Chapter 13
Steph's POV
I watched in horror as the love of my life went into a rage I have never seen him in. I knew Carlos was a lethal and loyal person but to witness both is intense and I had no idea what action to take. I knew for certain he has no conscience thought of what he is doing. I wanted to stop him myself but no way did I have the strength to restrain Carlos. He would never hurt me on purpose but this rage was dangerous.
I watched as Carlos took dishes and threw them, flipped the couch over, and mumbled in Spanish furiously. With no idea how to prevent him from doing any further damage to the apartment I grabbed my phone and called Tank.
"Yo"
"We have a situation that I really can't explain right now but I need your help." I said flinching as I heard something shatter behind me.
"What is going on up there? Is that Ranger? I'm coming up there right now." Tank said hanging up. If anyone can get Carlos to calm down it's Tank.
Within a minute Tank came flying into the apartment and nodded at me silently making sure I was ok. When I nodded back I saw him slowly approach Carlos. Tank went behind Carlos and wrapped him in a bear hug with Carlos struggling against him. I looked on worried Tank might get hurt.
"Come on Ricardo you need to recollect yourself before you end up hurting yourself or even worse Stephanie." Tank said trying to make it to the door. Carlos still had that fire of rage in his eyes and I knew the man I loved was somewhere in there.
I watched as the door closed behind the two men and made my way into the bedroom. Today has been exhausting!
Carlos' POV
All I remember is seeing black after hearing the news about my daughter and what she has encountered. I could hear smashing ringing in my ears through the darkness and feeling the tension ease but only for a split second. When I get my hands on that man he will beg me for death and only when I tear him to shreds will I deliver him right to hells gates.
This tragic made me realize how shitty of a father I have been to my own flesh and blood. When I should have been there guiding her and teaching her what wisdom I have acquired I signed my rights over to a man who belittled and abused her. I can't believe how blind I have been!
I felt something restraining me. With this darkness surrounding me I had no idea who was restricting my need to release the beast I constantly fought to conceal. I struggled with this force I was blinded from, wanting to rip whoever it was apart. If I had only paid more attention to the way Julie sounded on the phone while we talked or the context of her emails. I could have prevented my baby from getting hurt by the man she knew as her father. Julie was from my loins and will stay under my protection from now on. God forbid my daughter from ever setting foot next to that man again. Should Stephanie and I ever reproduce I swear on my Abuela's life I would do anything to protect that child with my last breath because I had seemed to fail my daughter as it was.
That's when the darkness started to clear and I could finally gain control. I thought of my babe and the beast inside seemed to be tamed back into its cage. Realization dawned on me, I could have hurt her. Stephanie had never seen me lose control and I had hoped to god she would never have to see that side of me.
I looked at my surroundings and saw that I had somehow ended up in the gym restrained to the pull up bar with handcuffs with a pissed off Tank staring at me.
"Welcome back, boss."
Please R&R... i love reviews and any ideas or suggestions:)
