《Killer (The Satan Sniper's Motorcycle Club book 5)》


 Chapter 2 (Taylor)

    Chapter 2 (Taylor)


    The helicopter just dropped us off on the tarmac, Harlin and I were told to wait here, outside the


    helicopter. I kneel in front of my sister. We¡¯re waiting for the men in ck that saved us toe down


    from the helicopter. My hair is blowing all over the ce. I¡¯m so tired, but Harlin is panicking. We do not


    understand where we are and mommy didn¡¯t end up fetching us. Truth is, I don¡¯t think they are ever


    fetching us.


    ¡°I just wanna go home, Taylor. Why won¡¯t we go home to McKinney? I swear I¡¯ll eat spinach, please


    Taylor,¡± Harlin cries, her big blue eyes scared and I know that look. This isn¡¯t good.


    I grab her on the top of her arms and shake her, ¡°Harlin listen to me, you can¡¯t lose it now, you need to


    hang in there for a bit longer. If they see you go crazy they will separate us, do you understand?¡±


    She cries louder and I turn my head around to see the one maning from the ne.


    My attention snaps back to her and I shake her harder, ¡°You understand Harlin,¡± I snap at her the way


    daddy did when she got all weird. And she nods her head and looks at me before staring at the man


    The big muscr man is younger than the bald one and the old uncle with the beard. He has a long


    nose, and deeply burned skin. He was the only one who really spoke to us. He said we¡¯ll be safe. He


    talks funny like the people from Rico¡¯s Pizza shop. But I like him, I trust that he is telling us the truth, we


    will be safe.


    ¡°Come on, there¡¯s a car waiting for us. The rest of the guys would wait here,¡± The nice man says to us


    and I grab Harlin¡¯s hand.


    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Harlin asks as we follow him.


    ¡°Agent C.¡±


    ¡°That ain¡¯t your actual name,¡± I respond. Feeling a lot braver than I did 2 hours ago.


    We rush after him, my legs paining with each footfall I take. My stomach growls in hunger.


    We run down to the other side of the tarmac and the ce takes us to what looks like a school. We see


    the ck car with a man standing outside of it. He is even taller than Agent C.


    ¡°Come on,¡± Agent C says as he ushers us into the car with the tall man jumping in the driver''s seat. We


    rush so fast from there.


    We drive past a river and into a ce with big houses, like Mansions and castles everywhere. We drive


    up a long road and take the first right.


    Big, gold and ck gates block us from going anywhere further.


    ¡°This ce is enormous, Taylor,¡± Harlin expresses this with sticking her head out the window.


    ¡°Yeah,¡± The gates open and we go down a long driveway lit up with lights. We stop in front of the house


    where another man is waiting for us in a ck suit. He is older than my daddy.


    Agent C opens the door and Harlin grabs onto my hand as I get out of the car first. The ce looks so


    fancy that it is only then I realize how dirty we must look.


    The old man by the door smiles at us, his face is warm and he looks like a good man. Not like the ones


    by the restaurant.


    He takes out his hand, ¡°I¡¯m Marcus Bray, what do I call you lovelydies?¡±


    Harlin, forever the brave one takes his hand and smiles, ¡°I¡¯m Harlin and that¡¯s my sister Taylor.¡±


    He frowns but keeps his smile, looking from Harlin back to me.


    ¡°How Old Are You?¡±


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    ¡°I¡¯m 5 next week, Taylor¡¯s 8.¡±


    ¡°Wow, you are big girls. Why don¡¯t you go on inside, and if you run down the passage and knock on the


    door, you might just get Kevin up to make you some hot chocte? What do you say about that?¡± He


    smiles, and it is so big and honest that I get a little happy.


    Harlin takes my hand and we rush inside and down the long passageway, and knock on the door. A few


    secondster, a boy opens the door. He has dark blue eyes and messy long blonde hair that stands up


    in all directions. His top skin is bare, but I can see the lines on his face from sleep. He is wearing long


    blue track pants and is so tall.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± He asks us, and I can hear he is a Texas boy, which meant we weren¡¯t that far from


    home. I didn¡¯t like boys as yet. Harlin always teased me I would probably grow up liking girls. Maybe I


    would, but he looked somewhat alright, I guess.


    ¡°I¡¯m..¡± I begin


    ¡°We are visitors of Marcus Bray, he said we should knock on this door for chocte milkshake.¡± I frown


    at my sister¡¯s boisterous exnation, since I knew it was hot chocte and we weren¡¯t guest. We


    were¡­ No, I can¡¯t say it. Not until I know for sure.


    He folds his arms across his chest, ¡°Alright, but I should warn you, the milkshake machine is toast.¡± He


    walks past us and turns right.


    ¡°I think we should follow him,¡± Harlin mumbles, tugging my hand.


    ¡°Why did you lie?¡± I ask her as we follow his direction.


    ¡°He could be the helps son.¡± I roll my eyes at that one.


    ¡°I highly doubt that.¡±

 Chapter 3 (Marcus Bray)

    Chapter 3 (Marcus Bray)


    Marcus Bray


    ¡°Did you tell the others to leave?¡± He asks Agent C, as they head into his home office.


    ¡°Yes sir, and as ordered, I wiped all traces clean. I pulled up the children¡¯s profiles, there¡¯s something


    you should see sir.¡±


    Marcus closes the door, knowing Kevin would take care of the two girls without waking up the entire


    household. And then the boy and he would have a talk. He still couldn¡¯t understand why Kevin


    preferred to stay here this week, but he presumed it had something to do with his older brother¡¯s


    arrival. But he would get to that issue another day.


    Agent C walks around Marcus¡¯s desk and pulls up the files. Marcus bends over as the Agent stands in


    full position.


    The more he reads, the more dread fills him. This couldn¡¯t be real. He checks the file on one child.


    ¡°Which one is this?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the youngest, sir.¡±


    ¡°Call Michael Stone, tell him we need him to wipe out everything on this file. No one can know of this. If


    I find Frankfurt alive, I would strangle the fucker myself. What was he thinking?¡±


    ¡°Sir, you would have to wait in line.¡± Marcus would smile at the young soldier¡¯s remark, but what he just


    saw was no smiling matter.


    ¡°Do the children know about this?¡±


    ¡°I suspect the older one might sir, she found the safe house on her own. She was also talking to the


    younger one, about something, shaking her.¡±


    ¡°They are so young. Do you think they know where the file is? I can see two intellectual minds growing


    up together as trouble.¡±


    ¡°Sir, I am not sure. When I asked the older girl, it puzzled her about what file I was talking about. The


    younger one just started smiling like she didn¡¯t know what I was even saying. But with her girl IQ level, I


    doubt that is the case. What are we going to do?¡±


    Marcus walks around the table and sits on the brown leather sofa. There were many options, but the


    right one would be to kill the children or hand them over to the pentagon to do it.


    ¡°We must split them. We must watch the small one closely, without so much as a sliver of awareness. If


    this file is urate, the girl is a very rare type of genius. And the other one, well. They would need new


    identities. Ages, birth dates, everything.¡±


    ¡°And the big one sir, she doesn¡¯t have the same structural patterns as her sister but I believe she might


    know more than she is letting on sir. If she has the file, it would make her a target if the Pentagon ever


    found out.¡±


    ¡°No, she¡¯ll be fine.¡±


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°How sure are you?¡±


    ¡°Very, I am going to tell her myself. And then she can choose, live a normal life on my terms or die.¡±


    ¡°Sir.¡±


    ¡°From now on, no one would know Frankfurt ever had kids, let alone these two. You would leave here


    and tell no one about what you saw. ording to you and me, those girls never existed.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Sir,¡± Agent C says as his jaw tightens.


    ¡°You¡¯ll make a great boss one day,¡± Marcus tells the Agent as he leaves the room.


    Marcus heads straight to the kitchen and the sound of the girls talking with Kevin stops him for a


    moment.


    His initial n was to send them off to separate parts of the world. But what if he could keep them


    around? He knew of a woman who would be a splendid mother to a hot-tempered kid. And he knew a


    genius who could help an intelligent one. However, the youngest would need a familiar face to stay. A


    reason to belong.


    But first he would need to chat to the older girl, and then to Kevin. The boy was almost 13, hardly an


    age to not be wise.


    ¡°Papa,¡± The sound of a soft voice, stops him in his tracks and he whirls around as his youngest


    daughter, Natasha, stands in the hallway wearing her long pink gown. ck hair curtails down her back


    as she smiles and opens her arms. He is hesitant, but his heart melts and he walks to lift her up into his


    arms.


    ¡°I thought you weren¡¯ting.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m here baby,¡± He whispers as he gives her a kiss on her head carrying her back to her bedroom.


    Tomorrow he will figure it all out. But seeing his daughter, his heart caved as the reality of his decision


    hit him. One of those girls had to die. He would have to take care of it himself. Then he will hand in his


    resignation.

 Chapter 4 (Sienna)

    Chapter 4 (Sienna)


    Your love is like a cocoon, the thought of it, drenched with the idea of your beauty, like a butterfly,


    sshed in color, but the reality is like a moth, ordinary and simple. I don¡¯t know why I keep hoping you


    are different.


    Sienna Bray ,


    12/08/2020


    There were many ways to describe Kevin Stone. I¡¯m sure we all had our own words about the Ghost,


    but his presence, and his frozen gaze as it stared into the cruxes you thought were hidden, was the


    mostmon. Growing up, I wanted to believe there was something dormant in him, that his unfeeling


    soul had an inkling of emotion, which didn¡¯t surround his need to protect the ones he loved. I wanted to


    believe many things when it came to Kevin Stone, and at 16 I was sure I had him pegged.


    I didn¡¯t know then what I knew today. But it was at the tender age of 16 did I get my first actual glimpse


    into the man we likened to a ghost. I saw the spark of something real in him, but it wasn¡¯t aimed at me.


    It was her, always her, Natasha Bray.


    I want to say, or better yet, I should say she didn¡¯t deserve him, BUT she did. Natasha deserved way


    more. It was him who wascking. Kevin Stone had one vital fault. He was without emotion except


    when it came to her, and even then, I wondered to what degree his emotions ran.


    I remember thest time I saw him; it was 10 years ago; I was a wild girl living a lie, and he was my


    executioner.


    Liston Hills


    10 years ago


    The night is still, with the stings of a winter¡¯s kiss. I take in the crisp air, as my fingers burn from the


    effects of its nakedness exposed unduly long to the harsh stagnant weather. My feet, though wrapped


    in boots, wail for heat.


    ¡°I¡¯m not getting my hide turned for this Sin, Papa is going to be ten shades of mad if we get caught.¡±


    ¡°We won¡¯t, next week is my birthday, you promised,¡± I remind Natasha as she picks the school¡¯s lock.


    How she learned that in less than two days was beyond my understanding.


    It¡¯s dark, and since we were out after curfew, neither of us had any cellphones or torch lights. We went


    on a whim. My Uncle Marcus was home, and when he was around, he kept his eyes on us constantly.


    We had to make it so Mason and Kylie were ¡®upied¡¯ so my Uncle didn¡¯t get suspicious.


    ¡°I know, but Ky is already in deep shit, after she knocked Dexter,¡± Natasha whispers as she pulls the


    chain from the gate.


    ¡°He deserved it,¡± I respond without bothering to lower my voice.


    ¡°No one deserves to get run over Sienna, Ky could¡¯ve killed him,¡± She babbles as we open the gate


    and I pick up the backpack, we packed weeks ago.


    ¡°He cheated,¡± I dere a bit too loud, considering where we were. Tonight was the night to prank the


    football yers at Liston High Public School. I¡¯ve always wanted to a part of the action, but my cousins


    never allowed me too. Which sucked, but this year, no one was going to stop me.


    ¡°She dumped him,¡± Natasha hisses, and we both duck down as light shes too close to us.


    ¡°Come on, that¡¯s Mason,¡± I grab her hand as I secure the bag on my shoulder and we run, with our


    backs bent, keeping close to the school walls.


    There were perks to attending Liston High Public. I would have liked it here, but my uncle insisted I


    attended a Private School. Which meant it was prankster night, and since it fell a week before my


    birthday, I insisted we prank the teams tonight. They wouldn¡¯t suspect a thing.


    ¡°Come on,¡± Mason calls out as we near them.


    ¡°We could hear you whining from here. Could you have been anymore softer?¡± Jace Stone, says to


    Natasha as we make it to the school¡¯s back door.


    Jace Stone was my cousin, Kylie Bray¡¯s brother. Long story short, her mother married his dad and they


    pro-created, not just one, but three children. When my mom passed away, Kylie¡¯s mother, Hunter,


    looked after me for a month.


    My uncle took her passing worse than I did, and I was her daughter, her only child. Jace was the only


    one who literally pretended to be nice to me. I don¡¯t miss staying at the Estate during that summer.


    Their sibling rivalry didn¡¯t extend to swearing each other, but apparently beating the crap out of one


    another was ¡®as usual¡¯.


    Considering his father, Hector, had 6 children, add in my cousin Kylie, and he was a father of more than


    half a dozen of the world¡¯s poption. There was so much male testosterone in that house.


    I felt sorry for Jace since he was the youngest boy and often got the brunt of his eldest brother, David¡¯s


    anger. So, when he knocked on my room door and offered to take me with him, I was running down the


    stairs like a puppy following its treat.


    Well, it was like that going out with my cousin Mason, Jace and their friend Sabastian Delroy. A treat.


    The three of them would take me to all kinds of ces. My favorite was the woods on the Estate.


    We¡¯d climb the trees and wait for the birds to show up. Natasha wouldn¡¯t tag along when Mason was


    around, and since he was always around, it was just me and the boys.


    After I left the Estate, those days left with me. I spent all my time with Natasha, or Kylie. Mostly Kylie,


    since Natasha preferred spending her weekends at the mall and I preferred mine on a motorbike, off


    riding in the forest.


    Kylie¡¯s best friend Diamond joined us when she got away from her books, which hardly happened, but I


    looked forward to the days when she did. It made it more memorable, as I loved Dakota, or should I


    say, Diamond, since that was what people called her.


    Why she changed her name was beyond me, and I didn¡¯t bother asking, she didn¡¯t say too much to me.


    Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Not forck of trying to talk to her, but Diamond treated me as she would a very distant friend.


    I didn¡¯t mind then and don¡¯t mind now. Because I still enjoyed spending those hours with her.


    It was a shame that Kylie was finishing herst year, and off to Washington to study. I wouldn¡¯t get to


    see any of them.


    I guess it was going to be mall weekends, with Natasha and her friends from now. I didn¡¯t have any


    other friends, since everyone in the school feared my family, or feared me. I couldn¡¯t help that fate,


    even if it pped me in the face. I had a temper that unrivalled most people in the school.


    Natasha had a few friends, but mostly she hung out with Victoria Stone, Jace¡¯s youngest sister.


    They were both 14 going on 15 and I was 15 going on 35. We were all worlds apart except for tonight.


    Natasha and I agreed. She wouldn¡¯t admit it, but she loved the thrill of sneaking into the school.


    ¡°I have the spray and sour cream. Did you girls bring the hair remover?¡± Jace asks, as he unzips his


    ck t bag.


    Mason bends down and his deep brown hair hangs over the torchlight he remembered to bring. He


    rummages through his brown leather bag, making clinking noises. Both the boys are wearing ck


    cargo pants and a dark t-shirt. I can¡¯t tell if they are charcoal grey or ck.


    But if I am going to remember this story long enough to journal it, I need all the details.


    ¡°Yup, let¡¯s do this,¡± I say, feeling the excitement rise as Natasha hands us the hair remover bottles.


    ¡°So, the boy¡¯s locker room is on the bottom floor. Go right, and then the 2nd left. Mason and Sin will do


    the showers, and Natasha and I will head for the lockers,¡± Jace says as he zips up his bag and slings it


    over his shoulder. I do the same with ours.

 Chapter 5 (Sienna)

    Chapter 5 (Sienna)


    Ten Years ago


    We head into the school, grateful they don¡¯t have an rm. Once we reach the door, Natasha giggles,


    and I squeeze her arm, snorting. I knew she would enjoy it.


    Mason hands me the torch as we split up. I hand him my hair remover, and we collect the shampoo


    bottles around the open stalls.


    We take a while to empty some shampoo out and pour the hair remover into the bottles, but by the time


    we¡¯re done shaking them, Jace and Natasha are back, and help us put the bottles in the shower stalls.


    ¡°Are we all done?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I think so,¡± I respond to Jace¡¯s question and we run out of there like our feet are on fire.


    We get to the gate and close it with the new lock and leave the key in the hole.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe we did it,¡± Natasha muses, shell-shocked, but high on adrenaline as we walk closer to


    the end of the road to get to our cars. I see something, or someone, in the shadows of the trees move.


    The shadow is dark, and I instinctively grab Natasha¡¯s arm, ¡°What¡­¡± Her words die as she sees it as


    well, a man.


    Jace curses, and Mason stops death.


    ¡°I told you not to do it,¡± A deep distinctive voice says as he walks closer to us. Blonde hair, cropped


    short, with army pants and a dark t-shirt tells me exactly who it is, but even if I didn¡¯t know, all I need do


    is hear that voice.


    ¡°I said it was part of growing okay, what¡¯s the big deal?¡± responds Jace as the rest of us stand there.


    Hees into the street and now all we can do is see him, and his blue eyes that re at his brother.


    ¡°Leave them alone, Kevin,¡± says another voice, a female voiceing from behind us, and I feel


    instant relief at the sound of approaching footsteps.


    ¡°Go home, Kylie,¡± Is the response she gets from her brother Kevin. I never understood their


    rtionship, but I got the sense they were closer than either would admit. Kylie moves her long, lithe,


    stopping only when she¡¯s right in front of Mason. Her legs slightly parted, hips jutted out to the left.


