The Captive Series Read Online Free

ready for this soon in our relationship. Things got out of hand, and Mr. Rossi and his friend noticed and picked us up, made sure I was okay, then brought me here.” We have got to work on her poker face. Her story would have been believable if she didn’t continually look at me for reassurance.
    “Why didn’t you bring her here first, then, if you were so noble?” He was trying to catch us up in our lie. Fuck him. I didn’t owe him shit.
    “First, I never said I was noble—far from it actually—but I didn’t know who she was until I saw that she was labelled missing. I don’t need some punk beating up his date. So I straightened him out and then brought her here. If you got a problem with it, then fuck it, deal with it.” I was practically in his face by now. I was laying claim to Amber, and I didn’t give a shit what her dad thought. I wasn’t going to take any more of his shit. The look on his face told me that he wasn’t really upset about what happened to her.
    If I had a little girl, I would have already had blood on my hands dealing with this type of shit. No one would be allowed to harm my baby, but he was a cop, on the good side supposedly. I hadn’t found any shady information on his ass. I had been trying for the last six months to get some dirt on him, but he seemed clean as a whistle. Having dirt on officials made life easier for me and my family.
    “Well, thank you for finding my girl and bringing her here—now you can go.” Balls...he had them, I would give him that. If he kept that shit up, he wouldn’t have them for much longer.
    “That isn’t going to happen. You see, your daughter is now mine. Nothing—I mean nothing—is going to change that.” I looked at him with a look that said, “Just try me.”
    “What the fuck? You think you own her because you prevented another asshole from raping her?” The bastard didn’t know when to quit, but persistence didn’t always pay off.
    I laughed at the stupid fuck. It was either that or choke the shit out of him. “I want her because I want her. I don’t need your approval, and neither does she. I am just letting you know how it is and how it will be.”
    Just then, my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID, and it was that fuck-up cousin of mine. McLaren had nothing to say. Good, because I was tempted to fuck his ass up if he said another damn thing to me.
    I squeezed her hand to get her attention. I gave her a wink when her eyes met mine and said, “Cara, I have to take this. I’ll be back in a moment.” To taunt her father, I bent down and kissed her pretty lips. I knew she wanted to refute my claim to her, but they just gave her some Vicodin and it was taking effect. Plus, she didn’t want me to whack Grimes because of her.
    I walked out of the room, and I could hear him shouting about how dangerous I was to her. What the fuck? I hadn’t even stepped out of the room before he was losing it. He was probably bashing me and trying to get her away from me. It wasn’t going to go down that way. She would just find her ass kidnapped again, but by me this time.
    “Enzo, what do you want? I am fucking busy cleaning up your mess,” I hissed on the phone.
    “Grimes is dead.”
    “What? How the fuck did that happen? You were to leave him alive.”
    “He was mouthing off, and I’d had enough of him.”
    “I don’t give a shit that he was mouthing off,” I roared. I hung up on his ass before he said anything to make me forget that he was family.
    “He’s family,” I chanted to myself as I attempted to cool down.
    I was pacing back and forth in the hallway when I heard a crash coming from her room. I booked it into the room to see Vito standing over McLaren with a gun pointed at the fuck. He turned at my entrance and said angrily, “Boss, we need to get her out of here. He just fucking hit her.” The doctor and two nurses entered right after me and were too stunned to move.
    I ran up to my girl, looking at her and her latest
