DARLENE

I ran the brush over the dried husk of the tears that had been streaming down my face once more, trying to straighten the hunch that had grown in my spine in the time it had taken me to wash up and beat the makeup brush over my face.

“Saints, give me strength,” I sighed, ignoring the pain that had begun to throb in my eyeballs. This was the night I was going to tell Frederick everything about Laura, the way she had stalked me in that forest, her house in the killer shack that the detectives were almost certain had been used in killing almost a hundred people.

Detective Bowler had come just before dawn, with haggard pea-black eyes and the leathery skin of his cheek drawn in sad lines.

”Mrs. Alex McKenzie, may I come in? I have a few follow-up questions you must answer,” He jeered, crowding into the doorway when I hesitated and sweeping past me with the hard-eyed officer who had followed him in tow.

The detective did not lie when he told us stories of bodies that had been decapi

    ALEXANDERI looked into the hazel eyes that I had once drowned in as she glared back at me.“You’re hurting me!” Darlene managed to choke out, and something snapped in the red haze that seemed to have coated my senses, dulling them.I relaxed my grip around her neck instantly, my eyes widening when I realized what I had done as my wife turned around to cough up air, knocking a hand against her ribs.“I’m...I’m sorry Dar, I didn't mean to -” I started, but the woman raised a hand in dismissal, backing away from me even though the hate swimming in her once soft eyes was enough to pin me in place, making the breath halt in my chest.“I’m not leaving the manor because of that whore! Where would we go? No! I refuse it,” Darlene spat acidly, and I felt tendrils of frustration tug at my eyelids before I rocked on my feet, steeling myself.My mother had always told me to take some time and count to ten, whenever I felt the lapse coming like I was on the edge of a cliff looking down into an in

    DARLENEMy heart pounded hotly between the cages of my ribs as I stood under the staggering neon-lit mass of Du Merges hotel.A shiver of anticipation climbed my spine and I wrapped my hands around myself, glancing about the lot in the grey darkness before shouldering my way past the revolving glass doors.“Miss Spenser please, for Mr. McKenzie,” I whispered hoarsely to the four-eyed woman at the reception, the fake name burning my lips more than the coffee I had earlier.The morose-looking woman struck the matte black keyboard wordlessly, as the noise of the guests mingling in the expansive gold lobby blurred in my ears.Christ Darlene, what the fuck was I doing? Squirreling around York city in the dead of night with my husband’s brother?I ground my teeth together, shuffling from one high-heeled shoe to the other and feeling the threads of panic needle in my gut as the clack of the woman typing on continued.I was almost turning my back on the woman to bolt out the doors, certain th

    LAURA DIEGOThe Umbrella man’s words had been specific, quick to the kill, no chase. It was all I could do not to let the pressure in my bladder burst through between my legs as the steely voice on the other end barked out instructions.I’d logged him into Frederick’s comps, watching the red dot of his car on the GPS as it idled in front of the rickety column of the Du Merges map hotel.My chest burned with hate as I watched the red dot disappear, realizing that was where he planned to meet Darlene. “That insufferable little cunt!” I growled, gritting my teeth and digging my fingers so far back into my palms that they were bloody when they came away.I marched to the mirror after the line went dead, trusting that the man had already made all the arrangements for the next phase of the plan.There was no way I was going to let that slovenly little piece of crap ruin everything I had put my blood and sweat and body to. Boob jobs did not come cheap, and I had made sure my oranges were es

    DARLENE”What is this?” Fredrick’s raspy baritone caressed the shell of my ear before I felt the hard muscle of his chest press into my back as his hand came from behind me to try the door.I inhaled sharply, my body tensing as it melted into his and I felt the distinct hardness of his cock pressing between my cheeks.“Get away from me!” I screamed suddenly, snapping out of the spell the man seemed to have on me and whirling to face him, only noting the hurt on his face for a split second before his expression hardened.Had he locked us in? Playing me like a goddamned fool?“What the hell did you do to the door?” I breathed raggedly, putting a good distance between us and watching the man shake his head sadly.“You really think I would hurt you, Dar?” He whispered shakily, the spark of pain in his voice making me pause.There was no way he didn't know what was up with the door. I’d taken my eyes off him for one second to glance around the room, and now the door won't open?I smelled a

