"Now Hugo, you have a choice. You can either tell the truth or your daughter dies," I tell him matter-of-factly. It doesn't matter if he tells me the truth or not, I still plan on killing her. She's done nothing but cause trouble and I don't give a fuck what Jagger says, if his woman and child come home Carina’s not going to leave them alone. She’s the jealous type and Jagger and Sarah have something she hasn’t got. Allie, their daughter.
"Please Mr Brady, don't kill her," Victoria begs. "Hugo, you better answer his questions, if you don't, I'll kill you myself."
I smirk, damn, Mrs Mawson means business. "What were your plans with Juan?"
He doesn't ask who Juan is, there's no pretences, he just answers the damn question. "Carina's in debt, as are we. She came up with the idea of supplying drugs to Juan and in return making some money. Carina said she knew the business as she'd been around you both for so long. She knew where you kept your supplies."
I grind my teeth, they planned to steal from me. "Did you really think you were going to get away with it?"
"I'm sorry, I just needed the money. My daughter owes the Healy's money."
"So you thought stealing from me would be the best thing to do." I shake my head. What a fool.
"I'm so sorry." He begins to cry, he knows that he's fucked.
"One last question." He nods, "Where is Mia?"
"Who's Mia?" Victoria questions.
"I don't know who that is. I promise you. I don't." His body shaking as tears fall down his face.
"She's mine. Someone kidnapped her and I want her back." I growl as I take a step toward him.
He scurries backward like the coward he really is. "I don't know, I'm telling you the truth, I don't know who she is."
I nod believing him. "Victoria, you have a choice," I begin, "You can either get your shit together, get a bag and leave, never look back or you can stay here and end up the same way as your husband." This is her chance to escaping the man that turned their daughter into a drug addict, if she stays, they both die.
She walks up to Hugo, he sighs in relief, he thought she was going to leave him here with us. Before anyone says anything, she savagely slaps him across the face. The sound of her hand hitting his face bounces off the walls. "You deserve to die. I devoted twenty five years to you. For what? Debt? For you to fuck your mistress?"
His eyes widen, "Vicky..."
"No, you gave our daughter drugs. You deserve to die. I don't." She turns to face me, "Where do I go?"
I shrug. "Wherever you want Victoria. It's up to you." I reach into my back pocket and take out an envelope, handing it to her. "This will get you settled somewhere. Once you're there, give Jag a call and we'll get you set up with a bank account."
She clutches the envelope like it's her lifeline, I guess it really is. "Thank you."
"It's time to go," Jagger tells her and she rushes upstairs and within minutes she's back downstairs with a suitcase in hand. "Good luck Victoria," Jagger says and pulls her into his arms.
"Be safe, Jagger. Mr Brady, after everything you've done for me I know that I shouldn't be asking you for anything, but I'm going to."
I roll my eyes already knowing what she's going to ask.
"Please don't hurt my baby, please give her a chance."
"What do you want me to do?" I raise my brow in question.
"Let her leave with me," she pleads.
"It's time to go, Victoria." Jagger gently nudges her.
She nods. "Okay, thank you. Please consider what I've said." She scurries out of the room without a backward glance.
"End him, it's time to talk to Carina," I tell Jagger and follow Victoria out of the house.
"Who's there?" Carina says and I can hear the fear in her voice. "Hello? I know you're there."
"Tell me Carina, did you honestly believe you'd get away with stealing from me?" I say standing in front of her. She can't see me as she's blindfolded.
