Restitution (The Edge of Darkness, #3)

by Leigh Rivers

“Do we know where the stepbrothers are?” Tobias asks Barry. “Or are you still being an incompetent dickhead?” Barry narrows his eyes. “You’re not exactly doing much, are you? You’re too busy staring at your ex-wife.”

I love the bickering trio even if they’re just a duo right now. They always have me in stitches 🤣

Stacey Rhodes. My girl. My anchor that sank to the bottom of the ocean without me.

“If we really have lost my brother, I won’t let him hurt you, even if that means taking a bullet for you.”

😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔

I just needed to apologise. You don’t have to ever forgive me, but I want you to know that if I had all the time in the world, I would spend it trying to win you back. I’d prove myself worthy of you, Stacey. Because there hasn’t been a day that’s passed where you haven’t kept me going. My love might not be enough for you, but it’s all I have left. I love you. I love you so fucking much that I want to live.”

Barry crouches down to Cassie’s corpse and checks her pulse. “She’s dead.” Tobias frowns like a child just kicked his shin. “Of course she’s dead. Are your eyes working? Her brain is splattered on the ground, you fucking idiot.” Barry mutters to himself then looks up at Kade’s dad. “I was just stating a fact.” “A useless fact,” he counters. “Any others? You want to tell me the sky is blue while you’re at it?”

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love Tobias so much

“I don’t give a fuck, Stacey. If you ever sneak away from me and risk getting yourself killed, I’ll kill you myself.” I narrow my eyes. “I’ll tell Lisa you’re threatening me.”

“Do you really need to keep hitting me? What are you getting out of being violent?”

“Joy,” Tobias replies, crossing his arms. “I like watching you bleed. I’ll enjoy it a whole lot more when I kill you.”

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 warm and fuzzies. I love Tobias even though he’s just scaring the sh-t out of him. He’d never take that honor from Stacey 🥰

“I won’t kill you,” he tells him in a bored tone. “I want you to live and know you can never see her beauty or touch her perfection. I want you to be helpless and unable to walk.” On the last word, he puts a bullet in Chris’s knee, and I close my eyes at the sound that comes from him.

🥰🥰🥰 how romantic

“I’ll leave your hearing, so I can tell you when I win her back, so you can hear her moaning my fucking name. When I marry her. When she births my fucking children. And guess what? I’ll have all of that. You won’t. Because Stacey Rhodes has been mine since the day I fucking met her.”

🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Tobias grunts and grabs Barry by the collar to pull him out, but he shrugs him off and scowls. “I’m able to take myself out, you barbaric wanker.”

🤣🤣🤣

“Hurt him with me, Freckles. Make him pay for ruining our lives.”

🥰🥰🥰 my power couple. I love them

In the nicest way possible, the girl is better off dead.

Barry looks around the room. “This is going to be horrible to clean up.” “What can I say? My son is an artist.” We all grimace. Tobias leans down and picks up the severed foot. “Think fast,” he says as he throws it at Barry’s face. He catches it automatically, then jumps back and drops it on the ground. “What the shit?”

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 my favorite scene

“If you fart in my face, I’ll tell Kade.”

🤣 I love them.

“I love you. Every broken part of me has loved you from the moment I met you.”

😭😭😭😭 and then he called her ‘Doctor’ again 💔💔💔💔

“They want a war?” he says. “Well let’s give them one.”

Freckles: Please don’t start vacuuming your curtains and freaking out again. I’m coming up now. I frown at the screen in confusion, then it clicks that my mum must’ve told her she walked in on me doing just that when Stacey was coming up when we were teens. The fucking traitor.

🤣
