Flair POV

He came for me. My husband came for me. My heart was filling with joy, despite the tumultuous situation I was in. Grayson would never have come if he didn't have feelings for me. Knox and lan were there too. I could see them assessing the situation as Ronaldo frowned, trying to figure out why they had come, while Grayson's eyes were almost black as he took in Brady holding me to his body as a shield.

"Why would the Grants have come for such a lowly woman?" Ronaldo had asked.

"You don't know who you're holding that gun to, do you?" Knox asked, his lips twisting into a malicious grin as Ronaldo blinked at him "You stupid fool, we would never come for somebody that wasn't one of us" he continued smoothly as Ronaldo's hand faltered "So what does that tell you?" he continued viciously.

Ronaldo's eyes narrowed as he shot an uncertain glance towards me. "No" he breathed as he came to a conclusion "This couldn't possibly be the heiress nobody knows about," he said while Knox and lan gave a slow nod.

He knew he was in trouble. His hand was shaking. He had threatened the life of a Grant and he'd taken liberties with my person. Knox and lan were out for blood. Grayson's eyes never left mine as Brady kept a tight grip, an expression of nervousness coming over his face. "Boss, what do we do?" he asked tightly.

The tables had turned. Brady was intelligent enough to realize that. Grayson's eyes had narrowed. "You let my wife go," he said.

"So you can kill us," Ronaldo said scoffing "I don't think so."

He'd barely finished the sentence when there was the sound of a gun firing and a shot hit him in the knee, causing him to drop his gun. lan was fast, moving in, punching the man in the face, kicking out, and sending him to the ground, before kicking the gun away from him in a series of fast and effortless motions.

Knox looked at Brady. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way," he said with hard eyes "but either way, you lose." "I'm not going down for this, I only did what the boss ordered me to do" he blustered, while I struggled to breathe. "Is that why my sister is only wearing her underwear?" Knox said in a dangerous tone of voice "And why she's bruised all over?"

Brady gritted his teeth "I did what I was told" he repeated.

"Flair, I'm so sorry," Grayson said, clenching his fists "I failed you, I should have got here sooner, I should have..." he trailed off.

"You're here now," I told him quietly, trying to communicate with my eyes "That's all that matters."

But he didn't look convinced. There was such rage on his face as he eyed Brady, that I grew concerned he might make a reckless move that would harm the both of us. lan was standing still, observing Brady.

"There are three of us and only one of you. Your chances of getting out of this room, even with Flair as your hostage are nil. Our men are outside, waiting for you.

Her husband is ready to rip you to shreds" lan commented nonchalantly as Brady flinched "You could let Flair go and risk being taken alive or you could hurt her and die instantly, it's up to you" he suggested, his eyes going glacial as he eyed Brady.

There was one other alternative. Knox was staring at me as was Grayson. I stared at Knox and gave a subtle nod, letting him know he needed to be ready. Grayson looked confused. Knox winked at me. I took a deep breath and then swung my arm down, getting Brady in the privates, and then grabbed his arm, spinning it around as Knox leaped forward and sucker-punched him, causing him to howl as he sank to his knees.

"Ouch," he blubbered, grabbing at his privates, while Grayson grabbed for me "That was a lousy trick."

"Consider yourself lucky," Knox said coldly, before hitting him on the back of the head with the butt of his gun and sending Brady dropping to the floor unconscious, before glanced over at Ronaldo who had his arms on his head, lan pointing his gun at him and looking intently at his face.

"I surrender," Ronaldo said quickly.

There was a smirk on lan's face. "Now that you're caught red-handed and have nothing to lose you surrender?" lan said raising a brow "But I don't recall telling you that was an option?"

Grayson held me tight, while I began to sob on his shoulder. "That was a pretty neat trick you just did" he murmured, holding me and then glancing over my body with a look of concern "god, what did they do to you?" he whispered, kissing the top of my head and refusing to let go of me.

I looked over at lan and Ronaldo who was shaking violently. "He was going to let his man r**e me. He was videotaping it when you interrupted" I said softly, my voice shaking.

