Uno's Truth (Devils Rejects MC 5)

The call ends and I look at Melissa. “I’m sorry to do this right now, but I gotta go. Club business.”

“I understand. If you have to go…you have to go,” her soft voice says with a nervous tone.

I cup her cheek. “I’ll be back before you have time to miss me.”

“I doubt that, but Justin.” She hesitates. “I need you to promise me you’ll be careful.”

“Don’t worry a hair on that pretty head of yours, baby doll.”

I leave Melissa still warm in bed and fresh on my lips as I go downstairs to the party below to have a word with Hades. If we are going to jump on this, we need to act fast.

Only when I get back to the party Hades is rushing Sara to the hospital she’s gone into labor. Harley is dragging Reaper behind her, but I snag him around the collar of his cut. “We need to talk. Now.”

He nods, sending Harley on to the hospital without him.

Cupid and MaryAnn are already off to celebrate their honeymoon. That leaves me with Terror and Boogeyman. Cocky is off somewhere getting his dick sucked by one of the girls from the Cherry Room. I call an emergency meeting behind Hades’ back knowing I will have hell to pay for it later, but this has to happen tonight. I tell them everything Stephanie told me on the phone. Tiny has a daughter he has kept secret from everyone and he’s in the area visiting her at the private school she attends.

Boogeyman runs the information Stephanie gave me and it checks out.

“So, we’re in agreement?” I look around the table at all of their hard faces. They each nod that yes, we are doing this tonight.

Terror looks unsure, but he straps up with the rest of us.

We take one of the vans, so we can ride together and go in quiet. Taking Tiny down won’t be easy but tonight is the best shot we will ever get. If we fuck it up it means war but if we take him down, we will reap the rewards. The school is a three-hour drive south of the clubhouse in Georgia. His daughter is listed in the directory of the Waymand School For Girls under his mother's maiden name. I admit it was smart but not smart enough for Stephanie not to fuck the information out of him or that fucking guard she spoke of during our call.

We make it just before daylight to the address my ex-wife provided me with. Terror uses the security code she gave us, and we drive straight through the gate. There are two guards with him that Boogeyman and myself easily takeout in their sleep. Snapping their necks as they dreamed. Reaper owes a debt to his future father-in-law, Rebel Black, president of The Black Rebel Riders’ MC and he intends to deliver. He wants that man’s blessing, so he can marry his daughter, Harley. He will only get it if he brings the man Tiny Leone’s head. He moves up the stairs quietly with a katana strapped to his back. We move behind him, checking each room as we go. We find Tiny asleep in his bed. Reaper takes one step into the room and a floorboard creaks. Tiny stirs in his slumber unaware he is about to die, but he doesn’t wake. At least not until it is too late. I see his eyes blink open right as Reaper unsheaths his sword and with one swoop, the blade slashes through his neck, severing it from his body. His blood spills from his body. His eyes still wide open and staring blankly at us as Reaper goes to collect his proof.

“I expected him to at least put up a fight,” Boogeyman complains.

“Evil bastard like that it seems…I don’t know anticlimactic,” Terror agrees.

“Only you sick fucks would be disappointed about a quick execution,” I tell them with a shake of my head, and I catch movement in the corner of my eye. Hearing a noise, I turn to see what’s amiss. I thought we checked all the rooms. I hope his daughter isn’t witnessing the scene in this room. A group of scary outlaws putting her father’s severed head in a trash bag.

An older woman who is greying around her temples takes one look at me and says, “You,” then shoots. I take a step back as Terror pulls his gun and nails her with a bullet right between the eyes.

I look down, touching my hand to my chest. “She shot me, the old bitch fucking shot me.” Then I drop like a sack of potatoes.

Chapter 18

—Stephanie

“Will that be all, Mrs. Leone?” Carlos questions as he loads my bags in the back of the car.

I rub a hand over my stomach. “That’s everything. I can take it from here. Thank you for everything.” I touch his hand. “Without you I never would have gotten out of this house of terrors alive.”

“It was my pleasure. Tiny was a bastard who had it coming. He raped and killed my sister in front of me when I was just a kid. Then he brainwashed me into joining his ranks. I’ve wanted to see him suffer for a long time.”

I squeeze his hand again. “What will you do now?”

He shrugs and lifts the case of money I gave him. “Anything I want.”

“What about you? Any big plans?”

I cradle my baby bump. “I’m going home to reclaim what’s mine. To tell my ex-husband he is going to be a father after all.” I smile as I open the door to the black sedan and climb behind the driver’s seat. Tiny’s mother thought she terminated my pregnancy, but my baby is strong like his mother. I hid the pregnancy just long enough to make Tiny fall in love with me deep enough to marry me. The man was hard to break but I did it. I used my fake grief to unite us. I let him think he was the one who was seduc

ing me. I had everything to gain by marrying him. I studied his every move and earned every ounce of his trust and then I waited for the perfect opportunity to take him down with one phone call. I knew Justin wouldn’t let me down. The FBI questioned me for days about my husband's murder asking if I knew the names of his enemies, but I had made it this far and I wasn't about to crack then.

It seems Tiny’s body was missing its head once it was discovered by a housekeeper and his bitch mother got what she deserved too. I inherited everything and now, my baby and Justin's baby is next in line to rule the Leone Cartel. When I learned of his daughter I knew what I had to do. I was going to use the girl against him but then he found out I was still pregnant and when the doctor told him how far along I was he became furious and left. That's where Carlos came into play. He knew where Tiny was. He normally accompanied my bastard but oh so very dead husband on his trips, but as one of his most trusted men, he was left behind to make sure I didn't go anywhere. I suspect Tiny was going to move his daughter, afraid I would use her as a pawn against him, but it was the perfect opportunity for the Devils Rejects to come in and do what was needed.