    ¡°You the one who should go home, I had my eye on them since they left. Nothing is gonna happen to


    them, though I can¡¯t say the same about you big brother.¡±


    ¡°Why is that?¡±


    ¡°Momma cooked, and she waited, and waited, and Kevin her boy didn¡¯t show up.¡±


    ¡°And?¡± He responds, and I know Kevin Stone enough to know what he means is he doesn¡¯t care. He


    can¡¯t, because Kevin Stone doesn¡¯t have those kinds of emotions. Caring is an emotional response to


    someone else¡¯s actions.


    ¡°You wouldn¡¯t wanna see momma cry now, would you? Michael was there,¡± I am not sure why


    Michael¡¯s presence is important enough to be announced but Kevin finally moves his lifeless eyes, to


    look at Natasha and it is here, under the nights sky, that I see a glimpse of something in his view.


    I¡¯m uncertain the glimpse is good or not, but it is gone. I learned very early in life to spot a fox, and I


    learnedter on to spot a ghost, and Kevin Stone has always been thetter.


    ¡°Go home Kevin, I¡¯ll make sure they all get back safe and sound,¡± Kylie assures him.


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°No, I¡¯ll make sure they get home, and then I¡¯ll go,¡± He smiles suddenly, but it¡¯s icy, and for a split


    second his eyesnd on me, and my heart beats a million times faster as fear creeps in. Kevin Stones


    attention is not something needed or wanted in my life right now. I didn¡¯t even know he was back on


    this side. He was older now, more rusty around the edges.


    ¡°You can go with Sienna, I¡¯ll get the rest,¡± He says before turning his back on us.

 Chapter 6 (Sienna)

    Chapter 6 (Sienna)


    10 Years ago


    I¡¯m not sure why that hurts like a sucker punch to the gut. I¡¯ve always felt like an outcast when I was


    younger. My mom insisted I attend a private school, the kids didn¡¯t like me as much as she hoped.


    But I didn¡¯t want her to worry, so I pretended I was the happiest kid on the block. But when I came to


    stay Liston Hills, I never felt that way. Even though I was the scariest girl in school and Icked any


    desire to be nice, I had my cousins and the Stone family too.


    And at times, when he came around, I had Kevin. Regardless of our age difference, we had a few


    moments over the years. Some were bad ones, others were good, but mostly it ended with me running


    away.


    ¡°Come on Sin, it¡¯s almost 1am, I¡¯m sure we still have time for a quick ride. You game?¡± Kylie grins, and


    I stare at her brown chocte eyes that screams of an innocence I¡¯m not sure I ever possessed.


    My mother once said innocence was a rare gift to receive upon birth, but the lightest to lose its way.


    Deep down she knew mine slipped from my grasp years before I even understood what it was.


    ¡°I¡¯m always game, Ky, Ky,¡± I wink and smile as she groans at the mention of the nickname she got from


    Diamond.


    We take less than 15 minutes to get home, and another 10 to grab the keys for the garage and get our


    gear on to ride.


    ¡°We should totally use those new helmets Papa bought,¡± suggests Kylie, as she goes to grab them,


    handing one to me. I don¡¯t mention how angry Uncle Marcus is going to be when he finds out we took it


    without permission. We knew they were ours but I gathered yesterday, any gifts bought would not be


    handed to either of us. I was still in trouble for swearing Ms Drier, and Kylie was in major shit for


    knocking her ex-boyfriend.


    I push my bike out of the garage as Kylie saddles hers, before the following suit. She has on a ck


    biker jacket, and I have on a yellow and blue one.


    Our helmets are the same since Uncle Marcus got them for us and he never treated the kids differently.


    A cares up next to us as I¡¯m securing my gloves. I want to roll my eyes when Mason, Natasha and


    Kevin jump out of the ck BMW. I expected Kevin to be in a muscle car, like a mustang, not this sleek


    sedan. Thest time I saw him, almost a year ago, he drove a big Range Rover.


    I wonder if he likes the car? When I stayed at the Estate, Kevin was already attending some military


    camp at 16.


    He came home that summer, and I couldn¡¯t for the life of me understand why he always seemed like a


    fake. We hung out a few times, mostly climbing trees or sitting on the porch having Aunt Hunters


    famous ice-tea. I recognized his keen interest in anything was just fake because I was a lot like him. I


    was living a lie that I convinced myself was true.


    Yes, I was lying to myself and the scariest part of it was that I was aware of all the reasons I woke up


    every morning pretending to be someone I was not. But Kevin had no excuse, and even if he justified it


    in his mind, he was a fraudster. When I was much younger, my dad always said the mind didn¡¯t know


    the difference between what we told it, and what was real. I know from experience now, that if you tell


    yourself a lie some many times you believe, is it actually a lie?


    I knew from the first day I saw Kevin, something wasn¡¯t right with him. Hecked depth. It was a month


    after my 12th birthday did I understand how unfeeling he was. Kylie and I were out in the gardens


    ying with Uncle Hector¡¯s golf balls, and like all kids, we were up to no good.


    Kylie suggested we ask Diamond to make us mini explosives. She was in her element and agreed. We


    attached the explosives to the balls and put them behind the rose bushes, and lily¡¯s so whenever the


    gardener, Arnold, got close enough we could make it go off.


    He didn¡¯t get hurt, and the explosives were really so small.


    But Kevin came outside and yelled at us to quit it. Obviously we didn¡¯t listen, and when he stepped


    near the rose tree, Kylie tripped the switch. She was mad at him, and when she got mad people got


    hurt.


    The ball exploded and a piece of it got stuck in his arm. It looked painful, and we both ran to see if he


    needed to go to a doctor.


    He pulled it out, without so much as a flinch, and I watched him in fascination. A part of me felt strange


    seeing the blood run down his arm as he stared at his sister. She studied him for a long time, and I just


    stood there.


    I went to touch him after Kylie turned and ran away, but Kevin took a step back. And even though he


    looked at me, I finally saw it. He was empty. And it scared the living daylights out of me.


    I kept a physical distance from him after that day, but my eyes never missed him. My gaze always


    watched, even in the shadows. Over the years, he learned to pretend I never existed, or maybe I did to


    some extent, but it was never enough for him to notice me for too long. The moments we shared were


    too quick, except for that one night.


    And it thrilled me. To him, and the other Stone brothers, I was a destructive influence to their sister,


    Victoria, so they kept her away from me. It was a good thing too, because I was the worst influence. I


    was a virus, that once I got my ws in you, I infested you from the inside out.


    I did it to my mom. I did it to my friends, and I knew I was doing it to Kylie. She didn¡¯t realize it yet, but


    one day she would, and by then it would be toote.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you gonna go on home to Mama, or are you scared?¡± Kylie asks Kevin in a mocking tone as


    Mason and Natasha head inside.

    ¡°I was, but I never say no to a ride,¡± He answers, but there is no thrill in his tone as he stands there


    watching us.


    ¡°There are 2 bikes, and as you can see Sienna and I were about to use them.¡± Kylie shows her point by


    slipping on her helmet, and I hold my smile. Well, barely as I follow her direction and fasten my own.


    He ignores his sister as he walks closer toward me, and my heart beats double time.


    ¡°You can hold on, can¡¯t you?¡± He doesn¡¯t say my name, it pisses me off. The only reason I bite my


    tongue is because my Uncle wouldn¡¯t like the colorful words. And, well, Uncle Marcus was in a foul


    mood with Kylie¡¯s antics. She sometimes had a way of making me look like the good one. Kylie¡¯s anger


    always came in big disastrous cyclones. People got hurt.


    I wasn¡¯t about to add on to that fuck fest. It still boggles my mind that Kylie knocked Dexter Kent. I


    mean, the guy cheated, sure, but it wasn¡¯t his first time on that roller coaster.


    I look at her, saddling her bike, helmet on, form so tall and solid. Kylie didn¡¯t wear her heart on her


    sleeves and from what I knew, she had the biggest not so secret crush on her step-brother, Vincent


    Stone. He didn¡¯t stay with the Stones, so I never considered him a part of the family. Nor did I even put


    him as a Stone. He was nonexistent. Much like I was to Kevin, I guess.


    But maybe Kylie didn¡¯t like Vincent as much as she did, if she could get so pissed off with Dexter for


    cheating on her.


    ¡°Yo, earth to bitch, I am waiting,¡± Kylie yells.


    I huff, but slide down my bike and swing my leg off, rushing to grab him a helmet. Kevin saddles the


    bike and slips his helmet on, and because I really want to ride, I get behind him.


    They start the bikes and the vibration of the machine between my legs makes mee alive. The


    motorcycles were new, superbikes, which were great for speed, not so much for cruising. Which meant


    a tighter grip on Kevin¡¯s torso was a must if I expected to keep my ass nted to the seat. I¡¯ve seen


    him ride, and he was all speed and no curtesy.

    10 Years ago


    He rode like the bike was glued to him, and the only way to free himself from it was to go faster, to push


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    harder. I was certain as I put my arms around his leather jacket and felt the hard ripples under his


    clothes he trained just as hard. He was honorable, unlike me, a liar with no honorable reason. He


    chose lies to make his family happy and pretend he was like them. I lied because I was selfish.


    We take the 2nd left and two rights before we are on the back road. Locking my arms tighter around


    him, he bends as we take the sharp turn and straightens just in time as we hit the bridge, passing the


    river.


    The mountains in this region were a thing of beauty. I have always loved Liston Hills. I spent most of


    my younger years in different parts of Texas. When I got older, I stayed with my mom in Miami.


    My mother was fantastic, in every way I could describe her.


    She neverined, she was always smiling and full of life. Every holiday she¡¯d bring me to Liston


    Hills, and we¡¯d spend Christmas morning riding up these mountains. She loved her bikes, and fast


    cars.


    She loved these mountains too.


    We ride up the mountain road at a fast but steady pace. Kevin makes the ride feel easy. The wind


    blows my hair as the impact of the wind seeps through my jeans.


    The ride is long and freeing, I could never get used to it.


    There is something said about the one willing to put their life on the edge and surrender to the throttle


    of a machine. Which is why we ovee the fear of falling to have this moment.


    Only it will be better if I were the one riding it. But I have to admit Kevin is an expert rider.


    It¡¯ster, orter than it already was by the time we make it to the top. I remove my helmet as Kylie


    grabs the nkets from her saddle.


    ¡°You¡¯re a natural,¡± Kevinpliments as a small grin touches his face like a shadow. I want to believe it


    is natural, but something tells me I am missing something.


    The little I knew about Kevin Stone, he didn¡¯t smile unless it was for a reason, and I was certain the


    reason did not revolve around praising someone. But, as I inhale the air, I choose to give him a little


    benefit of the doubt. People change all the time.


    ¡°Thanks, you were a little rusty around the corners. But not too bad.¡± Kylieughs at myment and


    Kevin just shrugs as he turns and walks to the nkets Kylie set up on the floor.


    This was the best spot to watch the sunrise in Liston Hills. It seemed like a majestic site when you saw


    it from up here.


    I lie on the floor next to Kylie. She takes my hand, which we have done since we were kids, and we


    peer into the night sky, waiting.


    ¡°Do you think my momma is watching me?¡± I ask the same question I always do.


    ¡°Yeah, your momma is probably turning in the clothes after watching her soon to be 16-year-old


    daughter at the back of my bike,¡± Kevin is the one who answers and Kylie squeezes my hand at that


    one.


    ¡°True story, Momma never liked you,¡± I tell him.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t me her either, she had reasons not.¡±


    ¡°Like screwing Ginger Cray in the barn,¡± Kylie adds with a chuckle.


    ¡°Beating up Craig Sawyer after he forgot to make their dinner date,¡± I continue with a smile as a tear


    travels down my cheek. I had forgotten about that time until now.


    Kevin was staying with Uncle Marcus the weekend we arrived and my momma burst into a fit of tears.


    He didn¡¯t take long to find Craig Sawyer and show him the error of his ways.


    ¡°I forgot about that until now,¡± My voice is low at my confession and I am d Kylie is holding my hand.


    ¡°You wanna know what I remember?¡± Kylie questions.


    ¡°Momma chasing you around the Estate?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, you momma could run, I knew if I didn¡¯t start running she¡¯d eventually catch me, and true to


    word she always did.¡± Kylie¡¯s memories cause a pain in my heart. The thought of her makes it hurt


    more, because she was my momma, even if the life I lived was mostly a lie.


    ¡°You gonna be 16 soon Sienna, you ready for whates next?¡± Kevin asks, and the question makes


    my saliva lodge thick in my throat. There is a whole new meaning to that question and an answer I


    couldn¡¯t mention to either of them. Was I ready? The answer was no. In actual fact, I wasn¡¯t even 16.


    Kevin knew that.


    ¡°I¡¯m sure I¡¯ll get there.¡±


    ¡°You know what I just realized?¡± Kylie interrupts and I am d for it.


    ¡°What?¡± I say, genuinely curious.


    ¡°Diamond is exactly 12 months younger than you,¡± She says in awe.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen her this week, is she alright?¡± I keep my voice low and casual but hoping I get a


    genuine answer.


    ¡°She¡¯s fine. Michael and her are working on a study. She¡¯s agreed to take the Professorship at WU next


    year. I¡¯m grounded until doomsday,¡± Kylie answers and relief washes over me that her best friend is


    fine.


    ¡°That¡¯s a p on the wristpared to jail time. You lucky he didn¡¯t press charges.¡± Kevin is right. Kylie


    could have found herself in juvie.


    ¡°I¡¯m rich, luck has nothing to do with it. Papa is coughing out 10 mill to keep Dexter in check,¡± Kylie


    says but her words say she doesn¡¯t believe them.


    ¡°Do you really think Marcus needs to cough out anything?¡± Kevin¡¯s question makes my suspicions


    about Kylies¡¯ feelings for Dexter run deeper.


    ¡°He already did. But no, I think Dexter would rather lose his leg and hate me than send me to Juvie.¡±


    ¡°It is sad you couldn¡¯t take your pride and leave, and had to knock the guy, because he pissed you off. I


    stopped over at the hospital to see how¡¯s he doing. His football career is over,¡± Kevin says, and his


    wordse out blunt and harsh. And I flinch as Kylie sucks in a breath.


    ¡°Well, he was going to work for the Delroys anyway, not like he was going to go pro,¡± She snipes and I


    know she is feeling like shit.


    ¡°Now we¡¯ll never know. You should have called me,¡± Kevin tells her.


    ¡°Should have, but didn¡¯t. No use talking about the past. Let¡¯s just enjoy the sunrise.¡± Her words mute


    Kevin and I as we lie under the star filled night. We watch the sunrise without a word. All lost in our


    minds.


    By the time we get back home it¡¯s closing on 6 o¡¯clock.


    ¡°Sienna, can I talk to you?¡± Diamond asks, standing in the middle of the foyer. I don¡¯t look at Kylie¡¯s


    quizzical look, or Kevin¡¯s keen eyes.


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    I walk closer toward her, my jacket half off my mind rambling with reasons as to why she¡¯d want to talk


    me.


    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± I ask, tugging off the rest of my jacket.


    ¡°You¡¯ve been acting strange around me recently, is everything alright?¡± Well, that is a loaded question.


    The thing is, everything would never be alright because she didn¡¯t know who I was. Sometimes I wish I


    could tell her, but with 3 surgical procedures done to my face and hair, she¡¯d never believe me.


    So I smile and shrug, ¡°All is good, I¡¯m a bit tense with mid-terming up.¡±


    Her blue eyes stare directly into my brown ones. My once ck hair, now golden blonde, doesn¡¯t even


    give me a way. Sometimes I wonder if I ever told her, would she believe me? Was she already too far


    gone?


    ¡°Okay, I have to get home. My dad is cooking his famous shepherd¡¯s pie.¡±


    ¡°Cool, bye.¡±


    She doesn¡¯t smile as she walks away and I stand there, with my jacket dangling on the ground, and my


    jaw locked tight. Kevin walks in after Diamond leaves, and he gives me an expression I know all too


    well.

 Chapter 8 (Sienna)

    Chapter 8 (Sienna)


    10 Years ago


    I march past him, and he grabs my arm. I re at him, as he tightens his hold around my flesh and


    bone, ¡°Whatever you thinking about doing, don¡¯t,¡± His warning is clear.


    Pulling my arm out of his reach, I head upstairs, straight to my room, mming the door closed.


    This is my hell, this is the price I pay everyday just to be closer to her. But my time is ticking, I¡¯m 16


    soon and before I go, she needs to know. Diamond needs to know I am alive.


    Even if it means risking my life. What about hers, a voice whispers?


    "Sin, get your behind downstairs," Kylie shouts as I grab my other boot from under the bed. I cringe


    when I see the amount of clothes nesting by my headboards legs and the middle of the floor.


    I have never been the neatest and although I had my cleaning moments, it neversted long enough to


    make it permanent.


    Uncle Marcus made it clear. When we turned 13, we were all to clean our own rooms. Uncle Marcus


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    said it would teacher us to have the willpower to finish what we started. The only thing I learned was to


    make sure I could afford a cleaning service.


    The house staff only cleaned our rooms once every 2 months and that clean sparkling feeling only


    I tie my shoce of my boots as Kylie yells again.


    "Keep your panties outa your ass, jeez like it," I screech and Kylieughs so loud I can hear it from my


    bedroom.


    Finally, I get downstairs and head to the back of the house where she is waiting with a big naughty grin.


    She recently cut her hair to the shoulders, but she still makes it look good. I wished she''d grow out her


    hair for a change.


    "Are you ready for your present? I ain''t waiting for the party. You look good though."


    I looked great, my blonde hair was curled into waves down my back, and my ck dress was a tidbit


    daring with the 6 fingers above my knee but loose enough that uncle Marcus wouldn''t throw me into an


    early casket.


