His hold on Sophia releases, and she backs away, but right now all I can think about doing is protecting us. I’m so done with this shitty life. I keep stabbing and jabbing him with the knife until he falls to his knees, and gurgles. Leaving the knife in his throat I get as far away from him as possible, and it’s then I feel all the pain in my body and get dizzy. My adrenaline wears off as the full pain and brunt of his assault hits me all over again.
“Mom, I called for help, it’s going to be okay,” my sweet little girl tells me, running to me. I can’t handle it right now and fall to my knees. I’m bleeding everywhere, hell, I don’t even know where the blood is coming from anymore. Pain grips my stomach, and I fall to the floor on my face, and my world goes dark as Sophia screams for help.
Chapter 15
Grady
“Fuck!” I hear Prez roar from somewhere in the clubhouse.
Quick banging at my door has me jumping outta bed and the whore I fucked last night falls to the floor. “Ow, the hell?” she slurs rubbing her head.
“Prospect, church, now. Shit’s gone down,” Gremlin calls out as I zip up my pants.
I jog down the hall and into church. Every damn member is here today, the room is packed. The fuck happened?
I take my place against the back wall, with the other prospects as the members find their seats. Prez is pacing the room like a caged animal.
“We need a huge clean up detail. My daughter, fuck.”
I frown, “Susan?” I speak up.
“No, Nikki. My other daughter!” He shouts as he punches a hole in the wall. I look at the brothers in the room with confusion, I never heard of no other daughter, but they all seem to understand. I wonder if Susan knows this shit, and if she did, why didn’t she tell me?
“She’s my youngest daughter, but middle child. She ran away when she was eighteen, it’s been almost twelve years now, and we finally fuckin’ found her. Except it’s worse than I ever thought. I thought maybe she was dead. No, she’s married to fuckin’ Tricky.”
That comes as a blow to my stomach, I fucked that bitch not having a clue that I was banging another one of Prez’ kids. Well fuck me, always dreamt of fucking sisters. I look down at my dick as it tries to raise up. Calm down big guy, we’ll fuck Nikki again soon.
“Why do we need clean up? We’re goin’ as fast as we can with getting rid of the bastard.”
“It’s worse than we thought. He’s been raping my daughter for years, beating her, raping and beating other women in front of her. Fuck, he’s already got a bid out for his own daughter, that once she starts bleeding, she’ll be earning money. Right now, a buyer has a bid out for her virginity at eighty fuckin’ grand,” Prez says, his voice choking up.
Rico speaks up, “That’s some bullshit, fuck our plan, let’s end him now.” He pounds his fist on the table. Prez patched him into the club. Shit really grinded my gears. I shoulda been the one getting the Jacks Devil mark on my arm.
“It’s already done. Tricky’s brother is a fuckin’ cop in that town. Last night Tricky’s beatin’ on Nikki went too far, she was pregnant, wasn’t his kid, he found out. Almost killed her. Sophia, that’s my grandbaby’s name, heard her mother screaming, and went to go to her. Tricky then turned on the kid. Nikki grabbed a knife and killed him. Neighbors called the cops, said normally they keep outta it, but it was worse than ever before.”
Seeing Prez choked up has my stomach turning. But what he said about Nikki bein’ pregnant, well fuck me. That was probably my kid. Rage sp
ikes through my veins. Nikki had my fuckin’ number, she didn’t bother to call and tell me I was having a kid? Was that Goddamned cunt gonna keep it from me? I’ll demand answers when I see her again.
I rub my temples as a tension headache takes hold of me.
Fuck me.
I got sisters knocked up.
Prez is gonna kill me.
Chapter 16
Cruiz
The room is buzzing, excitement that we’ve finally found Nikki, anger over what’s gone down. Me, I feel relief. The prospect, Grady, is clenching his fists, and if he does it any harder, he’ll draw blood. My eyes narrow on him, does he know Nikki? I hope to fuck not. He’s a lowly prospect, Nikki’s mine.
I fucked up so bad twelve years ago. We grew up together, eventually fell in love, and when she finally turned sixteen, we became an official couple. She slowly changed, she was always smiling and full of energy, but once she moved in with Happy’s legal family after her mom died, she was different. I was becoming frustrated as fuck, constantly hard with the worst case of blue balls. Nikki was constantly teasing my dick and making me beg for it. She never would put out though. Kept saying she was saving herself. Losing her was my biggest regret.
Happy’s bitch daughter, Susan, had been flirting with me for years, but I always brushed her off. One night though, the night of Nikki’s eighteenth birthday, she still wouldn’t put out. I got drunk, though it isn’t any excuse for what I did. I fucked Susan. The second I came inside the bitch, Nikki burst through the door, tears in her eyes, and ran off. The was the last time any of us saw her. That image burned into me—the look of hurt she wore as she fled the scene of betrayal. Her face has haunted me every single day since. I see her face on every bitch I fuck. No one has ever come close to replacing her for me. She was the love of my life.
Susan was happy as a pig in shit that Nikki walked in on us. Bitch was gloating and I snapped. I’d never hit a woman before but punching her in the face and threatening to kill her was my weak moment, and something I still don’t regret. I lost Nikki. Fucking Susan ruined my life. One weak moment changed everything. Destroyed what I cherished more than anything.
