Mason pov When she thanks me for saving her, I feel even more angry. How dare that bastard lay his filthy arms on my woman? I don't care if she has not said yes to me. She is mine and only I have the right to touch her. ItsIt'sa good thing I arrived before he could violate her. God knows he would be dead by now if Hera didn't plead with me to leave him alive. The anger I'm feeling right now is unlike anything I've ever felt before. It is so intense, I think it can be tasted in the air. Hera, I'm looking at her from the corner of my eye, I don't say anything, just keep driving to her home. At this point, I don't even care if she accuses me of stalking her because that's exactly how I knew where she lives. She doesn't seem to realize that either probably from how shaken she is from escaping being raped. I pull off at the entrance of her house and kill the engine. Only then do I turn to look at her. I open my mouth to say something, only that nothing comes out of my mouth. I don't
Hera POV I pace around the room anxiously. I don't know how many times I have checked my phone to track the time Mason has been gone. I have a gnawing feeling that Davis is going to be in deep shit if Mason went back to deal with him.Don't get me wrong,I am not worried about that mother fucking asshole. I just don't want Mason to get in trouble for killing someone. That's what he was about to do when I stopped him. I don't even know why I am worried about him considering he is a liar and a bastard as I called him the last time at the club. I just know that it will pain me if something happens to him because of me. Yes, that's it. I just don't want to see him in deep shit for helping me.After what feels like forever,the sound of a roaring engine reaches my ears and I sprint outside the house just in time for my car to pull off at the driveway. I am beside him when he exits the car." Are you alright?" I ask,my eyes scanning his body." Why wouldn't I be fine?" Mason asks,his gaze in
Hera I make my way to the hospital where Davis is admitted. After Mason left yesterday,I made a few calls and managed to locate him. Today,I have a mission to accomplish. I am not going to allow anyone to walk all over me, not again. I should have stopped him when he started harassing me. Maybe things wouldn't have escalated to this point. Today,I have to make amends for that. As I approach his ward,I recognize Justin standing outside, pacing around. A grin breaks on my face as I approach him. " Hera,is this really a good idea?" He whines immediately when I reach him. He has a worried expression on his face. " Relax. Why won't it be a good idea! An eye for an eye, remember?" Carlos doesn't look convinced, "Why don't we ask the girls to take care of it? They are best at what they do." Justin proposes. I shake my head in refusal. " The girls have been busy lately. Let's not bother them with this kind of thing. I can handle it on my own." I state firmly. I pat his shou
Hera POV Mason's words are still ringing in my ears. He said I am the first woman to sit on his ride. I don't even know why the thought of it makes me happy. I shouldn't believe him but why am I inclined to trusting his words? He is an attractive man, the kind ladies would willingly drop their panties and bend over to be fucked by him. Everything about him screams bad boy,the kind that have a long line of beauties waiting to offer themselves to him. And me? I am just a fat bitch as they call me. There's nothing special about him, especially not for a man of his caliber. ' Come on Hera, don't kid yourself. He can't possibly mean that. You can't listen to his sweet nothings.'My mind is telling me not to trust him, but my heart is saying otherwise. I feel safe when I'm with him. He has this aura that exudes confidence, power, and charisma. He protected me against being defiled by that asshole. " A penny for your thoughts?" Mason inquires. " You have been awfully quiet since we left y
The smile on my face faltered and I watched as the lady walked away without sparing me another glance. Did she just threaten me to stay away from her man? My eyes narrowed at her and a glint flickered in my eyes." Hera, right?" Another lady approached me, stretching her hands for a handshake. I took her hand,nodded and offered her a polite smile." It's nice to meet you. I am Raven." She said before turning to look at the direction the blonde girl from before disappeared into. " Ignore Fiona. She is just being a bitch." Raven informed me and I nodded. Yeah, I could already tell that she is one nasty bitch. " I have a feeling you and I are gonna be the best of friends. " Raven added and I forced a smile. I could tell that she was a nice person if she was not just pretending. " Do you want to take a look at the farmhouse? " Raven inquired and I nodded. " Of course. Anything to leave behind this tense environment. " I whispered and she giggled, dragging me by hand. Raven led me outs
Mason pov I watch with satisfaction as Helen's eyes widen dramatically. " I don't know what you are talking about." Helen looks away, unable to meet my gaze. I scoff at her words. " Of course you don't. You have kept your secret too well. You never expected anyone to discover." I said, laughing. " Nothing under the sun can be kept hidden forever, Helen. I don't know how you managed to fool your husband into believing she is your niece. I bet he won't appreciate knowing that you have been lying to him for years. "Helen looks at me. There is fear in her eyes, but she is also angry. She is not as calm and poised as she wants everyone to believe. She is a mess underneath that facade." What do you want? "" Nothing much. Just stay the fuck away from my life and we won't have any issues." I declare before leaving the office. The boys are busy playing . Jepoy walks to me when he notices me. His brows shoot up questioningly. " What does the mistress want?" Jepoy asks and I shrug. " No
