Chapter 75 Stand By Your Side

How far are you willing to go to protect your fiancé?
Now, let us go back a few minutes before that loud bang…
Well, what has happened? At the very moment, I have a very determined Trinity standing firm with a rather intimidating gun in her hand. Now that is not my problem.
She has the gun pointed at this man s very head.
How the fuck did I not notice her taking that gun from the floor?
Then without me even having an inch of a second to move, she is now standing at the very door where the Hitman is trying to make his exit from.
Now the chance that this fucking asshole has another gun, I highly possible. I do not want Trinity to get hurt, but my attempt to try her to drop the gun is completely being ignored.
"Princess, please put the gun down."
"No, Colton. Do not dare come fucking near me."
Now one thing that I have learned is do not to piss a woman off that is scorned. My princess is pissed, and she is going to pull that trigger. The question is, am I going to allow her to. It is one thing having a gun in your hand, but another if you actually pull that trigger. I know that she will be a lethal shot; I am just worried about what happens to her afterward.
So, I need her to put that gun down, but I don't think she is going to.
"Princess, please put the gun down. He is not worth it."
"Colton, he will only come back."
"This is not the way to deal with it."
"He deserves to be dealt with."
"Princess, please."
But yes, she is not listening. And fuck, she is not going to listen at all.?
And, now Trinity is stepping even closer. I can hear her talking to the man, but I do not hear what she is saying. By the look on his face, it is nothing good. But wait, the man goes and mocks her.?
Then I can hear the click of the gun, and god, I nearly die.
"Princess, please. Don't do this."
"Then are you going to do it?"
"He is not worth it. He will crawl into that hole he came from."
Then I start stepping closer, but Trinity immediately sees my intention, "Back off, Colton."
"Princess, please."
Anything can go wrong here. I am not prepared. I will absolutely die if anything has to happen to Trinity. He can wrestle that gun off her and turn the stakes around. Fuck! This is a mess.
If she will only fucking listen, but the woman is so goddamn stubborn
I watch the man as his focus is mainly on Trinity, so I grip my gun firmer in my hands. I feel as the coldness of the barrel sends a shiver up my spine, or is it from what I know is going to happen. I love the feeling as I hold it in my hand. The feeling of power that runs through our veins as you wrap your hand around the grip and place your finger on that trigger. For that one single second, you are in control.
In control is my princess, fuck; if this were not so scary, I would have thought it is damn hot.
But, as I stand here, I know that man is part of Vic s crew. Though, is he a good start to make an example? I only but shake that thought from my head in an instant. I have never shot a man for no real reason before. And I don't think I really want to start today.
Then again, you need to set the fear into these fuckers; this is a war. I need to get that respect that I want, and the only way is to put the fear of hell into them. So, I must choose my next move very carefully.
"Princess, please."?
This is about to go south.
I take a deep breath and ask for the one last time.
"Princess, please."
"Leave me alone, Colton."
Now, with every choice you make in life, there comes that moment where you have the time to stop and think if this is really what you want to do. That split second that will determine between what is right or wrong. That moment that will define who you are and the path your life is going to take.
My princess is about to make that decision.
I need to decide if I am going to leave my princess alone and let her take that step to what will define her.
And it happens in absolute slow motion.?
I raise my gun and aim it firmly at the Hitman, who, to my fucking surprise, has taken that very gun that I know he would be hiding. He has now caught Trinity off her guard, but she recovers quickly.
Now, we have a good old stand-off, and fuck, everything is going to go wrong.
If we thought that this man will back down now that he is outnumbered, well, we were wrong; he is staring the barrel of two guns in the face, and yet he is still standing his ground.
Then I see as my princess gently squeezes the trigger, and there is a slight jolt from the force of the power of the bullet that escapes the barrel of the gun.
The Hitman clasps his hands into a fist as he drops his gun.
The bullet travels through the air as it makes the short distance in mere milliseconds
He falls back with a loud thud.
