⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️
If you're sensitive to blood, and murder, please do not read the first part of the chapter.

Jessica: But I'll leave you in the hands of my husband.

Jackson's eyes widened.
Jessica is a beast, but Maverick is far more dangerous than her in the way he kills.

Jessica stood up and looked at her husband. Maverick looked at Jackson's face. Liam and Isabella lay on the floor, dead.

Jackson: Jessica, please. I promise I won't do anything to you, to your family, to your gang. Please spare me.

Jessica silently watched him beg. Maverick pulled Jackson up by the collar of his shirt and made him sit on the chair. His men entered the foyer and tied his hands and legs and tied his neck to a nearby pillar such that he faced the ceiling.

Jessica: Sophia, take Laura away. Ian needs her.

Laura: Jessica... Ian's fine.

Jessica: Please. Ian needs you, Laura.

She gave in as she knew how persistent Jessica was. Sophia took her away. The other members went inside the foyer except for Daniel and Ryan. They stood outside with the other men of the gang.

Maverick took out a pocket knife.

Jackson: Please...!
Jackson's voice was low yet he sounded desperate.

Maverick brought the knife close to his neck. He inserted it into his skin and Jackson screamed as the sharp edge pierced his skin. Maverick started to peel his skin and Jackson screamed. Maverick skinned him till he peeled off his entire neck. Blood covered his entire neck and it was flowing down his chest.

Jackson was groaning silently in pain and his eyes were asking for forgiveness. Maverick knew skinning him would make him beg for forgiveness, but won't kill him. He wanted Jackson to face the consequences of hurting his son, of hurting his wife.

Mark: Pass me the ingredients, Love.

Jessica went to the kitchen and brought salt and chilli powder. She sprinkled them on Jackson's skinned neck, who had his mouth open but there was no sound coming out. Jackson felt like dying yet he was suffering as if he was thrown into a fire.

Once Jessica was satisfied, Maverick took out his gun and put it inside Jackson's mouth.

Mark: This is for saying that DDIA will always be there

Jackson's eyes widened. He muffled some noises but no one would hear his screams.

*BANG*

The damage was done. Blood splashed on Maverick's suit, the wall behind, and the floor. And this way, Jackson was killed mercilessly.

But it's not done yet...

Maverick pointed the gun at Jackson's head.

Mark: And this is for that shitty brain that planned to demolish my empire, my family, and my wife.

He shot him in his head, finally bringing it to an end. Jessica stood there watching the dead body of her favorite senior.

She felt sad about the way he was killed but she couldn't bring herself to stop what Maverick did. Jackson deserved it. He shouldn't have betrayed them and now he had to suffer this way.

_____________

Jessica went out of The Bella. The men of Born Titans were ordered to remove the bodies and seal the house forever. Maverick followed her to the car.

Jessica: Is Kai okay?

Mark: You won't believe what he did. He used a gun and hurt the one who was guarding him

Jessica was stunned. She couldn't believe her ears.

Jessica: Are you serious?

Maverick sat in the driver's seat and waited for Jessica to get in. She took a deep breath and sat on the passenger's seat.

Mark: I need to get out of this suit. It's tainted.

Jessica looked at his suit.
Jessica: Sorry but I never thought you'd look hot with blood splattered on your suit.

Maverick ignored that and looked at Jessica.

Mark: Kai did that. I've never felt that proud.

Jessica looked at his face. His face was glowing with pride and she felt herself smiling. Maverick started the car and the rest of the members followed them in their respective cars.

____________

Pamela and Penelope were in Maverick's house along with Kai and Harry.

As soon as they heard the cars, Kai ran towards the door. He saw his parents running towards the door and ran towards them. Jessica saw her child and she knelt to pick him up in her arms. Kai hugged her tightly and buried his face into her neck.

Kai: I missed you, Mom!
Jessica's face reddened as she tried hard not to shed a tear. They had risked the kidnapping and she couldn't feel at ease after she heard that Kai was abducted. She was always worried about him.

Jessica: I'm sorry dear.

She heard Kai sniff and she patted him on the back. It was night and Jessica didn't want Kai to stay awake any longer. She put him down and Kai went to Maverick. Maverick kissed his forehead and patted him. Kai was smiling. He looked just like his father.

Jessica entered the house. Maverick, with Kai in his arms, Daniel, and Ryan followed her.

Pamela: That was awesome, girl!

Jessica: Thank you so much, Pam. Penny, I don't know how to thank you all.

Penelope: Stop being so modest, Jessica. We are a family. And there's good news.

Jessica was fully attentive to knowing what the news was. Kai got down and went to Harry.

Pamela: Mia and Albus are officially the parents of a baby girl!

Jessica covered her mouth. She had forgotten about Mia's delivery in the whole process.

Jessica: Really? Are they alright?
She looked at Kai and smiled.
Kai: You're a big brother now...

Kai was jumping with joy along with Harry.

Penelope: Yes. Both mother and child are okay. And guess what?

Ryan: Albus proposed to Mia.

Daniel: And she accepted it!

Jessica didn't know how to react. After so much tension, she received two good news.

Jessica: We need to go to the hospital tomorrow! I can't wait to see them! And once they're married, we'll have a grand dinner together!

Everyone agreed and they left except Ryan. Jessica turned around and saw the two men sitting on the couch.

Mark: Well, Ryan wants to talk to you.

Jessica looked at Kai.
Kai: Dear, it's quite late. You need to sleep now.

Kai nodded. They went to his bedroom and Jessica tugged him onto the bed. She came back but Maverick wasn't there. Ryan pointed upwards and Jessica nodded.

Ryan: I'm sorry

Jessica sat down next to him.

Jessica: Ryan, please don't be.

Ryan: I'm asking for forgiveness on behalf of Ashley. She had no choice, Jessica.

Jessica: I know, Ryan. And I don't blame anyone. And I would like you to keep a request.

Ryan sat straight and looked into Jessica's eyes.

Jessica: Go on a date with Ashley. She loves you and I know that you love her too. You two deserve each other. Please...

Ryan didn't say anything. He stood up and walked to the door.

Ryan: Thank you, Jessica.

Jessica stood up and went to him. She hugged him.

Jessica: You deserve her, Ryan. I know we've been through this phase but it didn't work. There was a time when we loved each other. Maybe we weren't destined to be together. I found my happiness and now it's time for you to reach that happiness that you found. And I can tell, you'll live happily with her.

Jessica pulled apart and looked at Ryan. He smiled.

Ryan: You have a heart of gold. Thank for you everything.

Ryan left the house and Jessica closed the door. She smiled and took a deep breath. She walked towards the stairs. Midway, she looked up and saw Maverick watching her.

Did he hear everything she said...? Ryan and her being together in the past...?