    The ankle boot was my birthday present from my friend, Xander. I met Xander 3-years-ago. He was a


    new boy at the time and absolutely gorgeous. He was also partially Italian, although he didn''t talk much


    about his upbringing besides his obsession with fast cars, which he got from his dad. He was one of


    the select few I didn¡¯t scare him away.


    "Yes, show me," I say as she beams, literally grabbing my hand and pulling me I almost tumble on my


    own two feet.


    "Diamond, weing through."


    We head to the west wing where the entrance to the pool is and the library, plus my uncle¡¯s gun


    museum.


    "Momma said Xander wasing tonight, you can finally have that first kiss." Kylie says as we worm


    our way through our home.


    "Xander? Yeah, that will not happen since his altercation with Aliyana in Washington."


    Xander and I were close, as close as one would be if they had a big secret they weren''t allowed to


    share, but close.


    However,st week Kylie and I went to Washington to sort out her new ce at WU, and we attended a


    party on the Campus. We also invited Kylie''s new friend, Aliyana Capello.


    The girl was cool, and I liked her friend Lorenzo, the sister Elisa, however, just rubbed me the wrong


    way. There was definitely something not right, I would know. I have lived a lie most of my life. I even


    convinced myself it was all true.


    But when we got to the party Xander showed up, and he wasn''t all smiles and delights, he was serious


    and looking for Aliyana. The entire altercation didn''t turn out well, since they both were Mafia kids on


    different sides.


    Kylie and I mostly stayed out of it, but when all the parties involved had their say, we told Xander and


    the others to fuck off. Not my best moment, also not my smartest since Xander was actually the


    innocent one which Iter found out. And yes, I believed him.


    But innocent or not, I was not getting involved with any Mafia children. No way in hell.


    "Sin, you need to let bygones be bygones. We just saw him at the wrong time, and as he said, he is


    innocent. And to be quite frank, I believe him."


    "I believe him too, but I don''t like him that way,"


    "Do you like Diamond? It''s okay if you role that way, I totally understand." She pulls me faster after


    delivering those words, and my heart rate spikes with unease.


    "No, I like boys, just not Xander. He isn''t my type."


    "Xander is everyone¡¯s type. What? Are you fucking blind? The guy reeks of sex appeal."


    "Then you kiss him,"


    "Maybe I will do more than kiss him."


    "Hurry you two, the suspense is killing me," Diamond screams and I can hear she is outside by the


    pool.


    We get to the back of the house and slide open the pool doors. The ck ss ma doors hide


    most of the pool area. My uncle always said a see through ss door showed clutter and he never did


    well with clutter.


    I step outside onto the patio and look around as Kylie leaves my hand and walks over to diamond. I


    look at both of them and my heart tugs seeing Kylie with her dark hair and Diamond with her golden


    locks. Would we have looked simr? Would I have stood next to her holding her shoulders like Kylie


    is?


    I have to tell her. The both of them beam at me, and I paste a smile on my face, waiting for the big


    reveal.


    "Well, we thought since it was your birthday and all and you were looking down, this morning we''ll


    cheer you up."


    "Where is it?" I ask.


    They both look at each other and even though I couldn''t say it, I Am jealous. I would never have that.


    Diamond holds something in her hand and walks over to me. She looks stunning with her mid-length


    royal blue dress on and green and royal blue shoes.


    "There you go." She opens her hand and in it is a key.


    "You didn''t." I look up at Kylie and see her smile hugely.


    "I so did. Papa said it was the best idea. He said a car woulde in handy when you attend WU."


    "Kylie, I don''t know what to say." Diamond pulls my hand and when I reach Kylie, I hug her as a tear


    falls down my cheek. How the fuck did I get so damn luck?


    "Say nothing, let¡¯s take it for a spin."


    "Alright, don''t you wanna change for the party first?"


    "No, I¡¯m perfectly fine with what I am wearing."


    I wish I knew before I jumped in the car, how my birthday would turn out. Maybe things would have


    been different and thest 10 years would have never happened. I know it is said that to regret your


    past is to deny yourself peace of mind. But regret is the only thing I can do, because saying sorry for


    the choice I made, well, that would not happen.

 Chapter 9 (Sienna)

    Chapter 9 (Sienna)


    Sienna


    10 yearster


    To my Darlin¡¯ Sin


    Love was something I thought was never meant for a man like me. But since that day you stole my


    bagel and sat on my table, I knew that I was wrong.


    You walked into my life like a guardian angel with devil wings, and each time you left a piece of my soul


    left with you. My love, I know, was not an easy ride; it was dark and suffocating, but I always told you,


    genuine love is never smooth on the crevice, it¡¯s jagged, filled with a kaleidoscope of colors. I was a bit


    too jagged, and parts of me spilt onto you.


    I have watched you these past 6 years, walk into my life only to leave a bit tainted each time. But like


    all soul mates, you found your way home to me.


    And maybe it was my selfishness that caused all of this. My desire to be loved by you, turned into a


    cruel obsession and I hurt you. I¡¯ve never wanted to have to do this, but I am afraid that a coward is


    always that, a coward.


    I have left you, and I know upon my leave, you would hate me, but I rather you hate me so much that


    you jump in your car and leave, with no intention of evering back. I have never been a man of


    many words, but Sienna, I love you with all I am, and even in death I will love you with the piece of


    what¡¯s left. Take care of him and love him for both of us.


    Yours always and forever


    Gabriel


    It¡¯s funny how the person you took so long to love could be the one you took one look at and


    hated. All that love, dying in vain for nothing. Not even a memory.


    I have pictured my death in every scenario.


    Falling off a cliff been the unlikeliest way I would die. I was so scared of heights there was not one thing


    about it I would consider funny.


    Growing up, my Uncle knew taking me on a ne anywhere would not happen without some serious


    Sienna tantrum. So he braced himself for days in advance before we left.


    And then, too, I ended up either on a boat, in a car, or staying behind. So dying by falling off a cliff,


    building or anything with height was not happening. And I loved myself way too much to even consider


    changing that.


    Getting eaten by a shark was an impossibility since I didn''t skirt the ocean¡¯s waters regrly on any


    basis. I kept to the safe parts of the beach and mostly just let the water wash over me from the safe


    side of the shore.


    A car knocking me whilst I ran across the road was the silliest way I could die, and also not a possibility


    I would have considered. Seen as I lived in an enormous house most of my life in a small stuck-up


    town called Liston Hills designed solely for the wealthiest people and their rich stuck up kids. They


    never saw me walking on the road, besides the distance it took me to get to my motorbike or car.


    Choking on chocte cake? Yes, I could die like that, I devoured a lot of cake and my ass showed just


    how much of it I ate. Running until my limbs fell apart? It was a possibility. I ran a lot, that however did


    not show anywhere on my body. Maybe getting killed was the best option. That happened a lot to me,


    considering I was never the one they wanted. Andst, falling off my motorbike would not happen in the


    near future since my bike now sat at my uncle¡¯s penthouse in Washington.


    Over thest 28 years of my existence, I have imagined every likely way I could die. Old age, not one


    of them because I knew death wanted me sooner. I was too wild not to ept an invitation.


    At 16, I was forced to leave home before I even finished school because I was na?ve and dumb enough


    to fall in love with my cousin¡¯s half-brother and trusted him.


    A guy as unattainable as the immortality I wished I could have every time I sat down to read a fiction


    book. Not only was he incapable of love, but he had one obsession and that obsession was one of the


    very few people in the world I loved and really liked. She was the person I happily lived in the shadow


    of because she was beautiful inside and out, my cousin, best friend and the reason I was in my current


    situation, Natasha Bray.


    Of course, you are wondering why this isn¡¯t about her, and about me. It needs to be clear I am the


    bitch. The infamous trouble maker, the girl so bad that she gets chased out of her town in the middle of


    the night with a backpack, a couple grand and a car.


    Yes, that is me, Sienna Bray. Liston Hill¡¯s most infamous slut and the Famous Bray family¡¯s biggest


    disappointment. Well, now I was the 2nd biggest disappointment in my family, since my bad-ass, sexy,


    popr cousin, Kylie Bray fell in love with her stepbrother, Vincent Stone, who was a member of the


    mob and shot the guy, dead, in his hotel room.


    Yes, well, Kylie definitely topped that podium. Had to give her points when she got free and


    disappeared. Poof, gone, like smoke and air. There were rumors about where she went, what


    happened to her.


    And if you went searching long enough and knew where to go, you would find her. Well, what was left


    of her? She wasn¡¯t the same girl after her time stuck in a prison cell. Guess anyone would change after


    that, though. I knew there was much more to the story than that.


    I also knew Kylie was done with her family, apart from two people, and one of them needed her help.


    The other one I was not even going to think about right now.


    Which was the reason that brought me to now, contemting an alternative way of dying that didn¡¯t


    include me and a car as I reminded myself to breathe?


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    My pulse and erratic heartbeat do nothing to ease the pain that ising from the wet area around my


    torso down to my abdomen as I head straight down the unfamiliar road. It is so dark and my lights are


    on dim to save the bit of life this piece of junk car has left in it.


    The shitty machine was not meant tost for longer than this trip, anyway. I bought it for one reason,


    ¡®Get me here¡¯ now I was here, but not exactly where I needed to be.


    ¡°Just hold on a minute, sweetheart,¡± I yell, as I breathe in deep, taking quick breaths as my stomach


    screams in pain as the insides of my body closes up again. This time is worse. Breathe, Sienna.


    The burner I boughtys useless on the empty seat of the car I bought in Houston. Another bout of pain


    hits me. I barely keep the car on the road as it swerves. I scream I can''t die. No, please not yet. Not


    until they are safe.

 Chapter 10 (Killer)

    Chapter 10 (Killer)


    ¡°That is cheating,¡± Whisp deres, ring at the Lethal Assassin. Mercy grins, picking up the pile of


    cash she just won. Of course, she cheated, it¡¯s Mercy.


    The room still smells of the grey and white paint we used to redo the walls for the 4th time after the


    ce was almost shot to smithereens by La Sanati¡¯s men in a war we started 5-years-ago when we


    protected his wife from the sick fuck.


    A war that was still going strong since he kidnapped my fucking sister and got his men to rape her


    while they recorded the entire fucking thing.


    He was the reason my sister who was once innocent now chose a fucking gun over shy shoes. He


    took that shit from her, and no amount of bloodshed will get that back. It toughened her up, but I never


    wanted that for my sweet Ky.


    La Sanati was a psycho who called himself the King of the outfit. Personally, I considered him a


    wussy of pussies. I haven''t got the chance to inform the asshole of this because I was still yet to meet


    him.


    I even went hunting him down to do just that, but he hasn''t yed his part with getting caught. Lucky


    for him I was a patient man, and I had a fuck load of time.


    My sister was a survivor and knew I would get her the revenge she wanted. She knew it because she


    was now with me. My Club had be her club, and she earned her stripes just like the rest of us,


    proudly.


    The clubhouse was doing alright, but it cost a lot of dough to be fine with my sister doing the


    decorating. A lot of that dough came from my pocket when she decided she couldn¡¯t live with the


    budget the Club gave her.


    Kylie wasn''t rolling in her daddy¡¯s Benjamins since she whacked my half-brother, Vincent, saving me


    the trouble of doing it. She got cut off from her mother and the government froze all her other ounts.


    After a $6 million bail and the other couple of mill spent inwyer bills, they granted Kylie her freedom


    only because of Storm, the Ka Chapter¡¯s Vice President who was fucking my sister behind my back.


    We had words, Vice President, to Vice President. They weren¡¯t words spoken from my mouth, but my


    knuckles had a fuck lot to say about that.


    Worked out for her though, because now she was one of us and I made her my responsibility,


    distinguishing most of the im Storm wanted over her. He wanted my sweet Ky since he fuckin¡¯ saw


    her walk her ass to the Jet. She was just 18 then.


    Now, her freedom was his doing, and her ass was stuck to him for another 2 years. But once that clock


    ran its course, I was taking my sister with me and getting our asses on the road. I was the National


    Vice President of The Satan Sniper¡¯s Motorcycle Club and I agreed to them giving me the position


    because the thought of getting stuck in one ce too long sent my body into a fever.


    Add in the thought of Storm fucking my sister made me see death. I had no emotion like other brothers,


    but I seemed to enjoy spoiling for a fight. My logic was fucked up and if I could make sense of any


    situation where it could end up with someone¡¯s face and my fist getting acquainted, then count me in.


    Yeah, I wasn¡¯t a fucking nice person, but I got shit sorted and my sister knew that my reasoning for not


    taking out Storm for touching what he shouldn¡¯t was fuck all to do with him touching what he shouldn¡¯t


    and everything to do with his father, my President, Ribs.


    It was my 2nd day back in Ka and 1st time in the pool room since it got renovated. I left for a month


    this time, Kylie who we now called Frost, joining me for the first 4 days when I had to go check out the


    shit happening in our Denver Chapter. She came back early with Venus, as was one stiption of her


    freedom. She couldn¡¯t leave Ka for more than a week, and only if it was with another member.


    When she got back, Frost called me to say she wanted to redo the game room. I had to admit; the


    ce looked good.


    Brown wooden benches added as a fixture to the wall was a recent addition I approved of. My ass


    nicely seated on it, enjoying my beer as I watch Mercy bend her round ass encased in a nice pair of


    light denim pants.


    It was her 2nd day back too, as was After and Raven, all of us from National. We spent days chilling as


    we waited for the others to arrive.


    Beggar and Jade were still gone on club business for River. Snake, our National treasury still on his


    way from Liston Hills after some fucking shit was going down with the DELROY¡¯S back in my


    hometown, Liston hill.


    Sabastian Delroy was paying the Club a ton of cash that even made my eyebrows rise to find someone


    for him. Thing is, he wanted Snake, because Snake was from Liston Hills, just like me, and if he asked


    me, I would have told him to fuck himself as I always did.


    River called us this side after an intense meeting with another biker club wanting shelter in Ka. It


    was the reason of calling in National and the reason for us stopping by when we were hunting down


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    La Sanati and dealing with other club shit. 5 fucking years, and the man still eluded us. How the


    fuck he got that right was something I wanted to know.


    I knew before we arrived that we were going to be here for a few weeks at least, before we got back on


    the road. Mercy was happy to be back, going by her sexy grin as she slides my way. But After, who


    was scowling, as her fingers danced with the sharp de in between them, wasn¡¯t too pleased to be


    stuck.


    I contemted talking to her, but I decided the best thing to do for now was nothing. Precisely what I


    have done. I was fucking brilliant at following my own advice and even better at forcing others to follow


    it too. There was a peg stuck up After¡¯s ass. I had my suspicions, but I never said my part until I knew


    all the details. Something I learned from my father.


    ¡°Don''t be so serious, it''s just a game,¡± Spade says, all smiles, as he walks past the two women sitting


    on the pool table chuckling to himself.


    ¡°Says you who never loses,¡± Whisp gripes as Mercy and Spade both howl withughter.


    He takes a seat next to me on the wall fitted bench as Mercy gets up and joins us, bringing me a cold


    beer.


    ¡°Your brother called in a favor a few minutes ago, Prez is still on the phone with him, sounds like a


    family problem.¡±


    ¡°He shouldn''t waste his breath, I don¡¯t give favors to pissies.¡± The Stone family was dead to me, since


    they decided Kylie was dead to them. If there was one thing I lived by, it was loyalty.


    The barriers go off and the clubhouse we call our home erupts into chaos. The entire house goes from


    mellow to awareness in seconds.


    I run to the door as Mercy, Spade and the others go for the ammunition.


    We always have our guard up since La Sanati, the Outfits crime boss, dered war on our


    Motorcycle Club. Waiting for him to make a mistake has been our only call of action. The rain pours in


    vicious doses as we rush out into the night.


    Frost pushes from behind me, her distinctive scent unmistakable. We are the first two to head outside,


    meeting Texas and Raven by the open gate, since they were on guard duty tonight.


    I assess the situation; the Honda smashed into our gate, and the airbag holding whoever it is a


    mystery. The windshield is fucked, the rain making this a lot messier. The car¡¯s one light is shining into


    the yard, preventing me from seeing what or who it is. Raven is the first to rush to the car.


    ¡°Help me, she''s pregnant,¡± The words spill from Raven¡¯s lips and we all rush into action. Texas


    punctures the airbag and checks thedy as I pull out my phone, dialing the hospital.


    ¡°Her pulse is weak, we can''t move her. If her spine is fucked from the impact, the baby will die,¡± Texas


    says as others from the house gather around, ready to help.


    I move next to him as Frost and After scream for Venus.


    Thedy¡¯s blonde hair is covering her face, she''s unconscious. I make no attempt to do anything


    besides stand and watch her after ending the call to the local hospital.


    My patience is indescribable. It is something I am good at doing. I am not curious about thedy as the


    other bikers who stand around us are.


    Another person would react, panics, like Frost and Venus. But I don''t have that emotion. I have no


    emotion of sympathy, empathy, or the other stuff people are supposed to feel when looking at an


    unconscious pregnant woman. I once thought I did, when Beggar came into our lives. I got hopeful that


    I could feel something but when it came down to it; I felt nothing besides knowing to protect her.


    Chades rushing to the crowd of bikers, ¡°Venus is at the club tonight. She''s not picking up her


    phone, River is calling Hannah.¡±


    The pregnantdy moves, a simple stir, ¡°Stay still sweetheart,¡± Texas says in his thick ent.


    ¡°My baby,¡± She murmurs as Frost pushes me to the side in a rush and lifts thedy¡¯s hair off her


    face.

 Chapter 11 (Killer)

    Chapter 11 (Killer)


    ¡°Sienna.¡± The name and shock echoes through the air as Frost announces to all of us who it is we are


    dealing with or what.


