Hadessa wakes up on cold wooden floors and darkness greets her along with deafening silence.
Her head is pounding and her arm is numb. She tries to sit up only to realize that her ankles and wrists are both tied up. It's then when she recalls the events that took place, Jackson leaving to buy a breast pump, the knock, Caspian opening the door, Beau Redmond walking in, breaking down the bathroom door, hitting her with the gun...she remembers it all. And now panic about her children's whereabouts settle in.
He wouldn't hurt them...right? She asks herself.
The beating of her heart picks up speed as doubt fills in. She manages to sit up and when she does the floorboards creek underneath her. Her body goes completely still as she holds her breath in anticipation. She allows a few seconds to pass before moving around to get comfortable but of course the floorboards creek once more.
This time she hears a small noise from outside the room but a few seconds pass before anything happens. Pulling her legs up, she leans against the wall to assist herself in standing up. Her balance is off but she manages to steady herself before she falls face down.
Slowly and as softly as she can, she shuffles her feet over to the door where she turns around and tries at the knob but It refuses to open making her realize, it's locked from the outside.
She closes her eyes and sighs softly feeling irritated. Having lost hope, Hadessa makes a move forward so she can go back to her original spot but she hits something hard and warm. Hot breath that stinks of cigarettes, burns her face and she immediately jerks away from him.
"We'll I'll be, ain't no one tell me n*ggers were this smart. Or maybe your just a special case".
She remains still with her face turned to the side and her body pushing back into the door to create as much space away from Hunter as she can.
"Your my special case..." he reaches down and tugs on her right nipple making her twist away and scream.
He catches her before she falls face first and holds her side to his front with one arm around her waist the other gripping her throat. He attacks her mouth before she can scream again and squeezes tightly around her neck. So tight Hadessa becomes convinced she's about to be strangled.
"Hunter! She awake?"
Hunter stops and looks up at the door, "um yeah she just woke up".
He drags Hadessa back to her spot on the floor And then pulls out his gun as the sound of keys fill Hadessa's ears.
Keys, my goodness I'm never going to make it of here, She thinks to herself.
The sound of the heavy creaking door opening makes her drop her eyes down to the floor. The door opens completely and brings light into the room so she is able to notice the mahogany brown floorboards that are unusually sparkly clean.
"You was rough housin' her?"
Hunter pulls Hadessa up by her arm and cuts the rope binding her wrists, and then her ankles.
"She tried to get up so I shoved her down, we really gotta break her in Pops. Ya want me to-".
"Nah, git on".
She watches as Hunters boots walk away from her and are replaced by Beau's pale dry feet. His toenails are yellow and in need of a trim and the hair on his toes grows wild like weed.
"Com'mon she's gotta feed".
Hadessa finally looks up and blinks at her baby that he's cradling. Natalie is dressed in a new white onesie and her golden curly hair is wet and combed through.
"You washed her!" Hadessa asks horrified that he saw her baby naked.
"I ain't no pedo n*gger, now hurry up she's a hungry lil thang".
Hadessa reaches out with dirty hands to take her daughter but Beau flinches back.
"Don't touch her b*tch".
Hadessa blinks at him, "you asked me to feed her".
He rolls his eyes before hurling spit next to her feet, "pull out your t*t. I'll hold her up".
Fierce anger burns in Hadessa, "she is my child, she came from me. How am I unworthy when I am the mother who bore her!?"
He lifts his hand to hit her when the baby begins to cry. Beau bounces her a bit and then turns to stare long and hard at Hadessa.
"Alright. Hunter!"
SHe freezes in anticipation of what he's calling Hunter back in for. When Hunter arrives he looks at his Dad and smiles.
"We gon break her in?"
"Git that stupid thought outcha head boy! She ain't here for ya to f*ck, she here to feed Grandbaby. So shut the f*ck up and put her out".
Hadessa stands up in alarm, "wait! wai-"
She doesn't get to finish her words because Hunter swingings his gun across her head sending her body crashing down on the hard floor.
"Ugh ya idiot! Why'd ya hit her so hard? And you should have caught her, Hunter I swear if she's damaged I'll kill ya!"
Hunter swallows hard and squats down to feel Hadessa's pauls, "she's alive Pa".
Mr. Redmond sighs relieved, "ya lucky. Now lean her against the wall".
Hunter lifts Hadessa upper body up and leans her against the corner of the wall. beau shoves him away and pulls out Hadessa's right breast before positioning the baby so she latches on.
He grins when the infant starts to suckle but it quickly disappears when he hears Hunter shifting around behind him.
"Git the f*ck outta here you creep!"
Hunter shifts his pants one last time before running out the room. He heads over to the living room where he sets his gun down on the table and stares long and hard at it.
What if I shot him? And then that dumb baby? I could have Hadessa all to myself, he thinks.
His whole face and the tips of his ears are bright red with anger and humiliation. He fears his father because the man can be unpredictable...just like himself. They are too alike, and for this reason, his Pa and him have never fought, they've always been on the same team, on the same side.
But now there's competition, they both want Hadessa. And Hunter has never lost a competition in his life, but neither has Beau.
A/N: Okay so I'm back. Like for legit, I'm getting it together and going to be updating frequently because I want to submit this book for a competition and the deadline is in 3 weeks. This book is very close to the end so I'm not worried about the time, I'm worried about laziness to write so pray for me lol. Also, because I'm trying to put all the focus on finishing this book, I'm holding off on the others. I promise, once this book is done, I'll update all the requested books.
You'll see me soon beloved's ;)
