“Shanked.”
“Fucker deserves it for what he did. Good.”
She moves on to telling me about Dominic, how they started up the business together. She starts laughing when she tells me about how they first met. “So I’m standing at the bar, with my girls, and he comes sauntering over and says, no joke, says ‘mine’ as he grabs my hand and drags me onto the dance floor. At first I told him to shove it, mine, who says that shit?” she says laughing. “Then he says, ‘honey, shut up.’ Since then we’ve been inseparable.”
She’s just finishing up the last of the tattoos and starts cleaning up. I stand up and look in the mirror. “Holy shit.”
“Looks great huh?”
“Hell yes.” I say admiring the work done. “You are the best.”
She laughs. “Yeah, I get told that all the time.”
I pay up front at the desk, leaving her a nice tip. “Don’t be stranger!” she yells to me as I walk out.
The last bit of evil Caleb placed on me is gone. Finally fucking gone!

Derek
I look at my phone and realize Rylie hung up. I look up to Melody and Erika. “What appointment?”
Erika shakes her head to say no clue.
Melody shrugs. “Pfft, I don’t know, she didn’t even call me. Here I thought she was supposed to be my Aussie bestie and tell me shit. But let’s not talk about her, lets talk about how you are moving your shit into her house, hoping she doesn’t realize you are doing it.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I lie.
“Bullshit cocksucker! Rylie told me you’ve slept at her house, every night since you fucked her. Suddenly she finds herself in a relationship, and the dude moves in with her.” I knew Rylie noticed my shit. I just grin at Melody. “Or, how about the time we all went out to the movies, and some guy started talking to her, and you were practically humping her.” I burst out laughing.
“Yeah, the guy thought he could get in her pants, I was making it clear she was mine. And no, I wasn’t humping her!” I say through my laughter. Then turn serious. “It’s been years Mel, since Caleb, She’s known me almost a year now. I was sick of waiting for her to see it.” I tell her matter of factly.
“No, I agree. She’s been moving on, on her own for a while, nice to see her with a good man.” Mel says. Never seen her be so serious before. She’s all about saying bitch and cocksucker all the damn time when she’s talking. “Now, enough serious shit.”
I shake my head at her. I’ve never been to Canada, but I often wonder if they have a ghetto there, ‘cause this shit is nuts. Hell, Nikki was crazy nuts too. Are all Canadians crazy?
“Well, I gotta head to work. Later.”
Chapter 22
Rylie
I went to the salon after my appointment, and showed the girls my new art work. Melody thought it was epic. Erika just smiled.
“Going for lunch.” I call out.
“Bitch, you just got here, and you’re already heading out for lunch?” Mel calls back.
“Shut up! You know I don’t have clients today until three. So bite me.” I hear Mel laughing as I walk out.
I walk straight to Derek’s office. I cannot wait to show him my new art. As soon as I walk through the door, I see that bitch Cecily. “Can I help you?”
I shake my head and walk past her, I am in too good of a mood to put up with her shit today. When I get near Derek’s office, I see that his door is open. He is sitting at his desk talking on the phone. I walk in the door, and he jerks his head towards mine. A smile comes across his face as he mouths the words. “One minute, babe.”
Fuck that, I have waiting years to be proud of my body. I am not waiting another damn minute. I shut the door and lock it. Then, I whip my shirt over my head and walk towards him. His mouth drops open, and he phone slides down, then he hangs it up. He is staring right at my new tattoo.
“Do you like it?” I say with a sexy smile and walk around the desk.
“I fucking love it!” he growls out.
“Do you want a closer look?”
He nods his head, and I climb onto his lap. It’s been a long time, since I have played the aggressor. I forgot how much fun this shit was. “If you are really good boy, I will let you play connect the stars tonight.”
He places his hands on my hips and squeezes. “Fuck tonight, we are playing right now.”
He starts to bring his lips to mine, when I hear a cough come from the corner of the room. I feel Derek freeze under me. “Fuck! I forgot. I am sorry baby.”