    ¡°Hey Ky, I think my baby is ready toe out, you mind helping me? And I got a present in the trunk


    for you,¡± Sienna¡¯s chirpy voice says, but I can hear the grit in her tone.


    I push them aside, ¡°How''s the spine?¡± I ask her, ignoring her unsettled gaze.


    ¡°It¡¯s good.¡±


    I put my hands under her legs and behind her back, and drag her out, using my legs as I lower my


    body to lift her up. Once she is close to my chest everyone moves out of my way as I walk her toward


    the house. She is fucking heavy, and the rain doesn''t make it a fucking simple task.


    River stands by the door waiting for me, ¡°Take her to the lounge, Hannah is 5 minutes away.¡± He


    moves out of the way just in time as I move to the lounge area to put her on the dark brown lounge


    suite Kylie made me buy after her fucking fit with the ce.


    Sienna shivers as her back arches. Mercyes to her other side and rips off her lower pants as she


    screams. After and Frost drop to the floor with Mercy.


    ¡°I need you Killer, she''s ready to pop,¡± Mercy says in a firm but loud voice.


    I give orders as my body and mind go into focus. I have done this before, for someone in this very


    room. I look at After as she drops her eyes. Yes, memories have a way of haunting even the tough


    ones. Sometimes those memories aren¡¯t things they want to remember. We throw everything on the


    coffee table to the ground.


    I focus as I get the guys to help lift her to the long coffee table. I just needed to look at her opening to


    know she will not handle a natural birth.


    Mercy injects her with a hefty dose of morphine straight into the bloodstream as I throw alcohol over


    the de handed to me and burn it. I dip the de in the bowl of water Frost brings, and I cut a line


    across the stomach as Sienna gets drowsy. My subconscious mind can hear Spade telling the others to


    leave the room, but I am focused on the task as I tear into her stomach.


    Birth is a messy thing I would never choose to do. I cut away the thin membrane around the baby and


    put my hand inside her body, gripping the infant by its neck and slowly sliding it out of the body.


    I turn the kid upside down, shoving a finger in the mouth. The howl fills the air and everybody erupts in


    happiness. The after birth, liquid and other shites out as I hear the sirens. The paramedics are


    quick as they apply the drips and stitch her up. Thedy takes the baby from me, and hands me a


    scissor to cut the umbilical cord.


    She wraps the child in a nket, still bloody and crying. Everything happens in a quick session. My


    hands are covered in blood as I watch them, still as a statue as they take her away. Sienna is back.


    The paramedic looks at me with the baby in her arms and smiles, ¡°You did wonderful daddy, he¡¯s a


    strong boy.¡± She grabs her bag up and ces the baby in a stic cot.


    I say nothing but stare at him. His body is so tiny, fragile. Easy breakable. A sense of protectiveness


    shadows me, and I know I would have to protect him from his mother too.


    Frost nudges me, ¡°Lets follow them.¡±


    I nod, and we rush to the 4x4 outside. Raven and Spade jumping in at the back.


    We arrive at the hospital just as they carting Sienna and her boy inside. Raven and Kylie rush off to


    follow them. I look down at the blood on my hands, realizing I didn¡¯t wash them. My phone rings and I


    slip it out of my pants pockets, checking the caller ID. I frown, seeing River¡¯s name shing.


    ¡°What happened now?¡± I ask as my way of answering.


    ¡°We checked the boot and found Natasha Bray inside. She¡¯s saying she¡¯s FROST¡¯S sister.¡± The name


    has my mouth tightening. I should have known where Sienna goes, Natasha follows. Why did I


    presume after all these years Natasha would realize on her own that Sienna was a ma for


    problems?


    ¡°I¡¯m not surprised. Get her settled, I¡¯ll let Frost know.¡±


    ¡°Your brother phoned, he¡­¡± I put the phone down on his ear.


    I head into the hospital, and the smell of sickness clogs my senses. I¡¯m going to have to clean my body


    and mind after this. Thedy at the reception area gives me a look I know all too well, as her hazel


    eyes drop to my jeans, and up my white t-shirt that¡¯s sttered with blood.


    ¡°I¡¯m looking for the woman who came in with the paramedics,¡± My eyes don¡¯t blink as I stare at her


    waiting for a response.


    ¡°Are you the father?¡± She almost sounds sad, and since I have no qualms about lying, I give her my


    fake smile.


    ¡°Yes, do you want me to sign in?¡± Her disappointment shows on her pesky face. She¡¯s pretty, with long


    structured cheekbones, strong curved jawline. Knight considers that an attractive woman.


    I consider it flesh and bone. She is nd like most woman are, shallow, and probably a lousy fuck that


    thinks doggy style, is living on the edge. Not for me.


    ¡°Yes, you can sign here.¡± She hands me the electronic board and I sign myself in as Peter Stiles.


    Hannah was going to have a hissy fit, but when has she not! Since the woman found out she was


    pregnant, the world around just made her angry.


    ¡°What floor is she on?¡±


    ¡°Miss Bray is on the 6th floor, in the private suite, room 202. Dr Stiles will be in shortly. Mr Kerby, our


    pediatrician is currently with your son. Are you rted to Dr Stiles?¡±


    ¡°No,¡± I say as I walk down the lobby and get to the elevator. I don¡¯t wait long for the doors to open and


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    press the 6th floor. This is the part where I am supposed to bring her flowers and put on a happy


    fucking face. Well, that is what I did when my brother, David¡¯s ex-wife gave birth to my nephew, Aron.


    The boy and I were close. I didn¡¯t have to pretend with the kid. He knew I would keep him safe and give


    my life for his. He was turning 12 this year, and I was going to keep him for the summer, so he could


    stay out of trouble while his father began his campaign for elections.


    My brother¡¯s need for power didn¡¯t gel well with me, and I wouldn¡¯t vote for him. Since his wife cheated


    on him, he never moved past from that. His head has always been up his ally, and in the process he


    pulled Aron down with him.


    The kid didn¡¯t deserve that shit, and I was fucking thrilled when Michael told me David was sending


    Aron to Liston Hills to stay with my mom.


    I wanted nothing to do with my family, but my mother was a trophypared to David.


    The doors open up to the 6th floor, and I see two nurses walk past in their flowery outfits chatting. I


    head straight for the doors that say Maternity ward and ring the button. It buzzes open and the fact that


    they don¡¯t evene and check who the hell is buzzing pisses me off.


    What if I were here to kill someone? Sienna still hasn¡¯t told us what shit she dabbled in this time to rock


    up pregnant. I remember thest time she saw me, her eyes pleading to stay.


    She couldn¡¯t then, and she can¡¯t now. She has to get her kid and get the fuck out of here as soon as


    possible. I¡¯ll give her money and make sure the two of them are safe for Frost¡¯s sake.

 Chapter 12 (Killer)

    Chapter 12 (Killer)


    ¡°Sir, you need to sign in,¡± The nurse says as she hands me another board.


    ¡°Reception called ahead,¡± She says when I don¡¯t sign in straight away. I take a deep breath and sign


    the form and ignore her curious gaze.


    ¡°Miss Bray is on the 4th door on the right,¡± She directs me. I head to Sienna¡¯s room, not looking into the


    other rooms as I walk past. Kylie and Raven are sitting on the couches inside the room. The room is


    enormous, and the bed is a queen-size normal bed. Sienna is out cold with drips in her arm and hand.


    The sidemp is the only light in the room.


    ¡°They gave her a mild sedative, she lost a lot of blood,¡± Raven informs me.


    ¡°No shit,¡± I respond.


    ¡°You know she¡¯s going to need our help,¡± Kylie says.


    ¡°Tough shit. She¡¯s gone as soon as she and her baby are fit to hit the road.¡±


    Frost narrows her eyes, ¡°She¡¯s gone as soon as she is safe.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t take me on with this little sister, you would lose,¡± I warn Kylie, because with Sienna Bray there is


    no oue which ends with her staying.


    ¡°She is my family,¡± Kylie says in an exasperated tone I KNOW all too well. Normally, I would cave into


    my sister¡¯s demands, but not when her safety and the clubs are at risk.


    ¡°She¡¯s dangerous, and you and I both fucking know it. Do you remember what she tried to do?¡±


    ¡°It was 10 years ago, we have all changed,¡± Her voice rises and she makes it sound like my


    reservations are incredulous.


    I slide a hand through my blonde hair, my eyes glinting as my sister stands up, breathing hard. She¡¯s


    getting angry. At least she still feels even if it is mostly anger. Unlike me, I am an unfeeling fucker and


    in some cases it is a good thing. It helps keep the ones I need to protect alive. Even when they don¡¯t


    like it.


    And my little sister will not like it one bit.


    ¡°Natasha was in the boot of her car. River is setting her up with a room.¡±


    Frost¡¯s eyes go wide, ¡°What? What the fuck was she doing in the back? She emailed mest week said


    she was fine and on her way to Chicago.¡±


    ¡°You should get home. Spade, Raven, and I will keep Sienna safe.¡±


    Frost smiles, and it isn¡¯t a good one, as she nts her ass on the couch, crossing her long legs.


    ¡°You can go to Natasha. Raven, Spade and I will keep Sin safe, run along now,¡± She makes a shooing


    motion.


    ¡°I will do nothing to harm Sienna, she¡¯s just had a fucking baby,¡± I tell Frost as Raven gets up and goes


    to the bathroom, not wanting to hear our conversation.


    ¡°Like you did nothing 10 years ago? When she was half bleeding to death?¡±


    ¡°She almost killed Diamond¡¯s father, knocked you unconscious, and although she says it was a mistake


    was it, really? Do you know what Sienna has done? The people she has hurt, manipted? Are you


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    really willing to take that risk, little sister? Because I guarantee you, this will not end well for any of us


    involved. La is still missing. We are in the middle of a war, with already enough people to protect,


    we don¡¯t need to add to that.¡±


    Her eyes drop, and I know the logical reason is at the mention of La. I know the logic, I just don¡¯t


    feel the empathy.


    Growing up Frost would spend hours teaching me, helping understand emotions, so when my mother


    cried and when she hugged me, I could pretend for her benefit I actually gave a fuck. Didn¡¯t stop her


    from leaving us though for months without even a phone call. I didn¡¯t care, I really didn¡¯t but Frost did. It


    cut her deep. She cried because she never understood what she did that was so bad. Which was the


    reason I spent most of my time at the Bray manor.


    ¡°It¡¯s been almost 6 years, we can¡¯t keep looking for a man who is so deep in hiding, he is probably lost


    himself,¡± Kylie doesn¡¯t look at me as she voices out what I knew Beggar was thinking as well. They


    both wanted to move on with their lives, but La will never let that happen.


    ¡°He attacked us less than a year ago. We can¡¯t keep fighting, either. We need to find him and end this.


    This isn¡¯t just about you and Beggar any longer, it¡¯s bigger than that.¡± It¡¯s a harsh truth to tell my sister,


    but it is a truth.


    La Sanati came into our lives when Beggar walked through the club¡¯s door, and he became our


    enemy when he took my sister and turned her into this- a half living woman.


    And maybe he wasn¡¯t the reason Frost killed Vincent, but he was the reason Vincent became the


    psychopath he ended being. I can¡¯t me the man for all of it, but he yed a leading role. Since then


    he has attacked our Clubhouse 3 times in 5 years and caused not just one but 7 deaths in the club. He


    was a coward, and cowards always made a mistake.


    ¡°And then what? His death won¡¯t change the past, it will never make it all go away. Everyone thinks his


    death would somehow bring me back and change Beggar, but it won¡¯t. This is who I am, Kevin.¡± Frost


    says, and I hear the note of sadness in her words. She stares at me from across the room and I want to


    say something that would make it right. I want to have the words to tell her I am okay with who she is,


    but then it will be a lie. I¡¯m not okay with this version of Kylie.

 Chapter 13 (Killer)

    Chapter 13 (Killer)


    ¡°Hey, guys, I see I caught you two at the wrong time.¡± Hannah walks in, with her Dr coat in her hand.


    I move to help her put it on. Her stomach is enormous. She¡¯s only 6 months pregnant, but she looks


    like she is ready to pop. I knew it was twins, even though she wanted to keep it under wraps. River


    wasn¡¯t capable of keeping things under wraps with the club, it just came out.


    ¡°Nah, I was just telling Killer he needs to check on my sister while I stay here with Sin,¡± Frost lies cooly


    as Spade enters the room with coffee. Raven eventually leaves the bathroom, but I can tell by her


    serious face something is wrong. She tilts her head, beckoning me outside.


    I follow wordlessly as Hannah checks on Sienna.


    Raven is short, but her deadly demeanor makes her 3 inches taller. She has the body of a warrior,


    broad shoulders, hips, round ass, and legs that have climbed many mountain tops in her days working


    with air force¡¯s extraction team. Too bad she preferred thepany of a woman.


    Her light green eyes are small but get smaller when she¡¯s worried, and the lines around her eyes are


    the only giveaway that she is in herte 30s.


    ¡°River just called. Apparently, Natasha is the one with the problem, not Sienna.¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s lying, Natasha has never done anything dangerous in her life. I find it hard to believe.¡±


    ¡°Well, River said she was beaten up pretty badly and her boyfriend and his friends locked her in her


    room for days. By the time she got out of there, they were gone and left a dead guy in her room. She


    was going to call the police when the said dead guy¡¯s people came to look for him. They beat her up,


    but luckily security came in time. The men left, intending to find her. She was too embarrassed to call


    her dad, so she called Sienna.¡±


    I take a deep breath. This wasn¡¯t good news. Because it meant Sienna was innocent and Natasha is


    Frost¡¯s sister, which meant family, ¡°Fuck.¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t she know Sienna was pregnant? She could have called anyone else,¡± Spade says as he takes a


    few steps closer to us.


    ¡°Don¡¯t know, but for all your bitching to Frost, looks like missy over here is in fact an innocent bystander


    and a brave one at that to risk the life of her baby and herself for one person.¡±


    ¡°Natasha isn¡¯t just a person, they are practically sisters.¡±


    ¡°There is more, well, one more thing,¡± Raven informs us with a not so amused smile.


    ¡°The dead man''s people, well they are bikers, The Chainsaw MC.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve had a few run-ins with them over the years. They are 1% ers. They not that bad unless you fuck


    with their own,¡± Spade says as he touches his neck with his index finger.


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Maybe we can set up a meeting and see if we can calm things down with the Prez. I¡¯m sure they want


    something,¡± I tell them.


    ¡°Get River to do it,¡± Spade suggests.


    ¡°Nah, get Frost to do the talking. She is good with her words, and well, a man is always more favorable


    to a woman¡¯s wants than a man¡¯s needs,¡± Raven interjects.


    And she has a point, my sister knows how to get what she wants. It was all those psychology books


    she¡¯s been reading since she was a kid.


    ¡°I¡¯ll chat with Frost, in the meantime, see if Zero can get more information about these Chainsaws. I¡¯ll


    do my own investigation once we know more. Spade, you stay the night with Sienna. Frost and I need


    to have a brief chat with Natasha.¡± What I wanted to know was what she was doing with these men in


    the first ce. The entire thing didn¡¯t sit well with me. The club didn¡¯t need another war on their hands.


    And if I have to take out the Chainsaws one by one, that was something I could live with.


    Hannah walks out of the room, smiling as her brown eyes quirk at me, ¡°I hear you were quite the baby


    daddy tonight, delivering your son and all.¡± She winks at me and walks away before I say a word.


    Not that I was going to say shit. I never cared what people said, their actions however sometimes


    ended with my knuckles in their faces. But Hannah was River¡¯s woman. And I didn¡¯t hit all women, just


    the bad ones who tried to kill me in the past.


    I grip the edge on top of the doorway, and my eyes stay on my sister, not looking at the sleeping


    woman in the bed.


    ¡°Does medical cover these rooms?¡± Raven asks as Spade snorts.


    ¡°Fuck no, they only make these ces for Mayors, and the high lifers from Liston Hills,¡± Spade says,


    and my mouth gets tight as Kylie¡¯s face goes from mildly amused to dead in a matter of seconds.


    ¡°Sorry, Frost,¡± Spade apologizes with a grimace.


    I knew she put it on my bill and signed my name, and I didn¡¯t give a fuck. I had more money than the


    two of us could ever want with adding the extra¡¯s my sister threw away like dust whenever she splurged


    or decided to be a fairy godmother and help people.


    ¡°Come on, we need to get to Natasha. Spade will stay with Sienna. I¡¯ll fill you in on the way.¡±


    ¡°Raven, let River know we on our way, gather the club, prospects included.¡±


    ¡°Sure thing, VP,¡± Raven says.


    The three of us walk out of the ward, Frost winks at the nurse staring at us.


    Once we get into the 4x4, I fill Frost on what¡¯s going on and she doesn¡¯t react, or explode, merely looks


    out the window. I turn my head a few times to stare at her; I know she is thinking about calling her


    father, but for many reasons, she can¡¯t.


    What she did, had a major impact on her rtionship with Marcus, and although he loves his daughter


    until her 5 years were up, his hands were tied.


    He had to show face to protect her from any fallbacks. She killed my father¡¯s son, and my dad wanted


    revenge. The only thing protecting Frost was her link to the club and her separation from her father.


    TRUTH is, if it ever came down to it, even with my unfeeling soul, I am not sure if I had it in me to kill


    my father.


    Frost knew that, and she also knew that she couldn¡¯t do it either. So for now we settled on the no


    contact rule. But there woulde a day where she would have to confront the circumstances of her


    choices. I knew she missed my brothers, David, Michael and Jace especially. But I think she just


    missed Liston Hills and thefort of home. Frost was never meant for this rough life. She was born to


    marry a man that spent his days in an office and his evenings with his family. Life doesn¡¯t turn out the


    way predict it, but I always believe we can change our path and make our own life.


