Chapter <b>339 </b>


    LUKE


    “What the fuck did you say?” I paced feeling hot suddenly, what in the devil’s name was Nick thinking. “Fuck!” <b>I </b>cursed under my breathe. “He told us not to open on peak at the door no matter what we hear, boss, he might be doing the same thing he did in the ind.” Bloody hell!


    I cut the call and just stood there not knowing what to do. It didn’t matter if I rushed there, it might already be toote. What was he thinking? “What’s wrong, you look stressed.” Marcus asking handing me a drink.


    I downed it in one go, the burning sensation in my throat felt good, just what I needed. “Nick is at the warehouse.” He looked confused, “Okay, so?” I knew he didn’t get it. “The warehouse Marcus, where I am keeping Xander.”


    “Shit!” He cursed under his breath running his hand through his hair. “We should get there now.<i>” </i>yes well, it might just be a waste going there. “We will have to go together, Ethan is already freaked out by Nick, this will just send him over the edge.


    I thought he was going to wait for me to take care of things, why did he go there by himself. Did he thinking I was taking too long with it? “I know, let’s go. I will call Olivia on the way. But what exactly is he doing, did they tell you?”


    I didn’t know if telling Marcus was a good idea, but then again, what was the point of hiding it when he was going to see it when we got there. “The same thing he did on the ind.” Marcus frowned. He didn’t get it.


    “What he did at the ind was inhumane, it was like he was ughtering a pig only to find out after his done that he was skinning the man alive. Now, Xander has no skin, what do you think he is doing to him now?”


    Marcus sighed, on the road I was driving like a mad man, I didn’t know if it was to protect Xander or Nick. He shouldn’t go that far; he was going to regret it if he did. Marcus didn’t say another word until we stopped at the warehouse, right next to Nick’s car.


    Just we got out, Nick appeared, hands and arms bloody as if he were bathing in blood. My heart raced in my chest so fast that I could hear it in my ears. “Jesus fucking Christ! What the hell have you done?” Marcus yelled the moment he saw him.


    He was mortified. “Hello Marcus, Luke.” He stood in front of us, toolbox in hand and looking satisfied. “What have you done, Nick?” I asked with my voice calm, but that was just it, my voice was calm but on the inside a storm was brewing.


    I was angry that he did what I thought he did, him giving in to the dark side, it was not an easy thing to deal with and that was why I told him to get rid of the skin and I was going to get rid of the owner.


    “I killed the bastard.” He answered calmly as if he was not affected at all. I wondered if he was putting on an act or what. “How did you even kill him? you look like you were ughtering a pig!” Marcus paced.


    He was only seeing the blood now, he didn’t see what we saw back at the ind. “He was a pig.”


    “Jeez! Do you even feel anything?” he shrugged as if nothing happened. “Help me wash my hands quickly, I don’t want Lupita to see me this way.” I looked back at his car and there sat Lupita.


    I narrowed my eyes looking at her, did she maybe have something to do with this? “You brought Lupita here? What is wrong with you?” Nick said nothing. ced the toolbox at my feet then walked away leisurely to the tap outside.


    Opened and took his time washing the blood off his hands and arms. “Luke?” Marcus called my name. I didn’t say it might be toote by the time we arrived, and it was. Nick looked fine though, but I wasn’t sure how fine can one


    be after killing another human being.


    “Was he not like this after killing Sandra?” Marcus paused as if he were thinking about it. “He was fine, he didn’t seem different at all. What are you thinking?” I shrugged; I wasn’t about to give my son inw ammunition to use against my nephew.


    Nick was a loose cannon, and he was getting worse by the day. I could not longer sit back and watch anymore. Something had to be done. The man was a billionaire and a public figure. He shouldn’t be doing things like those.


    He came back, “It was nice to see you both, but I must leave now.” I shook my head. “Why did you do it?” something shed in his eyes, but it was gone before I could notice what it was. “Because you were taking your sweet time dealing with it even after I told you it was bothering me.”


    He paused then smirked. “They say, if you want something done right, you do it yourself. I got rid of Xander, you take care of the body. See you.” He got into his car and drove off. “Wannae and see the damage his caused?”


    Marcus hesitated but then followed me inside. The men stood by that door looking horrified. I could only imagine what they were looking at.


    We got closer and they moved aside. Marcus moved past me and peaked inside. He quickly took a couple of steps back with his mouth hung open. I wondered if it was worse than skinning him alive.


    I moved closer but regretted it the moment Iid my eyes <b>on </b>him, well, what used to be him. you couldn’t even recognise the face. Now he was just something with arms and legs. I took out my phone and dialled Elodie.


    “Brother,” she sounded cheerful. “Your son is a fucking monster, D monster.” Silence followed my words. “He was never trained Luke, my father never saw my son and we got rid of the serum. How can he be the Don’s monster.”


    “Well, he is.” I cut the call.