I turn my head and see Derek’s Dad sitting there with a shit eating grin on his face.
“I love my son, and I’m glad to know that he has got a fine ass woman that likes to play.” He says, while cocking his eyebrow. “But, I don’t really want to watch.”
I jump up and grab my shirt. I slip it over my head then look over to Derek. His face is filled with concern. I know he is afraid that I am going to freak out that his Dad just saw me act like a slut. Maybe, I should freak out. But, I’m not. In fact, I am having a hard time keeping from laughing.
When I hear the first chuckle leave William’s throat, I can’t hold it back any longer. I start to giggle then I hear Derek start to chuckle. Before long, we are all laughing our asses off.
~***~
Cecily
It’s been months and Derek is still with that woman. I watch her walk down the hall to his office. I don’t hate her, I feel sorry for her. But, I can’t help but feel the way I do, she’s not the one for Derek. As I watch her close the door behind her, a voice gets my attention.
“I take it you don’t like her?” It’s Connor. I’ve slept with him a few times. He’s into kink, kind of freaked me out, but in the end he always made it pleasurable.
“Not that I don’t like her, I just want Derek.”
“And I want Rylie. Maybe we can help each other?” I hesitate, only because Connor is bad news for Rylie. Just because I don’t want her with Derek, doesn’t mean she should have to get into another relationship with a guy that boarders on abuse.
I look down the hall when I hear the door open, and see Rylie and Derek in an embrace. I look back to Connor. “Let’s do it.”
“Meet me tonight at my place.” He says then walks off.
~***~
Derek
After we all finish laughing our asses of, I pull Rylie in and have her sit in my lap. I forgot my Dad was even here when she came in, whipped her shirt off, and looked totally fuckable.
“I’m hungry.” Rylie pouts. “I forgot to bring lunch over.”
“No worries, I’ll order something.” Dad says. “What do ya want?”
“Get me a burger, everything on it, and a side of fries.” I order.
“Fries, mustard packets and a burger, extra mayo and pickles.” Rylie says.
I look at her in confusion. “What’s the mustard for?”
“I eat it with my fries. Yummy.” She says smiling.
“Yummy? More like sick. You’re lucky you’re fucking cute.”
Dad orders up and our food arrives. I watch Rylie loading the mustard on her fries, and I make fake gagging sounds.
“Oh shut up. You eat vinegar with yours, that’s worse than mustard!” she says pretending to look mad.
I laugh.
“Well, I’m out, gotta get home to your mother. Don’t forget, tomorrow for lunch. Your mother wants you two there.” Dad says walking to my office door.
Before he’s out he pokes his head back him. “Next time, make sure no one else is in the room before you decide for office nookie.”
Rylie bursts out laughing, and I can’t help but join in.
~***~
Connor
Cecily knocks on my door, a few minutes after nine. As soon as I open the door, I wonder why in the hell I am chasing Rylie’s bitch ass, when I could be sinking it to this slut. If I play my cards right, maybe I can get a piece of both of them. I lead Cecily into the l
iving room, and we sit down. “How do you want play this?”
She shrugs. “I’m not really sure. Do you have any ideas?”
Yeah, I sure in the hell do. “I want you to make it look like you and Derek are having an affair.”
“I don’t think that will work. Rylie trusts him completely. Unless, she sees it with her own eyes, she will never believe it.” She says, while shaking her head.
“Then, we will just have to make sure she sees it.” I say with a smile.
We spend the next hour planning out the end of Rylie and Derek’s relationship. With this cunts help, I might finally be able to get my hands on the lovely Rylie after all. It’s not that I want her that way, I just want to finish the job Caleb started. That bitch got my cousin locked up, and then he got killed in that place. By the time Cecily leaves, I am so fucking excited that I have to make a trip to the bathroom. Just the thought of Rylie being broken again has me hard as a fucking rock. I stand in front of the mirror watching my hand slide up and down, over my cock. God, it’s going to feel good to make that bitch pay.
It’s only a matter of time before I have that bitch where I want her. Revenge will be sweet.
