house, he’d discovered Francesca’s true self, how vile and mean she was.
It had given him the out of a marriage he hated, but it wasn’t the same with Daniella, not after she caught him hurting someone in their home.
Releasing her throat, he moved away from the table. This was the reason he needed the Soldiers of Wrath to take care of Daniella. He wouldn’t allow his daughter to go near the spiteful woman.
“I see you still love her,” Francesca croaked out.
“She’s my daughter. Of course, I love her.” He ran fingers through his hair, hating how her very presence riled him. All he wanted to do was kill Francesca, but her death would bring too many questions. She was his wife, and he had no doubt that Francesca had her way out of everything.
“Are you still going to love her when she’s spreading her legs for all the dick that will have her?” She lit a cigarette, staring back at him.
He really couldn’t guess what she was thinking. “You don’t have a caring bone in your body, do you?”
“Caring gets you killed. I’m resourceful. I want my allowance doubled.”
“That’s what you’ve come over here to ask? For more money?”
“What can I say? You’re going to give it to me, Zeke. You can’t risk me going to the right cop or spilling the beans, can you?” She tilted her head to the side. “A police investigation now would destroy any relationship with Daniella. She can’t stand you now. Not to mention how it would hurt your business.”
He stepped up to her, lifting his hand as if to strike her when an idea entered his mind. “You want double, fine. You’ve got double.”
“Do you want to fuck for old times sake?” she asked.
“Get the fuck out of my house. If you talk to Daniella, our deal is off.” He couldn’t believe he’d stopped his time with his daughter for this piece of scum. She might be the mother of his kid, but she was scum.
“Tell me, Zeke. Why did you give in so easily?”
“I don’t see the point in arguing. You’ve got all the cards, Francesca.” He stared at her, waiting for her to leave.
“It’s a good job you know when you’ve been beat, Zeke.” She grabbed her purse, turning away. “You were so easy back in the day. All I had to do was moan in the right places and you thought you were God’s gift to women.”
“Get out.” She wasn’t baiting him.
He had another plan.
“Fine. You don’t want to play; that’s fine with me.” He watched her leave. Only when he saw her climbing into the back of her car did he pull his cell phone out.
Dialing the number he used for this kind of business, he waited for the man to answer.
“Hello, Joker, I’ve got a job for you. I need someone to disappear and never return.”
He gave Joker the details before hanging up. Francesca’s biggest mistake was greed and stupidity. No one got the better of him and if anyone thought they had, it was their mistake. He was always one step ahead.
S teel had Eloise’s legs wrapped around his waist and the head of his cock poised at her entrance before she could even take her next breath. The tip of him was scorching hot, and she feared he would burn her alive once he pushed inside of her. If she was going to die, she couldn’t think of a better way to go.
His biceps strained and bunched as he lifted her, his hands on her ass squeezing. Her heels pressed against the base of his spine and all she wanted to do was pull him forward so he was forced to impale her.
“Touch your breasts.” His gaze dipped down to said body part, and she didn’t wait to obey him.
Letting go of his neck she felt off balance, felt like she would fall at any moment, but Steel’s hands tightened around her, stabilizing her.
He whispered, “I’ve got you, baby. Now, do as I say, and pinch those pretty pink nipples. Obey me because you want to, because it’ll pleasure me.” Her back pressed more firmly against the wall, the lightly textured wallpaper causing a slow burn to start
