Speak To Me

(Jamie)

"Fuck, what's taking her so long? She should be here by now." Grant grumbled as his knee bounced up and down anxiously.

Grant was more on edge than I had ever seen him, and I knew he had been waiting for this moment since the first time he laid eyes on Sammy. It was long over due..that's for sure.

"Should only be a few more minutes. They said she was coming up around the corner." My dad informed him, and sure enough..here she come stumbling from around the building.

Eva had on a tight red dress that barely covered her ass and was carrying a wine bottle in one hand and her purse in the other. She was clearly drunk..which might help our situation in the long run. "Okay, let's go." Grant rushed out, ready to spring forward.

I stuck my hand out, placing it on his chest as I held him back slightly.

"Remember the plan..your men will detain her first. They are already waiting upstairs."

I needed this to go flawlessly..the fact that I have so much to live for now, I knew I couldn't take stupid risks.

"What if she doesn't agree? You know that greedy bitch is going to make us work for that shit." Grant hissed.

He was prepared to go all the way..and when I say all the way..I'm talking about taking Eva out into the woods and making sure she never comes back.

When you get your hands dirty like that..you put yourself and the people you love at risk..even if we have money and power..I just can't justify having that hanging over our heads. Especially with the babies and Gabriella in the picture now.

"Well, if she doesn't agree..then we will make her. There are other ways to get her to talk. No matter what, we are going to walk out with what we want. I can promise you that." I stated, watching as both my dad and Grant nodded in agreement.

I was surprised my dad offered to come honestly. He usually doesn't like to get his hands dirty..but with Eva trying to mess with Gabriella and being a threat to our family, he was more than willing to join in. Even Rylan wanted to come but he is so preoccupied with the Tilly stuff, I thought it would be best he stayed there with her.

Suddenly there was a ping from my father's phone, causing him to look down as he quickly read it.

"Okay, it's time. Mr. X has hacked the security cameras and we are ready to walk."

I felt my heartbeat start to slow..that calm, cool, and collected persona coming out of me as I looked at this as more of a buisness deal than anything. Eva was going to give us what we wanted..or she will be ruined forever.

My father's driver quickly hopped out of the car before opening the door for us. I decided to have Ray stay with Gabriella, my mom, and Sammy while we did this to give me peace of mind. He is the only one I can truly trust to watch over them.

I stepped outside, feeling the cool air rush past me as I straightened my back and glanced towards Grant. I can imagine his expression must mirror my own..only his was a little more..murderous I might say. But I could see he wasn't going to take any bullshit..and that's exactly what Eva gives.

We quickly made our way inside. One of Grant's men opened the door for us and led us up the stairs. We opted to skip the elevator to avoid being seen as much as possible.

With every step I took, I felt this anger I held for Eva rising more and more. This woman has gone too far..and now she was going to find out exactly what happens when you mess with a Sinclair.

Grant led us towards her apartment, and the moment he stepped towards it, the door slowly opened.

Inside was dark, and what appeared to be muffled screams could be heard from somewhere in the house.

"She's in the back, we will notify you if someone approaches." A man with black hair said, prompting Grant to nod once before he fully entered the apartment.

"This will be the end of it son." My dad whispered beside me, squeezing my shoulder softly as I nodded and followed after Grant.

We were led through a small kitchen and taken to the back room which appeared to be her bedroom.

I kid you not..the moment I spotted Eva tied up to a chair with a rag stuffed in her mouth, joy flooded through me. Okay, maybe I might enjoy this more than I thought.

Eva's bloodshot eyes darted around the room erratically, the muffled screams growing louder as she suddenly stopped..looking straight at me.

"Jaaamie." She mumbled loudly, her body rocking back and forth as she tried to free herself from the restraints.

I reached down, unbuttoning the sleeves of my shirt before slowly rolling them up.

"I told you not to fuck with me or my family again Eva..you just couldn't listen could you?" Eva shook her head no, tears filling her eyes as I stepped closer.

"Where's Sammy? You have been awfully quiet lately..I thought you wanted me to meet my son..didn't you?" I asked, wanting to see fear fill those crazy eyes.

Obviously we knew where he was..we just didn't want her to know that yet. Truthfully, I wanted to hear the lie she would tell.

"Mmm..Mmm.." She shouted, making me nod towards one of Grant's guys.

He swiftly walked up to Eva and ripped the cloth from her mouth, making her gasp for air.

"You assholes! You are going to pay for this!" She shouted to the men from behind her.

"Jamie..I swear, I didn't do anything wrong. Sammy..he..he was taken from me! Kidnapped! Someone came and took him at gunpoint. I didn't know how to tell you..I have been devastated..our son..someone took our son." She cried out, obviously lying through her teeth as I watched Grant start to step forward, clearly ready to snap..it didn't take much..

"Eva..please..I'm giving you once chance to tell me the truth..and all of this will go away." I said, motioning to her and the men behind her.

"That..that is the truth..they came and held a gun to my head..they knew he was your son somehow!"

How the hell can she be so fucking stupid? I did warn her though..so what is about to happen..she could've prevented it.

"Grant." I said his name once, turning away from Eva and going to step beside my dad.

"She's all yours."

Grant stalked forward, his hands gripping either side of Eva's chair as he peered down at her. The intensity of his gaze dark and full of rage as he leaned close and whispered four words. "This is for Sammy."

Without a single hesitation Grant pulled his arm back before slamming it forward.

The moment his fist landed in Eva's face, I swear I never saw Grant smile so widely. And once the blood began to trickle down Eva's face, the realization of how serious this was began to set in. "I was raised not to hit a woman...but you..you are no woman..Now you better start talking, or I have plenty more where that came from."