Chapter 23
Derek
I love watching Rylie and mum together. Mum always wanted a daughter, and now that she has Rylie, it seems that she got her wish. When we come over here, Mum is always fawning all over her. It would drive my ass crazy, but Rylie is loving all the attention. Shit! The truth is Rylie just loves Mum.
She and Dad are even getting pretty tight. I was a little worried that after the freak out, Rylie would shy away from him or he would be nervous around her. But, it’s like the whole damn thing never even happened. He even told her to call him Dad earlier today, and she’s doing it. I swear I heard her voice crack, the first time she said it. But now, she just smiles any time the word passes her lips.
Dad and I are sitting on the patio drinking beers. He keeps looking over to me, and I can tell he wants to say something. I wait a few minutes for him to spit it out, but he doesn’t. “What’s up Dad?”
He chuckles. “Guess, I don’t have much of a poker face.”
“No you don’t. At least not when you keep staring at me.” I say with a smile.
All of a sudden, he gets serious. “You should marry that girl.”
I am shocked as shit, and the quick turn in conversation. Mum says shit like this all the time, but Dad has never even eluded to marriage before. “Why do you say that?”
He shakes his head. “I have never seen you look at anyone like her look at her. I know you love her, and I think it’s time you told her. If anyone needs stability, it’s that girl.”
We both sit quietly for a few minutes. A part of me is really freaking me out, but a larger part is thinking that my father is smart as hell!
I look at my watch and realize how late it is. I have to get some work sent off tonight. If we don’t get out of here, I’ll never get it done. I look over to Rylie and my mum walking through the garden. “Babe, we got to get out of here.” I see Mum and Rylie say a few words to each other then head back to the patio.
Mum looks to Dad. “Darling, I want to go over to Rylie’s for a little while. I’ve heard that her Clematis flowers are almost twice the size of ours, and she planted them herself. I am going to take some pictures of them, and show them to our gardener. “
Mum has always been obsessed with her garden. So, Dad knows better than to complain. He just smiles and nods his head. Ten minutes later, we are all heading to Rylie’s.
~***~
Rylie
Derek and I pull up to my house, with his parents following behind us. Elizabeth said she wanted to see my yard, she heard it was exquisite, and we notice a couple at my front door. The woman has a cigarette hanging out of her mouth and just simply put, looks trashy. The man doesn’t look much better.
I get out of the car and go towards them, Derek at my back. Elizabeth and William trailing behind. “Can I help you?”
The woman looks me over and sneers. “What the fuck happened to you? And is that any way to greet your mumma?”
I still. That means the man next to her is my father. I feel my lunch coming back up and move to the side by the bushes, and let it go. Derek is next to me rubbing my back. Elizabeth and William stand directly behind us. Williams hand on my shoulder. “Derek, make them leave.” I plead.
He looks at me for a moment and see’s the look on my face and nods. “You both need to leave.”
“Who are you? Mr. Uppity?” Mum sneers at him. “And who the fuck are you?” she says pointing to Derek’s parents. Dad this whole time has remained quiet.
“I’m her man, those are my parents and I’m telling you, you need to leave.” Both of them are unmoving.
“We’re here to talk to that little bitch and we’re not leaving until we do.”
That’s it. I finally am feeling somewhat ok, and stand up next to Derek. “What more could you want? Wasn’t it enough to beat me senseless mother?” I spit out. I turn to my father. “What about you? What could you possibly what? You ruined my childhood. You held me down and raped me!” Derek stills beside me, and anger just radiates off him. “I was ten years old.” I shriek. Williams hand tightens on my shoulder and I hear Elizabeth let out a strangled sob.
“Let’s not do this business here. Inside.” William says firmly.
We head inside and I sit on the couch. Sandwiched between William and Derek. Elizabeth stand behind the couch with her hands on my shoulders.
My father finally speaks up. “Not even going to greet your pops Ry?”
“Are you fucking kidding me? After everything you and she did to me. Why would I ever great you?” They both look haggard. Too much cocaine and heroin. “Why are you even here?”
