Chapter 78

I ignored the shooting pain in my knuckles as I landed another punch on Emily's attacker's face. I couldn't ignore the bruise I saw on Emily's face last night. When I looked at her face before leaving this morning, it was already getting darker. That was enough to make me f "Julian, we kind of need him alive since we want him to talk." Tanner cautiously pulled me away as the pathetic creature before me wiped the blood dripping from his nose with the back of his hand.

I knew I needed to calm down, but it wasn't easy. Not when I saw the love of my life tied up and screaming for help. Not when she looked vulnerable and scared in my arms as she slept last night.

"I told you. Somebody paid me to do it. A woman with red hair. She even had sunglasses on and she had this scarf wrapped around her hair. It was like she didn't want anybody to know who she was," the culprit filled us in.

"Did she seem old or young?" I questioned.

"I couldn't have a clear view of her full face, but... I think she was either in her late twenties or early thirties," he replied, trying to sit up.

"Do you have anybody in mind?" Tanner asked me in a quiet voice as the two of us moved away from the scumbag on the floor.

"I do have somebody in mind, but her hair isn't red," I replied, rubbing my hands over my face. I just wanted to live with Emily and Rosie in peace. I wasn't asking for much. Why was there always somebody who wanted to hurt any of us? "Who do you have in mind?" he wondered.

"Nobody hates Emily as much as Fiona and Maggie," I sighed.

"But neither of them is a redhead," he reminded me.

"I know, but it could be a wig. You never know," I replied. I wouldn't put anything past them. They held Emily accountable ever since they lost the lavish lifestyle. They didn't take into account what they had done to her. They thought that all that they had put her through could be forgotten, but how could she forget what they had done to her? I couldn't forget it!

"I know that you don't want him to get out of here alive, but we need him alive," Tanner said.
