Instead of looking fearful that one of the richest men in the whole state, shit maybe even the whole country, is standing there promising to ruin his life, Darius just smiles wide looking slightly unhinged. “Oh, so you only care about that son?” Victor’s upper lip twitches. “I’m going to make sure you spend the rest of your life rotting in a jail cell,” Mr. Hayes seethes. Gary is on his feet again, thanks to the help of his team mates, clutching his arm to his chest. It brings me great joy to see he is in agony—serves the bastard right. I did as he told me to, okay well maybe I got two out of five off the field but how was I to know only Saint and Darius drink that particular protein shake that I put the powder in! Before the end of the last quarter everyone’s phones began to ping with incoming messages. The moment I felt eyes on me I just knew what happened before I even opened the link. “As long as you’re in the one next to me,” Darius says like he isn’t worried. “You broke my fucking arm!” Gary screams. Darius just shrugs and smiles at both the Hayes men. “You’re lucky that’s all I broke, you rapist.” Gasps ring out around us and I drop my gaze in shame. “That’s bullshit and that video proves it!” Mr. Hayes tries to defend his son. Darius steps forward until they are chest to chest. Corvin releases me as he and Beck move in closer ready to pull Darius back if he swings at Gary’s dad. “No, that video just proves that you put your son up to it. You tried to use your golden boy to fuck me over and keep me quiet, except now, it won’t work.” Victor eyes Darius with careful scrutiny. “You have no idea who you just fucked with,” Victor growls. “I know exactly who I picked a war with and believe me, I’ll fucking win this,” Darius spits. “Someone call the cops, Dad I want his ass arrested,” Gary yells like a little bitch. Darius tears his gaze from Victor to look at Gary. “Fuck,” Corvin mumbles, almost like he knows what is about to happen. “Daddy won’t let his son get arrested, he was talking out of his ass. He can’t afford the publicity right now with the sale of his company being announced in a few days.” Victor’s eyes widen, Gary frowns and scoffs. “I’m not getting arrested, you dumb fuck, you are!” Darius shakes his head and tsks. I look around us to see everyone has stopped and are watching this scene instead of stepping in, I guess this just proves that the five of them really are the kings and no one touches them. “You didn’t hear me, dipshit. Daddy won’t let his son go to jail right now.” “I am his son!” Gary screams. “No, you’re one of his sons.” I suck in a sharp breath as I look between the three of them with wide eyes. “What the fuck, Dad, what the fuck is he on about?” Gary demands, but Victor is too busy staring at Darius in shock. “You picked the wrong twin, Victor. I promise you, I will outshine you and your pick of the litter. When I’m done fucking you over, you won’t have two pennies left to scratch together.” Gary stares at Darius for a second before snapping his gaze to his father who is grinding his teeth so hard I fear he may snap them. “Watch your back, Hayes, well as best you can because you won’t see me coming when I end you.” Darius turns and stalks toward me. He doesn’t even spare me a glance as he shoulder checks me on his way out. Crue, Beck and Saint shoot me pitying looks before they race after their friend. I feel sick. Darius and Gary are twins. One raped me and the other one I’m in love with. Corvin’s coach goes to him and whispers something in his ear, Corv nods and marches to me gripping my arm and dragging me from the field. I don’t question him when I hear