Hera povMy lips curl upwards in a smile. " Are you accusing me?" I ask and Mason Chuckles, his deep rich masculine voice brushing against my skin like silk." I don't know Hera. That's why I am asking you." He answers.I tilt my head. He definately knows I kissed him to irk that bitch Fiona. " I don't like being threatened." I reply, my fingers grazing his well trimmed beard. " She happened to warn me to stay away from you so I wanted to know what would become of me if I didn't." I smile, my eyes twinkling mischievously.He laughs, his eyes shining with mirth." You are defiant. I like it." Mason whispers seductively. " Careful what you wish for. I am not a biker but I am not a good girl either." I caution him. Mason grins at me, " I like them bad, Hera." He whispers, leaning closer and I feel my breath catch. His hand moves to the nape of my neck and he pulls me towards him. My body is pressed against his, oneif his hands going around my waist. His lips are inches away from mi
HeraI smile at Lily's antics. " Do you need to ask? You always fool me." Mason replies and Lily bursts out laughing. She throws herself into Mason's arms and he twirls her around. I watch as the father and daughter duo embrace and my heart squeezes.Seeing them sends my mind to when my father was still alive. He used to carry me around, calling me his precious little princess. He is the only person who treated me like I was the most important person in his life. Things changed after he passed away when I was twelve. The happy and free spirited Hera disappeared with his death. My mother prefers my sister over me, the fatso. She would call me all sorts of names. At first it hurt, until it didn't anymore or at least that's what I wanted to believe. Seeing Mason play happily with his daughter warms my heart. " Sweetheart, I want you to meet my friend. " Mason says, setting Lily down who is surveying me with cautious eyes. "Hi Lily. I am Hera and I am excited to be your new friend. "
Hera POV My mother's words are like a hard punch delivered straight into my guts. My stomach twists and my chest tightens. I find myself laughing out of bitterness." Finally mom, you've said the words that you have kept buried deep inside you. You finally confessed how you feel about me." I say,a tear slipping past my eyes." Since I am nothing but a mistake, I'll not show my face in front of you anymore. I'll leave and you can finally be with the one you consider your perfect daughter." I announce. There's no sign of remorse on my mother's face. Quite the contrary, she looks at me with so much indifference." Don't exaggerate and make a big deal out of nothing." She scoffs." You think I am exaggerating? That I am making a big deal out of nothing? So you calling me a mistake and wishing I was never born is okay? I am not allowed to react?" I ask incredulously." If you behaved like a proper woman and avoided embarrassing me,do you think I would have been pushed to say that?" She c
Hera POV I chuckle at Nyx's words. Deep down,I pray she gets to change her mind someday. She has gone through so much in life and deserves to be happy." Now that you are here,book me a flight to Las Vegas in an hour." I inform her. Nyx narrows her eyes at me after hearing my words." Is this about..." She doesn't get to finish before I shake my head." I don't give a flying fuck about that bastard or what happens to his body. They can throw it in the ocean for all I care." I reply, disgusted.Carlos made his bed when he decided to join hands with Hector to commit evil. Let him lie on it. How his family comes to learn about him passing away is none of my freaking business." Chloe called me last night. She sounded...weird." I say, recalling how different she sounded. She was nothing like the Chloe I have always known. It sounded like she was in some kind of trouble." Alright. I'll do that right away." Nyx replies and leaves the room. I am left alone in my space. Going to Vegas shoul
Hera POV Justin and I manage to escape in time. As the engine roars in life leaving behind a trail of smoke,I can't help but smile to myself how I managed to fool Hector's security. Those damn fools." I assume you guys had a serious talk?" Justin asks,staring at me via the rearview mirror. I can feel the sarcasm in his words. After the commotion that happened at the club,I don't expect him to assume Hector and I just...talked."The job had to be done somehow, Justin. It's the best way to protect those girls." I reply with a sigh. I look outside the window. As much as Justin believes that violence can't solve everything,he also knows that only violence can solve some things. He doesn't say anything else and neither do I. We drive in silence. Justin drives me at the club entrance." Is there anything you need from me?" He asks and I nod. " I need all data about our presence at that club erased."Justin grins at me, " already did."" Thanks,justin. You are the best." I say as I get
