FIFTY-EIGHT

JAXON

"What did you just say?"

Audrey took a deep breath. "She was covering it up with your jacket after you gave it to her but, Abella saw her back and told me. We both thought you saw already but, didn't speak on it."

"No. I didn't..." My hands balled into fists. He put his hands on her. That son of a bitch fucking put his hands on her. My blood was boiling and I couldn't control my feet from starting to pace back and forth. I'm going to kill him. 

Tyler watched me with weary in his eyes. "Jaxon... get a hold yourself."

"I'm going to kill him."

"I know you're pissed but, you can't just run into Kimora's house and kill Adam."

"I will-"

"And then what?!" He glared at me. "You promised you wouldn't do this shit anymore once you got out of Axel's hands. Didn't you?"

I glared at the floor, knowing he was right. I did promise to him. We both promised each other. Besides, I told Kimora I didn't want to kill any more people and yet, if I kill that bastard, I don't know what will happen. I could get caught. Kimora probably would see me as a heartless monster instead of being cured of her misery.

"Wait... Axel." I quickly grabbed my jacket and I was about to leave but, Tyler grabbed my shoulder. "Where are you-"

"I'll be back. Stay here and watch Kimora for me." I ran out of the door as he called after me.

"What are you doing here?" One of the guards asked as the two of them that were posted by the door aimed at me. I only glared at the both of them. "I need to speak to Axel."

"He's done with you. Go away before I put this bullet through your head." Kevin snarled.

"Do it then," I smirked and Kevin's eyes widen in surprise from my reply. He clenched his jaw and his hand started to shake slightly. I knew he wasn't going to pull the trigger. He couldn't. As much as he wanted to kill me, Axel had ordered no one to do so. Guess being his old best friend has its perks.

The door swung open to the apartment that Caleb and I had invaded once and Axel stood there, amusement in his eyes. "Oh. Jaxon. I never thought I'd see you agai-"

I punched him in his face, grabbing him by his shirt before he could stumble back. "You both planned for Adam to come back into her life. Then you had Adam abuse her. Adam is a pawn in your game isn't he?!"

He smirked, wiping the blood from his lip. "Abuse? I wouldn't say abused."

"What are you talking about?"

"Adam wanted to have Kimora... his way. Not my ideal way and such an unmanly thing to do."

I was lost by his words for a good minute until they settled in my head for me to understand.

"Son of a bitch..."

KIMORA

"Say 'ahh'." Audrey held out a spoon for me. Tyler raised an eyebrow. "Um. Audrey... I don't think that she wants to be treated like a baby."
