Black Romance Chapter 59

Jessie growled, lunging at Virgo . With wild arms, she clawed and raked the air, blindly striking his body . "Let him go! I won't let you do this! You're a fucking monster!"

Letting out a loud grunt, Virgo swung a heavy backhand, smacking her across the face .

My body tensed, eager to jump up and help her . But the unknown man behind me tightened the rope, keeping me in place . It killed me that she was so vulnerable, that Virgo could hurt her and there was nothing I could do .

Stumbling backward, Jessie clutched her jaw as her eyes turned to pinpricks . But she wasn't done . Her strength overpowered her pain, her will to fight outshined her sorrow and sadness .

Running at him again, she landed a punch to his chest and an open palm to his cheek . "I hate you! I fucking hate you!"

Crooking his jaw, Virgo drove his hands into her hair and yanked her head back . Jessie let out a cry, reaching her hands up to grab his wrists . "When this is all over, you and I need to have a little talk . I found money in your room, Jessie, that's a big no-no . " Using her hair to pull her head against his face, he forced her to look at me . "Look at him, take a good fucking look . " Biting his bottom lip, an evil smile spread on his face as his eyes connected with mine . "Your boyfriend isn't who you think he is—"

Jerking my body forward, I snarled . "Don't you fucking hurt her . " The cord tightened more, making my voice drop to a whisper .

"I don't have to hurt her, you're going to . What she's going to learn is going to tear her apart . You get to break her this time, I don't have to do a fucking thing . But later, once you're gone and she's all alone, I'll come for her . And then I'll make her hurt again for stealing from me . For now, I'm going to enjoy this . "

"Don't . "

"But it's the reason we're all here, like one big happy family . " Smiling, he spun the flower against her chin, tickling it up her cheek . He looked fucking insane, like a crazed mental patient . "You and Bentley are connected, did you know that, my sweet girl?"

Jessie didn't answer, keeping her eyes on me .

"This isn't your place," I huffed out, my words dry and hoarse .

"But doesn't she deserve the truth? You want to buy her, you want to set her free . But, I think she should know the entire story before she willingly accepts you as her hero . "

Jessie's eyes were wide and nervous . "What are you talking about? I don't understand what you're talking about . "

"Do you want to tell her?" he asked, smirking from ear to ear . "Oh wait, you're a little tied up . Maybe I should just do it . "

Holding out my hand, I tried to soften my expression, despite the fact that I could feel my face swelling from the pressure . "Jessie—"

"His father is the one who killed your mother . " Virgo spat the words out before I could say anything, his smile huge and full of satisfaction as he watched the color drain from her face .

Releasing her head, Virgo took a step back, allowing himself to bask in her reaction .

"What?" she asked, her voice nothing but air as she took a big step backward . "He what?"

"That's right, Jessie, Bentley's father is the one who did it . Did he forget to mention that tiny detail as he fucked your brains out last night?"

That was it, I couldn't take that shit anymore . Slipping my fingers beneath the cord, I used my legs to bounce up, throwing the guy behind me off balance . With one fast twist, I had the cord around his neck, pulling it tight until his body went limp .

He wasn't dead, not yet . But it was enough to knock him out cold for a bit .

"Jessie," I said, taking a long stride forward .

"Stay back! Don't come near me!" Tears started to stream down her cheeks as she held her chest trying to catch her breath . "You're father took my mother from me?"
