Bernie and Su stopped in front of the door that led to the cell where Greg was being held, she stopped in front of it, taking in a deep breath, Bernie noticed this as he had been looking at her since they left Spade's office.
She reminded him of the young man he used to share an office space with, the same person who he'd not seen for more than two weeks and now was presumed missing
But there was something different about her, her eyes, she had bright green emerald eyes, eyes that caught his attention the first time he saw her and she looked very beautiful, he could swear he'd never seen someone so beautiful before.
And the way her voice sounded when she spoke, soft, tender and very soothing. He swallowed as he focused back on her, she seemed nervous and it showed on every part of her body, especially with the way she played with her fingers
"Do you want me to come with you"? He asked, watching as she looked up at him, she wasn't short, he was just rather tall, but she was a bit shorter than her brother.
Her big round eyes stared up at him as she shook her head gently "No.. uhm.. I'm going to be fine" she whispered back before he nodded and bit his inner cheek
"I'll be out here if you need anything" he muttered, she nodded managing a small smile his way, which immedaitely melted his heart.
She walked in through the door and went down the flight of stairs, the place looked dark and cold, very empty too. She was nervous no doubt, but she wasn't scared.
Her palms were moist and wet as she took each step closer to the cell, until she stopped at the last stairs, peering into the vast room, she saw bars, like the ones used in prison cells.
She walked gently away from the stairs and close to the cells, in the middle of the first one was the man she referred to as her father, tied to a chair, his face was bloodied and bruised.
She walked into the cell, making a scraping sound with the door, this made the man to look up, letting her see his face clearly, she didn't react or show any concern or pity.
He deserved everything happening to him now, for how he had treated them. Although her father never really abused her physically like he did with Nate, but it still didn't mean he loved or cared for her.
She stood watching him as his lips tugged in a sadistic smile that showed his blood stained teeth, making him look even more hideous than he was before.
"I should have known you were the bitch that ratted me out to that bastard" he gritted out, making her clench her fists beside her "Have you come to gloat or ask me that same dumb questions mafia boy has been asking me"?
"Where is Nate"? She asked in an almost whisper as her father groaned out in frustration, tilting his head to the back
"Oh come on, how do you all expect me to know where that wimp is"? He asked, staring at her. She hated that he always called Nate names, it angered her so much that she wanted to stab a fork to his eyes.
"He's not a wimp" she gritted out and her father just started laughing, his shoulders shaking as he lowered his head down.
He looked up at her and cocked his brows "He's a better man than you'll ever be" she spat at her father, and he just chuckled again, and used his tongue to swipe through his teeth, as if that would erase the blood on it.
"Is that what you're telling yourself? That your wimp of a brother that's sucking the dick of the man you're supposed to get married to is better than I am"? He asked, almost as if he was mocking her because he still had that smirk on his face
"A man you were forcing me to get married to" she retorted back, only for him to snort out loudly She sighed out and looked at him, seeing the lack of empathy in his eyes, and the way he looked at her as if he'd had enough of her for one day "Did you ever care about us"? She asked, her voice shaky, and he just rolled his eyes at her "Did it ever occur to you that you were pushing us too far"? She asked again, taking a step closer to him. "Your forced Nate to be like you, even though you knew he did not want that life, you never gave him a choice" she spat, he snorted again, his eyes changing to a dangerous glint as he narrowed them at her
"I gave him a bloody choice, I let him become a CEO in my company, even though I knew he was a bitch, a pussy, just like your bitch of a mother" he spat and at the same time a loud slapping sound bounces off the wall, as Su gasped out lowly.
Tears dropping from her eyes as she stared back at the man she called father with so much hatred and loath, while he stared back at her, eyes wide with anger swirling in them
"You have no right to talk about her like that" she whispered with her voice trembling, even her hands shook beside her "not after killing her"
He chuckled sadistically, turning his head to the side for a split second before he looked back at her "I killed her? Suzy you think I killed your mother, when we both know your cock sucking brother killed her" he growled out, making her chuckle emotionlessly, as she nodded her head, folding her hands across her chest
"Nate didn't do anything, it was all your fault, when you brought that man into our home, he destroyed everything and you did nothing to stop it" she yelled out, making him frown as he clenched his jaw, almost as if he didn't understand what she was saying "He raped Nate, molested him, and killed our mother, your wife"
For a split second a look of shock and surprise clouded Greg's expression, but it was gone the second it came as he sneered at her "Your brother probably asked to be fucked..." She cut him off quickly
"He was eleven, he was a kid" she croaked it, feeling the tears blinding her vision as she quickly wiped it off with the back of her hand
"And as for your slut of a mother, she deserved what she got, for coming in between myself and the one I loved" he spat, completely ignoring his daughter's tears and horrified look "You're right, I never cared about any of you, not you, not your mother and not your brother, I was forced to get married to your mother, she was a wife of convenience and both of you, were kids I had out of convenience, not because I wanted to"
Su let out a shaky shallow breath as she looked up and shut her eyes. Not believing she'd considered this man her father for years. The man was nothing but a poor excuse of a father
She looked back down at him "you know what, I hope Spade kills you here and feed your body to his dogs, because you deserve everything that's coming your way" she spat out, cleaning her face roughly before turning around and about to walk out before her father's voice stopped her
"You'll never find him" he spat out, making her stop before she shut her eyes, tears dropping even more, but she didn't turn back to look at him. "Tell Spade to torture me all he wants, he'll never find him, unless he let's me talk to my son" he finished, this made her to turn around and frown, not understanding what he just said.
