Zero and Beauty's Breath (A Satan Sniper's Motorcycle Club Series Book 3 - 4) novel Chapter 72

I don't need to be an Enforcer to understand that Beauty is going through some heavy and deep shit. She is remembering what happened, recalling all those long ago, dark memories, where my brother was the star of the show.

I stand by the door asking myself do I even deserve to be in this room. When I left her here, I went to hunt down Thorn with every intention of killing him.

The way my head was thinking, I was a train wreck when I found him.

I beat him up but I couldn’t do it. Truth is Thorn is my brother and I can’t kill my brother.

I wanted to get him locked up but Thorn reminded me why I couldn’t do that.

“You forget that your woman is a wanted fugitive, if I call the cops they’ll arrest her. Her family will make sure she gets killed by the morning. They don’t like it when things get messy.”

My chest is heaving, as I stand over my bleeding brother. He’s confessed to a lot in this short time at this small cabin I found him hiding in. He left the facility walking perfectly fine. He had me fooled.

I shake my head in disgust, “I once looked up to you, but now when I think of you, I just want to spit on the ground. You will always be family, but Thorn, you are no fucking brother to me.”

I walk out, and I do it hoping that he leaves and never looks back. Because maybe I can’t kill him today, but I have no idea if I will wake up tomorrow and feel the same way.

So hesitation as I stand in front of this hospital door is granted.

Do I even deserve to breathe the same air as she does? Where she looks for vengeance was once my place of peace, and now just a reminder of how life can never be predicted.

I told her that I couldn’t do it.

She told me that she would.

I open the door, she is sitting by the window, looking out. She has sat there since I last saw her last night. I know because I have a camera on the light above the door.

“You didn't have to come so early,” She says to me.

“I wanted too, I love you, Beauty.”

She faces me and I wish she didn’t. She looks so frail in that hospital gown, her hair knotted. Her body so small, like she is defenceless but I know that isn’t true.

Her smile proves it, “Do you? When I kill your brother will you still love me then?”

“I just might, that’s what scares me, but do you know what kills me?” I ask her, as she faces the window again.

“Yes, I do.”

“What is it?”

“That your love for me will destroy you.”

“It kills me that my love for you is not strong enough, it kills me that deep down I want it to be even knowing that he killed my unborn child. But he is my brother Amariya and what kind of a man will I be if I don’t ask you to have mercy.”

“Mercy is for those who have something to lose. Where was my babies mercy?”

I march up to her, place my hand on hers. My knees bend as I go head level to hers.

“You’re not thinking clearly. You are hurting.” I touch her cheek, her hand lays on top of mine.

She gives me a sad smile, “I am thinking perfectly fine Zero."

"He is my brother."

"And he killed your son. What does that say about your brother?”

"Really?” I sound incredulous as I stand up and take a few steps back from her.

“That’s it. You’re just going to kill him? You’ll give up everything, throw away all that we can have for what? We can try again, have ten dozen kids Amariya.”

“It was always going to be this way Zero. I told you we aren’t meant to be Zero and Beggar. I was always a passer-by. There is nothing that you can say that will change my mind. So just leave."

My head drops at her confession, can't blame her for her actions.

"What about Lucca, will you kill him too?"

"Lucca will get what is coming to him. There are worse faiths than death. But now I need you to leave, jump on your bike and go away. I need my strength to fight another day."

It breaks me when she says that, she won’t even look at me.
