Shattered

Chapter 57

"Jack?" Me and Larissa says in unison. Then look towards each other. "How do you know him?" We both say at the same time in a creepy way that was perfectly in synched.

"How do you know him? He's Erik's brother, my brother-in-law." She knew this guys who has been appearing in the same locations as me out of nowhere. With this tiny bit of information it connected him to people around me.

"We keep running into each other which is so weird..."

"Jack, what are you doing here?" Larissa's expression changes to mine and Nathan's, putting aside mine and Nathan's conversation.

"Hello, Larissa, Alina and Nathan." When getting to Nathan's name he looked very hateful. "It's a pleasure to see you all, especially Larissa." His smile was alarming, it didn't look like he was being friendly.

"Why are you here?" I ask him thinking it is bizarre for him to pay a visit here.

"Oh, you know? Just to get things done." He shrugs his shoulders after replying nonchalantly. Jack wasn't wearing any business attire which indicated that he probably isn't here for work. Maybe to visit Larissa? That seemed out of possibilities with the way Larissa had reacted, meaning she didn't expect him.

"What things done?" His sisters-in-law asked a little more harshly to get to the point that he seemed to avoid until now.

"Just do right by Erik, make them pay the way he suffered." His frightening smile reappeared.

"Mommy here's your phone, I'm done!" Leo runs up to me handing my mobile device and looking around to see everyone in this room. Our little boy was completely oblivious to all of us before. Once his eyes land on Jack's he was so defensive of me, "go away!"

Everyone looked at Leo standing beside me with an expression that would be more threatening later on when he grows up, an intimidating glare that his father also possessed. As Nathan was going to take a step back to probably call some security up to escort Jack out, a more aggressive tone came out.

"Don't you dare move!" Jack yelled pulling out a firearm from the waistband of his pants. What the hell? It was then everyone got so tensed with his presence. "You fucking asshole!"

"Leo, baby, don't move or say anything okay? Mommy and daddy are right here." My voice was low in order for Jack to not hear, my lips barely moved to keep him from shouting again.

"Jack, what are—" Larissa's attempt to calm him down was useless, falling on deaf ears.

"Shut the fuck up for once Larissa!" He screamed at her which oddly made me happy deep down since all this time she has been constantly hanging out with Nathan for maybe more then work, but worry soon replaced that feeling for the safety of my child. "Nathan, you dumbfuck, go over there!" He motions his hand in the direction of the corner opposite to the door. If anyone comes back for lunch early, first thing they'll see if they walk into his office is me, Leo and Jack.

Cautiously, Nathan walks over to the spot Jack had asked him to move to. "Jack, why are you angry?" I ask a little confused as to how out of all people, the most irrelevant person ties into what's been going on.

With a laugh that send terrifying chills down my spine, he continued shortly after. "How about I talk and you listen, if not I'll shoot you?"

"Leave my family out of this!" Nathan yells back at him which aggravates Jack even more. He shot at the objects beside him in order to scare him. If Nathan was scared, he was doing a fantastic job at hiding it.

My hands were shaking with a cold sweat coating my palms, Leo clenching my hand tightly as he entwines our fingers together.

"Answer me this, where is Erik?" How am I supposed to know that? I have no clue who he is to begin with. "Larissa, wouldn't you like to answer this for me?" She was fearful herself.
