Thank you all so much for your support, be it through reviews or favouriting/following the story! Helps me a lot to get a feel of what people like and want to see happen in the story! Hope you all don't mind the small chapters but I'm just starting out and getting the feel of where I want this to go, hope you all stick around! I think it's maybe time for Ian to get a bit of his own medicine don't you?

As Paddy looked on at the man tied up to the chair with a dark bag over his head he knew he had to keep his cool, he needed to savour this.

"Well isn't it a pleasure to meet the infamous Dr Ian Faulkner, I've heard a lot about you" Paddy drawled out the statement with intent to unnerve the smug Australian.

"I would say the same to you, however this bag is proving to be a problem, who might you be then?" the arrogant man replied, although he had the bag placed over his head Paddy could still tell the man was smirking.

"Maura's father" Paddy replied bluntly.

"Arthur? ...That isn't ...what...who are you?" Paddy could sense the change in the mans demeanour as he was now stumbling over his words.

"Patrick Doyle" The reaction to the mob bosses name was I stand, Ian's shoulders tensed up and his breathing hitched. "I've heard you've been knocking about my daughter? Make you feel like a big man does it? You're nothing but a worthless SCUMBAG" As Paddy finished he leapt at Ian knocking the seat back, slamming on the hard wood floor of the living room.

A dark humourless chuckle erupted from the Australian "Y'know for your daughter seemingly being a genius she obviously knows how to pick her men, loves getting a slap around" the ignorant Dr replied trying to get a rise from the Irish man.

"Don't you dare speak about my daughter like that!" Paddy had heard enough, pummelling the man on the floor until he was gasping for air.

"Is that..all you've..got"The Australian laughed despite having great difficulty breathing through his multiple broken ribs.

Paddy lent down so he could whisper into the mans ear with a frighteningly calm voice "You haven't even seen the half of it, don't you worry this is only the beginning for you, treating my daughter and granddaughter like that.. You're not worth killing, I'm going to torture you the same way you did to my little girl. Aiden!" The young mob underling stood to the attention of the mob boss as he had dazed out of hearing the repetitive crunching if bones from the corner of the room.

"Yes boss?" The young Irish boy replied.

"Make sure our guest here stays tied up, gag him as well" Paddy demanded.

"You really think I was torturing her when she was begging me to go faster and harder?" The Australian jested.

The mob boss dug his fingernails as hard as he could into his palms. Calm down, he thought, he's just trying to wind you up.

"Ignoring me now? Psht when Maura does that to me she certainly gets a couple knocks" The Australian pressed on.

The Irish man looked down at the man who caused his family so much despair and took one last swing of his steel capped boot at the mans chest. That should do the trick.

Paddy looked over at the young boy and shouted "GAG HIM NOW"

The young boy scurried over as Paddy left the room slamming the door behind him. Time to go check on my girls, even if they don't know I'm there.

Don't worry Jane, Maura and Arabella bonding is coming up next so a much longer chapter! This was more of a filler as I just really needed to see Ian get his comeuppance! Next chapter we see the real extent of Maura's abuse over the years! Don't worry that's not the end for Ian, suggestions on that front anyone's? Your reviews mean a lot to me so thank you and keep them coming please! You're all my inspiration!