    ¡°I¡¯ll call him if I have to,¡± I tell her, and she nods once in agreement. We park inside the parking lot of


    the Clubhouse. Frost is the first one to jump out, storming toward the Clubhouse doors. The rain has


    stopped, but the puddle of water is deep and sshes as I follow her, with Raven in tow.

 Chapter 14 (Killer)

    Chapter 14 (Killer)


    River is waiting by the door, and the look he gives me isn¡¯t something I feel like deciphering just yet.


    ¡°All here?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°Yeah, got the girl in the room, keeping busy,¡± He says wondering what the fuck I want to talk about.


    I give a chin lift to Knight, Zero, and Snake who must have just got back.


    The entire Clubhouse scatters around the lounge area, After and Mercy standing by the back wall. Bull,


    Snake and Zero taking the 4 seater on the left. Whisp, Venus and the other woman take the 3 seater


    on the right.


    Frost takes position next to Storm, but Texas walks inst and easily maneuvers the two of them, so


    Kylie is standing next to him. Smart move, brother.


    ¡°So, as many of you have heard, we have Frost¡¯s sister in the room upstairs. A dead biker and his


    angry club on our backs. I¡¯m not going to go into too much detail about it, but we need to handle this


    shit soon and swiftly. If we take them all out, then so be it. We can¡¯t afford another war on our backs.¡±


    Everybody looks at each other, because they already gathered that. I leave them to settle in with the


    information, and Zero is the first one to get up.


    ¡°Zero, stop, we not done.¡±


    ¡°What else is there?¡± He asks ying with his scar.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid it gets much worse than that. What I am about to tell you is ssified information, but since it


    is all our heads on the table, I decided we all should vote on this, prospects too.¡±


    I hear the few whispers and ignore them.


    ¡°This meeting isn¡¯t about Natasha, it¡¯s about Sienna, the woman with the baby.¡±


    ¡°What about her? She is innocent,¡± Frost says, as she res at me.


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Unfortunately not, Sienna is far from innocent. I believe that the baby is Gabriel DeMarco¡¯s which


    means he¡¯ll eventually want his kid once he¡¯s out of prison,¡± I say.


    ¡°But how is that called for an issue? Gabriel isn¡¯t a bad person, I doubt he¡¯ll be a bad baby daddy,¡±


    Frost interjects.


    ¡°No, but he would not be happy when he learned his baby momma killed his Uncle and brother and


    even if he is okay with it, Marco Catelli won¡¯t be. A man like that lets nothing slide.¡±


    ¡°You are lying, you just want her gone because you can¡¯t stand the fact she chose a world without us in


    it. You cared for her and maybe you chased her away but you wanted her toe back, well guess


    what brother, she came back.¡±


    ¡°No,¡± I shake my head slowly and if I had pitied someone, I would feel it for my sister.


    ¡°She killed them because they posed a threat to someone she cares about, that is Sienna, selfish and


    always looking out for her own interest.¡±


    ¡°We had issues with the Catelli¡¯s before why do they have to be our allies, DeMarco is not as powerful


    as they once were, and Marco isn¡¯t going to start another war when he¡¯s just finishing one,¡± Knight


    says, anding from him I understand his anger. He was once a part of their n until they pushed


    him out.


    ¡°How do you even know it is his kid?¡± Mercy asks.


    I think of the note I saw in her car, and while I never read the entire thing, I remember thest part.


    ¡°Sienna and Gabriel have a long history, 6 years ago the two got together to cover up a wrong. Lets


    just say they were like a Bonnie and Clyde scenario,¡± Frost¡¯s eyes go distant, and I know she is


    remembering the months following her stint in hell.


    ¡°So what it is you want us to vote on?¡±


    ¡°iming the boy, and handing her over to Gabriel,¡± I say, and I know my reasoning isn¡¯t much to go


    on, but I can¡¯t tell them the truth about who she really is.


    That is Sienna¡¯s story to tell. I promised Marcus I would take the knowledge to my grave and keep


    Diamond safe, even from Sienna.


    ¡°Abso fucking lutely not. I am voting no,¡± After says and the rest of the woman follow suite, the men


    look split.


    ¡°No, she doesn¡¯t seem guilty enough to throw her to the dogs,¡± Zero adds.


    ¡°I say no, I know Gabriel and he isn¡¯t the fucking prince in armor boy he once was,¡± Knight says.


    ¡°Why is he even in prison?¡± Venus asks looking all innocent.


    ¡°A shipment of theirs got busted, and they were looking for someone to me. As part of his initiation


    as Capo to the DeMarco n, he pleaded guilty. They found no evidence, so he got 2 years,¡± Zero


    informs them.


    ¡°Why do we always get the women who belong to some fucking Mafia? Why can¡¯t we get a normal


    damsel in distress, like that Harlow girl?¡± Snake voices.

 Chapter 15 (Killer)

    Chapter 15 (Killer)


    ¡°Sienna is no damsel in distress, she is as bad as the man she opened her legs to,¡± I tell them.


    River steps forward, ¡°That is enough, we aren¡¯t feeding her to the dogs. Marcus Bray just offered us 1


    mill plus expenses to keep Natasha safe and an extra 2 to keep Sienna alive.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you 5 to tell him to fuck off,¡± I say.


    ¡°No, frankly I think she is just a scared girl that made poor decisions,¡± He looks at me, and his eyes


    deliberately go to Kylies, which is a p in the face.


    They won¡¯t listen to reason, and while we vote, all of them apart from Texas votes for her to stay. It¡¯s


    their necks, because I have a strong suspicion that Sienna wasn¡¯t here just to save her cousin, she is


    here for a reason that has nothing to do with Natasha and everything to do with finding Diamond.


    If Sienna was right all those years back and she didn¡¯t know where the file was, then it meant in


    Diamonds Labyrinth mind she knew. And if Sienna was in contact with her actual father, which she


    was, finding that file would implicate not just Marcus but my father. I couldn¡¯t let that happen.


    ¡°You guys are making a mistake,¡± I tell them, but no one seems to hear me.


    I head outside to the porch as the club scatters about.


    Texas walks over to me, and hands me a corona, ¡°All those years passed I never questioned what


    happened that night, but a fucking nose job, new hair and contacts never swayed me from


    remembering a face. If what you say is true, I¡¯m taking it as a need to know basis, but before I join


    whatever it is I¡¯m joining, I need to know one thing from you boy,¡± He says.


    If it were anyone else, I would know what they were going to ask, but Texas is a lot like me. We were


    both special cases when we joined the army, and then the Special Forces, but our considerable age


    gap made us generations APART.


    The brother wasn¡¯t old, but he was old enough to be considered an adult when Sienna and DIAMOND


    walked into our lives.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    ¡°Is that girl as bad as you just made her out to be?¡± Texas asks me.


    ¡°No,¡± I already know the answer to that without even thinking about it, it wasn¡¯t Sienna¡¯s ways that


    made her so bad.


    ¡°But add in her father, and the DeMarco¡¯s and you got a very dangerous woman,¡± I tell him in all


    honesty.


    ¡°Why do you say that, brother?¡± He sips his drink, ¡°Surely, if she was lured away, she¡¯ll be different.¡±


    ¡°Not when you put a shadow and a girl who wants her identity back in the sameke.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t follow.¡±


    I stare at Texas as he lifts his hat, a sign he actually gives a fuck. Well, he must, he was there.


    ¡°Years ago, she confronted her sister, and begged her to believe she was alive. Marcus did a fucking


    clean job faking the kid¡¯s death, and Sienna was cool with it, on condition she got to know her sister


    from afar. And she did, but the cost came too high when her baby sister didn¡¯t even remember she had


    a sister. Diamond¡¯s mind blocked her past out. It was too traumatic for her, so she remembered only


    the new her.¡±


    ¡°But they were never really sisters, were they?¡± Texas says.


    ¡°No, and that was something Marcus never shared with Sienna until that day. When she found out that


    Diamond was actually reunited with her actual father, Sienna went into a tailspin and tried to kill him.


    Frost jumped in and Sienna knocked her out cold, Diamond took a de and stabbed her. The entire


    thing was a fuck show.¡±


    ¡°So what happened?¡±


    ¡°Marcus called me, and I kicked her out. She stayed on the other side of the track in Liston Hills until


    herst exams, then I found her and made her leave. She stayed at her stepmother¡¯s ce she


    inherited in Monte Carlo for a few a few months, and then she vanished for a good number of years


    until she popped up again, to visit Marcus, 6 years ago. He insisted she stay, but the next day she was


    gone. And then a few years back I saw her name on Frost¡¯s visit sheet at the pen. I asked her what


    Sienna wanted, but she brushed it off as a family visit. I tracked her down a few times, but she can


    elude anyone. She left false trails everywhere. Never quite figured out where she went to.¡±


    ¡°You think she is looking for the file?¡±


    ¡°I know she is looking for something, the question is who the fuck is Sienna working for, because I


    know Natasha¡¯s drama was just the excuse she needed to worm her way back into my sister¡¯s life. If it


    is her father, I¡¯ll slit his throat in front of her before I let him get that file or Diamond.¡±


    ¡°Maybe giving her something else she wants would be a good idea. Women like things handed to them


    on a tter,¡± Texas says as he takes a step forward. I TAKE a long pull of my beer. His advice is


    brilliant.


    ¡°La¡¯s quiet, too quiet.¡± His observation is correct. For a man who wanted blood, he wasn¡¯t hunting


    for it.


    The night leaves the stains of the storm in the air, and every inhale is a reminder that the storm has


    only dried up for now. I don¡¯t tell Texas that Sienna is not like the other women; she loves the chase.


    Nor do I tell him that La wasn¡¯t done with us.


    I think about Frost¡¯s words. I never wanted Sienna toe back, I wanted her gone forever. Maybe


    once upon a time I wanted her to make the choice and choose us, ande crawling back. It would


    have made things much easier. But she didn¡¯t.


    She chose a new life, and although I would never understand the mechanics of the heart, I understand


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    her need to feel epted. I think Gabriel DeMarco made her feel epted, and for that reason she


    stayed with him. I guess that eptance went so far when his father and Uncle posed a threat to her


    sister.


    Tomorrow a few visits were in order.


    I finish my beer and stay with Texas as he rolls his weed and smokes it. I stay away from Natasha,


    leaving her to my sister.


    Frost always thought there was something there, and maybe there is, but only because she reminds


    me of someone else.


    I get to bed and that night I eventually shut my mind down, but not before remembering the girl who


    haunts me in the deepest, darkest recesses of my mind.


    ¡°Please Kevin, don¡¯t do this, please,¡± She begs as my grip on her arm remains unyielding as I drag her


    to the car. Her eyes, big and scared, pleading.


    ¡°You are like a cancer that eats on everything you touch,¡± I scream at her as the rain pours.


    ¡°Please, don¡¯t do this.¡±


    ¡°Save your breath Taylor, you will never win with me,¡±


    ¡°Where am I SUPPOSED to go?¡±


    ¡°You will figure it out,¡± I tell her, with no emotion, because I feel nothing. I don¡¯t feel a single thing as I


    open the car door and shove her inside the driver¡¯s seat. Her begging goes deaf in my ears. But if only


    that was true, if only I could forget the girl who made me forget I wasn¡¯t normal. She made it real.

 Chapter 16 (Sienna)

    Chapter 16 (Sienna)


    The beeping sound, bright lights and unmistakable smell is more than enough to tell me where I am.


    The emptiness in my stomach is the icing on the cake.


    Brown eyes, and that deep Southern twang filters in my mind, weed. My cousin Kylie is always a


    wee.


    What had me not opening my eyes and rethinking my rushed flight to survive decision is the intense,


    ice man with frozen blue shards that colored his irises. His sculpted face was always sharp around the


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    edges.


    And I remember him growing up, when he looked at me, it was with nothing so much as a brief second


    of irritation. Some things never change, and Kevin Stone is one of them.


    ¡°I know you up,¡± The voice that says that is unfamiliar, but I flutter my eyes open and directly across


    from me stands a woman with dark long brown hair, a white coat that covers what looks like a bump.


    ¡°6 months. But I wish I was in your ce right about now. The suspense is killing me.¡± She smiles as


    she lifts the iPad to her vision, jotting down notes.


    The urge to tell her she didn''t want to be me is a string that wants toe out, but I bite my tongue. A


    few days ago I wouldn''t have been able to shut my mouth, let alone bite my tongue.


    ¡°My baby?¡± I ask, hesitant and scared. Did my baby survive?


    She smiles and looks next to me. I follow her gaze and in a small cubicle wrapped in a blue nket is


    my boy. My heart drops with relief.


    She goes to lift him and brings him to me; I take my baby in my arms and look down into his small, tiny


    face.


    My mother died when I was barely just a teenager, and my uncle Marcus Bray took me in. I was a brat


    then, the worst of the worst but he loved me, anyway. When I called him nine months ago to tell him I


    was pregnant and I didn''t want my baby he said, I will. He told I will love my baby regardless of


    anything because my momma loved me, regardless and he loved me too.


    My eyes well up as I look into his close up wrinkled face.


    Today I understand my Uncle¡¯s words, my love is bursting. I lift his small body to my nose and inhale


    his scent as he stirs.


    His voice opens in a howl, and my eyes go wide. I look at Frost, and she smiles putting her magazine


    down, and then at the Doctor who chuckles.


    ¡°You need to feed him, your milk will be watery for now, but it wille through fully after a day or two.¡±


    I lift my top to give him milk, aware that Kevin is in the room. How can I not be when he is covered in


    leather, tattoos and piercings?


    My boytches onto my nipple, and I flinch at the small but hard suction. I am in awe at his little mouth


    and cheeks suctioning the milk from my body. Tiny fingers peak out from the nket but move little


    besides a brief stretch as his fingers go into little fists.


    I focus on his brief movements and watch him drink, feed himself from my body as it hits me with full


    force that this little man is mine to protect, mine to raise and care for.


    My heart swells in love and a deep-rooted need to protect him from everyone sails over me. Hide him


    away so no one would make him cry, or sad.


    I have always wanted someone to call my own, and from a young age I went looking for it in all the


    wrong ces. Wrong people. Including Gabriel. When I found out I was pregnant I was scared, and


    then Gabriel told me he was going to prison. I never wanted him to plead guilty, but what I wanted went


    deaf in his ears. So much for love and happily ever after.


    When his father found out I was pregnant, he wasn¡¯t happy, so I made an informed decision and took


    my chances and got the hell out of there.


    For the months that followed I considered leaving my baby at someone¡¯s doorstep, my Aunt Hunters to


    be exact.


    Now here he is, and I know I¡¯m not letting him go.


    ¡°What are you going to name him?¡± That deep, impersonal, silent, deadly tone ends my small joy.


    ¡°I don''t know.¡± I spent so long keeping him safe, running away, that I didn''t even think about that. I was


    more worried about saving our asses. Never did I consider he¡¯ll one day need a name.


    ¡°No pissy names. He''s a tough boy, got your lungs,¡± Kevin says as he stares at my boy drinking his


    milk.


    ¡°Whatever she names him will not make a difference. He already has his club name.¡± My cousin walks


    closer as I lift my boy off my breast and position him to the other one.


    ¡°And what name might that be?¡± I bite my lip as I suppress the urge to call her Ky. Uncle Marcus


    warned me when I called him all those months ago. It was now almost 4 years after I watched my


    beautiful cousin get shoved into the back of a cop car from the television screen. Kylie wasn''t our Kylie,


    she was Frost.


    Now, as I lift my eyes to stare at my cousin with the big smile and keen brown eyes, I can see the ice


    she hides. Killing the man you love to save another doesn''te without a cost of your soul, I know


    that better than anyone.


    ¡°Wrecker, he wrecked our quiet night, wrecked my new carpet and wrecked our hearts,¡± She winks at


    me.


    ¡°Have you seen the video? Spade took it to give Killer shit but I think you will enjoy it,¡± She moves


    closer to me and gives my baby a brief yet familiar nce before she ces her jean covered ass on


    the bed next to me. Her rich honey and the intoxicating scent is familiar and gives me a sense of peace


    as I look at the screen of her phone and watch the video.


    I see Kevin cut my stomach open and tear it. I cringe as the wound beats with remembrance. The


    sound is inaudible as my baby howls. I look down at my boy and I can still feel him sucking on my


    nipples. It stings, and I remember from the bit of reading I did when I found out I was pregnant this


    feeding was going to be a painful one in a few days.

 Chapter 17 (Killer)

    Chapter 17 (Killer)


    ¡°Since you delivered him, why don''t you name him?¡± Sienna says and a small smile ys on my lips.


    ¡°If you insist,¡± I say as Frost rolls her eyes, already knowing what I did. We¡¯ve surpassed visiting hours


    at the hospital and I can admit, I have enjoyed the time I had holding the baby.


    He looks like he was going to be a handful. Venus, After, Mercy and Whisp came around 1 pm to see


    them and brought a new outfit for him. They gushed and carried him, Mercy and After fighting for the


    couldn¡¯t be too long without sustenance. Spade, Knight and River came for a visit, bringing Sienna


    some cake and fresh clothes. She was getting discharged around 3 this afternoon. The two of us had


    lots to talk about.


    ¡°Yes, I insist,¡± She doesn''t look at me, which is strange, but I let it slide when my phone rings.


    ¡°Yo didn''t know you can deliver babies,¡± The rough voice on the other end says.


    ¡°Now you do. Found anything?¡±


    ¡°Nope, but we got a lead, Jade¡¯s getting antsy, how''s my kid?¡± Beggar asks as I get up off the chair I¡¯m


    sitting on and move outside the room.