    ALEXANDERI’d lost her, the bright red convertible of my wife’s car, between the sardine of cars that wove in between us on the highway.“God-fucking-dammit!” I bellowed, slamming my hands on the steering wheel and gritting my teeth as panic wove through my eyelids until my vision was a pinhole of primly tarred lots and neon lights.Where the hell had Darlene disappeared to? Had she known I was following her? “No,” I shook my head, I had been careful to make sure I stayed out of sight, inching forward just enough to keep her in my periphery, until she vanished.I rumbled the matte black wagon to a slow crawl, letting my eyes scan the dense lot of the side streets, doing a double take when I spotted the lime green BMW of my brother’s car.“Frederick?” I rasped huskily, glancing at the blinking gold cursive of the digital clock and feeling the frown lines on my forehead deepen.What was he doing here? Out so late? Prince Charles’ warnings about my brother’s meetings with Stefan McCoy r

    DARLENE“Alexander! Wait!” I screamed, tumbling after the dark-haired man who had broken through the door of the hotel room, stilling when he had seen the awkward embrace I had been in with Frederick, his brother.“Don’t Dar, it’s dangerous! He’s not himself right now!” Fredrick rasped, his large hand hooking on my upper arm as he stared down at me intensely, his blue eyes ablaze with what I thought was worry.Gosh! What was I thinking? I shook myself from his grip, watching hurt flicker across his face and shaking my head before bolting for the door, slapping my hands on the frame to peer around the dimly lit block.“It’s not what you think Alexander!” I screamed as my bare feet slapped loudly on the wood, cringing when I realized that was just about the worst thing I could have said. The anthem of every cheating bastard.Almost there! I was almost there, if I could just reach out and touch him! Alexander would understand, surely?“Please! Listen to me! I was doing this for us!” I w

I didn’t want to, but the image of my brother dipping his head to her open breasts was still too fresh in my mind.“Watch where yer going asshole!” The shrill scream of the man overtaking me snapped me back to reality just as the wash of bright yellow headlights blinded me and I spun the wheel wildly, hearing the screech of tires on asphalt between the incessant horns as I narrowly avoided being flattened by the oncoming truck.“Christ,” I swore, fishtailing the car into a straight line and swiping at the sheen of sweat that had formed on my brow, my heart still racing.Fucking macarons on a chopstick!

It was risky, the Umbrella Man had told me, but I couldn't help myself.I had d to see the moment Alexander walked in on that bitch cozying up to MY man, and boy, was it worth it!To see the horror on her uppity face when the scary McKenzie stormed in, not ramming her into the wall like I had expected him to, and instead, walking away.There had been no reason for me to stick around after they had left, except to hear the strawberry blonde-haired man curse loudly from the closed brown wood of his hotel room door and jerking away when the sound of glass crashing and clattering loudly, rounding the corner only seconds

    DARLENE“Rise and shine sleepy heads! Breakfast’s ready!” Prince Charles’ booming baritone cracked through my skull before a wash of yellow light bored through my closed eyelids so that I groaned, breaking into a chuckle when Alexander groaned beside me.“Fucking hell Charles, did your parents not teach you to knock?” My husband hissed, throwing the soft white duvet away from his hard body and stretching to his feet to snatch the coffee mug the purple-eyed man held out like a peace offering in one hand, his gaze sliding over to me and darkening a shade before he smirked.“I don't believe they did,” He whispered breathlessly, nodding his head to the door where the strawberry blonde-haired man was leaning against the doorframe in brown capri pants, a pearly grin stretched across his smooth face.“Have some decency Frederick, my wife’s in the room,” Alexander whispered, scoffing loudly and sipping his tea as I stretched a yawn and shimmyed away from the bed to rest my head on my husband’

    FREDERICK“Die motherfucker,” I gritted, pressing my finger into the claw of the trigger and feeling the gun jerk in my hands, the impact pulling me forward so that I tumbled into the stone flooring.“Come on! Go go go!” I screamed through gritted teeth, waving my hands wildly at Darlene and pushing her around the car as she surged through the barrage of shots pummeling us and firing off a few more rounds as the Umbrella man roared with pain, tearing the knife from his eye with an impossibly loud sucking sound.“I need to get closer,” I hissed through my teeth as I rounded the bend of the car to meet Alwxander’s tense body where he was hunched, hiding from the rain of bullets with Darlene curled in his arms.I swallowed the bile that had risen in my throat, jabbing my fingers into my palms to battle the wooziness that stabbed the sides of my head and peering through the rim of black sedan to see that the man now had a gaping hole in one eye that still spurted blood as he glared around

    STEFAN MCCOYMy knuckles were white on the trigger as I watched the man’s hard body as he walked slowly into the room, his eyes never leaving the gun I had pressed dutifully against his wife’s empty ass head.“No sudden moves Alexander or I’ll have the woman’s brains plastered across the floor,” I growled through clenched teeth as Alexander staggered into the room with his father and more of my men surrounding them.I had known something was off the minute I left the penthouse, even before the sound of gunshots echoed out behind us and I asked Markov to turn the car around.The white penthouse with its flashing lights and tall pine trees loomed as ghastly as ever, as I motioned the men every which way, feeling adrenaline rush through my veins when the sounds of gunfire exploded around the sides of the house as my men sniffed the bastards out like the rats that they were.“Please, McCoy, don't do this, My wife has nothing to do with this okay?