I will never forget the feel of Brady's hands on my body while I fought against him. The squeezing, the pinching, the feeling of being degraded while another man taped it, intending to send it to my husband. The feel of his cold slimy lips against mine while I tried not to gag and vomit. I shuddered trying not to cry, while Grayson gave a furious growl in response, that was echoed by Knox and lan.

"You son of a b***h" Knox said, walking over and staring hard at the man who trembled, "you think that we will let you get away with such a disgusting act? The world will be glad to be rid of a bastard such as you" he threatened.

"Flair, let me take you out of this room," Grayson said, stepping back and removing his jacket, wrapping it around me to keep me covered.

But there was an anger simmering inside of me. My blood was boiling now that I was no longer in danger. The man responsible for all of this was at my brother's mercy and I wanted to see him suffer. I wanted him to know the pain and what it felt like. I wanted him to feel helpless like I had been.

"I want to stay," I said numbly.

"Flair" Grayson tried again and I shook my head, staring at Ronaldo while lan and Knox merely nodded, not surprised by my stubbornness, nor inclined to order me to leave.

"Grayson, she has every right to stay," lan said "You might not come from this family, but treating Flair as though she's a delicate flower right now is not what she needs. What she needs is to know that this man is never going to be able to kidnap her ever again. That she's going to be safe from him. If you take her from the room now, she's never going to know that for sure" he said looking directly at my husband while I nodded in agreement.

"Stand him up," Knox said grabbing the pistol off lan and pointing it at Ronaldo.

lan grabbed the man who cursed as he was forced to put his weight on his bad leg in order to stand properly.

"Flair," Knox said, motioning to me "take the gun."

Grayson watched in shock as I walked forward and took the gun in shaking hands. I pointed it at Ronaldo. Knox began to beat Ronaldo up, punching him over and over again, in the head, the jaw, the chest, the ribs as we watched the man coughing and wheezing, crying out every so often in pain. It filled me with satisfaction. By the time Knox had finished Ronaldo's face was so bruised it was barely recognizable.

"I can't believe I'm watching this" Grayson murmured, making no attempt to stop my brothers.

lan stepped in and continually hoisted Ronaldo to his feet when he would have trouble standing.

Eventually, Ronaldo was too bruised and bleeding to stand and he lay on the floor, staring up at the ceiling coughing.

Knox reached back for the gun and I blankly gave it to him. "Flair if you don't want to see this part, you should go," he said softly.

Grayson went to take my hand but I shook my head. "No, I have to know," I said, wrapping my arms around my waist and staring desperately at Grayson "I won't sleep if I know he's still alive. I have to see" I begged.

lan's eyes slid to me and for a moment there was sympathy in his gaze and an apology. Knox stepped beside the man who licked his lips. "Please, have mercy" he whispered.

Knox gave a chilling laugh "Did you have mercy for our sister" he motioned to me "when your friend tried to rape her? Did she beg for him to stop?" he growled as Grayson stiffened.

Ronaldo went dead silent which was an answer as far as Knox was concerned. lan's eyes were steely as he nodded at his brother. Knox pointed the gun and Ronaldo's eyes widened as Knox shot him right in the privates. He screamed, the sound piercing the room. "For the attempted r**e," Knox said coldly and then pointed the gun at Ronaldo's head, shooting him.

Ronaldo went quiet, his body still. Blood pooled around his body. I stared in fascination, my body trembling violently. My brothers weren't finished. They walked over to Brady and woke him up. He barely had time to register what was happening before Knox shot him in the privates as well. He howled and screamed.

"If you survive, it's a lesson that you'll remember to never try and touch a woman against her will ever again," Knox said scornfully.

I didn't want the bastard to survive. Not after what he'd done. I grabbed the gun off Knox and shot Brady in the head, stunning everyone.

"f**k you" I spat out, beginning to cry as Grayson gently took the gun "I hate you" I screamed, beginning to lose my composure as I took in the dead bodies, my body beginning to feel cold "Damnit Grayson give me the gun back" I begged, as Knox took it and Grayson swept me up in his arms "I need it."

"No sweetheart" he murmured as I clutched at him in desperation, my eyes going back to the room as he began to head down the stairs "They're dead, you don't need the gun anymore" he whispered as I struggled to believe him.