    ¡°She''s keeping the brothers busy. Knight is permanently at your ce.¡± Since the club started having


    babies, we bought theplex space a mile away from the Clubhouse. It wasn''t something the other


    Chapters did. But with La Sanati still alive, we weren''t taking any chances with the kids. Zero,


    Beggar and young Talin lived in one house and the Prez and his girls in another.


    The ce was heavily guarded, and the town knew that if they trespassed, we would shoot to kill. No


    questions to be asked.


    ¡°I''ll be home in a week, Jade and I got a pin,¡± She clips off the phone, not willing to talk more than she


    has to.


    Beggar and Jade were hunting down a killer for one of our clients. Zero let her go on the hunts, it¡¯s who


    she is. You can''t tame a wild beast, let it go free, tire it out. The brother finally figured that out. Took him


    Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    a few years too.


    Zero finally grew a pair after Talin was born and decided no more tours for him. I was proud of the


    asshole for doing right by her. He was content to stay in Ka and look after his kid, but I knew he was


    also tired of the waiting game with La. He wanted this shit done more than his wife.


    I walk back into the room and watch my sister, who might be known as Frost. But even she had


    emotion in her. It is clear as she rocks the newborn in her arms.


    ¡°I doubt he¡¯ll give us any hassle, we should do some online shopping and get all the stuff delivered so


    we can set up a room for you,¡± Frost tells Sienna, and I watch Sienna¡¯s face go from bliss to worry.


    ¡°I¡¯m not staying too long. A few things should be sufficient,¡± Sienna says, and that doesn¡¯t resonate well


    with me.


    ¡°Your cousin should be allowed to spend some time with her nephew, surely you aren¡¯t in a rush,¡± I say


    and she looks at me, and it¡¯s the first time I see her light green eyes in 20 years. She¡¯s still the same


    girl, maybe jaded, but still the same girl.


    She looks at Frost and whatever she sees brings a smile to her face, ¡°Of course, I can stay for a while.¡±


    Frost lifts the baby as she stands, ¡°Then it¡¯s settled, we can set you up in the room next to mine. That


    way we can have turns when he cries.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s on the 3rd floor,¡± Venus says, walking in with Bull. The brother has buffed up more since he


    gave up his weed and started taking on more jobs. His bald head is covered with a hat which he takes


    off and puts on the empty chair next to the door. He gives me a chin lift.


    ¡°There¡¯s a bathroom there. What else could she need?¡± Frost queries with a glint in her eyes. I¡¯m not


    entirely sure about the beef between the two women, and I didn¡¯t want to be sure. Which is the reason I


    never found out.


    ¡°To get up and down the stairs, have a breather. Kids can be a handful,¡± Venus exins, but it goes


    deaf IN Frost¡¯s ears.


    ¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m there, to help, plus she needs to get the exercise, Sienna¡¯s ass has always been huge,¡±


    Frost argues. I should tell Venus she will not win, which is the reason I say nothing.


    ¡°Jesus christ Cuz, can you be more discreet,¡± Sienna snaps.


    ¡°Ag, please, bitch your ass is big, add in that pregnancy fat, I bet it¡¯s doubled in size, but don¡¯t worry,


    Spade will train you up and work on those glutes,¡± Frost informs her, and I grin shaking my head as


    Venus rolls her eyes.


    ¡°As a matter of fact, I happen to like my ass the way it is. Don¡¯t be red eyeing what you always wanted,¡±


    Sienna snipes and Frost shuts her mouth with a smile and it is then I know my sister was really just


    hoping to get a small taste of the old Sienna back.


    The two always knew how to work the other one up. Sometimes blood was only thick, it wasn¡¯t binding.


    ¡°Is Natasha alright?¡± Sienna asks, and she¡¯s looking at me, but I have no idea since I didn¡¯t see her. I


    left early this morning to check on Talin and give Knight a heads up that we were leaving for Seattle


    tomorrow evening.


    ¡°She¡¯s good honey, waiting patiently for you two to get out of here, so she can meet her nephew,¡±


    Venus answers and I watch Sienna¡¯s eyes skitter to me for a moment and I wonder what¡¯s going on in


    her head.


    ¡°She didn¡¯t know I was pregnant, you know. I never told many people,¡± Sienna informs us, and maybe if


    I had some emotion it would soften my wariness toward her, but I don¡¯t feel. So I say nothing.


    ¡°She told us, but that is all minor stories. The club will protect her. In the meantime, worry about getting


    Mister overhear out of this ce and home. Hannah gave me a briefing of your dressings,¡± Frost goes


    into full action.


    Since she spoke to Natasha she has avoided hearing about it. But I knew she would have to brief us at


    churchter tonight.

 Chapter 18 (Killer)

    Chapter 18 (Killer)


    ¡°Who¡¯s Hannah?¡± Sienna queries.


    ¡°Dr Stiles, pregnantdy.¡±


    ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t know you knew her,¡± Sienna looks at Frost for an exnation.


    ¡°She¡¯s our club President, River¡¯s wife. Their daughter is going to marry Aron when he gets older, I just


    know it,¡± Venus says.


    ¡°They too young to worry about that shit,¡± Bull says, and I watch closely as Sienna looks at him sitting


    by the sofa.


    She smiles warmly at him and I know she saw him and noticed him the moment he walked through the


    door because that is Sienna. Her attention is attuned to everyone and everything in the room.


    ¡°Yeah, I doubt that. The two would probably bite each other¡¯s heads off. Have you seen them fight?¡±


    Frost queries.


    ¡°That¡¯s how you know,¡± Venus says.


    ¡°Well, clearly, your idea of a happily ever after and mine is like using a chalk stick to light a fire,


    useless,¡± Frost says.


    ¡°Can I hold the guy?¡± Bull asks, and Frost walks over to him and hands him the baby. His face softens


    and I am sure it brings back memories of his own life and what could have been. Maybe there is still


    hope for him yet.


    ¡°Hey little man, you got a fucking roar on you,¡± Bull tells the baby, and my eyes dart to Sienna who says


    nothing about him swearing.


    ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that, I¡¯m going to swear like a sailor, he might as well learn now,¡± She says to me.


    ¡°At least you honest,¡± Bull says as his enormous arms nestle the baby to his chest.


    ¡°So you got a name for him or what?¡± Venus asks, and Frost rolls her eyes again.


    ¡°Oh, I¡¯m sure he does,¡± She says.


    I named him this morning, and I already signed the forms off, but to ease Sienna¡¯s mind I asked


    Hannah to send her some forms, to make her feel important.


    Frost¡¯s phone rings and she looks at the screen, frowning before answering it, ¡°Speak,¡± She says and


    waits for whoever it is. Her face goes all serious and she huffs, ¡°I got you, we¡¯ll head that way now.¡±


    Frost signals Bull and Venus.


    Bull hands me the baby and I take him, as Frost walks out the door, still on the phone.


    ¡°Wonder what¡¯s that about,¡± Sienna voices out as she moves around.


    ¡°Probably club business,¡± I look down at the baby in my arms, and his eyes, which I heard can¡¯t see


    much of anything, look at me dead centre.


    I move closer to Sienna, and take a seat on the bottom of her bed, as she fusses around.


    ¡°I really need to pee,¡± She says after more shaking.


    ¡°You need help getting up?¡± I ask, already knowing she does, but wanting her to say it for some


    unnamed reason.


    She groans and gives a frustrated grunt.


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Can you please make yourself useful and call a nurse?¡±


    ¡°Since you said please,¡± I say as I take the baby and put him in his crib. I turn and pull the nket off.


    Sienna res at me, ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m helping you, now stop whining,¡± I tell her as I LIFT her and bend with her in my arms so she can


    stand.


    I wordlessly let her get to her feet. Her gown is closed at the back, but it doesn¡¯t hide the shape of her


    ass.


    And yes, Sienna has always had a round firm ass that I¡¯m sure many men have looked at and fallen


    hard for as she left them in the dust. Because one thing I knew for sure was she never jumped in with


    just anyone.


    She saunters to the bathroom, and I watch her, as her hair falls her back, knotted, from all her twisting


    and turning. I should help her, but she¡¯s going to have to walk sooner thanter. My phone beeps with a


    text.


    I slip it out of my pants,


    River: We just got word that The Chainsaw MC, are offering a bounty on Natasha¡¯s head. Sent Frost


    and Bull to check out how legit this shit is. Going to need you on this.


    Me: Cool


    I slide my phone back in my pocket as I hear the toilet flush, and soon after the water. My body is stiff


    and I am tense by the time Sienna gets back. I help her into the bed and take a quick look at the crib.


    She frowns at me, ¡°Is everything alright?¡±


    I consider lying, but I give it to her straight and watch as her own worried frown emerges.


    ¡°We need to tell them it wasn¡¯t her fault, there must be something we can do, talk to them? We can¡¯t


    just allow them to get away with this,¡± She voices.


    ¡°That¡¯s the n, but if they dead set on this turning ugly, I¡¯m afraid ugly is what it¡¯s going to be.¡±


    Her eyes slide to her baby and I know she is concerned about his safety, and it is more than Natasha¡¯s


    drama, there is something Sienna isn¡¯t telling us. Good thing I¡¯m a patient man.


    ¡°I thought they said I¡¯m leaving at 3? It¡¯s almost 4,¡± She says.


    ¡°I¡¯ll get it sorted,¡± I stop at the door, and look at her, ¡°Can you do me a favor?¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Call me Killer.¡± I walk out of the room and get the shit sorted.

 Chapter 19 (Sienna)

    Chapter 19 (Sienna)


    ¡°You can sign here, and your driver will be here any minute now,¡± Hannah says as she hands me the


    cap for the pen with her free hand.


    ¡°Got a name for him yet?¡±


    ¡°Kaleb Marcus Stone,¡± That deep voice has me gritting my teeth, but I say nothing. He got everything


    sorted out. And even though it is almost 5 in the afternoon, I am d to get my kid out of this ce.


    ¡°Hey Kills, thought you were heading out with River and Spade was getting Sienna?¡± Hannah says as


    she lifts little Kaleb to her nose.


    ¡°You thought wrong. Sienna and I need to catch up, don''t we, Sienna?¡± My pulse kicks in as I shiver at


    the cold promise in his voice. A killer. I must remember he is a killer.


    Hannah must not sense the double meaning and vow in his lethal voice, but even the 10 years since I


    have allowed him to see me cannot take away that knowing.


    How could it, when this guy that is standing by the doorway of my hospital room door, dressed in ck


    leather pants, a thin Henley cotton top, tattoos from his neck to his fingers, ck earrings, piercings on


    his brow and blue eyes that promise you a wild night but also a gruesome ending has been the focus of


    my obsession since I was a little girl? He was my hero and as I got older; it grew into something more.


    It cut deep when I found out at my sweet sixteen that Kevin Stone will never return my feelings


    because he was unfeeling. The young prodigy.


    Now I am a 28-year-old woman, pretending to be younger than what I truly am, and he is the person I


    want to be the furthest away from.


    He takes my son from Hannah and the baby bag goes next. I smile at the wrongness of the picture.


    The badass biker with a kid.


    ¡°I didn''t know you were a Stone,¡± Hannah says as she rubs her protruding belly.


    ¡°I''m a Bray,¡± I tell her.


    ¡°Kid is safer with a different surname,¡± Killer interjects.


    ¡°You realize that Hannah is talking to me, Sienna, who has a mouth to talk. As you can obviously hear.¡±


    ¡°Was wondering when the little demon was going to y.¡±


    ¡°Wonder no more,¡± I snap. I know I am groggy since I have waited thest hour to get out of here. And


    while the CLUBHOUSE doesn¡¯t seem like the ideal baby destination, it is the safest for us now.


    Hannah smirks but says nothing as I hand her the discharge papers signed and sealed.


    ¡°Can I hold my baby now?¡± I ask Killer, but we all know it isn''t really a question.


    ¡°No, let''s move,¡± His blunt response has me rolling my eyes, typical Stone behaviour.


    We get into the elevator and Killer presses the ground button.


    ¡°I would think with the price of hospital care they¡¯d install a voice controller in the elevator by now.¡±


    ¡°I would think with me being Kaleb¡¯s mother, you¡¯d give me him to me to hold by now.¡±


    ¡°Too bad it¡¯s just a thought. He isfortable in a man¡¯s arm.¡± His words sober my lulled mood easily.


    Anyeback mute as we get to the ground floor.


    Gabriel wouldn¡¯t have this. His need to be a crime boss always overshadowed his desire to have


    a life with me. It was the reason I left so many times. Why I kept going back was something I still don¡¯t


    understand. He was cute, and great in the sack, and yes, he was an amazing guy to spend my hours


    with, but he was mean, cold and distant at times. His need for power came at a high cost, and it filtered


    into not just my life but my sons. And I would never forgive him for what he did.


    We get to a big white Range Rover, and inside at the back is a baby seat.


    Killer takes Kaleb, ces him inside, strapping him up.


    I walk to my door and lift my leg to get inside. A sharp pain pokes into my abdomen and I make a funny


    noise.


    Big firm hands hold me on my back, cupping my waist.


    ¡°Easy now, you lost a lot of blood, so you got to take it easy for a few days,¡± His voice is so close to my


    neck I can feel his breath on my naked flesh. He¡¯s a killer, remember that.


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    ¡°Can you lift me up?¡± I ask, not my proudest moment. But I would live, and I really needed to get to a


    bed, my stomach was throbbing. It feels like my insides were going toe out.


    He doesn¡¯t answer but lifts me up into the car and closes the door. I am d they have already


    dropped the seat, as it gives me a reprieve from sitting up.


    ¡°Don¡¯t have babies,¡± I tell Killer as he gets into the car.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have a womb. So the point is mute.¡± He starts the car and maybe it¡¯s the relief from leaving the


    hospital, or the fact I was starting a whole new adventure, but his answer just makes meugh and I


    do, Iugh. It¡¯s kind of freeing after all these months, hiding out and shoving my stomach with fast


    foods.


    My baby cries, and I p a hand on my mouth. My eyes are wide with equal parts panic and distress.


    Killer surprises me when he grins and shakes his head, ¡°Kaleb doesn¡¯t like his momma¡¯sugh.¡± My


    heart constricts at the sound of momma, I never thought I would hear that word from someone¡¯s mouth


    let alone this mans.


    The car is automatic and I watch Killer¡¯s hand as it goes to the back, and although I CAN¡¯T twist, I


    know he is patting Kaleb. My heart swells.


    ¡°Well, that isn¡¯t working,¡± Killer says as we turn the corner, and he gets onto a long stretch of road,


    while Kaleb howls to the moon. My boy has a set of lungs.


    ¡°What are we going to do?¡± I ask him, since he is so calm.


    ¡°Well, normally when Beggar is with Talin and she cries, she puts the music on,¡± He says and puts the


    radio on.


    James Arthur, quite miss home ys on the radio.


    And my heart constricts, remembering a few months ago when I spoke to Uncle Marcus, and this song


    yed. My voice captures the words and I sing. My mood grows dim as Kaleb quietens down and I


    close my eyes, remembering Liston Hills.

 Chapter 20 (Sienna)

    Chapter 20 (Sienna)


    If I was ever to describe home to Kaleb, Uncle Marcus and his long Sunday cooking lessons would be


    just one story I would describe to my kid. My uncle made the best mint and chocte croissants ever.


    And Kylie¡¯s bike lessons and years of mayhem would be another. Kylie taught me to ride a motorbike,


    she would get lessons from Killer and she would teach me.


    Diamond¡¯s crazy experiments and heated arguments with Kylie would be the highlight of his days,


    when I told him how Diamond threw Kylie in the pool during the middle of winter. And my favorite, our


    bike rides along the mountain where we would go so high and justy there until the sun came up, just


    watching if momma was there.


    The song ys, and like its eventual end, my memories fade away. Killer says nothing as we drive to


    the Clubhouse. When we arrive there are at least 20 people outside waiting.


    ¡°They seem like a lot, but really they¡¯re just a bunch of pussies, besides Knight, stay away from him,¡±


    Killer tells me as the gates open and we drive inside.


    ¡°Well, kiddo, wee to your new home,¡± Killer tells Kaleb, and I am wise to say nothing to that


    statement.


    All the people from the Clubhouse crowd us in as we make our way to the door. Killer easily holds


    Kaleb to his chest, allowing all the members to look at my son. It brings a softness to my heart to know


    these scary men and women are cooing at my kid and taking me into their home. A strange woman


    who smashed into their gate and brought a heap of problems with her.


    We eventually get inside and the smell of disinfectant and something akin to cherry blossom hits my


    nose. It is different, but a wee smell.


    By the time I get to the bottom of the steps, my stomach is diforting, and so is myher region as


    it throbs. I fret about bleeding through my clothes if I don¡¯t make it to the bathroom in time. River, the


    club president I met earlier today, walks over to me and lifts me up, without even offering. I hold on to


    his neck.


    ¡°Thank you so much,¡± I tell the hulk of a man with greying hair.


    He looks to be in his early forties, but I can see life hasn¡¯t been too kind to him. Yet, there is a peaceful


    look in his gaze when he stares at me.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, when Beggar gave birth to Talin, we did this like 20 times a day. She couldn¡¯t handle


    the kid crying for very long, so she¡¯d get one of the women to take Talin and the men to bring her


    downstairs.¡±


    He drops me down when we reach the 2nd set of stairs.


    ¡°Well thanks, but Ky, I mean Frost said I¡¯m staying on the 3rd floor.¡±


    ¡°Frost isn¡¯t the President, and it¡¯s best you stay on the 2nd. We prepped a room for you, 3rd door on


    the right and the one next to yours is empty. So if Frost would like to join, she¡¯s wee in that one.


