Chapter 21KirstyHe grabbed me by my face and kissed me. I searched every crevice of my brain to find a way how to get out of this. His hands slid down my dress, lifting it as he dragged them back up. My underwear was showing. He had me pressed against the kitchen cabinets, so I was trapped. He slipped down, his face only inches away from my underwear. He grabbed my legs, pulling them apart and holding them in place using the cupboards to his advantage. “Fuck me, look how fucking perfect your cunt is. You kept it perfect for me didn’t you baby?” His mouth watered. I felt like I was going to vomit. I could feel the Chinese food I had eaten only hours before, trying to force its way back up my oesophagus.I looked around the kitchen, looking for anything. There… That was my escape, my solution. My knife block sat on the counter only a few feet away from me. I wouldn’t be able to reach from here, I n

Chapter 23TankShe blacked out.We continued to watch as he pulled her out of her apartment by her feet. He couldn’t even fucking carry her. The cameras stilled until a few hours later when the cops entered. Ink grabbed his cell out of his pocket. “Holgate, it is definitely Mike something who has her, one of the men Jackson hired. You need to find out everything you can about him and quickly. She needs a doctor, she was stabbed twice in the apartment, fuck knows what else after he left.” Ink hung up after listening to Holgate’s response. “Holgate is going there now. He will call us back as soon as he finds out something. Jackson will talk, he sang like a fucking canary while he was here. We’ll find something soon enough. In the meantime, go and grab a shower and try to sleep. I’ll wake you as soon as he calls back.” “I’m not sleeping, I’m going to find her. He co

Chapter 25TankI couldn’t believe how strong Kirsty was. The doctor told us that she was paralyzed, and she took it in her stride. I couldn’t fucking keep my tears in. The guilt was too overwhelming. I fucked up so badly, sending her away. I should have kept her safe. How would she ever forgive me?The doctor left after telling Kirsty he will order some more tests now she was awake. “How long have I been here?” She asked. “A week.” Her eyes widened at the news, but again, my strong girl nodded and moved on. Taking it all in her stride. “What happened to Mike?” I growled at the sound of his voice. “Jail.” She nodded again and breathed a sigh of relief. “What happened? Did he bring me in to hospital?” What? I must have been confused because she continued. “I had convinced him to take me in. The last thing I remember was him punching me. I think it was b

Chapter 27TankI realized how much I had missed everyone being at the clubhouse. Kirsty was hanging out with Bella and Julia and cooing over Sammy. I wanted to kick myself after what happened before. We have enough going on at the moment but, seeing her holding Sammy just made me think about what it would be like if she was holding our child in her arms. We hadn’t talked about having kids. I told her I wanted them, but Kirst has never mentioned having children.Buzz came to join me at the bar. “Hey. How are you holding up?” he asked. “I’m fine.” I smiled. “You miss it don’t you?” he asked. I looked round at the clubhouse, seeing my brothers and the clubhouse again had hit me harder than I thought it would have, “I made the right choice.” I argued. “Yeah, I agree. You did. But do you ever think about coming home?” “All the time,” I admitted

Chapter 29TankWe had booked flights for the following day, I wanted us to start our lives together right away. I called Axel, asking him to pick us up at the airport. We would be staying for a few weeks now, until the wedding was here. As Kirsty was maid of honor, she needed to be there in the run up to the wedding. We hadn’t told anyone about our engagement yet, Kirsty didn’t want to tell anyone until Buzz and Julia were married first, she didn’t want to ‘steal their thunder’ as she said.They didn’t know she was walking either; we were going to tell them tonight at the clubhouse. She was still using her chair half the time. I wheeled her out of the airport and straight to where Axel was waiting. “Hey!” he called. “Hey man.” I replied, hugging him. “Hey Kirsty, how are you doin’ sweetheart?” he bent down, hugging my girl and kissing her on her cheek
