30. Chapter Twenty-Four

Doxy

"Dede?" I turn away from the sight of William fucking Ron and face Kimber who scrunches her face in disgust. I get her and Anna not being able to stomach the sight of William, Brett, and Calvin raping Karl and the others that I brought here but I live for it. I relish watching the three guys taking turns on all of them. It brings me great joy to see them cry or scream out so I can punish them with my whip like they used to do to me.

"What is it?" Kimber nibbles on her bottom lip looking uneasy, which has me narrowing my eyes. In the past two weeks since we captured these fuckers and moved off the grid I have gotten to know Kimber and Anna a lot better and I would even go as far as to say we are… frenemies of sorts.

"Xander and Trey are trying to track us again." I growl out my annoyance as I brush past her and head out of the shack, leaving the three guys to have their fun while I deal with this shit. I cross the yard and enter the barn where we have set up our operation HQ. When we raided another club, we found a woman in the midst that is amazing with computers and is a dark web hacker.

"Josie, what have you got?" I ask as I come to a halt beside the woman as she types furiously.

"She's in the middle of sending a mass shutdown virus so she can block them from hacking into the CCTV through Ireland so we can move freely." My brows raise in surprise at Anna's response, it appears Josie is worth her weight in gold.

"Boo ya, bitches!" Josie shouts, shocking the fuck out of me and earning a glare from everyone in the barn. She looks around at all of us and ducks her head sheepishly. "My bad," she mutters.

"Where are they?" I clip out.

She flicks her gaze to me and beams, Anna says she has some type of hero complex about me and it grates on my fucking nerves. I am no one's hero.

"They thought they were slick and rerouted their IP addresses to show them being in Dublin but I hacked through their firewalls and rerouted the servers?—"

"English, Josie!" Kimber snaps, earning a scowl from the hacker before she answers.

"They tried to make it look like they were in Dublin but they aren't, they're in Canada."

"They are growing restless, Doxy," Nano states as he slinks out of the shadows across from us.

"I don't care what they are doing, they can fuck off if they think I am going back there."

Nano cuts me off earning a filthy look. "As the leader of the Da Luca family, you are bound to your word and gave the Re Della Strada your word you would meet them in two weeks. You can't go back on that."

"Says who? You?" I counter.

"Says everyone. Your word is your bond, and breaking it makes you untrustworthy. If you want to fight the RDS, then let's go to war because hiding out in the middle of the fucking sticks is not my idea of fun. The men are restless and want to return to their families, they can't do that when you have the whole camp on lockdown." I can hear the stress in his tone. I know the men are growing tired of being cooped up here, we are running out of space for everyone since we have taken down Karl's clubs. We have even taken in Reid's men but I refused to take the other Captains back, they were given a swift death for their betrayal. Nano proved his loyalty to me by taking them out. I needed to know he would kill his own friend if I ordered it, which is why I have named him as my second.

I mull over his words as I dart my gaze around the room and take in the many faces of the women and men who have joined my cause to fight for freedom. Anyone caught trafficking women or children will be taken out, I will not offer second chances to anyone who dares to deal in that fucking trade.

"Leaving your past behind was an option, not giving up on your future is your choice, Doxy." I crunch my face in confusion.

"What the hell does that mean, Anna?"

"It means that you need to get your ass on a plane and get the closure you need from your past so it can stop holding you back from your future." Anna and Kimber are the only ones who seem to get away with speaking to me like this, the other women treat me with respect but not these two. They have even given me the stupid fucking nickname Dede.

"Before you judge me, Anna, make sure you're perfect," I snarl as I turn and stalk toward the exit.

"So, I'll have the men ready to fly out in the morning?" Nano calls after me, earning a grunt. I grind my teeth when I hear him and the bitches laughing at my expense.

I can't run from my past any longer, it's time to go home…

I wake gasping for air, covered in a fine sheen of sweat. I look around the small tent and sigh. I'm not back there with them, they are my prisoners now. I am in control. I hate myself for even admitting it but since I haven't been the meat to the Xander and Trey sandwich my nightmares have returned. I may not have slept much before, but now I can't even manage to get an hour of sleep without being woken up by a memory covered in sweat or waking with tremors.

I get up, leave my tent and head for the shack, needing to see for my own eyes that they are still chained. Karl, Nolan, Fin, Ron, Len and Thomas are the only survivors from my list. Unlike their pals, they won't be as lucky to die quickly, they will be tortured and raped by anyone who wants a turn. I've even let some of the girls in here to have a turn at whipping them. My only rule is they are not allowed to shoot or stab them because I won't risk them getting an infection and dying.

I push the door open and smile at the sight of Calvin thrusting into Karl's ass. All of them are naked and chained to tables exactly like I was. Ron spots me first and begins to thrash and tries to speak but can't thanks to the gag in his mouth. He has no idea what I did with his family and I never plan to tell him. Turns out, his wife has been trying to leave him for years but he beat her into submission. She agreed to allow her daughter to record the clip I played over the phone to Ron, in return I would make sure Ron could never come after her or their daughters. It brings me great pleasure to know he is conjuring up all the worst possible scenarios of what could be happening to his family, it is going to break his mind.

"Doxy, did you want me to stop?" I shake my head and motion for Calvin to continue as I lean against the wall and smile at the sight. For years I wished, prayed and even offered my soul to the Devil if he would grant me this dream of seeing the men who broke me in the same position as I was and here they are, bloodied, bruised, used and slowly breaking. See, a woman can be raped and slowly heal over time because we are warriors, we will never forget or truly get over the trauma, but we will force ourselves to survive because we aren't weak. Men, they are different, especially ones like these bastards. They were so drunk on power and thought they were untouchable, above everyone around them so breaking their minds is easy, all you have to do is break their bodies and take away their free will and they will be nothing but a shell.

"No is a full sentence." I lull my head to the side to see Kimber standing there with a haunted look in her eyes.

"Another nightmare?" She nods, much like me she doesn't sleep much either.

"This one was the worst. I finally got my little girl back only for them to take her from me again," she whispers.

"I have Josie searching for her and combing through all Karl's correspondence." She turns to me with wide eyes. "I may not have a heart, Kimber, but that doesn't mean I can't relate to you. I'll deal with this shit in Canada and then you have my word that all my efforts will be put into finding all these girls and your daughter who were sold to homes as slaves. We will bring your little girl home." Tears fill her eyes.

"Why?" she rasps out.

"I may not be able to bring my little boy back but I can bring your daughter back to you and I will. You have my word." In a move that shocks the fucking hell out of me she… hugs me! I stand here, still and unsure what the hell to do until she steps back and sniffs a couple of times.

"I will always be loyal to you, Doxy. Whatever you need from me I will do it. I swear it on the life of my daughter."

"I know."

"How?"

"I saw it in your eyes that night by the creek. You let me in and you didn't even know it. You have my loyalty as well. Never break my trust, Kimber, because you will never earn it back again." She nods.

"Calvin?" He grunts out his release and turns to face me while his cock is still buried in Karl's ass.

"Yeah, Doxy?"

"We leave in the morning. Find ten guys to remain behind so our guests don't get lonely. I want them all worked every hour on the hour while we are gone." Karl's eyes widen, bringing a smile to my face. "Do you need a reminder about looking at me?" He quickly darts his gaze away earning a chuckle from me, how the mighty have fallen.

"I'll hand pick them myself, Doxy. Are they allowed to embrace their darker desires?"

"The darker the better, they have free reign so long as they don't kill them," I say firmly. I refuse to allow them to die after only two weeks, they will suffer for as long as I say.

"Yes, Doxy."