She pulls the trigger one more time and hit him in the head
Trinity stands over him, and for a moment, I am expecting her to break down and cry, but she just stands there looking over the body of the man whose life she just took.
But then I see her eyes go wide as there is a scuffle behind me.
"Colton, watch out."
As I spin around, there are two guys behind me with their guns drawn.?
In the back of my eye, I can see Trinity still standing in the doorway.
"Trinity, get down."
But the damn woman does not listen; she steps in slow, fucking agonizing steps for me, closer. She seems to feel invisible today as she comes to stand next to me. The asshole that stands in front of me only but laughs.
"Little girl, do you know how to handle that thing."
"Little man, my father, is Vic Stone; I am sure I know how to handle this thing."
The man's eyes grow wide and he only but cursed to himself. Well, he did not quite know who Trinity was; now I wish she was not standing here next to me, but she seems to have scared these two assholes shitless. But they, too, are not backing down.
And I am not even going to bother to warn them to back down. We knew this day was going to come, and this shall be the first day that will spell the end of so many.
Now, while they are trembling in their asses, deciding if they should shoot Vic's daughter, I cock my gun and watch as the two assholes freeze. So, in as little as only an inch of two seconds, I unleash fire onto the two men that are standing in front of us.
As they fall to the floor, I finally sigh in relief.?
This was fucking close. I did not think that I would get ambushed in my own home.
Vic Stone has now declared war.
And ya, my princess has just killed one of his crew. What happens now is the big question. Does she rise from this and become stronger, or does this crush her, and she loses herself. That is something I can't control; I have no control over saving her mind. All I can do now is wait.
I wish she did not have to hold that gun in her hand. You can think you are strong for shit like that, but you never are.
So once the craziness has calmed down, she heads for the shower. Her quick shower turns into and forty-five-minute one. I don't know what to say to her; I believe that she will talk to me when she is ready, but I also don't want her to take too long. I don't know if I should talk to someone. I have no damn idea what to do.
How can her own fucking father do this? He knows that she is with me. Was his intention only to take me, or was he planning on taking her down too? I do not wish even to entertain the thought. All I know is that he is not going to get away with this.
I think it is time to give the man I call.
As I am dialing his number, I feel as a soft, warm hand curl around my waist. Turning my face in her direction, all I can see is a beautiful smile. Then she whispers, "Don t worry." She says as I feel her soft, warm breath as it lingers over my skin. "I am going to be fine."
"Princess, that shit was scary. I thought I was going to lose you for a second."
"Colton, you are never going to lose me. I belong to you now, and there is no other one I would rather belong to."
"But what about your dad. He is going to wait for you to come home." I stop and hesitate while I realized and remind myself who she truly is, "You are supposed to step up in your dad s place."
"Well," her smile starts to turn into anger, and I can see the fury burn in her eyes, "Guess we will have to take back what is mine then."
"Princess, you can t go up against your father."
"Colton, my father just declared war on you. I am to become your wife, don t think for one minute that I am not going to stand by you."
Hearing her say that does bring a warmness to the cold heart that has three fucking bodies lying in his house. So with nothing but fury that is starting to consume my body, I make that call.
It only takes the fuck two seconds to answer, yet he is mistaken, "Trinity, is that you?"
"Ya, fuck. You wish. Best you sent for your men, or I bag them in pieces and have them delivered to your doorstep."
"Colton, you…"
"Yes, I can. After Vic, it is only business."
"At least send Trinity home."
Well, this man is just fucking stupid. Does he not realize that his daughter comes here for a reason. If there was ever a time, then now, Trinity and I are closer than we have ever been.
So, here are my words to Vic Stone, "You made a big fucking mistake today. I will come for you. Keep sending them, and I will be sending them back."
Just before I drop the call, I hear him raise his voice in absolute anger, "I will get back what is mine."
"Ya, about that…"
