“You and your inbred family are going to get the fuck away from this town. If I see you around here again after today, then you won’t have to worry about picking baby names.”

I brace myself for him to hurt me again, but he steps away. My legs give out, and I slide down the wall.

He spits at my feet and says, “Do I need to make myself any clearer?”

“No. I understand.” My voice comes out numb.

Everything becomes crystal clear in my head as I come to the realization that this is only going to end in pain.

CHAPTER 23

MADDOX

After getting what I needed from Sarah, I cut across the quad to where I left Violet. I’ll tell Max everything once we’re alone later. Vi doesn’t need any more stress today.

Reaching the hall, I find it empty. I took a little longer than I’d hoped, but I expected her to be here. Did Max take her back to the car already? He didn’t text to let me know.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see someone coming around the corner. They stop when they see me.

Aaron.

The surprise on his face turns to smugness, and he saunters closer.

“You’re going to regret opening your fat mouth you fucking bastard!” I snarl at him as I rush forward, ready to punch him.

He holds his hands up. “I wouldn’t if I were you. After all, I don’t need to fight you back. Not when there’s a much easier and bigger target for me to go after.”

I stop myself before I hit him. “If you ever fucking touch her I’ll?—”

“What?” He gets close enough that I can tell he’s started drinking early. “Get me locked up like James?”

“You’ll wish you were behind bars so you wouldn’t have to live with the fear of what I’ll do to you.”

He barks out a laugh that echoes off the stone walls around us.

“Nah. You’re not going to do shit. I’ll get to your girl before you have chance to get to me. All it would take is one little fall for you to lose everything.”

Is this guy an actual psychopath? There’s no fear or remorse on his face, only smug satisfaction that he thinks he’s got to me. Unfortunately, he has. For now. As soon as Violet is safe at home, things will be very different.

“I will fucking kill you.”

“Sure you will, big man.” He starts to walk past me, but stops and adds, “I always wondered what a pregnant belly felt like. I don’t have to guess anymore. Still, I can’t help but wonder what pregnant pussy feels like. Care to share?”

Grabbing his shirt, I ram him into the wall. He’s bigger than me, but I’ve fought worse before. I can take him.

“What the fuck does that mean?”

“You might want to make sure your slut’s okay before you do anything else. Pretty sure I saw her crying back there.”

“You’re seriously fucked in the head to be threatening a pregnant woman. I know it’s all empty threats, though. There’s no way you’ve touched her when you can’t even say the shit you want to her face.”

“Wanna bet?” he laughs, but he’s not joking.

My grip on him loosens, and he pushes off the wall, shoving me away from him. I take a staggered step back.

He wouldn’t fucking dare…would he? I glance in the direction he came from. Vi has to be with Max. He’d know if she ran into trouble.

Putting Vi’s safety first, I run down the hall. “You better watch your fucking back!” I snarl at Aaron before rounding the corner.
