Chapter 22

Alec

The contents of that damned folder haunt me. All my life, I've wanted to find my father and corner him to find out why he never wanted me. Sergei is my half-brother. The same man that my Courtney was hiding from. Now we've got him tied up and at my mercy. If he thinks I'm going to let him live, he's got to be high.
I promised Courtney that I would make him pay for hurting her and that's exactly what I'm going to do. Just as soon as I talk to Lucien about all of this. I've talked to Gio and Luca about this, but not him.
I haven't told Courtney about Sergei being my family and I'm not sure if I want to do that. She gets scared and runs again.
"Alec?" Lucien snaps his fingers in front of my face. "I've been talking to you for the past twenty minutes and all I've heard is yeah from you." He's not wrong. I blame it on Sergei and that damned book of secrets.
"Sorry. I've just got a lot on my mind." I'm still trying to wrap my head around all of this. "Sergei is my half-brother."
He snapped his head up. "That's just part of it. He killed my real father and I have a sister." I paused not knowing what else to say. "Everything you need to know is in this," I revealed pushing the folder to him.
He opened the file and his face went from curious to furious in a matter of seconds. "Your sister's name is Nicole?" I nod as I take a breath. "Shit! I know where she is." Does he know her?
"What?" His fists clenched the folder. "At the club." He narrowed his eyes. "She dances."
Why haven't I ever noticed this?
"She privately dances." He clarified to me.
She dances privately?
Oh no!
Please tell me that she isn't a stripper.
My baby sister was taken from me at a young age and now when I do find her she's a stripper.
"No. Please tell me my sister isn't..."
He nods avoiding eye contact. I think my world just crashed down on me. I can handle knowing Sergei being my half-brother and that I was going to kill him, but I can't handle this.
Lucien looks like he's not telling me something. "What aren't you telling me?"
"I didn't know she was related to you, but now it makes sense now." Bringing the glass to his lips, he takes a drink. "Giovanni found her when he went to take down some Italian prick. He saved her from being traded to the Irish. I knew she resembled you, but I just thought it was coincident."
I was only keeping Sergei alive to get information on Nicole. Now that I know where she is, I can finish him off. I need to get my sister out of there first though.
I searched my entire life for her and the whole time she was right under my nose. The whole time!
I wonder how many more secrets Giovanni has been keeping from us?
"Where are you going?" He grabbed me by the shoulder. “To get some damn answers straight from the source."
I stood in front of Giovanni planting my hands in front of him. I stood on the opposite side of his desk. "You knew I was looking for her!"
I knew I was disrespecting him, but I didn't care anymore.
"Why didn't you ever tell me?"
"Because she asked me to not tell you." My heart ached to find out my own sister didn't want me to find her. I searched for her and when I find her, she never wanted to be found.
Why did you do that Nicole?
Why don't you want me to find you?
"Alec, I'm sorry. I found her about a couple of months ago by accident. I saved her."
That's why I haven't noticed her. I've been so busy with Courtney I haven't even been paying attention to any other woman.
I stood up and rushed upstairs to find her writing in a notebook. She closed it and shoved it under her pillow. "Baby. I need your help."
I rubbed the back of my neck nervously.
When had I become such a pussy?
"I've never told you this, but I have a sister. Her name is Nicole. She dances at the club."
Her eyes widened in shock. "I know her. She's a sweet girl."
"Can you give her a message?" She nods and presses her lips together. “Tell her I want her to meet with me." God how I want to feel those on me. She bit her lip making me go into overdrive.
"Get over here," I say in a husky voice, pulling her by the waist.
"I've missed you, baby." Kissing her pouty lips and she grabs me by the shirt and pulls it over my head.
"I've been thinking about you, Alec." I pulled her legs around my waist wrapping them around me.
"You feel what you do to me?" She grinds her hips on my cock and blood immediately rushes to it.
"Alec. We need you."
I let out a disheartened growl and peck her lips. "We'll finish this later baby."
She pouts and kisses my lips making me want to ignore the intruder that interrupted us.
