Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 183

“He used to give me the creeps…always staring at me.”

I could see her face began to pale as the realization settled in. As tears started to stream down her face, she spoke just above a whisper.

“So…all this time…I had been meeting with the man that almost killed….

Gracie jumped up and ran to the bathroom, as the door slammed shut I could hear her heaving as

she threw up.

“Shit…I’m sorry man.”

Tyler said in a lowered voice. I could feel my heart aching in a million pieces. This was why I hadn’t wanted her to be involved. I didn’t want her to get hurt. Heartache slowly turned into rage as I

became furious at this Benard Thorton.

“Good work Tyler. Get everything set up…I want him in the warehouse tomorrow.”

“On it!”

After hanging up with Tyler, I immediately went to the bathroom. The door was still locked but I

could hear light sobbing. I knocked on the door.

“Gracie…baby, please let me in.”

Sobs.

“I know this is a lot. I’m so sorry. I’ve wanted to protect you from all of this…I’m so sorry…I’ve been failing you in so many way…I-”

Before I could finish, Gracie opened the door. Her face still had fresh tears as she gazed at me intensively. Without saying a word, she lunged into me hugging me tightly. I wrapped my arms around her, kissing her head lightly.

“I’m so sorry baby.”

“No…stop saying sorry.”

She looked up at me with those beautiful eyes. Tears slid down her cheek.

“Kai…don’t you ever say you failed me. You have no idea how much you’ve saved me. This isn’t your fault…it’s theirs. Let’s finish this…together…so we can move forward with our lives.”

I smiled warmly, my heart beamed brightly. She was so brave, so much resilience…Zelma was right… there was a fire in her eyes.

Now, me, Cameron, Tyler, Parys, and Gracie…all sat waiting for my head bodyguard to bring the man that could answer all the questions surrounding Gracie’s birth.

“I just received a message. Ramone and his team are heading into the warehouse now.”

After Tyler confirmed Ramone was on the way, we all immediately stood up. I could see Gracie’s face

twitch; she was clearly nervous. A few moments later, the warehouse gate opened as three cars

pulled in. After his team stepped out of their vehicles, Ramone stepped out of the SUV with a man

gripped in his hand. The man had a sack on his face causing his words to sound muffled, but I could

clearly make out what he saying.

“Hey!!! Let me out of here!!!! Do you know who I am!!! If you know what’s good for you-”

Snatch!

Ramone snatched the sack off of his face causing the man’s eyes to widen as he looked around the

warehouse.

Thorton.

Gracie squeezed my hand; I could feel her slightly tremble as she looked at the person that almost took her life. I gently kissed her hand; I needed her to know everything would be alright. I would let no harm come to her ever again.

Thorton was still rambling when we made our way to the front, as we grew closer, his began to widen.

“Gra….Graceland??? What is….what the hell is this!!! What’s goin-”

Punch!

Ramone punched Thorton directly in the jaw causing him to fall over in his chair. Immediately, his henchmen stood the chair back up.

Fear was now in his eyes as he breathed frantically; blood dripping down his mouth. I spoke in a

“Mr. Thorton…I’m going to ask that you not address my fiancé any further. From this point on…all of your commentary will be directed at me.”

Thorton spit out blood and scoffed.

“Oh yeah…and who the hell are you.

A dark grin spread across my face.

“I’m Kai Christiansen.”

Thorton’s eyes widen in fear…you’re scared…very good.
