I held the blade against his cheek as he whimpered. “Unless I ask you a fucking question, don’t talk.”
“Okay,” he whispered, holding still, afraid he’d get cut if he moved.
I wanted to laugh. The bastard was worried about me slicing his cheek. He had no idea. But first, I was getting answers. I ran the knife down to his chin, leaving a bloody trail as I went. He let out a long wail. Jesus, he was a pussy. The men we normally had down here wouldn’t make a fucking sound until we removed a finger or an ear. The tongue also got a reaction.
“How do you know Trinity?” I asked him.
“That’s what this is about? Trinity? What did that bitch tell you?”
Typically, I had control. I could pace myself. I let them beg and plead. That wasn’t the case when someone called my woman a bitch. I was in his face, seething, as I buried the knife in his limp dick. He screamed as I twisted it. The screams continued while I pulled the knife out and wiped the blood on his pants leg.
“Let’s try this again. How do you know Trinity?”
His eyes were wide, and the understanding that he wasn’t going to walk out of here alive was starting to sink in. “She’s … she’s … my step … step … sister,” he panted through his pain.
“The Tabitha bitch is your mother then,” I said.
“My mom raised her. Whatever she told you is a lie,” he started.
Gage let out a laugh as I took my knife and buried it in his thigh. Another agonized scream tore from his chest as he began to tremble.
I turned and looked at Levi and Gage. Levi was sitting on a chair with his ankle propped on his knee and his arms crossed over his chest. Gage was grinning like the crazed psychopath he was while watching.
“He’s not very bright,” I said to them.
“Nope,” Levi replied.
“Those are the best ones,” Gage said.
I turned back to Roy. “You get one warning because it is fucking clear you need it. I’m going to ask you some more questions, and at any time you lie or you degrade or say anything negative about Trinity, I’ll take one of your fingers. Do you understand me?”
He nodded. Blood and tears streaked his face.
“When he says take one of your fingers, he means he will cut it off. Just clarifying because you appear to be a dumbass,” Gage called out.
I smirked. “Now, what did you do to Trinity in the past that would cause her to get so upset at your mere appearance that she’d run away from you?”
He blinked, and snot bubbles came out of his nose. He started to shake his head, and I moved to go to him. Finger number one was going. He seemed to understand that.
“No, wait. I-I was her older brother. We didn’t get along,” he stammered out.
I reached up and held his right hand while he begged and cried. I took his pinkie. The man could wail like a damn baby. He was loud. Holding his pinkie, I showed it to him. Then, he threw up. I tossed the finger down to lie on top of his vomit. When he was finished puking and muttering, I slapped his face.
“SHUT UP!”
He quieted down.
“Now, let’s try this again. What did you do to Trinity?”
He gasped and choked as the blood from where I’d taken his finger poured down his arm. “You’re gonna kill me anyway,” he sobbed.
“Think of it as a cleansing of the soul,” Gage suggested.
I could hear Levi’s chuckle.
“Who are you? Why are you doing this?”
I could ignore him. I could take another finger. Cause more pain, but I wanted him to die knowing why he was dying. Who I was. I walked up and pressed the knife under his chin.
“I’m the lucky son of a bitch who has her in my bed. I fucked her sweet pussy and tucked her in before I came to deal with your worthless ass. That’s who the fuck I am.”
He gasped, and more fucking snot bubbles came out. “So, she got herself hooked up with psychos. She was just engaged to a minister. He died.”
I pushed the knife harder until it broke the skin under his chin. “The minister was my brother. And we’re the fucking Mafia.”
His eyes rounded, and he choked. I moved back from him.
“I’m getting bored with this bullshit. Tell me what the fuck you did to my woman when she was growing up.” I’d just called her my woman. It wasn’t lost on me, and I knew it wasn’t lost on Gage and Levi. I heard Gage clear his throat, but I ignored it. Yeah, I’d fucking said it.
“Mom didn’t let her eat,” he said in between gasps. “She called her fat and wrapped up her boobs because she said they were fat. She went without meals a lot, and if she got caught eating anything without permission, she was punished.”