“It took a lot of years to find you, first we heard about what happened on the news with that boyfriend of yours. Shame he didn’t finish the job he was trying to do. You’re still here.” Mum says sneering at me.
I don’t’ get the chance to speak. Elizabeth steps in. “How dare you speak to her like that. Rylie is an amazing person. Don’t know where she got it from because she sure as hell didn’t get it from you two.”
“That little bitch is nothing, don’t let her fool you.”
“Enough! Tell me why the fuck you are here, then leave.” I yell.
“We’re here because my mum passed away, and for some fucking stupid reason she left you everything. So, we’re here to have you sign these papers to give it all to us. I won’t let you take what should be mine.” Mum says, tossing papers at me.
William takes them from me and looks them over. “Do you know who I am?” he asks my parents. “I’m William Tremaine.” My parents go pale. They must know who he is. “You won’t be getting a dime.” He says and rips up the papers. “You even try to mess with Rylie, you’ll have me breathing down your necks. And you won’t like what I’m capable of.”
“We don’t want no trouble. We’ll be happy to never see that little whore again. We just want that money.” Dad says.
“No. You want the money to keep you in drugs. I won’t give it to you.” I say.
“Listen here you little—“Mum starts.
“No, you listen. My whole life you beat the shit out of me, and turned a blind eye when Daddy would sneak into my room at night. I don’t owe you shit and I’m not giving it to you. If you don’t leave my house right now, I’ll have you arrested, and I bet you anything you both have drugs on you.”
Chapter 24
Derek
When I hear the words leave Rylie’s mouth, I fucking flip. I jump right on her bastard father. I take him down then I send my fist into his nose. I hear his nose break, but I don’t stop. My fists just keep smashing into his face. I have no idea how many times I punched the fucker, before my Dad pulls me off him. I still wasn’t done. So, I kick him in the ribs a few more times, before Dad can get me away.
“How could you do something like tha
t? She is your own fucking daughter?” I yell.
Rylie’s fathers face is covered in blood, as he pulls himself off the ground. I am surprised as fuck, when he smiles at me then looks towards Rylie. “If you don’t give us the money now, we will have your little boyfriend put in jail.”
I look at Rylie, just as she starts to open her mouth. There is no doubt in my mind that she is going to give them whatever they want, just to save my ass. But, she is cut off by my Dad. “Like I said before. You are not getting a penny. Derek and Rylie have been with me and my wife all afternoon. We have house full of servants that will verify that there is no way he could have attacked you.”
“There are people everywhere.” Rylie’s mums starts to shout. “There is no way you can lie about him doing this.”
An evil smile crosses my Dad’s face. “You see, you ignorant bitch, I have more money that you can even imagine. By this time tomorrow, every mortgage in this entire neighborhood will paid in full. Then all these people you see will be struck with a case of temporary amnesia.”
I stop listening and walk over to Rylie. Dad can straighten this shit out. I need to take care of my woman right now. As soon as we walk through the door, she jerks away and runs to the kitchen. I figure that she is going to have a total meltdown. So, I chase after her.
Instead of freaking out, Rylie is getting ice from the freezer. She dumps a bunch on a dishtowel and rushed back to me. She grabs the hand that I used to beat her father and places the ice on it. Then, she looks up at me. “I am so glad that you were here. I could not have handled them without you. Just knowing you were standing beside me gave me the strength to stand up to them for the first time in my life.”
She reaches up and gives me a soft kiss on the lips. “Thank you, baby.”
~***~
Rylie
Elizabeth and William left shortly after my parents did, making sure they left town and wouldn’t come back. They said they’d call us later. I look to Derek, sitting beside me on the couch. I can’t help but smile. I’ve never had anyone fight for me before. I’ve had a few friends in high school that didn’t even blink or say a word when I’d show up with cuts and bruises all over me. As soon as I started saying things about my parents, in front of Derek, he beat the shit out of my Dad. I don’t agree with violence, not with everything that has happened to me, but my father deserved it. And seeing Derek as pissed and upset he was with my father, it makes me fall even more for this man.