    DARLENE“Something’s wrong,” I whispered breathlessly, feeling the hairs on the back of my neck stand straight as I watched the man with the Jerry curls stride away from the large lattice silver gates, a gun held tightly in his right hand.“What the fuck do you mean something’s wrong? McCoy’s going with most of his men! This is our cue to go in, grab the twins, plant the bombs, and hightail the fuck out of here in time for Mrs. McKenzie’s dinner special,” Erwin snapped blithely from his crouch beside me, the rim of a sniper rifle held tightly in his hands, as he peered through the scope.“Lassie’s right, this seems too easy, they must have found out about the decoy car approaching already, that's the only reason for him to leave...and yet,” Williams McKenzie growled on my right flank, raising the tight hulk of his frame into a low squat and inching to slap himself against the tree, the burnt orange blackness of the forest blending perfectly with our camo gear.“We should-” Erwin start

    ALEXANDERThe bright fluorescent lights tore through my eyelids to fry my eyeballs before I had even opened my eyes. I groaned, the soreness in my arms and stiff legs making me groan louder as I let my head fall back into my chest.What the hell did the bastard hit me with? Fucking hulk?“Ugh!” I groaned, screwing one eye open to lock gazes with my brother’s blanched face and watching him sag with relief when he saw that I had opened my eyes.“Alexander? Fuck! Thank saints you're okay,” He rasped breathlessly and I felt the scowl deepen between my eyebrows as I glared at the swollen purple bruises on his face that had left the skin of his face puffy and red.“Your buddy didn't take too kindly to you I reckon, stabbed you in the fucking balls just like you did to me you piece of shit!” I barked acidly, watching my brother rear back on the chair that he was strapped to like he had been slapped.I looked down to see I was lying on some makeshift gurney table, feeling my heart pound wildl

    DARLENE“Where is he? Where’s my husband?” I whizzed when I caught up to the ring chief scowling in the middle of the road, his hands fixed patiently on his narrow hips.“He’s gone Dar, that McCoy took him,” Prince Charles gritted, eyeing me carefully before I noticed his hand cupping the large gash on his chest, the trickle of blood pooling on the purple suit staining the area black.“Here, let’s get you to the car,” I gritted through clenched teeth, managing to push the words past the lump that had grown in my throat and tugging the man’s hand free when he resisted before hooking it over one shoulder, grunting when he leaned his weight on me a little.I could hear the whirl of sirens in the distance as they got closer and I yelped, slamming to a stop when the purple-eyed man stopped suddenly in his tracks.What the hell was it with mafia men and having death wishes?

    FREDERICK“Did you have to do it that hard?” I whispered, feeling tears gather in my eyes as I watched the Umbrella Man tower over my brother’s limp body, his brown eyes almost luminescent in the dark.“Quiet Frederick, you're ruining my groove, take him.” Stefan McCoy growled and I felt my heart hammer in my ribs as the masked ninjas dropped from the trees like banana monkeys, hooking my brother’s hard body onto the stretcher as I watched on with widened eyes.“Is he dead?” I rasped breathlessly, feeling panic burn in my chest as I trotted after the men, the crunch of dried leaves under my feet sounding loud in the silence as the masked men marched my brother to the large white van that had been parked off to the side of the highway.“Not yet,“ The Umbrella man whispered, rubbing his hands together in glee as they loaded him into the van and I felt a flicker of doubt spark in my chest.“So it’s all good now right? Everything will go as planned now?” I coughed, scarcely trusting mysel

    ALEXANDERIt took longer than I would have liked for my eyes to adjust to the near blackness as I entered the forest.“Where are you? You son of a bitch,” I ground through clenched teeth, waving the gun this way and that and aware of the way I was panting loudly, carefully placing one foot in front of the other.My arms were starting to get sore from holding the gun up and high, my knuckles white on the trigger as I crept along the line of trees, freezing when I thought I had heard the distinct sound of a tree branch snapping.Could this get any fucking worse? Did the motherfucker have to pick the shittiest forest in the whole of New York to make his dramatic comeback?“Go on and run away like the coward that you fucking are McCoy, I can smell that cheap perfume from a mile away,” I jeered loudly, feeling goosebumps rise on my skin when my distorted voice echoed back to me in the blackness.I tried to focus past the hum that had started in my ears but my mind was not following my eyes
