Page 70 of The Devil's Heir

Jarek

It's been a long recovery. A month of lounging around the house, only able to conduct business through video calls, is not something I will ever get used to, nor do I want to. The only positive is spending quality time with Liliana and Keirnan.

I've never considered myself a family man, just a man who needed to produce an heir or two to pass on the family name. However, looking at my son, I want to be a part of his life. I want to see all his firsts and be there to help him through life.

I can't help that he's been born into the Mafia family, but I can try and show him the right way to do things. That's where Liliana comes in. She makes everything better, and although I can't be entirely good, she helps me see things from a different perspective.

I'm the head of the Falcon crime family, and she's now a part of it. As soon as I make Liliana my wife, she will stand as my equal. After spending this past month with her, I have no doubt that she'll turn down my proposal when the time comes.

Today was my first day back in the office, and although it was boring, it was good to get back into the swing of things.

What feels even better is that I'm headed to The Reformatory to finally take care of Dog, Carmen's favorite guard.

He and the other goon have been hanging out and taking up space in my cells, and it's time to evict the bastards.

This shouldn't take long. Go in, put a bullet in them, and then head home where I can sink into the best pussy in the world. My smile can't be helped; it happens whenever I think of my pauper.

We're just pulling up to the club when my phone buzzes. Jackson's name pops up, and when I open the text, I sigh.

JACKSON: Sorry, Sir.

It's all he says with the picture of Lily walking into The Reformatory.

I knew I couldn't keep her away much longer.

She's wanted to finish Carmen off for weeks, but I've kept her at bay.

It's not that I don't want Carmen to pay because I need that bitch to die, but I'm struggling with allowing my pauper to dirty her hands in that woman's blood.

Liliana is so innocent, and I don't want her to think she needs to prove anything to me. I love her as she is, but at the same time, I know it's her decision, and I don't want her to think I'm trying to control her. However, Lily going behind my back like this will earn her a punishment.

I've been holding off, but I think it's time that she remembers who the real Master is. She may have my heart, but I have her submission in the areas that count. She needs to be reminded of that fact.

"Ah, it's good to see you up and moving around, Jarek," Joey says as I walk past the bar area.

He's sitting in one of the armchairs with Zita on his lap. I lift my brow at the two of them, but then focus on the woman.

"Still holding off on telling me where all your father's hideouts are?" I ask.

Zita's expression changes from pleasant to devoid of anything as she replies, "You know I can't give those up, Sir. I may disagree with his actions, but he's still my father…"

As much as I hate that she's keeping the locations from me, I respect it because Joey's my best friend. She also understands that when I do find Rossi, and I will, he will die by my hand. I was pissed at first, but I guess I would probably do the same thing if I were in her shoes.

It's easy to see whose side she's on, so I don't press the issue. Aside from Fran and Heidi, Zita is Lily's only other female friend, and it took a while for that bond to form as is. I don't want to be the person to take that from her.

Letting the topic drop, my attention returns to my friend. "Did you see my girl come through?"

Joey's grin grows, and he nods knowingly. "Oh, yeah. Have fun with that."

I smile in return. "I plan to."

Turning, I head for the back of the club and then head downstairs. I hear Liliana's voice immediately. She's already laying in on Carmen. My smile grows even more when I hear the words spewing from her mouth.

"What made you think I would allow you to take what is mine, Carmen? Was I so innocent that you thought I wouldn't retaliate?"

"You were supposed to be dead." It's all that comes out of Carmen's mouth.

I stop just outside Carmen's cell and out of their sight, but Jackson notices me as he stands just inside. We nod at each other.

I won't lie. I want to see how Lily handles this, so I remain hidden for the time being. A smirk plays on my lips as I continue to listen to the conversation.

"You know, Jarek told me what you used to make him do when he was younger, and I have to say, you're a sick fucking woman.

If it weren't for everything you did to him, Jarek could have had a good life.

He would have known how to treat women, and maybe, just maybe, I would have fallen in love with him all those years ago… "

"Oh, please. Jarek loved the attention he was getting—"

"You were having your friends rape him!" Lily rages, and I know I should show myself, but I remain where I am.

"So, what are you going to do about it? You're nothing but a whore who spreads your legs to get paid," Carmen sneers.

I hear a loud slap.

"You're such a fucking bitch!" Lily chuckles cynically. "Jarek doesn't pay me to fuck him. I fuck him because I love him." There's a slight pause before my pauper adds, "And he's a really good fuck. Something you will never know."

Carmen scoffs. "How do you know I've never fucked Jarek? Do you honestly think he would tell you the truth about that? "

After hearing the lie, I can't stand here anymore, so I step into the room. Lily swings around as Carmen's gaze lands on me. There's a smear of blood by her lip as she sits, restrained to the chair.

"I would never touch you, even if we were the last two people on earth, Carmen." I walk up to Lily and press my lips to her forehead. When I see the apprehension in her eyes from being caught, I shake my head subtly. "We'll talk about it later," I tell her before looking at Carmen.