    Parenting ain¡¯t easy and getting up and down those stairs is fucking difficult, especially when carrying


    65 kilos extra. And no brother in this ce is going to let you do that shit on your own, so let¡¯s make life


    easy, what do you say?¡±


    He winks and turns around, heading back down the stairs without waiting for my reply, which clearly


    tells me he didn¡¯t expect one.


    I meander my way to the room just as I feel a heavy gush of blood run down my legs. I rub them


    together, hoping no blood spilled on the carpet. For a clubhouse, the ce was neat. There was not


    even a stench of smoke in the air.


    The door is open as I get to the room, and I barely have a chance to look around as I rush to the


    bathroom.


    My anxiety drops when I see the 6 packs of utility towels in a shelf stacked one on top of each other.


    ¡°Sin, you alright?¡± Killer asks, knocking on the bathroom door.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine, I just need a moment.¡±


    ¡°I saw the blood on the floor, do you want me to ask¡­¡±


    ¡°I said I¡¯m fine,¡± I snap.


    He is quiet and I think he is gone as I try to clean myself up. The pain in my stomach is not one for the


    feint hearted. I feel like I was butchered and put back together.


    A knock sounds on the door again, and I groan.


    ¡°Go away, Killer. Fuck,¡± I say in annoyance.


    ¡°It¡¯s Hannah sweetheart, can Ie in?¡±


    ¡°Thank god, yes, please.¡± She walks in and closes the door behind her and sees me on the toilet and I


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    must admit it is also not my finest moment, but at this point I am done caring.


    ¡°My stomach is so sore and I can¡¯t stop bleeding and it hurts everywhere.¡±


    She stands there and rubs at her own belly before smiling.


    She walks around and I watch her get wet wipes and hand them to me.


    ¡°This will clean you up quicker, trust me. And the pain you feeling is probably because you opted for no


    meds after birth, which I found when I pulled up your medical details. But I thought you might change


    your mind, so I left something next to your bed that won¡¯t harm Kaleb.¡±


    She stares at me for a bit, and then tightens her mouth, ¡°Lemme help you get cleaned up and I¡¯ll get


    you in bed, and you can get a bit of rest. You are going to need it for the next few days. A single mother


    doesn¡¯t mean you have to do it all on your own.¡±


    I say nothing as she embarrasses me further, and I am mortified, but I really can¡¯t do it on my own. How


    the hell did I expect to have a baby alone? Maybe all those years, my Aunt Hunter forced us to go to


    Sunday church was not in vain, because the lord provided me with a clubhouse full of bounties.


    It takes a while, and eventually I am cleaned up with fresh underwear and a button down night gown to


    make it easier to feed Kaleb.


    Hannah brushes my hair in the bed, telling me about her daughter Jocelyn and all the problems she


    gives her. The girl reminded me of myself. Never a dull moment when Sienna Bray was around.


    ¡°Thank you Hannah,¡± I smile at her, truly grateful. She leaves and I turn on my sidemp to see my new


    temporary bedroom. It¡¯s quiterge, with high wooden beams on the ceiling, and two lights dangling


    from thick chains.


    Around the walls are dark wooden nks giving the white walls a cosy but clean finish. The air in the


    room is clean, the carpet is a light thick beige luxury, perfect in case Kaleb falls, or heaven forbid I


    dropped him. I read up about stories of people who dropped their kids.


    The bed I am lying is a queen-size, with a white leather headboard and matching duvet. Kaleb¡¯s cot is


    set up a distance away. It is a dark oak, wooden cot and looks almost new.


    Around his cot is a feeding chair, changing table, bottles, diapers, a baby bath and tons of toiletries, I


    doubt he would ever finish.


    My door opens slightly and Natasha walks in, her face still messed up from the beating she took, but it


    doesn¡¯t hide her smiling face as she practically pounces in the room and hugs me. I pinch my face in


    pain but hug her back for a bit.


    She stands to her full height and I see the tears in her eyes.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t know you were pregnant, I wouldn¡¯t have¡­¡±


    ¡°Oh,e on, it¡¯s water in the Antic. It was my choice toe. It¡¯s on me. He is safe and sound.


    Well, I hope so because I don¡¯t know where my son is exactly,¡± I tell her as she wipes her eyes with her


    long t-shirt and ruffles her short blue hair. That is Natasha for you, always herself.


    ¡°He¡¯s with the big biker guy, the bald one,¡± She tell me as she crawls over me and hops into my bed.


    ¡°So how does it feel to be a momma bear?¡±


    ¡°Sore. Myher regions are on fire and I didn¡¯t even give birth. It feels like someone took a saw and


    cut me open with a blunt de and then stapled me together after removing all my intestines.¡± Natasha


    We also try to conjure up who he might look like, and although we talk about nothing important, it is


    everything at the same time. Because that is the thing I have always loved about Natasha, is her


    easiness to just be in that moment. Who cares if we were both fucked because we chose the wrong


    men, or if the one was dumber than the other?


    I needed her today and like always she showed up, just like I would. Not only for her but Kylie,


    Diamond and anyone of the people I loved. Because I loved a lot and sometimes love made us do


    stupid things, like rocking up to a crime scene almost 9 months pregnant because my cousin was


    crying and said she needed me.


    Yeah, I had plenty not so glorious moments, but having Kaleb and knowing he is my boy, makes all the


    bad, nothing but a memory.


    ¡°Can I hold you for a bit, Sin?¡± Natasha asks me and my heart breaks for her. We agreed to not tell


    anyone the whole story, the fewer people knew the better.


    ¡°Sure.¡± Natasha helps me in afortable position so I can get some rest and ces her arm over my


    waist. I close my eyes as her familiar arm holds me close. It doesn¡¯t take me long to fall off to sleep.


    ¡°Taylor, do you think I¡¯m normal? I don¡¯t want to be normal,¡± We sit at the park, just 2 minutes¡¯ walk


    from home, mommy and daddy are making hamburgers. They are my favorite part of Fridays.


    ¡°No, why would anyone wanna be normal? It¡¯s boring, Dirk Majori is normal, and he digs his nose,


    Ca from your ss is normal and she smells nasty. Besides, you can¡¯t be normal because you


    rted to me. And Harlin is hardly a normal name.¡± Harlin giggles and drops her head on the ground,


    and I tickle her as she screams.


    It¡¯s so beautiful here, I just want to live here forever. But like always, the man without a facees. He


    stands there with his hand open, waiting for me. I know I have to go to protect Harlin, to protect


    mommy and daddy. He alwayses for me and I always go.

 Chapter 21 (Killer)

    Chapter 21 (Killer)


    Once dinner is out of the way, most of us head to Church. Since the attacks from the Outfit, the Club


    installed better security.


    The basement where we held our club meetings was the only ce that didn''t have an alternative


    security system installed. The room came soundproofed and already installed with top end security. We


    also equipped it with our Clubs food and a few other medical supplies plus ammunition if we ever had


    to use it as a panic room.


    But with almost 17 fully patched members LIVING here, we had to think about extending this ce.


    Because fuck, it was getting full.


    I switch the air conditioner on as River finally settles his ass down. Storm, Bull and Frost were not


    joining us. Since Bull was on baby duty, he was upstairs with Sienna and Natasha. Storm and Frost


    were on their way to meet another client. The trip was a 3 hour drive to the meeting ce. Frost was


    the best one we had when it came to negotiations.


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    "What do we have?" River asks Zero getting straight down to business.


    "Where do I start, they have a rap sheet so long, I''m going to need a week to finish it? Unless some


    brothers are up for a bit of research the next day or so." I watch Zero from my shadowed part of the


    room. He has changed, married life has changed him. The brother was always falling for new women


    when I met him, but all he really wanted was a family to call his own. The Club gave him most of it, and


    when Beggar walked into his life, she filled in the rest. They were both broken and went through a fuck


    load just to be together. At one stage I was convinced Beggar was going to have to stay on the road


    with me, after she killed Zero¡¯s brother. He didn¡¯t deserve her so I didn¡¯t mind at the time, but I saw how


    the distance affected her and although she seemed fine on the outside, she was dying slowly on the


    inside. So I got involved and broke a fuck ton ofws to get her back on this side.


    Turned out well for them.


    Snake and Spade take up his rare, the two looking agreeable to assist him.


    ¡°Email me the file, I¡¯ll start with it,¡± Snake says. His extremely quiet recently. More so since he went


    home. Why he kept going back to Liston Hills boggled my mind. His brother stayed in L. A and his


    parents were the nastiest of scum to walk the.


    Snake and I grew up together, we joined the army together and fuck; we fought together and here we


    are still together. Yet, I never understood his need to be wanted. He reminds me of Sienna. She always


    wanted attention, even if it was getting shouted at, or suspended from school. Growing up, she would


    do something like rece the history teacher¡¯s sk with an identical one that was filled with whiskey.


    And the man was a recovering alcoholic.


    I never understood her deep innate desire to attract attention, but then I never had the emotional


    intelligence to do so. When I joined the army, they taught me how to use other parts of my body, and its


    responses to understand human emotions. It helped a lot when it came to my family. Especially my


    sisters. I still called Victoria like clockwork on a Sunday. She was touring in New York, her band was


    doing well, and she was at the beginnings of Super stardom.


    She never could understand me, so I always smiled with her, cracked a few jokes and gave her a few


    hugs. But Frost, she always knew. From the time I was a boy, and I fell off the tree, my sister knew that


    I was different and like the person she is now, she was then.


    She looked for solutions and ignored the problem. She was my first emotional response teacher and


    while the army taught me that it was okay to not feel, Frost taught me it wasn¡¯t always okay.


    It affected my mother the most, and I always said one day I would marry a woman and give her a few


    grandkids to make her happy. She would definitely get off my back by then.


    ¡°There was something that made little sense when I pulled up The Chainsaw MC, bank records. I¡¯ve


    sent all of you a copy. ording to Natasha she only met up these guys a few weeks back, on the 3rd


    of February, it was two days before that, did I notice a ratherrge deposit made its way to their


    ount. 500k, to be exact. That¡¯s a lot of dough for a 36 member club to collect when previously the


    most they ever got in one deposit was 80k. I¡¯ve been trying to follow the trail, but it¡¯s going to take me a


    day. Whoever made the deposit doesn¡¯t want to be found, I might even have to get Michael Stone to


    help with this.¡±


    "I''ll give you 18 hours, get Chadley and Talin to sleep here if they want to or I''ll send one of the brothers


    to be an extra for the evening," River says and Zero agrees.


    An extra was another word for keeping Chadley sane. We patched Chadley in a year ago. We decided


    we¡¯ll keep her as our home girl. She wasn¡¯t cut out for the hard life and after she got shot; it cemented


    our decision. The girl preferred watching the kids and making dinner rolls and other shit. She took over


    the kitchen most days. Recently the Club has had an influx of jobs and we¡¯ve been handing some to


    the other charters just to keep up.


    It was good for business, but National was feeling the pinch with the excess of travelling. I came back


    to Ka every few months because this was ultimately where my home was. My sister was stuck here


    for the next 2 years and until then so was I. Once that time was over, Frost and I would be on the road


    for a while, after we went back to Liston Hills.


    "You think it could have been a hit?" Venus asks sitting next to Texas by the air-con. She¡¯s changed a


    lot since our old President betrayed the club. Venus loved Rounder, but she knew the man had to atone


    for his sins. The biker life was fast and exciting to many, but it was harsh. The rules we stood by didn¡¯t


    favor any of us. We followed them or we paid the price.


    Many of us in this room knew first-hand the price of betrayal. We all experienced it. Some of us, like


    Texas, Snake and myself, experienced it together. I watch an entire camp get blown up by a woman


    who married a soldier, only to kill an entire camp. She survived, and I asked her why. She said it was


    the price of taking her boy; the kid was only 5, and although I understood, her price was too high so I


    snapped her neck.


    "Nah, she''s Marcus Brays daughter, only La is stupid enough to do that. I think they were trying to


    scare daddy and someone pissed them off. We might need to give Marcus a call and see if there are


    any enemies he has lurking about,¡± Spade adds.


    ¡°None,¡± Snake answers, and he is correct.


    ¡°A man like Marcus always has enemies,¡± River says, rubbing a hand on his face. The man was getting


    old fast. Guess marrying Hannah came with old age. The woman was perfect for River, because she


    kept him inline but she was a firecracker and when she exploded so did he. They loved each other, but


    River had an air for control and Hannah had a knack for using that air to piss him off.


    ¡°Nope, Marcus¡¯s enemies are dead, or too fucking scared to do anything,¡± Snake says, and again he is


    correct. I know, I KILLED most of them along the years.

 Chapter 22 (Killer)

    Chapter 22 (Killer)


    ¡°I¡¯ve been wondering, what the fuck could have ticked them off so much they left her with the dead guy


    and vanished? That just doesn¡¯t gel with me,¡± Zero rubs at his scar a sign something isn''t adding up.


    I already have my suspicion about that, but I never talk until I have the facts. Natasha is not someone


    I¡¯m keen on talking to just yet. I needed to keep my eye on Sienna; I suspected she had much bigger


    fish to catch, and I was going to enjoy the trip. We didn¡¯t get to talk in the car; I knew she was in pain,


    and when she got back, I presumed she needed space. But she can¡¯t hide forever.


    ¡°Natasha isn''t telling us the rest of the story. The girl is cute, but she can¡¯t lie to save her life. Frost said


    she¡¯ll handle Natasha,¡± River says.


    ¡°Either way, Prez, I set up a meeting with the President of the Chainsaws. The MC is notorious for


    shooting first and asking questionster,¡± Zero says.


    ¡°Okay, I''ll send After and Mercy to be our shadows, make sure you take those fuckers out if they so


    much as blink wrong.¡± After¡¯s response is a flick of her knife.


    ¡°Let Frost and Knight do the talking,¡± I tell River.


    ¡°Okay. Killer you and Snake can go to Seattle see if Gabriel DeMarco is going to be a long time issue. I


    suggest you meet with Marco too,¡± River says.


    "And the bounty?" Texas asks.


    "We keep Natasha here for now. Marcus wants his daughter safe. Once the shits settled we hand her


    back to him."


    The meeting carries on and we discuss the pandemic that started affecting certain parts of the country


    and the entire world.


    I tune them out as my mind recalls all the recent conversations I¡¯ve had. If Sienna is here now looking


    for Diamond, surely she must know that Diamond is back from the secure location she was stuck in.


    Why didn¡¯t Sienna just go to her? I never thought about that, unless it wasn¡¯t Diamond she was looking


    for. I knew I needed to talk to her and find out what was going on.


    Once the meeting is wrapped up, I go straight to Sienna¡¯s room. I knock and surprise hits me when


    Natasha opens the door. It¡¯s almost 10 at night.


    Her back goes ramrod straight, and she looks at me in equal parts shock and something else I don¡¯t


    want to decipher.


    Her blue hair is shorter than thest time we met. Her face is bruised, with swelling on her left jaw. I¡¯m


    a firm believer that most of the time we are responsible for what happens to us.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± Sienna asks in that strong high deep note voice she¡¯s always had.


    ¡°It¡¯s Killer,¡± Natasha says as she takes a step aside to let me in. The room looks good. It was one of the


    5 left after we extended the Clubhouse. The next two bedrooms on the right were After and Mercy¡¯s


    and the one on the left was empty.


    Sienna didn¡¯t know this, but the Club made an informed decision to install cameras inside the bedroom.


    One by the kid¡¯s cot and two on either side of the bedroom corners. It wasn¡¯t for spying, but more to


    protect her. I had a feeling the DeMarco¡¯s would not y nice with securing the child.


    Sienna is on the bed, covered partially with a sheet. Her attention is on Kaleb, who lying next to her,


    kicking his tiny feet. The kid is already showing signs of being a busybody. I walk in and take a seat by


    her feet, ignoring the woman standing behind me.


    ¡°How¡¯s the pain? Hannah said she gave you something to assist?¡± I noticed the pills still sitting on the


    bedside the moment I walked in. Which means she hasn¡¯t taken it.


    She puts her lips together, looking ufortable, which I find odd.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± She mumbles ying with Kaleb¡¯s feet.

    I take a deep breath and tilt my head, ¡°Natasha, excuse Sienna and I for a moment.¡±


    ¡°Ah..¡±


    ¡°No, she¡¯s alright where she is,¡± Sienna responds.


    ¡°Get out,¡± My voicees out harsh and Natasha jumps and flees, which always worked on her when


    she was a kid. Victoria and she would climb the trees, spying on Jace and me to get extra pocket


    money from David.


    Natasha closes the door, and Sienna res at me.


    ¡°That was awfully harsh, don¡¯t you think?¡± She asks, but it isn¡¯t really a question, it¡¯s more of an


    observation. A correct one.


    ¡°I want to know what the fuck is going on with you, and before you tell me nothing, I saw your letter and


    I read it. So the kid is Gabriel¡¯s and I take it since he is in prison and you went ace out to y knight


    and shining fucking armour pregnant and alone, there¡¯s bad blood there. SO you better start talking.¡±


    She drops her eyes and stares at Kaleb. He changes by the hour, but I don¡¯t see his dad in him.


    ¡°He went to prison, and his father decided he wasn¡¯t happy with a half-blooded Grandchild from their


    future boss, so I got the fuck out of there.¡± So they don¡¯t want the kid? I wonder at the uracy of that


    statement.


    I knew when Vincent was 10 his mother insisted he be a vital part of the Famiglia. And a made-man


    was what he became, only to meet an early death by a Texan Belle with a gun. My sister shot my


    brother in the heart, 3 times.


    My brother was many things, but a full Italian wasn¡¯t one of them. What my father ever thought when he


    decided to stick his dick there was beyond me. It seemed like his past mistakes really were falling on


    his children. Our family was too intertwined with the Catelli Famiglia, and we needed to change that.


