Part 71

Navo sat down in the visitor chair in front of my desk. I looked at him in surprise. It was 2 a.m. and he looked a little tired. I lifted the bottle of Scotch and he nodded his head. I filled a glass and handed it to him, my own still untouched.“Something on your mind, Navo?”“I checked into Alice, Kaelis’ cousin.”I clenched my jaw. I hadn’t asked him to do that and I wondered, briefly, if there was something else going on that I didn’t know about. Navo was elusive, and half of the time, I had no idea where he was.“You and Kaelis …”He shook his head. “No. Not something for you to worry about. I do check on her from time to time, especially when she’s had a bad week at work. She still needs to eat. What I feel for Kaelis is what I feel for my sister. I’m not a threat.”“So, why the interest in her cousin?”“Kaelis’ parents had a trust in place, money was paid out monthly to Fred and Mitzy Montgomery for Kaelis’ care, even a policy that paid out for further studies. I doubt she ever

Part 72

It was 8 a.m. when I parked my car in the motel parking lot. Navo had confirmed that she was still living there, cleaning the other rooms as payment. I sat in my car for a few minutes, taking deep breaths, because I didn’t want to knock on her door and have this conversation with her.Five minutes later, I knocked on her door. I could hear shuffling from the inside and then the door was opened. “What do you want?”“We need to talk,” I said.She shook her head. “I don’t particularly feel like being called a whore today. I’ve had a long night, Saint. I’m tired and I’m—”I pushed past her, stepping inside the room and she sighed. She closed the door and leaned against it, crossing her arms over her chest. I stuck my hands in my pockets, afraid that I’d reach out and touch her, which was the last thing I wanted to do.“You’re pregnant,” I said.Her mouth opened and her eyes widened in shock. “How do you even know that?”“It doesn’t matter how I know. Do you know how far along you are?”“I

Part 73

Honor smiled as she looked at the nursery. They’d settled on light grey walls. One wall was dedicated to bikes, since James insisted his daughter would know everything there was to know and the other wall was painted in a beautiful forest motif. She felt calm just looking at it. James kissed the side of her neck. “It’s perfect. If we put anything else in here, there won’t be room for her.”She winced, the pain started as a dull tightening in her belly. She breathed through it, but then it came again. Sharper. Lower. It went through to her back and her face contorted in pain.“What’s wrong?” The look of worry on James’ face was instant.A warm gush spilled down her legs. They both looked down. It was blood, soaking her sweatpants. Too much blood.“Fuck,” James said, already scooping her into his arms and rushing downstairs. A distant memory of his stepmother going into early labor flashed through his mind. They’d lost them both that day, Jenna and his baby sister. Wrath never really r

Part 74

Amalia Vittori Knight was laid to rest a week later. The coffin was tiny, custom made, and a hundred bikes followed the hearse to the cemetery. The rumble of their engines filled the quiet day, but it was beautiful. It was a somber affair, saying goodbye to someone you’d never met before. Honor was still raw with grief and I could see it in James’ eyes as well.Dominic and Rafaella arrived the day Honor was discharged from the hospital and was staying at their house. I knew they wouldn’t leave her until things were better for her. She cried more when she saw them, especially when Dominic wrapped himself around her.It was hard to watch them, knowing that soon I might have to tell her that Kaelis was pregnant with my child. It would make her bleed all over again, the blood of a heart breaking on the inside. I hated seeing my sister in so much pain.The ceremony was short, but beautiful and emotionally gut-wrenching. Preach, one of the bikers from the club, delivered a sermon that had m

Part 75

We were seated in a far corner, a table that seemed tucked away in an alcove, away from prying eyes and other diners. I didn’t need anybody else to overhear what we had to discuss. I’d been making peace with this all week long, but it was time that she knew what would happen.We ordered drinks and our food and for a moment, I wasn’t sure what to say to her. Our drinks arrived, and I waited patiently as the waitress set them down on the table. Kaelis fiddled with her straw, then with the hem of her hoodie.“I don’t have the energy to fight, Saint, so if that’s what you want to do—”“I don’t want to fight,” I said. “I’m pretty certain that the baby is mine. Call it a gut feeling or whatever, but I know that test is going to back and confirm it.”“Okay, let’s say you're right about that. It doesn’t change anything. You hate me and—”“I don’t hate you. I hate what you did, but not you. I hate the position it left me in and everything that happened after that. That’s what I hate.”She took