I placed her on the bed and picked up my shirt storming out to Lucien. He was smirking and it made me even more frustrated at him.
"I hate you so much right now."
He chuckled in amusement at me as I slipped the shirt over my head and pulled it down.
"Sorry. It's just I've never seen you like this over a woman." He leaned on the wall. "We have to pay a visit to somebody that thought he could get away with not paying a debt. Let's go."
The man had sweat running down his face. "I-I don't have it. Please." Lucien raised his hand halting his begging. He was down on his knees on the dirty hardwood floor. "If I could just..."
I pressed the cold metal to his temple. He stilled and his body shook in fear. I stood behind him at glanced at Lucien waiting on his order.
He nodded and I pulled the trigger splattering his brains all over the wall and a little bit on me. "Leave his body. Nobody will look for him."
Lucien glanced at me while I drove back to the estate. "We still have something to take care of." I nod knowing he's talking about the piece of shit Sergei. I'm not going to kill him straight away. I'm going to watch him take every stab and punch begging me to kill him.
If I kill him fast, I'll just be giving him what he wants and in the end, he will have won.
Not this time.
I drug the knife in across his stomach painting his tattoos with blood. I smiled in satisfaction knowing he's feeling the same pain he caused her. You would think I would be doing killing him because he murdered my real father. No, that's not why I'm doing this. I'm torturing him for her.
My Courtney.
The woman I've fallen so deeply in love with.
He howls in pain as my fist connected with his jaw. "Please." I narrowed my eyes full of hatred directed right to him. "You can beg all you want, but I'm not going to stop until you're dead."
I pulled his hair to force him to look me straight in the face. "But I thought..."
"That I wouldn't kill you? I never said that. This is just day two of your punishment and you're already begging me." I love having him at my mercy. It feeds my need for his blood to be shed by my hands.
I won't lie. I'm enjoying his pleas and the sight of his blood dripping on the cold cement.
"You may be my half-brother, but that doesn't make you family. My family is here with Giovanni Lucchese." I take the butt of my gun and hit him in the back of the head knocking him out cold. "Same time tomorrow."
I stood in front of the mirror and my white shirt is stained with his blood and my face is dirty. My pants dropped to the floor and my shirt wasn't too far behind along with my boxers. The hot water rained down on me and I grabbed the body wash and squeezed a portion in my hands. Lathering it up, I wash down my arms and chest as the soap makes the blood disappear. Closing my eyes, I wash the dirt off my face and stand under the stream of water rinsing my body. I felt a hand enclose around my cock springing it to life. There's only one person that can do that to me.
Her.
I opened my eyes and looked down to see Courtney on her knees as she licked the tip and peered up through her lust-filled eyes. I pulled her up to her feet bringing my face level to hers.
"There's no time for that." She turned her back to me giving me a glimpse of her perfect ass. "Hands on the wall."
One of my hands found her nipple tweaking it between my thumb and index finger. "Alec, mmm."
I slid my dick between her folds running it up and down teasing her hungry pussy.
Without warning, I plunged deep inside her thrusting harder each time. I'm not going to be able to last long this time. I need her badly this time. My fingers dig in her hips forcing her to meet my thrust. "Courtney! Baby, god yes!"
She arches her back and I fist her hair and pull her head back sucking on her neck. If this is what heaven is like, I never want to leave it. The shower has steamed up the entire bathroom by the heat we've created.
I can feel her tighten up around me and that's all it takes for my pleasure to take over me. I can feel mine coming right behind her and start to twitch. Our breathing heightened and my balls constricted bringing me to my orgasm as jets of my hot seed shot deep inside her.
"Shit! Here it comes, baby!"
Our bodies shook in pleasure and I pulled out and twisted her body to face me. "I love you, Courtney."
I kissed her with every emotion pouring in her mouth claiming her as mine. It may have been a bad day, but at the end of the night everything worked out just fine. She makes all my problems go away with just one look at her. I lay in the bed and run my fingers through her hair. My eyes start to close and I find sleep sooner than I thought.
