I brought the bat over my shoulder, bringing it down hard against his car windows, the shattering glass fuelling my rage until I was pummeling the panels and the hood, leaving no part of the car in one piece. I was sweating as my muscles ached, but it felt good to finally let some of my anger out.
The side mirrors were now lying on the parking lot ground, his car alarm was screaming around me, and I didn’t stop until I heard Stanley’s voice.
“What the fuck are you doing?!”
I turned to face him as adrenaline pumped through my veins, Turbo, Logan, and Zavier standing close by to back me up if I needed them to.
“I was just fixing it. Do you love it?” I taunted, his face turning red with anger.
“You’ll be paying for that!”
“I think I did you a favor. It was a write-off anyway.” His friends joined us, and I couldn’t stop the grin on my face. They were scrawny fuckers, and most of them looked drunk. It would be an easy fight if it came down to it. “I heard you’re bothering my girlfriend. Did you think I was going to let that slide?” I asked, dropping the bat over my shoulder lazily. “You’re stupider than I thought.”
“That cunt fucked my life up!” Stanley snarled, clenching his fists by his side. “I was so close to getting that money, but she ruined it!”
Knowing he’d been dating her for years just to inherit some money pissed me off. She was so sweet, and she’d given him her everything when he was lying straight to her face.
Turbo moved beside me, speaking quietly in my ear. “I’ll go get her if you’re good out here?”
I nodded, waiting for him to leave before I continued. “I don’t usually give second chances, Stanley. If I offered you to leave town with your balls still attached to your body, would you take it?”
“You think I’m scared of you? You even brought back-up, which tells me you didn't think you could win.” He laughed, faltering when Zavier stepped forward and got in his face.
“You think it's fair for five of you to go against one woman? How about you talk shit to me instead, asshole. See what fucking happens.”
“This has nothing to do with you,” he grunted, and I did well not to jump as Logan cackled with laughter.
“You think you can fuck with Luna and we won’t step in? I bet you feel really tough scaring women. Does it make your dick hard?”
“Are you all fucking her now? Is this like Riley’s twisted, fucked-up family?” Stanley demanded, and before I could smash his face in, Zavier let out a low chuckle, patting Stanley’s chest.
“I’m assuming you’ve been talking to your granddaddy, right? Is that what’s got you so angry at Luna? I bet he wasn’t happy to find out about your little plan.”
I had no idea what they were talking about, but I didn’t have to wait long.
“That bitch somehow got a hold of evidence from my fucking phone and sent it to him! I’m going to destroy her!” Stanley shouted, waving his arms around. “You know what he did with that money? He gave it to her!”
At first, I thought I’d heard him wrong, but when he kept ranting about how she’d ended up with his money, I knew I’d heard him correctly.
That old dude had actually given Stanley’s inheritance to Luna.
She hadn’t mentioned it to me, so I was pretty sure she didn’t know about it yet.
Zavier laughed. Loudly. “He actually gave it to her? Damn, I bet that hurts. I doubt it was enough to compensate for the past few years of her having to put up with you, but it’s a good start. I’ll have to send him a thank you card.”
“How did she get stuff from my phone?” Stanley kept shouting, giving me a glare when I leaned against his car and my bat hit it. “Watch it!”
“Sorry. I’d hate to dent it,” I deadpanned, crossing my arms. “Is this really why you just threatened to let your friends rape my girl? Because your grandfather gave her money? Money really is the root of all evil.”
His friends suddenly looked confused, one taking a step to the side. “Uh, what are you talking about? I’m not a fucking rapist.”
I sneered, pointing at him with my bat. “You don’t think she told me that he walked in here, telling her you were all going to take turns with her?”
His eyes went wide, and he shook his head. “No! We came here to eat, and he seemed to be arguing with her across the room when she was leaving the bathroom. He said she stole from him and we hung around to back him because her family has connections or something. I swear, I wasn’t going to touch her! We only met Stan a couple of weeks ago!”
I glanced at the other guys, all of them looking just as confused by the entire situation, making me realize they didn’t know their buddy as much as they thought they did.
“Did he even tell you who her family is?” When they all said no, I smiled. “Her father’s the leader of the Reapers of Chaos crew, and her uncles are part of the Bloody Psychos. I’m her girlfriend, Riley Donovan.”
