Chapter 0353
“He always said women were too far below him. “As cruel as he could be, he never really liked abuse for the fun of it. Cash was… well Gunther walked in and saw. He had Cash by the neck. Cash was getting ready to gut Gunther so I took a knife that was on the floor and sliced Cashes neck. Gunther said he would take care of it. Next thing I knew, I was being sold.”
“Did Sherry ever say anything to you about it?” I asked, still wrapping my head around it.
“No. First time I saw her was when you were there.”
“Have you spoken to he here?” I clarified.
“Oh, no. She just asked if I was okay!” Eleanor looked down at her hands. The office went quiet for awhile, absorbing what she just said.
“Should we confront Sherry?” I asked Colt in the mind link.
“They are on their way.” Colt said, immediately.
“Did you ever hear about Vin wanting to take over?”
“Not particularly. He wanted to be the top dog. He probably left the building, hoping they all died so he could take over. He would say, “if I was alpha’ and try to throw his weight around.”
There was a knock on the door that made Eleanor jump clear out of her skin. “It’s okay.” I said as Colt opened the door. Jacob and Sherry walked in. I couldn’t help but see anxiety spread across Sherry’s face.
“Sherry, please have a seat.” Colt said. “Jacob, you stay over here.” “What’s going on?” Sherry’s voice shook as she talked.
“Sherry. I need to ask you some questions. We are trying to gather
voice.
“O-okay?”

“Please tell us your life before finding Jacob.” I asked.
“I-I was a sl ave. Mainly cooking and cleaning until I was sold to those guys that Colt and Alec killed.”
“Why were you sold?” I pushed.
“I wasn’t useful anymore so they got rid of me.” Sherry kept dancing around the subject.
“It wasn’t because you’re mate died?” I asked. Sherry looked at Eleanor like she betrayed her.
“WHAT?” Jacob asked. He tried to take a few steps forward but Colt and Alec stopped him.
“Why does it matter?” Sherry looked at me angerly. This was a very different then the shy Sherry.
“Because omitting is still lying. You know more than you originally told us.” I kept my voice and face passive.
“Women were nothing. I was kept in our room until she killed him. Then I was useless and I was sold. Before I was at least only abused by one man and because of her, I was given to more men.”
Eleanor jumped up and backed away. “He was torturing me!” Tears threatened to falls. Still, her face held strong.
“You and everyone else. He was still my mate. At least I responded to him. After awhile, he wasn’t that bad. He-he even was nice
sometimes.” Sherry pleaded.
I’ve heard of Stockholm syndrome but I hadn’t actually seen it till now. Her eyes looked at me, hoping would understand.
“Who the f uck were you mated to?” Jacob asked, clearly mad.
“Cash.” Sherry looked at him.

“Cash… as in ga mma Cash that we met in Kristen’s shop?” Jacob looked at Colt.
“Yes.”
Jacob looked at Sherry like she betrayed him. I felt horrible, knowing their relationship was going to be on the line. More than once, he opened his mouth and closed it again before storming out of the office. Colt followed him. Alec stood by the door. Keeping the link open between Colt and I so he could hear, I continued.
“Did Vin ever come to talk to Cash?” I continued.
“Yes. None of that matters now. Cash is dead.” Sherry got comfortable in the chair and put her face in her hands.