Part 76

Kaelis wasn’t very happy about sharing a room with me again. She made it clear by not unpacking, telling me it would be easier for her to leave again once the test results came in. I felt conflicted. I’d lied to her. I was 23. I wasn’t ready to be a father, not now when she loathed my existence. Had I really been ready two months earlier when I still believed we would last forever? I’d obviously been delusional, either by the constant sex or the happy hormones my brain released.Someone knocked on the door of my study and I sighed. “Come in.”The door opened and Arya closed it behind her again. “Is she back for good this time?”“Yes.”“Are you going to keep blaming her for what happened?” she asked.I placed my pen down on my desk and gave her a look. “How is that any of your business?”“I like Kaelis, I always have. I also understand how she thought she didn’t have any other choices. That man was in her face, giving her two options. She didn’t have time to pull her phone from her poc

Part 77

After that incident, I slid into bed at night long after she’d gone to sleep. I woke up early, showered, dressed and retreated downstairs. My anger kept simmering, but never reaching boiling point. I kept myself in check. She had options now and she still refused to quit her jobs, so I did the only thing I could. I sabotaged her everywhere.She was fired from both jobs within two days and she paced our bedroom like a caged animal. I didn’t feel bad about it, but that night, she pushed me to the brink of madness and I finally snapped. It didn’t end as either of us thought it would.I walked into our room, needing a shower after a long day. Kaelis was in the bathroom, a very tight, short dress on her body, molding to her shape. I stopped short as she swiped mascara over her lashes.“Where are you planning on going?”“The corner. It seems I can’t get a job in this town thanks to you,” she said.“The what?”“The corner, where I clearly belong as a whore and a poor person,” she spat out.M

Part 78

From the private airfield, she and Saint had been taken directly to Hargrove Town. She’d let Arya make most of the decisions purely because her stubbornness wouldn’t allow her to choose anything she might like. She wanted to push Saint and she had. The previous night was proof of that.The night they broke up had torn her apart, physically and emotionally. He had hurt her. She’d spotted for two days after the rough way he’d taken her. She had missed him, but the man she was marrying now, this wasn’t the Saint she fell in love with. The two SUVs pulled up to a guesthouse and everyone got out. Elias took her overnight bag, the garment bag with her wedding dress and her honeymoon suitcase Arya had packed. She hadn’t even checked what was in there; she didn’t care.“This is you,” Elias said, after he unlocked the door and carried her things inside.The room was beautiful, big and comfortable. “Thank you, Elias.”“You know, things always work out like it should.”She pursed her lips and n

Part 79

I stood in the front of the chapel and looked around. The decorations were beautiful but demure. It was a chapel after all and I liked that it wasn’t over the top. I realized with a start, as I looked at our guests, that not one single person was there for Kaelis. This was my family, my friends. She was all alone and it made me swallow past the lump in my throat.Giovanni Battista’s Pergolesi was playing softly in the background. I had to smile. He was one of my favorite composers. The chapel’s doors were opened and I straightened my shoulders. I almost chuckled. I had wondered where my father was and I was glad that she didn’t have to walk in alone. I could only imagine how overwhelmed she must be feeling.Dominic walked her down the aisle, her dress showing that she was still slightly underweight. She still looked beautiful, her features delicate and soft. I turned toward them when they reached the end of the aisle and Dominic stepped forward.“I have taken Kaelis Montgomery as a Vi

Part 80

A few hours later, we were on the jet heading to Mexico. It was only a four hour flight, but we all settled back. Kaelis was quiet but she didn’t say a word when I moved to the back of the jet and sat down. The men sat down across from her, keeping the conversation flowing.I checked emails and made final arrangements with Diego Santiago, my contact in Mexico. It’s why I chose the place for our honeymoon, so I could combine business with pleasure and sort out our mutual Suarez problem while I was there.It was twilight when we landed and I sent a quick text to Dominic to let him know that we had arrived safely. Then I opened our group chat.Saint: Just landed in Mexico. Don’t call me, Wilder.Niko: Enjoy the honeymoon.Elian: At least she’s already pregnant.Wilder: What do you mean, don’t call you? How can you gut me like that, SV? I expect good morning pictures of your naked chest.Niko: *grabs popcorn* I’m going to need it with this fuckfest going on.Elian: Wild thing, he’ll be to
