Fearless

Chapter 44

Julia's POV

"Okay. Keep him in the cell. Reed and I want to be the ones to deal with him, and we'll be there as soon as we can. Just make sure he's guarded at all times." I ordered sternly into the phone.

Peter was going to die for what he did.

Reed and I were going to make sure of that.

My husband was currently pacing the hospital, furious at how we let this man pass us by and hurt our children so easily. I was equally as angry.

I felt as though we'd let Carter and Skylar down.

When our team got into Peter's building, they found a lot of things. The main thing being the full security detail on Sky, they'd been following her for her entire life.

How on earth did we not see it? It made me sick to my stomach.

All of this, all because of Evelyn fucking Campbell.

All because of that girl that we thought we'd finished with 20 years ago. She hadn't crossed my mind since the moment she was killed.

That clearly wasn't the case for her angry, vengeance-seeking father.

I completely understand his fury. He'd just put my husband and I through practically the same thing, only worse. I just wish we'd dealt with him at the time.

Reed is furious at himself for letting him slip by us. He thought he'd dealt with it at the time. Clearly not well enough.

All that mattered now was that our children were safe.

However, I knew that Reed and I wouldn't be resting until we'd gotten full closure on the situation.

Burned his files. Demolished his buildings. And utterly destroyed him and everything he ever touched.

Nobody was going to get away with stalking our daughter and shooting our son.

When I fell in love with Reed, I thought I was protective. However, the second I became a mother, my protective instinct became evident and it was another feeling entirely.

Being a mother has brought out a side of me which I never knew existed. If anyone thought I was brutal before, they'd clearly never seen me defending my children.

And now that Peter had completely infuriated Reed and I, he would now have to deal with our mafia backgrounds mixed with a hell of a lot of intense parental emotions.

"Is Cyrus holding him?" Reed asked me as he continued his pacing.

He'd already smashed his phone and punched a hole in the wall of the hospital, which we'd had to pay for, when he found out about all of the files Peter kept on Sky.

I trust my husband with my life. I've seen him at his absolute worst, when he's been so angry that steam has practically come out of his ears, but he's never scared me...and yet even I was beginning to get a little scared of what he was going to do to Peter.

I was also strangely looking forward to it.

I wanted to torture him for what he'd done. I'd never been so intensely furious in my entire life.

"Yeah." I replied. "We can head straight to the cells after we talk to the kids. Ivy and Blade said that they'd watch them for us while we sort things out."

"When I get my hands on him-" Reed began, his fists clenching as he spoke through gritted teeth.

"I know. I've never wanted to kill someone so much in my life." I said.
