Mayor’s POV:I looked at her and tightened my fist into a ball. I could tell she was about to faint. But my mind had stopped thinking straight. I halted my pace in front of her. She raised her face a little and stared me in the eyes. I took off my belt, as I couldn’t hold back the anger inside me anymore. This shouldn’t have happened, and now I have no idea how much worse things are going to get. I saw her passing out while her hands were still tied up. She had her head resting on her arm. I raised my belt, but then I heard people chanting.... "JUSTICE, JUSTICE"I looked around and found everyone looking at me for justice. They wanted me to punish her, and why not? She had broken many rules before as well.I heard Justice's words one more time before swirling around to look at her."FUCK JUSTICE," I growled, raising my belt, but it didn’t land anywhere near Phoenix. I hit that bastard Morgan with all of my strength. He couldn’t even take the first hit and fell off on his back."Oh!" t
Mayor's POV:"Is she okay?" Jace turned to ask me. The pain on his face caught my eye. I was watching him with a lot of thoughts running through my head. The fact that he was supposed to speak to me regarding any issue first and not take decisions yet he didn’t do that had pissed me off."She will be," I said through my teeth. My eyes were burning, and my head was throbbing. All this happened under my nose to my Phoenix. I was over here worried for the safety of other girls while my girl was getting dragged through the mud. The fact that those assholes ripped her shirt open had ripped my heart open.Every time I recalled how Phoenix looked my way, I felt anger bubbling through my veins."How dare they---," I cut his words off in the middle by putting a finger on my lips. He was taken aback by my actions because he knew about my feelings for Phoenix."How dare you let her uncle in?" I lowered my face again, sitting down on the couch and resting my elbows on my knees as I hunched over.
Mayor’s POV:I had plans for all of them, but my priority was Phoenix’s recovery. The doctors had done a great job of taking care of her, but shockingly, she hadn’t woken up yet. A whole day had passed while she was still asleep."Xavier! The clients are asking for you." Jace said, walking into my room and watching me fix my hair. I took one last glance in the mirror before heading out to the kitchen. Jace was literally handling all the business at that moment, and, truth be told, I cared less about anything other than Phoenix."You take care of them," I replied, paying less attention. I looked for the tray they had set for her, and a sigh of relief escaped my lips. It was the first time they hadn’t missed anything, or maybe they knew this time they were going to get punished hard because of how sensitive I was to her. Anything could happen."Xavier, don’t you think you are giving too much of your time to this issue?" He literally bumped into me when I halted suddenly."Well, that’s s
Mayor’s POV:I loved watching Morgan squirm and cry. He wasn’t that miserable when he was torturing her. The fact that he thought he could come into my town and hurt what matters most to me was mind-boggling."You will be punished," I smirked, watching him become terrified at the prospect of having to pay for his sins."I’ve a kid, a family. Please don’t hurt me. My son will be waiting for me. Please don’t let him suffer," he begged, not remembering that the girl he harassed was also somebody’s child. And that fueled me even more."You worry about your son, yet you attempted to destroy someone else’s kid’s life. That innocent girl over there is your family. She has never done anything bad to anyone, has she?" I yelled the last part and could sense his body shudder in fear."I’m so so--rry" he burst into crying and lowered his face. Why was his crying not affecting me? It was rather comforting.His sight made me remember every single person who had hurt innocent people, including the t
Mayor’s POV:Morgan’s Flashback:I saw her walking in my direction. A part of me wanted to hide, but how would I get what I wanted if I didn’t open up about my feelings for her?"Uncle Morgan?" She hurriedly pulled the bathrobe over her chest and looked at me in bewilderment."Yeah, I wanted to know if you needed something." I lied. Of course, I didn’t care about her needs. My needs are my priority."Well, you don’t have to waste your energy. I'll ask my aunt if there's anything I need." She was blunt. That scared me. I mentally thought that it would be difficult to get what I want from her.I have always known that she was a bit rude and that was something that scared me of her."No, I--I just care so much about you." I stumbled over my words. Looking into her eyes was going to mess up my thoughts."Thank you so much, but I can take care of myself." She flipped her hair and slammed the door in my face. How rude that I brought her here and all she gives me is this attitude! It wasn’t
Morgan’s FlashBack:I crawled into the bed to grab her, and the instant I punched her to knock her down and pull her back, she bit me."Aaargh!" a loud scream escaped my lips as I was in pain. "BITCH!" I yelled as her teeth pierced through my skin. The pain was unbearable, and I couldn’t actually take it anymore. "LET GO." I pushed myself up and away from her, and she actually let go of my skin. But before I could grab her again, she rolled down the bed and ran inside the bathroom, locking the door behind her.I followed her, but it was too late. I kicked the door once and twice, but then she screamed from the other side."YOU FREAKING PERVERT. I HAVE SCISSORS IN MY HANDS. YOU OPEN THIS DOOR AND I AM GOING TO OPEN YOUR STOMACH." Her voice was fearless. Where in the hell did she grab that confidence from?I nervously stepped back and bit my nails as the sweat of a scar formed on my forehead. If she survives the night, she is going to tell my family everything. I stayed in the room, wal
Mayor’s POV:"Why did you have to traumatize her?" I raised my face slowly just to look him in the eyes. He got to see the rage in my eyes, and it shuddered his body."Please, it was not my fault," he begged again, probably shitting his pants just by staring into my eyes."Shushhhhhh," I hushed him shut, putting pressure on closing my eyes, "Exactly, it’s not your fault. Anyone will fall in love with her. So whatever you did was not your fault." I said, and watching me agree with him made him relax a bit. I saw a smile appear on his face, and I actually felt bad for him. This poor guy had been through a lot, and it wasn’t his fault either."Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Mayor." He blinked with difficulty, yammering through his dry lips. The bruises had gotten worse on his body after the constant beatings."You don’t deserve this humiliation, this pain," I uttered, making him nod in agreement with me. The smile on his face kept growing bigger. Then I pulled my hand out of the pocket and se
Mayor’s POV:I’ve been out of town for two days, looking for something. And finally, here it was: the house I’d been looking for."Who are you looking for?" a lady answered once I rang the bell. Definitely, it wasn’t my town, so she had no idea who I was."Mr. Morgan lives here?" I asked her, closing one eye as if I had tried and failed to recall his last name."Yes. Who are you?" the lady in black jeans and a white shirt asked me. I failed to notice the frown on her forehead; my mission was to make her even sadder."I’m his friend," I replied, giving a rough eye to the house. That bastard had actually built a very nice house. My guards were now surrounding the house because they were aware that something was going to happen."Then you should know he isn’t home." She acted like a lady who persuaded herself that she knows her husband very well. The fact that instead of guessing that maybe I didn’t know, she just tried being cocky with me."That’s why I came here so that I can bring you