Hera You paid thousands for your life to be taken,fool. That's what I want to scream at him and mock his stupidity, but this isn't the time. I keep my gaze glued to the floor and say nothing." Leave from here and get me my regular type of toy." Hector screams at me. I turn around to leave and draft a different way to get to him. But before I can make my exit,his voice booms through the room." On second thought,stay and entertain me tonight. I want to find out why that bastard is stupidly chasing after a fat bitch." Hector spats. By bastard,he must mean Carlos since the two of them have been in cahoots.I smile to myself,happy that his curiosity just gave me the opportunity to strike him. I walk back to the center of the room and grip the pole." Hera,you can do this. It's just dancing after all." I try to convince myself as I start swaying my body to the beat. Hector is perched on the sofa with a glass of scotch in hand,sipping leisurely.Stupid assed mafias, thinking that drinking
Hera pov" You are quite inquisitive huh?" Shadow comments. " It's okay. He is going to tell no one after all." I reply, all smiles. "My man is indeed ruthless but you don't expect any less from the leader of killer Angels, do you?" The horrified expression on Carlos' face gives me undiluted pleasure. " You are... the infamous MG? " Carlos stutters. " Surprised right? We had the same expression when we discovered her identity. She doesn't look the part, right? " Raven jabs him. Carlos is too shocked to say shit, not like I expect him to say anything. " A life for a life you bastard. I'll let your blood appease our lost comrade. " Shadow whispers into his ears. The fear in his eyes is so delicious, it's giving me a high." Don't worry, Hector will soon follow you to hell. You two can reunite there and continue scheming." I taunt him and prepare to leave." You bitch! You won't get away with this." He curses at me."Watch me do exactly that." I spat and turn around to walk away.
Hera POV I call sick at the clinic. With all the danger following behind me,I can't expose myself. I really don't know if my identity has been discovered but just as Nyx told me,it's better to be careful than sorry.I am listening to Nyx report everything they uncovered with sulphur. The attack at my house was intentional. It was a warning or something but for what exactly? I can't put my finger on the reason why my car was bombed alongside mason's own bike. I have considered Mason being the one they were after but from the footage the girls retrieved,I was the target." We were able to locate Hector's hideout." Nyx declares and that revelation captures my undivided attention." Where?" I ask and Nyx offers me a printed map. I scan my eyes through the map and I can't help but muse at his well thought hiding spot." Not too far from the club odyssey. It's no wonder he hit them so hard." I comment. Nyx knows about the club odyssey being part of shadow riders since I asked her to inves
HeraAfter Mason falls asleep, I quietly leave the room and make my way to what used to be the living room. Hector and his gang of thugs managed to do some damage to the clubhouse. Although it's not fully torched, the damaged area will need massive renovation. The crew is busy cleaning the mess. I don't bother to acknowledge them as I make my way to where Nyx is waiting for me. My work here is done. Mason is home safe and his wounds tended toWe are about to leave when someone calls from behind me. I turn around to see Raven approaching us. My expressions remain neutral as she makes her way to us and stands a metre away from me. " Are you leaving? " She asks and I nod. " Look Hera, about what happened... " She starts but I dismiss her with a wave of my hand. " It's nothing. I don't want to talk about it. "" I know you don't want to talk about it but I insist. I want you to know that I am sorry for not standing up for you before the others. You are... "" A stranger? I know that.
Carlos POV “ You messed up the damn operation you fool! You had one simple task,shoot to kill but look what happened! We lost all our men” Hector snarls at me, his eyes red with anger.“ Don't you dare accuse me of messing things up. It was your idea to make a grand entrance. I insisted on sneaking an attack and you said it was not satisfying.” I snarl back at him. The nerve of this mother-fucker to accuse me of screwing an operation we planned for so many days.“ Oh really? Then why did you eliminate all the men we took when we retreated?” He asks and I fight the urge to throw a snide remark at him. I mean,how is he a member of the Luca family if he doesn't know even the most basic rules of a failed assassination mission.“ Don't give me that look.” He glares at me.“The men had to die. Leaving them alive in the hands of the enemy is like offering free information about us. It had to be done.” I answer and he nods.“ That makes sense.” Of course it does.“ I don't care how you do i
Mason POV " I can take care of myself," That's all I hear before the sound of gunshots fill the air .I duck below the window and turn to look at Hera who was already taking cover by the side of the bed.We wait,listening for any movement but get none. Then the sound of a loud explosion follows before an engine roars and tires screech on the gravel driveway.I stand up and look out the window and notice a van speeding away. I turn around to see Hera walking to the door,a Beretta in her hand." Stay here, I'll go check downstairs." I informed her but she just glared at me and proceeded to leave the room.I follow behind her closely, not sure what to expect. Outside,I stand rooted in place,my fists clenched. Hera turns to look at me,her face unreadable." Someone seemed to have taken a liking to your machine." She comments" It's such a waste to destroy it. I really loved it." She adds casually." I told you it's not safe here." I say through gritted teeth.She looks at me then walks ov
