The Bully's Obsession novel Chapter 69

　　HAYDEN

　　I stared at the motel in front of me, it was quite late and only a few people walking around.

　　The light rain pelted against my skin as I took a surveying glance around, it would be the perfect spot to meet.

　　Gracie's phone had binged with a text from an unknown number earlier, telling her to meet here, I didn't have to think twice before I knew who had sent it.

　　It was perfect for me because I have been wanting to meet him. Too bad for him that the person he expected wasn't the one waiting for him.

　　The sound of my boot made a crunching sound on the gravel as I came to a halt. I waited for a few seconds just behind the motel but still nothing. I was beginning to get impatient .

　　"Are you going to continue hiding ? why don't you come out ?" I spoke aloud.

　　I heard a sound behind me and turned around swiftly to be met with the barrel of a gun.

　　My gaze traveled to meet his , my remote expression revealing nothing.

　　For a moment we stared, gauging each other silently.

　　"I would keep that down if I were you detective " I spoke, unable to keep the icy edge out of my tone.

　　I surveyed the man who had been keeping tail on us for some weeks now, Apparently he couldn't hide his trail well enough as he got discovered.

　　Sebastian had specifically wanted to get rid of him but for some reason I was hesitant. I didn't know if I should call him brave or stupid for trying to meet Gracie and thought I wouldn't know anything about it.

　　And to think that she hadn't been entirely honest to me about meeting him. The thought set my mouth in a grim line. She must have thought I was going to hurt him or worse..

　　she wouldn't have been too wrong about that though , especially now that he was holding a gun to my face .

　　"I'm fucking asking you to keep that down " I spoke again , this time my patience wearing thin.

　　"I'm not intimidated by you " he grounded out , his fingers tightening even further.

　　He was tough, pity that attribute wouldn't get him anywhere at this instant of time.

　　This was way more interesting than I had thought .

　　A slow sinister smile spread across my face.

　　"Well you should be , because any moment from now you'll be a fucking dead man "

　　His gaze narrowed suspiciously at me for a second, before catching at the sight behind me .

　　"You motherfuc.... " A bullet wheezed past his head interrupting whatever he was about to say.

　　"You are out numbered, the next one won't miss, I assure you " I spoke levelly, satisfied when he dropped down his gun.

　　"Now let's get down to business shall we? "

　　I met his furious gaze with a blank expression, I knew he wasn't like the other cops that could be easily paid off, he had interrupted our plans a few times which I wouldn't say was wise because he managed to piss my brother off.

　　"You met her today " I spoke in a matter of factly , I held up her cellphone to which he had texted her to meet over the important matter he had told her about this afternoon.

　　"What important thing do you have to tell her? "

　　"I'm not telling you shit! " he snapped then continued.

　　"Why do you have them? I found out she's been hiding from you, that's the reason she changed her identity, I refuse to believe that she went with you willingly. "

　　"So you wanted to rescue her? " a low dark chuckle escaped my mouth, he was clearly not as smart as I had thought he was.

　　I took a quick glance around, I refused to waste any more time here with him.

　　"Stay away from my business...and from HER. " I spoke icily , enunciating each word clearly because I won't be responsible for anything that happens if he gets further involved in our matters, maybe he wasn't in any danger from me but I wouldn't say he was safe from Sebastian.

　　"It's only a matter of time before I get enough evidence against you " he spoke as if that would be enough to frighten me, I was the only predator over here.

　　"That might be true, but don't you think you should stay alive for that? "

　　His gaze took a quick scan around, as if my men would jump at him any moment .

　　"No need to get alerted, if I wanted ,then I wouldn't be standing here talking to you, you would have been fucking dead already." I spoke in a tight tone.

　　"And I'm supposed to be thankful to you? i'm not intimidated by you, I know you first of all kidnapped Hazel then you forced her to come with you "

　　I didn't miss the sudden look in his gaze whenever he talked about Gracie, I was beginning to get why he was bitching so much and going in circles.

　　"Even if that is true, it's none of your damn business, they are my family Gracie is MINE , as well as our daughter , you don't need to worry about her, because she's well taken care off by me!"

　　A look of anger and something else flashed through his gaze , a look that I knew all all too well.
