*I remember when you told me he would keep getting away with everything he did because he had connections with the cops. I was angry that he would still be running free and you would always be scared of him coming back to hurt you…”

I wanted to eliminate that possibility. I wanted you to know that he’d never be able to come back and hurt you…”

Lori’s eyes became blurry with tears.

“Gabriel…”

She breathed, her hands on her mouth to stop the sobs from spilling out completely.

Asher. Captured. Those two words, she had never thought she’d hear them in the same sentence.

Gabriel reached for his phone in his back pocket and showed Lori a video.

It was a short video, but it was a cctv footage that showed a dark dirty basement. Although the lighting was dim, Lori could still make out Asher’s features. Her heart was beating sporadically in her chest as she watched the videos, Gabriel noticed how fast it was beating and he put a hand on her shoulder to

calm her down a bit.

Asher was seating in a chair in the middle of the dark empty room,

grunts.

his hands and legs tied, his head was tilted back, facing the ceiling as he let out tired

She couldn’t believe it.

It really was him.

Gabriel paused the video and put his phone on the nightstand.

“I wanted to give you a choice… to tell me what you want me to do to him…

Lori shook her head.

She was still in denial. She couldn’t believe it, that the one man who had caused her pain all those months, locked her up, beat her, raped her, abused her was now sitting in some dark dirty basement awaiting punishment.

From her.

It was surreal.

It felt like something out of a movie. She had given up on the idea of revenge. She never even thought about it for too long because it sounded impossible….

for someone as weak as she was.

She thought all she had to do was live, live and survive every day while running from the evils in her past.

But now… not anymore..

Lori turned to Gabriel.

Chapter 126

“I want you to punish him..”

“Punish him for the things he did to me… every single one of them.”

Gabriel could hear the pain in her voice, he could even feel it… how hard she was hurting.

“Even if the punishment includes death?”

He asked as he turned to her, her eyes darkened, her expression grim, he had never seen her look like that before… something in her had shifted.

“Yes.”

She replied.

“And before you punish him… let him know…let him know that I nailed him to the cross.”

“When are you going to go back?! Can’t stay in this cheap motel forever can you?!”

Kevin asked and Vara grunted. The motel was cheap, dirty and falling apart, the rats walked around their room with unabashed arrogance, poking and everything and anything that resembled food. It took Vara a while to get used to them.

She should leave the motel. It wasn’t befitting of a beta of her status. But she was delirious and desperate and when she was bleeding out, it was the nearest motel Kevin could find while they cleaned up and patched her wound up.

She could leave. If she wanted to she could, but she had more pressing matters to attend to.

In fact, a lot of pressing matters and they had all started right after she led the failed mission that ended up killing all of her team except her and Kevin who had only luckily escaped because he was the designated driver.

Her wound was not healing. Worse, she could not yet go back to Sabine until she felt worthy enough. She had failed. Woefully and miserable and lost good

men too.

Sabine would he pissed. Rightfully so, she had her reservations about them rushing the mission.

And oh well, Gabriel

would have increased his security, so there was no possible way they would be able to try going over there again without facing opposition.

“You know… I’m not holding you down so you can also leave when you want.”

She retorted.

Kevin hesitated, pacing up and down the small room. He was confused. Conflicted/It was supposed to be a clean and easy job but it turned out to be a

disaster.

“It’s not that easy! I lost all my teammates. All because of you!!”

Vara shrugged.

“You’re so very lucky to have emerged entirely unscathed.”
