Page 68 of His Daggered Heart
“No. The last place you will be going is to look for my man. Stay,” I say.
“Like the little bitch you are.” She sips more of her wine, peering at me over the glass, a smirk on her ugly red lips.
I walk through the restaurant, not even really knowing where to look. I see a balcony and notice them out there but it seems they are still in the thick of whatever argument they are having, so I decide to go to the restroom first. I stare back at the table and see Levi whispering in Cora’s ear as she giggles, but it’s Erica who has my attention. She is pouring something into Kohen’s drink.That bitch.I rethink my plan because right now the most important thing is getting rid of that drink. I’d text Cora or Levi but I left my phone on the table.
I take a step forward and a strong arm stops me, coiling around my waist, and then another around my mouth.
“Shhh, little devil, don’t make a scene,” a deep voice whispers. The voice sounds familiar but I can’t quite pin it. Then I see Kohen sit back down at the table. He looks around and then at Cora while she tells him that I went to look for him probably. He stands to look for me but Erica distracts him, handing him his drink.
“No! I say, mumbling into the hand of my attacker, who could only be Kohen’s dad.
I peer up and sure enough, it is him,. My feet dangle, not even grazing the floor. He is at least 6‘6“ and built like a Mack truck. There is no way I can fight him off. He pulls me deeper into the hallway that leads to the restroom and fear floods through me. The raw reminder of what I just went through with Walker.
“I’m going to let you speak, little devil, but you better not unleash your forked tongue. I want you to whisper. Understood?”
I nod in agreement. I will do whatever it takes to be able to get back to Kohen as quickly as I can. I send a prayer up to whoever is listening. If there was one time that Kohen and Levi would be impatient and overprotective, this is it.Come save me.
He releases my mouth. “Look at that sinful little mouth,” he says, running his thumb down my lip. “This is how you possessed him, isn’t it? What I wouldn’t give for a taste of this tempting little cunt.” He hikes my dress up to feel my heat.
“No,” I cry. His hand grips my throat so fast that I don’t even have a chance to take another breath.
“These curves, this mouth, that tight little pussy…” He pauses, gripping a handful of my ass. “Do you want me inside you, you little demon? Do you want me to take you like my son does?”
I shake my head no, tears streaming down my face, eyes pleading with him to let me go.
Like an answered prayer, I hear the voice of my best friend.“Hey!”she screams, rushing over. She pulls at his arms and scratches his face, trying to get him off me. He throws his huge arm back, causing her to fly into the wall.
“Cora!” I scream. “She’s pregnant!”
He doesn’t release me. Instead, I feel his fingers spread my lips and I screw my eyes shut. Then I’m dropped to the floor and I open my eyes to see Kohen and Levi tackling Raymond to the floor. My eyes fly to Cora and I crawl to her. She’s knocked out cold. She must have hit her head. Tears well in my eyes, sadness and anger at war inside me.
“Levi!” I shout. “Help me.”
He rushes over. “What happened?”
“He pushed her and she’s knocked out. I think she hit her head.”
He lifts her up, rushing her into the dining area.
“Someone call 911, she’s pregnant. Now!” I know she is in good hands so I rush to the dinner table so I can collect our things for us to meet them at the hospital.
I must look like a mess but I don’t care. I see Erica sitting there, beautiful yet insidious. “You poisonous bitch. I saw you put something in his drink.” I grab it and the waitress approaches. “You better pull whatever video you have of this place and get the clip where this woman put something in his drink. The cops have been called. This is the drink, give it to them and have them arrest her.” I point at Erica. “You stay the fuck away from me and Kohen.”
The waitress voices for security through her headset.
Right on time, Kohen runs over. “Kohen, she put something in this. She was trying to roofie you.”
Before he can respond, his dad tackles him into the table. “You are choosing this slut over me, your father, your only family?” he yells, punching Kohen in the stomach. Erica rushes up and security grabs her. The rest rush to grab Raymond off of Kohen. He is resisting and it takes five men to hold him back.
“You are cut off!” he yells, his voice roaring through the dining room. I turn to see everyone watching. “You get nothing, no money, you inherit nothing.”
“He has me,“ I say. “I have money.”
“You’re just a pathetic little whore, he will never marry you,” he spits at me.
“I already did marry her, Father. Wearemarried. We did yesterday downtown,“ Kohen says. His father pulls back in shock. “So the money is already mine, and I get to share it with my wife.”
“And our child,” I add. Kohen looks at me in surprise.
