Chapter Twenty-Four
Sophia
Malachi is the most sadistic person on this planet. The second I entered the van I knew that I made a horrible mistake. I knew that I was most likely going to die but I thought I would get the chance to save my baby.
It turns out that he took her to some unknown location before I got here. When the van started moving, I tried to discreetly send a message to Travis but Malachi saw and took my phone away right before hitting me with the handle of his gun.
When I woke up from that nap, I was tied to a bed. Each of my limbs was tied to a bedpost and I was completely naked.
Which is still my current situation.
“Your boyfriend decided not to save the baby,” Malachi says, looking down at my phone in his hands. “He wants to save you instead. Smile, I want to show him what his prize is if he gets here in time.”
The light flashes indicating that he took a picture.
“He’s going to love this,” Malachi chuckles. “Oh wait, I have a better idea.”
He walks over to the door and I hear him chatting with someone before he steps aside and lets them in the room.
“I’m thinking right there next to her head,” he says. “What do you think?”
I watch in slow motion as the new man raises his head.
It’s the guard.
My stomach clenches in fear. Malachi scares me, sure. But this man, my guard, made vile threats to me for a year. I witnessed the evil in his eyes every single time he looked at me.
“Hello, Seven,” he smiles, his eyes full of malice. “I have been waiting for this day for months now. I can’t wait to get you all to myself.”
“Not just yet,” Malachi says. “Not until I get her boy toy’s blood on my hands. Now, pull your cock out and go stand by her head.”
“Yes, father.”
“Father?” I ask. “That makes sense, I guess. I always knew you were a sadistic fuck.”
“Smile son,” Malachi says.
I glare up at my guard, Malachi’s freaking son, while he smiles his evil smile down at me. All while stroking himself. Again, the flash goes off and Malachi laughs.
“Yeah, this one works better. You better be careful, son. It looks like the second her hands are free she’s going to stab you in the heart.”
“I would have to have one for her to stab it, Father,” he laughs, tucking himself back in. “Are you sure the damn child is taken care of?”
“High tide has already washed away its body,” he says, causing me to whimper in pain. “Don’t worry. My boy here will make sure your belly is full again as soon as we get this Obsidian issue taken care of. I’m going to send this to your boy toy. What do you think?”
Turning the phone over, I look at the picture he took. I cringe but also feel damn proud of myself. I really do have murder in my eyes.
These assholes already broke me once. I don’t care what they do to me, they won’t break me a second time. I will get free and I will get my revenge for my baby.
“Sent,” Malachi laughs.

I’m sitting at some kid's park about twenty minutes away from where Sophia is.
“Are you sure?” Jax asks Knox.
“I wouldn’t have said it if I wasn’t sure, Jax,” Knox says through the speaker phone sounding a little frustrated. “The fact of the matter is, there is nothing there except a log cabin. It’s owned by a man named Gideon Brooks.”
