SOPHIE's POV.

My alarm goes off to signal me for my shift at the Desert Rose, my mind still on what Maya was able to recover from the corrupted file. I pondered while my hand wandered aimlessly for what I would wear to my shift.

I pulled on a pair of faded jeans and a top, I moved to the table to brush out my hair. The motion of a brush moving through my locks was a sort of calming exercise. My mind went to Blade. He hasn't sent a word to me since he left abruptly after the rally with no explan

  • Chrome and lies: A Bikers Betrayal   chapter 28

    Sophia's POV This wasn't what I had expected. This wasn't part of my plan, but I let the blade lead me nevertheless, to the back of the main compound. The floorboards creaked beneath my boots, a low, groaning complaint that matched the uneasy flutter in my chest. If you had told me yesterday or even three hours ago when that call arrived that I’d be standing here, I would have laughed. This wasn’t the plan. It wasn't even on the radar. The walls were bare, the paint peeling slightly at the corners like old parchment, and the window looked out over an alleyway that offered nothing but brick and grey sky. "It’s not much," he said, clearing his throat. He rubbed the back of his neck, his fingers catching on the collar of his shirt as he gestured to the space. "But it’ll do." I watched him as he moved through the room. There was a vulnerability in the way he braced his shoulders, a quiet telling that he was trying and failing to hide. He pointed out the radiator that hissed like an a

    Blade's pov The phone on my desk vibrated, a low, buzzing scrape against the mahogany that sounded exactly like a countdown. I didn't answer it on the first ring. Or the second. I let it sweat. My hand hovered over the receiver, fingers twitching near the hidden holster beneath my jacket. I knew who this was. It had to be Venom. Only Venom had the audacity to breach my private line. I had spent the last forty-eight hours bracing for his voice, that raspy, nicotine-stained growl promising a slow death. I settled my breathing, put on my coldest, most unshakable mask, and picked up. There was a brief, crackling pause on the line. "Hello" The voice that answered wasn't what I expected. My pulse skipped a beat. The voice didn't belong to Venom. It didn't belong to any of his thugs, either. It was a man's voice, but it wasn't frantic, angry, or laced with the adrenaline of a confrontation. It was utterly, terrifyingly calm. It had a smooth, modulated cadence of calculated power, some

  • Chrome and lies: A Bikers Betrayal   chapter 26

    SOPHIA POV. I couldn't sleep well at all, my eyes felt so heavy as I dragged myself off my bed. I had to talk to Blade again today. Maya found out about disturbing information and I had to inform Blade. I looked towards my alarm clock, pretty sure no one would be awake by now except the motel cleaners. As I made my way to the bathroom, I thought about how this mission turned out, not how I expected. Who would have thought I would work together with a member of the club I was trying to bring down? As I brushed my teeth, I pulled out my phone and sent a message to Blade. NEW INFO, I AM COMING TO THE COMPOUND -SOPHIA. I dropped the phone on the bed as I went inside to take a shower, my head on alert for any notification sound. I came out drying my hair when my phone lit up with a message. I grabbed it quickly to see my message reply from Blade. UNDERSTOOD, WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU — B. I grinned widely, going to the wardrobe to see what I had to wear. I felt somewhat excited about

    Blade's povThe laptop sat on my desk with the file open, a yellow digital folder that held four years of someone’s life in sterile, black-inked rows. I didn't open it immediately. I let the silence of the darkened room fill me first, the city outside the room blurred into white noise.Success isn't about being the smartest person in the room, it’s about having the stomach to see the patterns others are too emotional to notice.I tapped the file open.My eyes skipped the headers and went straight to the columns. Data has a rhythm, and I could hear this one instantly. January 1st. February 1st. March 1st. I traced a finger down the dates. Most people look for the outliers, the big spends, the sudden spikes. I look for discipline. For forty-eight consecutive months, the deposit had hit the account with the mechanical precision of a heartbeat. Same routing number. Same The pattern was older than the initial four years I had expected. That was the detail that changed everything.​I spread

    Sophia's POVThe silence of my room was a weight I couldn’t shift. It sat on my chest, heavy and cold, while the digital clock on the bedside table bled a dull red glow into the room. 2:14 AM.I stared at the popcorn ceiling until the patterns began to shift like a math test. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Blade's files, the alleyway again. I saw Morrison my handler, my mentor, the man who’d pinned my shield to my jacket standing over a body that didn't belong in a morgue.It wasn't just the kill that kept me awake, him partaking in clearing away a life that was ever so promising. In this job, you expect blood. But it was the way he must have wiped his hands afterward, a casual, practiced motion, before picking up the radio to call in the "clean-up."The official report was already filed. It sat on a server at Washington, a polished lie stating that the victim, my brother Miguel, was a passerby shot in line of fire. But he was a witness. Handed over to venom to murder to silence h

  • Chrome and lies: A Bikers Betrayal   chapter 23

    Blade's povI shouldn't have let her go alone. What was I f**king thinking? I always knew Morrison was a dirty rat, but seeing Sophia's message on my phone further confirmed everything. F**king hell, I shouldn't have let her meet him at all.I considered calling her, but it might put her in danger. She said to trust her and I so wanted to do that, but for all I know, Morrison might harm her.I should have told her about Morrison sooner.My phone lit up with another notification from Sophia.NOT IN DANGER, SAFE-SOPHIA.I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. A knock sounded on my door as a voice called out"Hey Blade, dinner is ready. No one wants to wait for eternity for you. Hurry ur ass up.""Fine, I will be there," I answered back.I made my way into the hall where dinner was served. There were shouts of "finally" and I smiled as I walked towards the head table. Tank nodded as I took my place and we all started eating.The dinner plates had been cleared, but the heavy scent
