Conrad (Savage Kings MC - South Carolina Book Series 4)
Page 17
It feels like I’m moving in slow motion when I kiss the top of Hannah’s golden head before letting her go. Turning around, I cross the porch to the front door and then lay into the man who destroyed his daughter for his own image, or whatever other fucking reasons he had for ending her pregnancy without her knowing.
My fists go numb from the number of times they land on the chief’s face and body. Even after he collapses to the floor I don’t stop, not even when I hear a woman screaming from inside the house. Only when the screech of sirens finally breaks through my rage do I finally stop.
“Come on,” Hannah says, now pulling on my arm. “We need to go, Conrad! Now!”
I let her pull me to the car, still in a daze. She urges me into the passenger seat, and then she’s sliding into the driver’s seat, slamming her door and driving us out of the neighborhood.
“You’re bleeding,” she tells me.
I flex my fists that are starting to burn from the torn skin.
“It was worth it,” I tell her. Then I add, “I’m sorry. I just…I lost control and didn’t want to stop.”
“It’s okay,” she thankfully says. “He deserved it.”
“Fuck yeah he did,” I agree. “I can’t believe he did that to you, sweetheart.”
“Me either,” she replies with a sigh. “I hate him and don’t think I can ever forgive him.”
“You don’t have to,” I assure her.
“He’s going to be pissed now that you’ve hurt and embarrassed him. There will probably be hell to pay.”
“Probably,” I agree. But at the moment, I don’t even care. He deserved every blow I gave him and more.
Chapter Thirty-Two

“Fuck!” Cannon says when he ends his phone call.
“How bad is it?” I ask as I sit with Conrad on their sofa, holding ice packs on his swollen knuckles. At least the bleeding finally stopped.
“Bad,” Cannon says. “The fucker sent in a SWAT team into our beach houses, running our tenants out. Then he had the fire department shut down the bar and club for too many ‘code’ violations.”
“Shit,” Conrad mutters, leaning his head back on the sofa cushion.
“I’m so, so sorry,” I whisper, because I knew this would happen.
“This is on your father. No one else.”
“He’s right,” Cannon says with a sigh. “But that’s not all…”
“Oh god. What else?” I ask.
“Someone apparently drove a large tank-sized truck through the Harley dealership. They destroyed all the inventory.”
“That son of a bitch!” Conrad yells when he jumps up to his feet. “He can’t do this!”
“Well, he did,” Cannon says.
“How can he wipe out every single one of the Kings’ businesses in less than an hour?” Conrad asks.
“He’s pissed, that’s how,” Cannon mutters.
“We need that money for Mom and Dad,” Conrad grits out.
“I know. The other Kings depend on it too. Winston’s got a baby coming any day,” Cannon says, making me feel guilty because this is all on me.
“I’m so sorry,” I tell the twins again. “I knew going over there was a bad idea. I should’ve talked you out of it,” I say to Conrad.
“This isn’t your fault!” both of them say at the same time.
“Yes, it is.”
“No, it’s your asshole father’s fault,” Cannon responds. “And we’re going to get him back. He’s going to pay for this bullshit!”
“How?” Conrad asks. “Has Roman got a plan together yet?”
“Not yet,” his brother replies. “But don’t worry. I’m going to handle this one for you, Con-man.”
“Cannon,” Conrad says with a shake of his head. “The entire MC’s future is on the line here…”
“I know that. Don’t even start that shit with me,” his brother tells him, holding up his palm. “You’ve always been the one to handle shit. It’s time for me to finally step up and help you out for once. You two have enough to worry about with the baby coming. I’ve got this, okay? I’m going to take that son of a bitch down.”
“All right,” Conrad reluctantly agrees. “If you’re sure.”
“I’m fucking sure.”
“You’re going to be a great uncle,” I tell Cannon.
He flashes us a cocky grin like the one from the first time I met him at the dealership. “Fuck yeah, I am.”
The end for now…
