And you know what the best part is? Even if you hadn\u2019t killed Jess I still would have left you eventually because you\u2019re abusive and controlling and you would have shown your true colors sooner or later. So really all you did was speed up the process and make sure that when I did leave you I\u2019d have even\u00a0<\/p>\n
more reasons to hate you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daxon\u2019s control finally snapped and he lunged forward and backhanded me across the face so hard that stars exploded behind my eyes and I tasted\u00a0<\/p>\n
blood in my mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI said shut up!\u201d he roared and his voice echoed off the concrete walls.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I spit blood onto the floor at his feet and looked up at him with a smile that was all teeth and malice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that all you\u2019ve got?\u201d I asked and my voice was steady even though my cheek was throbbing. \u201cHit me again Daxon. Show me what a big strong man you are. Show me how you win arguments by beating up women who are chained to walls.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He raised his hand again but then stopped himself and took a step back like he was trying to regain control of himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou think you\u2019re so smart don\u2019t you?\u201d he said and his voice was low and dangerous. \u201cYou think you can make me angry enough to do something stupid.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018I don\u2019t think it Daxon I know it. Because you\u2019re predictable and you\u2019re weak and you always have been. That\u2019s why you need chains and weapons and\u00a0<\/p>\n
help from crazy women to feel powerful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stared at me for a long moment and then his smile came back but it was different now and somehow even more frightening than his anger had been.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re right about one thing Athena,\u201d he said and his voice was calm again which was somehow worse than when he was screaming.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am going to kill Tristan and I\u2019m going to make you watch every second of it. But first I\u2019m going to make him watch while I break you into so many pieces that there won\u2019t be anything left for him to save.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He walked toward the stairs and paused at the bottom to look back at me one more time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018And when he\u2019s dead and you\u2019re broken I\u2019m going to keep you alive for a very long time so you can think about how this all could have been avoided if you had just kept his name out of your mouth that night.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Even if you kill Tristan, it still won\u2019t make me yours, or change the fact that I moaned out his name, because you\u2019ll just be a murderer standing in a room full of ghosts and screaming at a woman who will never ever love you back. I\u2019ll always hate you even in death\u00a0<\/p>\n
His jaw tightened and his eyes burned with rage but I didn\u2019t stop.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re stupid Daxon\u2018 I said while spitting the words like venom. \u201cBecause even after everything you\u2019ve done and after all this blood and all this pain, t am still his and I will always be his. And when I die it\u2019ll be with the thought of om sex on my mind. How he finally made me moaned his name nonstop, something you couldn\u2019t do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The silence between us was electric and tense and dangerous.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daxon\u2019s face darkened while the fury rolled off him in waves but I held his gaze and smiled because for the first time since this nightmare began I felt\u00a0<\/p>\n
like I had power again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow about I tell you how she was murdered\u201d he said coming down the step like he\u2019d changed his mind from leaving, his voice was soft again but there was something in it that made my blood freeze.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 176\u00a0<\/p>\n
I shook my head frantically my smile dieing immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t want to hear them, no I can\u2019t.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo no no\u00a0<\/p>\n
I thought you had a sharp mouth?\u2018 He asked with a victorious sinister smile and I could see the satisfaction in his eyes at watching me break down\u00a0<\/p>\n
again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease don\u2019t\u2018 tears were now spilling down my face because I couldn\u2019t hear this and I didn\u2019t want to know but I could see in his eyes that he was gring\u00a0<\/p>\n
to tell me anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was going to make me listen and there was nothing I could do to stop him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was so beautiful\u201d he said and his voice was almost dreamy now like he was remembering something pleasant. \u201cEven when she was screaming.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop\u201d I whispered but he kept going and his eyes never left my face while he watched every emotion flicker across it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was now standing so close to me that I could hear him like a loud speaker plugged to my Hear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018I followed her for weeks before I made my move because I wanted to know her routine and I wanted to know when she\u2019d be most vulnerable and pregnant women, well they\u2019re always vulnerable aren\u2019t they?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
