“You fucking fat ass bitch,” Levi sneered coming quickly toward her.
Before she could move or even say anything, his fist connected with the side of her head, knocking her into the wall. Her hand came up, covering her throbbing face as she leaned against the wall, trying to catch her breath. When Levi’s fist went through the wall beside her head, she let out an ear piercing scream as pictures fell from the wall. Then he took hold of her face with his large hand.
“You are disgusting!” he whispered as tears streamed down her cheeks and over his hand.
She could hear her heart beat in her ears, and was afraid Levi would break her face, he was squeezing it so tightly. He slammed her head back into the wall. Her teeth cut into her cheeks and she tasted blood. When his other hand connected, she closed her eyes as she tried to push him away. But he held her tight, squeezing her jaw, and she cried out in pain.
How was this happening? Why had she let him in?
“I am going to teach you that my love is the only love that is right for you, you fucking bitch!” Audrey couldn’t tell if it was her tears that made her face so wet or spit from his mouth, or maybe it was even blood. Levi slammed her head against the wall again and she let out another scream.
“Please, stop!” she cried.
“No! I love you, and if you don’t want me then no one will have you!”
Again he slammed her head against the wall, and all she could do was pray that he didn’t kill her baby. She didn’t care about her face, her body, but her baby was another story. Levi was too big, and she knew she couldn’t fight back; all she could do was protect her child and hope that they made it through this. But when she slowly opened her eyes, which were swelling up, and looked into Levi’s eyes, she knew that he was going kill her.
She tried to cover her face, but his fist connected with her jaw again, knocking her to the floor. Her whole body shook with pain, and every time his fist met her body, white heat exploded as lights went off behind her eyes. When he started to kick her thighs while slamming his fist into the back of her head, all she could do was hope it would be over soon. She prayed for Tate to save her but knew he wouldn’t be home in time.
She wrapped her arms around her waist and couldn’t help but think, So much for her Happily Ever After, because she knew she was about to lose it all.
Even her life.
She was losing consciousness quickly, her body screaming in pain, but she swore she could hear Fallon.
Was her sister there?
“No, Fallon, run,” she whispered, but that only rewarded her with Levi’s foot colliding with her mouth, knocking what felt like teeth to the back of her throat.
“Audrey, why aren’t you answering your cell? You know it’s intense when I call your house phone! Oh my God, let me tell you what that fuck face asshole Levi did! He has been embezzling money from Lucas for years! Lucas is freaking out, oh my God, where the hell are you? Shit! Call me back!”
It was the last thing Audrey heard before everything went black.
Chapter 27
“I can’t fucking believe this shit!”
Tate nodded from the passenger side of Lucas’s Explorer. “It’s bullshit, I’m sorry, dude.”
“It fucking sucks, ’cause I’m all over the news as the idiot whose best friend was stealing his money right out from underneath him. I am so fucking mad. Fallon is flipping out and no one can find the fucker. Let me see him, I swear to God, Tate, I’ll kill him!”