He could see the confusion on her face, making him smirk sadistically "oh my God, they didn't tell you did they? Poor naive Suzy, still very much in the dark" he taunted
"What are you talking about"? She asked in a whisper
He shrugged his shoulders, which was kind of hard as his whole body was tied to the chair "That blonde, Spade's spawn, that little blue eyed thing that always follows him around, Is your brother" he stated making her gasp out, as she starts shaking his head
"You're lying" she whispered, her eyes glossing over as she breaths really hard and fast
He chuckles "why would I lie, go and ask Spade, he'll tell you"
She doesn't even wait before she dashes out of the cell, walking up the stairs, she sees Bernie there, but totally ignores him as he tried to talk to her.
She can't believe what she just heard, he must be lying, it can't be. The blonde man she had come to know as Matteo can't be her brother, obviously her mother didn't give birth to him.
Which meant her father cheated on their mother when they were still married, she couldn't even hear herself think because of how much her brain was working, everything was overwhelming.
She rushed up and walked through the corridors, the same way they came, she came to a corner and took it, and that's when a face appeared in her line of vision, making her turn abruptly.
Her eyes growing wide, she'd recognize him anywhere, even in her sleep, he was dressed in all black, he wasn't looking at her but she could see him clearly
"What's wrong"? Bernie asked beside her, snapping her out of the daze she was in as she dashed away, rushing towards Spade's office, her throat tightening and her chest caving in.
She was breathing hard and shallow, rushing past corridor as she rounded Spade's office, she quickly opened the door without knocking, barging in on Spade and Matteo looking at the computer screen in front of them on Spade's table
Spade was the first to look at her, seeing her chest rise and fall with each harsh breath she was taking. Matteo rushed towards her immediately, placing his hands on her shoulder "What's wrong? What happened"? He asked, Spade had walked towards her too, his eyes resting on Bernie that came in right after her looking very alarmed too
"Bernie what happened"? Spade asked and he just shook his head frowning
"I don't know boss" he muttered, Spade looked back at her, leaning closer
"Suzy what's wrong"? He asked, seeing her breathing hard
"He.... That man..." She couldn't complete her words as her eyes started glassing over
"Suzy, look at me" Matteo whispered cupping her face as he peered down at her "what happened? Did Greg do anything to you"?
She shook her head frantically "he....I saw... I saw him" she rushed out pointing to the door, making Spade frown even deeper
"Who did you see"? He asked and she let out a deep breath, swallowing hard
"That man, the one that did that thing to Nate, I just saw him" she finished.
Spade tensed up and so did Matteo, both of them looking at each other at the same time, Spade's jaws was clenched as he balled his hand into a fist
"Where did you see him"? Spade asked and she swallowed again, breathing out heavily
"In the hallway, when I was coming back from my father's cell" she explain, making Spade to further tense up, as his mind had already started working, asking so many questions and at the same time, a mess. He was a fucking mess.
What was the person doing here and why? Whatever they were doing here, they made a fucking huge mistake, because he'd make sure they didn't leave. His mind going back to what Su had said he did to Nate
He clenched his jaw and looked Matteo, who spoke to him with his eyes, both of them coming to an understanding. His eyes moved back to Su
"Can you show us where you saw him"? Spade asked and she nodded, before he nodded and they all went out through the door, with Matteo behind with Spade and Bernie with Su
"Bernie, I want you to lock up the whole place, no one goes in or out, and make it discreet, don't cause a panic" he ordered and Bernie nodded before he followed another route, leaving just Spade, Matteo and Su, while they rounded the corner where she had seen that man
"That's where I saw him" she whispered pointing to the far end of the corridor, Spade clenched his jaw, he turned to look at Matteo
"Matteo, take her and circle back through to the lower area, and I'll cut him off from here" Spade said and Matteo nodded before he left Su away, leaving just Spade who now had a chance to think about what was suddenly happening.
He was actually going to see the person that had molested Nate, he didn't know what he would say to them but he sure as hell knew he would make their deaths painfully slow.
He took long strides through the corridor and stopped at the end, thank God it only had one way that would lead out of there, so he didn't need to worry about missing ways with the person.
He didn't know how long he could keep this cool act going on, he was losing his mind The longer it took to find Nate, the more messy and crazy his thoughts got, and the more chances of him going out of control became high.
He couldn't even imagine what would be happening to Nate with the time it took to find him, he just hoped he didn't find the young man too late He'd never forgive himself if anything happened to Nate.
It would be all on him, he was getting closer to the only place this corridor led to, when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, making him cuss out as he shoved his hands into his pocket and pulled it out
Without looking at the caller ID he answered the call and placed the phone on his ear "Spade" Matteo's frantic voice immediately came on "You have to get down here now, get down to the lower level" he rushed out
Spade clenched his jaws as he felt his jaws tick, he knew whenever Matteo sounded like this, then it was never good, bracing himself for whatever was to come, he asked the one question he didn't think was wise to ask "What is it Matteo"?
"Greg is dead"
😳😳😳
Holy fucking shit 😳😳
