his eyes burned with rage but I didn’t stop.
“You’re stupid Daxon‘ I said while spitting the words like venom. “Because even after everything you’ve done and after all this blood and all this pain, t am still his and I will always be his. And when I die it’ll be with the thought of om sex on my mind. How he finally made me moaned his name nonstop, something you couldn’t do.”
The silence between us was electric and tense and dangerous.
Daxon’s face darkened while the fury rolled off him in waves but I held his gaze and smiled because for the first time since this nightmare began I felt
like I had power again.
“How about I tell you how she was murdered” he said coming down the step like he’d changed his mind from leaving, his voice was soft again but there was something in it that made my blood freeze.

Chapter 176
I shook my head frantically my smile dieing immediately.
I didn’t want to hear them, no I can’t.
“No no no
I thought you had a sharp mouth?‘ He asked with a victorious sinister smile and I could see the satisfaction in his eyes at watching me break down
again.
“Please don’t‘ tears were now spilling down my face because I couldn’t hear this and I didn’t want to know but I could see in his eyes that he was gring
to tell me anyway.
He was going to make me listen and there was nothing I could do to stop him.
She was so beautiful” he said and his voice was almost dreamy now like he was remembering something pleasant. “Even when she was screaming.”
“Stop” I whispered but he kept going and his eyes never left my face while he watched every emotion flicker across it.
He was now standing so close to me that I could hear him like a loud speaker plugged to my Hear.
‘I followed her for weeks before I made my move because I wanted to know her routine and I wanted to know when she’d be most vulnerable and pregnant women, well they’re always vulnerable aren’t they?”
