idea.
    “I know who and what you are Rebecca—” The small space closed in on me. I reluctantly moved an inch closer watching her. I swept my left hand over the coolness of the gun’s shaft. “I know all the things you did to get where you are today.”
    Her brow rose with the curve of her lips. “Do you?” Her question was sardonic. She toyed with me, her words filling me with tumultuous doubt.
    “I know that you’re beneath Jax and—” I raised a finger to my chin taking my time as I shook my head. “—a liar.”
    “Is that what he told you?”
    I shook my head. “No, but I’m a smart girl, and it doesn’t take me long once I’m out of my cage.” I arched my brow.
    “How long before he trades you in?”
    I laughed nervously. “What?”
    She relaxed into the chair. “You are naïve, aren’t you?” A heavy smile painted her face showing concern. “He has you completely brainwashed of his perfection. Ha— I was you once, ignorant to reality. Thinking that he loved me, and I was the only one.” Her eyes moved to her left finding Jax. She shook her head. “But then there was Isabella.” Her attention came back to me. What was she talking about? She was trying to goad me, and I knew it. I inhaled deeply while not changing my position.
    “That’s enough!” Jax lunged forward, the veins in his temples throbbing, his body was rigid, and heated sweat was beading on his forehead.
    “Awe, Jax,” she shook her head. “I know I’m not leaving this room and I accept that, but trust me when I say I’m taking you down with me.” Her eyes bled hatred for him.
    “You can certainly try, but nothing you say has any claim over Jax. I won’t allow you hurt my husband.”
    She shifted her body to take me in as if she had suddenly been possessed. “We will most definitely see about that, Isabella.”
    “Is this really fucking necessary?” I asked as Jax pulled an automatic gun from behind Tony’s jacket, pulling the slide back and checking to see if it was loaded. As he began twisting a silencer on the barrel, I watched knowing he was going to kill her. Jax was cold and reactive as he pointed the gun at Rebecca. “There’s nothing we will see, Rebecca.” He pulled the hammer back on the gun. “You should’ve stayed dead.”
    “I’m your sister, Bella! I’m your sister!” she cried. After the entire tough girl act had fallen away, she showed her vulnerability. But why was she telling me she was my sister? I didn’t have a sister, and my parents were both gone.
    Her voice echoed over and over in my head as she begged for her life. “Stop! Jax, stop!” I demanded.
    “Bella, you want to know the truth?” Her breath hitched as a tear beaded at her eye before falling to her lips.
    “Talk.”
    She nodded. “Okay,”
    Jax grabbed my arm and leaned into my ear. “You have no idea what you’re doing.”
    “You’re hurting my arm,” I whispered.
    He drew a deep breath and clenched his teeth before finally releasing me. “You don’t know what you’re doing.”
    “I’m a big girl. She’s just told me she’s working for my father and she’s my sister, I need to hear her out.”
    “No.” He shook his head. “Everything she’s gonna say is gonna ruin you in one way or another.” He raised the gun to Rebecca again, I knew he was going to kill her and that this was it for her.
    “I’ll talk! I’ll tell you anything you want to know, Bella!” She cried as the darkness of what was about to happen sunk in.
    “No. No you won’t.” Jax moved closer resting the gun just above her perfectly shaped brow.
    “Please!” She panicked, her body shaking while her eyes scattered between us.
    Jax was being an animal. Rebecca couldn’t be trusted, but how could he act as if she wasn’t a human being? He once called her his wife, and now he was going to kill her. I cringed at the thought of it being me in that chair.
    “STOP! Jax, I said stop!”
    “Bella, she can’t be trusted. She wants to
