and he immediately came over, grabbed a fistful of my hair, and yanked my head back. “I’d shut the fuck up, if I were you,” he said.
I scoffed. “Birds of a feather, huh?”
Next thing I knew, Randy was in my face, my jaw squeezed in between his fingers. “You think we won’t hurt you?” he snapped. “You think you’re untouchable?”
I was probably signing my own death warrant, but rage was making me reckless. “I think you men are a bunch of pussies,” I shot back. “I think you guys are scared of two women and, if we weren’t tied up, you’d be running scared like a bunch of little bitches!”
“You fucking cunt!”
“Leave her alone!” Robbie’s voice was still weak, but we all heard her just the same. “What is wrong with you?!”
Randy ignored Robbie’s outburst. “Tony, untie the bitch,” he commanded, and the guy pulling on my scalp, released me and went to untying my binds.
By now, Randy was pacing and enraged that I dared to call out his manhood. The third guy had still yet to do or say anything, but, again, my focus was Randy. I had no doubt the guys were going to do everything in their power to save me, but I also knew I couldn’t sit back like a damsel in distress. I had to do something to save myself.
The second my binding gave way, I stood up and faced Randy. “Let Robbie go?” I demanded. “She…she needs a doctor.”
Randy stopped pacing and let out a snort. “Do you think I give a fuck if she needs a doctor or not?”
“She’s your girlfriend!” Or, at least, she was. “Don’t you care for her at all?”
“Not more than I care about ten million dollars,” he answered honestly.
I shook my head. “Do you honestly think you’re going to get away with this?” No one was that stupid, right? “They’re going to kill you.”
By now, the men had fanned out and with Randy in the middle, Tony to the left of him, and the third guy to his right. If I didn’t know better, I’d think I was being dared to fight all three of them since calling out their manhood. Of course, I didn’t know better. I didn’t know these men. That might very well be what they were planning since I insulted them.
Randy’s grin was pure evil. “Not if they want to get you back alive, Frankie,” he taunted. “They have no idea where you are. And when they call, they’ll do everything I say.”
“You’re underestimating your opponents, Randy,” I replied. “Or you’re overestimating yourself.”
“I think if anyone is doing any underestimating, it’s you.”
“Release her!’ I demanded again.
“Make me,” he taunted before rushing straight for me. I was about to get my ass kicked by some grown men, but I wouldn’t go down without a fight. I wasn’t going to win, but Phoenix, Ciro, and Luca had taught me well.
Randy swung, and I ducked low enough to get a jab in across his ribs. I knew I wasn’t strong enough to make a startling impact, but I was small and quick. I just needed to do what the guys had taught me, and that was to get a hand on his family jewels and show no mercy. Even if I had to rip his dick and balls clean off his body, that was the objective.
“You bitch!” he screamed as he wrapped his arms around my waist and threw me across the room. I landed with a breathtaking thud, but I was able to scramble up before he charged at me again.
“Frankie!” Robbie was screaming my name and I could vaguely hear the chair bouncing around as she tried to free herself. I ignored her cries and focused on Randy.
“Is that all you’ve got?” I goaded. I let out a rough laugh. “You really are a pussy.”
The words were barely out of my mouth before he pretended to swing on me again. I ducked but he was ready. His fist came flying into my stomach and I could feel bile threatening to rise. My elbow came up and I jabbed his face with all my strength, causing a bloody nose.
I glance around and saw an old baseball bat leaning inside one of the boxes, I raced towards it, proving that to be a mistake. Tony intercepted me before I could get my hands on the bat. “Nuh uh, you stupid bitch,” he sing-songed before sending a fist to my midsection. The same place Randy had landed his