"I don't see what's so special about her!" Carmen's sour tone amuses me.

"Lily has class, and she's kind. Those are attributes you will never have, and the way I see it, you no longer have a chance to try and change your ways."

I glance back down at my pauper to see her shaking her head.

"No, she doesn't," Lily states. "Carmen has caused enough heartache; I won't allow her to hurt anybody else. Jackson, go have the other two prisoners brought in here, please."

Jackson does as Lily asks. I should ask what she plans to do, but I will trust her. After all, I trust her with everything else.

When Jackson, with the help of Frankie, comes back with Dog and the other guy who worked for Carmen, I lift my brow at Lily as if to ask, "What's next?"

"Pull out your guns," Lily grins as she looks between me and Jackson.

We follow her instructions and pull them out.

"Keep them on the men," she orders, then turns to me. "Which one is Dog?"

Lily knows about Dog because I told her about my time spent there and how much I hated this fuck face. When I nod at the bastard, Lily beckons him forward.

"Do you see that knife on the table?" she points to the small table with a tray on top of it. A bunch of implements, including a sharp hunting knife, are sitting on top of the tray.

Dog nods.

"Good. Jarek and Jackson will keep their guns on you, so don't try anything funny. I want you to go to the table, pick up the knife, and stand behind your boss." Lily crosses her arms as she waits for the guy to move.

He hesitates.

"What's the matter? Do you have feelings for her?" my pauper asks, screwing up her face in disgust.

"You have no idea what kind of woman Carmen is…"

"I no longer care either," Lily states with no emotion. "Now, go."

Dog finally moves and picks up the knife before standing behind Carmen. I can see the fear starting to take shape on the bitch's face, and it makes me happy to know that my girl is putting that fear inside her.

"Use the knife and cut off all her hair," Lily orders.

I glance at my girl, wondering what the hell she's up to. This isn't middle school. We gut people with knives, not cut off their hair, but I remain silent and wait to see where she's going with this.

Lily has Dog scrape Carmen's head until she's completely bald, not caring that the knife keeps nicking Carmen's scalp. When Dog is finished, Lily snaps a picture.

"This will be the one we use for your obituary. This is the Carmen everyone is going to see for the very last time," pauper states and shows Carmen the picture.

"Why, you little bitch!" Carmen struggles with her restraints, but it's no use.

"Dog, carve up Carmen's face. Make the cuts really deep," Lily commands next.

The fucker hesitates again, and I cock my gun as I point it toward the center of his head. "Fucking do as you're told," I snarl.

As Dog fixes his angry stare on me, he brings the knife up to Carmen's face and starts slicing through her cheeks, forehead, chin, and lips. Carmen's screams echo through the basement as blood begins pouring out of her wounds.

"Enough!" Lily calls out, and Dog stops carving, never taking his eyes off me. "Drop the knife and come over here."

Dog does as he's told and comes back to stand where he was when he was brought in. When he turns to face Carmen again, he begins to gag. He did a pretty good job of carving her up. He somehow popped her eyeball out, and it now dangles by the ligaments and tendons.

"What's the matter, Dog? Do you still want to fuck her? Should we give the two of you time for one last romp?" Lily asks, smirking.

Dog shakes his head vigorously .

"Please, just kill me already!" Carmen begs.

"Oh, silly woman. Why would I make it that easy? I think an eye for an eye is in order. Oh, oops, maybe that's not the right thing to say at the moment." Lily covers the smile dancing on her lips with her hand.

I tilt my head back, grinning at the ceiling momentarily.

"Dog, go get that cup over there and pour it all into Carmen's mouth. Don't let her spit too much of it out, or else we'll have to make up another one," my pauper instructs.

Dog stomps over to the table and picks up the large cup. His hands are still cuffed, so it's a bit challenging, but he's able to get the majority of it down Carmen's throat.

"There, let's see how long it takes for that to work on you, Carmen." Lily grins.

Carmen sputters and gags.

"What would you like to do with these two?" I ask Liliana as I motion toward Dog and the other fucker.

Lily shrugs with a playful glint in her eyes. "Do whatever you want. My job is done," she murmurs sweetly, rising onto her toes to press a gentle kiss to my cheek.

"Fuck this," I say as my cock begins to stir.

Raising my arm, I let two pops ring out, and the two motherfuckers drop like flies. I don't have time to torture them. I need to take my woman home and fuck her into submission as soon as fucking possible.

Grabbing Lily around the waist, I lift her and throw her over my shoulder before exiting the room.

"Wait! I want to make sure she dies!" Lily laughs as she struggles to free herself.

I slap her ass.

"There are cameras. I'll rewind them later. I assume there was arsenic in that cup?" I ask.

"Yep, enough to kill an elephant," she states proudly.

"Good girl."

"So, does that mean I won't be getting punished for coming here?" she asks hopefully.

"Oh no. You have a big punishment coming your way. I think a little humiliation and degradation are in order this time, too," I tell her.

Lily gasps, "You wouldn't!"

"I will, and I am—and then, I'm going to fuck you into oblivion."