    And whether or not I ADMITTED it, Sienna was part and parcel of that family.


    ¡°Was this before or after they found out you killed his brother and Uncle?¡±


    ¡°Well, that part they found out a few weeks ago, and it wasn¡¯t only me, so if you think Marco is going to


    want revenge think again,¡± She says keeping her gaze on her kid. And that surprises me. Because why


    the fuck would Marco be involved with taking out his own people? He was already the Capo Dei Capi.


    Unless there was someone else who was involved.


    I look up at her, and she looks at me for a moment and I see the unspoken words. Deciding to drop that


    part for now, I focus on the matter at hand.


    ¡°So were you going to tell us?¡± I have to ask the question.


    ¡°No, I was going to leave and get my kid out of America,¡± Sienna¡¯s honesty has always been something


    I had a hard time believing, she¡¯s a fantastic liar. But I believe her. After finding the passport in her


    backpack, she left in the car it would be silly not to.


    ¡°So basically you were going to run away?¡±


    ¡°Well, not just yet. I need to find Diamond first, she¡¯s in danger. Killing them doesn¡¯t solve the problem


    she made with the Bratva, when she martyred herself to save your brother. But I am sure you already


    know that. So she will join me.¡±


    ¡°Because of the file?¡± She¡¯s been a delight at answering my questions so far, so I give it a shot.


    ¡°The file?¡± Her face is nk.


    ¡°Surely you know what I am talking about. The document that has all the identities of the special-


    Forces and their operations. And the list of Team 5,¡± I know I am lying it on thick, and cajoling her


    answers out of her is not off the table.


    She smiles, and it is a very calm one, considering I JUST asked about the one thing many men would


    kill to have.


    ¡°You think I want to find Diamond because she has a file with that info?¡± Sheughs and shakes her


    head.


    ¡°It isn¡¯t a file that has that information, Killer,¡± She informs me as she wraps Kaleb in her nket.


    ¡°What are you talking about?¡± I¡¯m genuinely curious what she knows. This implicates many people.


    Dangerous people who would kill her and Diamond.


    ¡°Do you honestly think the Frankfurts were stupid enough to keep a file?¡±


    ¡°If it isn¡¯t a file then what is it?¡±


    She smiles, and it isn¡¯t a good one as her light green eyes hold my mind at a standstill.


    ¡°Like I would tell you?¡± Her face is unbelieving, as if she thinks I am crazy.


    ¡°I was hoping so, since your life depends on it,¡± My hand goes to the chain dangling from my leather


    pants.


    ¡°If you think I fear dying, well, you are more stupid than I initially thought. If that¡¯s all you can leave.¡±


    ¡°Actually it is not,¡± I carry on, ¡°Natasha is hiding something, we need to get it out of her. So heal up


    crazy girl and find out what she isn¡¯t telling us because if the Chainsaw MCes after her, it¡¯s going


    to affect you as much as us.¡± I look at Kaleb to get my message across, and although she says


    nothing. The slight tick in her jaw says more than her words would. Natasha didn¡¯t mention everything


    to Sienna either.


    ¡°I¡¯m done now, sleep tight.¡± I walk out and find Natasha in the passage, and she says nothing, but I


    know she was listening in.

 Chapter 23 (Killer)

    Chapter 23 (Killer)


    The flight to Seattle goes quickly, and after an hour¡¯s drive we are arriving at the Prison.


    After signing in, and a talk with the warden, we wait for GABRIEL. He takes his time to get to the


    phone, and I lift it up.


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    ¡°So what brings you two fuckers all the way here?¡± He has changed. I remember Gabriel, he was once


    a close friend to Aliyana, before she married Marco and the shit fest started. His once innocent face is


    stained in sin, and the distant look on his face has lost any of his childhood charm.


    The Made-man¡¯s curse. How the fuck he chose this over a woman and child is beyond my


    understanding. But he has, and now he¡¯s tucked in this shit hole eating crappy food and sleeping with


    one eye on his makeshift knife and the other on his dick.


    ¡°Came to congratte you,¡± My words are short.


    His mouth thins, ¡°Sienna had the baby? Are they safe?¡±


    I shrug, but it¡¯s on purpose, ¡°Depends, is your father going to be a problem?¡±


    He rubs his hand on his face and touches his nose.


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure. She went after my fucking brother and uncle. Letting that slide is a show of weakness.¡±


    ¡°Maybe a show of weakness will be a good idea, she¡¯s under my protection. I have no qualms ending a


    generation or two,¡± I tell him, and it is the truth. If I had to take out every DeMarco, I would.


    ¡°Fuck, Killer, you asking me to shoot a bull in its face,¡± Gabriel says.


    ¡°If you want to have a name to rule, then I suggest that is what you do and make it quick. Because I


    smell one of you near those two, game over.¡± I put the phone down, my warning clear, and Snake and I


    leave that shitty ce.


    We stop at the Greek Restaurant near our next stop. Making the meeting a quick one, we drive out into


    the countryside and it takes an extra 30 minutes to get to the Castle. The ce is ancient and has been


    passed down in the DeMarco bloodline. It was also the home of Marco Catelli and his wife.


    The guards open the gate and we drive through. I recall thest time I was here on Mercer Ind. I


    didn¡¯t drive in and I wasn¡¯t invited.


    ¡°How do you n to handle this? Marco is hard-headed,¡± Snake asks me as I drive to the parking


    space.


    ¡°I don¡¯t, it¡¯s not him we¡¯re going to see, it¡¯s Aliyana,¡± I inform him as he ys with the Snake tattoo on


    his neck.


    ¡°I thought you left that shit behind?¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t leave the shadows. I bought myself 10 years, but that isn¡¯t why we are here. Sienna told me


    that Marco won¡¯te after her, what she didn¡¯t mention was him being involved, and he has no


    reason to want the DeMarco¡¯s dead.¡±


    Snake smiles, ¡°But Aliyana would if it meant protecting Diamond.¡±


    ¡°But wait, why would Aliyana want to protect Diamond? She¡¯s only close to Frost...¡± He stops whatever


    else he is going to say and smiles, shaking his head.


    ¡°Fuck, I¡¯m going to need a road map once all this shit is done,¡± He says.


    ¡°You and me, brother.¡± I switch the car off and head into the Queens den. My senses heighten and I


    already know this meeting will not go that well.


    I was once part of the Shadows, and I will die being part of the Shadows, but for now, I was free from


    that part of my life, but Aliyana knew that when the time came and the war in the 5th state began to


    spill over into unchartered territory I would be by her side ready to fight for the ones who can''t.

 Chapter 24 (Sienna)

    Chapter 24 (Sienna)


    Time always has a way of flying by so fast, one moment we are crying and nextughing.


    My momma told me it was the way of the universe trying to exist and time was the universe¡¯s heart,


    which is why it beat.


    ¡°Kids grow up so fast, you need to catch the moment for as long as you can,¡± After says sitting next to


    me. With all her badass biker vibes she had going on and the hard, thick cord of muscles on her body,


    she was great with kids. It was a beautiful hot day, so we got Kaleb outside, and with Bull and Storm¡¯s


    help we got our nket set up and some beers for After. Eventually the rest of the bikers all came to


    join us and now it was a full on outdoor pic. Storm, Spade and Snake were manning the grill and


    Venus and Hannah taking turns to top up drinks for everyone.


    Killer and Frost were busy since stuff with the other MC wasn¡¯t sorted out. I didn¡¯t particrly know


    what was going on since the club didn¡¯t see the need to share, but I knew negotiations didn¡¯t go well,


    and Natasha was stuck here for a while longer.


    She didn¡¯t take the news well and after her and I had words about what she told me verses what she


    told them; we weren¡¯t on talking terms. But I knew I wouldn¡¯t stay mad at her for long.


    So After and I have been spending a lot of time together, since she wasn¡¯t keen on going out with the


    Pandemic getting worse. And also since her bedroom was next to mine, so when Kaleb cried she


    always joined me for his feeding. It was good to have thepany. Today, we were ying the waiting


    game, to find out if Ka was going to go on full lockdown.


    ¡°Well, yeah, but isn¡¯t that the best part of having kids, is when they get older we can talk to them?¡± I ask


    her.


    ¡°Well, depends on the person. My parents were silent people, and my brother and I were there to be


    seen and not heard.¡±


    ¡°Where did you grow up?¡±


    ¡°Chicago moved to Connecticut when my dad lost his live on tour. Broke my mother¡¯s heart and for


    years I watched her try to dig a whole deep enough so she could join him, but never worked. Eventually


    she just decided to fuck the world and took my dad¡¯s shot and bang, dead. I was 21 at the time, but my


    brother was only 16. Got the message while I was in Korea, it was my first official tour as a lieutenant.


    Got back home, buried her, and left my brother at my Uncle¡¯s ce. Worse mistake I ever made.¡±


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    Her brown eyes look at me, lost and sad. She turns her head and stares out into the river.


    ¡°He got shot. He survived, doctors said it was a miracle. So, he turned to God.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s so bad about turning to God?¡± I¡¯m confused why this was a bad thing.


    ¡°I¡¯m a killer, Sienna, it means he let me go.¡±


    ¡°Oh, that must suck.¡± I rack my brain trying to think of something to say that doesn¡¯tprise me


    talking about Diamond. After and I had a lot inmon.


    ¡°Well, you have a Club of brothers, so it isn¡¯t like youcking,¡± I tell her with a wink as Spade walks up


    to us with a te of burgers.


    She smiles and drops t on the nket, taking a swig of her beer.


    ¡°Thanks Spade,¡± I say as he hands me the two tes of food. There are sweet potato chips and sd


    on the side of the burger. I notice since staying at the clubhouse that the bikers weren¡¯t a fan of


    unhealthy food.


    They ate proper meals and healthy quality food. Which I found odd since the Sin Rider¡¯s MC, I recall,


    ate like hogs and loved their greasy burgers and brown sauces.


    The Satan Sniper¡¯s Motorcycle Club ran a tight home. They were at times wild, but the men respected


    the women.


    And the women returned the favor.


    They functioned as a team and everyone cleaned and helped with the daily upkeep of their home,


    because that was what the Clubhouse was, their home.


    I admired them for that, and their united front. I could see why Killer and Frost chose the biker lifestyle.


    But I could see Frost missed Liston Hills. She missed her momma and her Papa and brothers.


    They missed her too, but I knew Uncle Marcus missed Frost much more than the others, becausest


    week when I got my phone back, Uncle Marcus sent me a ton of messages. Most of them were about


    Kaleb, but there was one where he asked me if she was safe and happy. And that, for him, was a sign


    of weakness, because he knew keeping Frost distant and cutting off contact with her was for her own


    good.


    I told him she was, and I wasn¡¯t lying. Frost looked content with her situation, and it helped to have


    Killer with her. The two left this morning. Since his previous trip three weeks ago, he kept his distance


    from me. He took Kaleb and greeted me like he was talking to a passerby on the street. But either than


    a simple hello, he didn¡¯t get too close. And parts of me missed his attention.


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Have you read up about that dating stuff I told you to read?¡± I ask After as she sits up taking her te.


    We were talkingst week and I let slip about my crush on Killer when I was 16. Sheughed her ass


    off for a good 5 minutes before she admitted she slept with Bull one night and he called her by his dead


    wife¡¯s name.


    After definitely still liked the guy, but she said she put him off after she sent him a slew of messages to


    tell him where to shove his dick.


    I showed her all the YouTube videos I used to watch when I was younger about dating, and the two of


    us spent hours watching all the new dating advice we could soak up. After even went as far as listening


    to love Affirmations while I was feeding Kaleb.


    When Frost got back in the evening, I got her involved too. She took it a step further and decided she¡¯ll


    try the 30 day no contact rule with Storm. Since she moved into the CLUBHOUSE, the two were only


    having sex and it was seldom. Frost admitted it was mostly when they had one too many to drink or


    they spared together.


    Storm refused to take it further and make them official, and it drove Frost mad. She never spoke about


    it often, so when I pried too much Frost shut me down and put all her attention on Kaleb.


    But After loved talking about other women¡¯s shit, (her words, not mine). So she filled me in that the two


    had too much bad blood. She dumped him for Vincent and then turned to him to get her out of the hole


    she put herself in. And Frost expected Storm to fall in line. I knew first hand asking a man like Storm to


    get on the same road as you were trying to move a truck by yourself. Stupid, and a waste of time.

 Chapter 25 (Sienna)

    Chapter 25 (Sienna)


    But Storm was also partially to me when he turned to the bottle, which exined why I never caught


    him with a drink in his hand. He feared getting hurt, I could see it, but I said nothing to that, because I


    knew Frost and she would eventually hurt him. Not on purpose, but it was in her DNA.


    She was Marcus Bray¡¯s daughter. And if there was one thing my Uncle kept doing along the years, was


    breaking hearts.


    After stuffs the burger down in three gulps while I take small bites of mine.


    ¡°I read the women are from Venus and men from Mars one. But haven¡¯t gotten around to the others. I


    was thinking of trying Audio books, Beggar loves them, she gets to finish one a day.¡±


    ¡°How is she? I haven¡¯t seen her since she got back?¡±


    ¡°Funny you mention it, she¡¯s on her way this side. She¡¯s been spending time with her kid,¡± After tells


    me and I get excited at the thought of meeting the woman who changed Killer and Frost. Since my stay


    here, I heard her name a few good too many times while the guys were talking.


    I hear the rumble of bikes and I turn, but the hill blocks my view of the other side.


    Kaleb howls his lungs out and I put my food down to get him from his rocking chair, but Jade gets him.


    She was the one who came back with Beggar 2 weeks back. She has a beautiful tattoo that she shows


    off on her back, of a fallen angel sitting with a broken wing. She¡¯s shorter than me, but not by much.


    She yed a game of Jenga with me the one night while we binged watched, Discovery of Witches.


    Jade didn¡¯t talk often, but loved to smile unless Spade walked in the room. The guy trained most of the


    club¡¯s prospects and taught the others advance martial arts. I saw him meditating a few mornings on


    the hill around 4 in the morning. He was disciplined and his body had zero fat on it. He was ripped to a


    perfection. What was there not to like? It was clear Spade had feelings for her, but she avoided him like


    a gue.


    What does Killer¡¯s body look like? How far do all those tattoos go? Killer wore loose t-shirts most of the


    time, and he never walked around in the morning shirtless. It made him mysterious, which spelled


    Kevin Stone to a tee. But it made me curious about things I knew were off limits to me.


    ¡°You want another drink?¡± Jade asks After, who hands her the empty bottle.


    ¡°Thanks Jadey, are youing for a swimter? Spade and Knight are going to babysit the kidster,


    and the rest of us are going to do some water sport,¡± After informs her. I bite my lips because I know


    she only mentioned Spade not being there on purpose. Which was a lie. I knew Knight and Raven were


    looking after the kids.


    She lifts Kaleb up and blows raspberries on his neck. He makes noises as he sucks his hand.


    ¡°Yeah, count me in. THE party is tomorrow, right?¡± Jade queries.


    ¡°Depends, if we got lockdown or not, still waiting to hear. This shit is going to suck balls, if we close the


    Club,¡± Bull says as he walks closer to us.


    After stuffs her face again, and it makes me smile as I lift my own te. For a bad biker, she is shy


    around this man. It is kind of cute, and the prospect of ying matchmaker doesn¡¯t sound unappealing


    to me.


    When I was younger, I was the one who set Dexter Kent and Frost up together. Obviously at the time, I


    didn¡¯t know they would get older, and he would cheat on her. I certainly didn¡¯t see iting when she


    caught him and almost rolled him over with her car.


    ¡°We can still party under lockdown, can¡¯t we?¡± Jade asks, ying with Kaleb.


    ¡°Guess we can make a n,¡± Bulls answers, taking a swig of his bud. He is wearing a light beige chino


    pants and white t-shirt. Hard bulky muscles pack his body that the t-shirt stretches around his biceps.


    There is nothing lean about him. He is purely lethal unless ites to my boy.


    ¡°You looking different After,¡± Bull says, and she was looking different since I begged her to wear a short


    and t-shirt today. It was so darn hot, and I was tired of having to look at leather and denim the whole


    day.


    I was wearing a navy blue summer dress I swiped from Frost¡¯s cupboard, since I was now sharing it for


    the foreseeable future. I got myself some underwear at the local mall.


    ¡°Thank you, you look the same,¡± She answers, earning her a snort from Jade.


    ¡°You bitches are glitzing in the sun while we burning. You should be ashamed,¡± Frost says as she drops


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    on to the nket swiping chip from my te.


    ¡°me Sienna, she started it,¡± Jade winks at me.


    Killer walks around and my heart kicks a beat when I see him in his jeans. The man has a sexy ass and


    long legs. They made those blue denims for him. His shirt sits right on the top of his ass, and it¡¯s very


    difficult to lift my eyes to his face. He is wearing shades, so it hides his Orniel blue eyes. His blonde


    hair is pushed back, but a chunk of it hangs on to his face. He is sweaty, and it just makes him more


    handsome.


    His tattooed arms lift as Jade hands Kaleb to him. Killer takes my kid in his one arm and holds Kaleb by


    his small little leg, as my boy rests his small body on Killer¡¯s arm.


    He looks good with a kid in his arm, too bad it isn¡¯t his. I¡¯m not sure who he is looking at since his


    shades are dark as he stands in front of us. The mysterious Kevin Stone.


    ¡°He needs to drink, where¡¯s the milk?¡± Killer asks, and I point to the cooler box I brought with my breast


    milk.


    He goes to get a bottle of milk and I watch his body bend effortlessly and get the bottle from the cooler


    box. After whistles, and Frost nudges her, ¡°That¡¯s my brother.¡±


    ¡°He ain¡¯t mine, sweetheart,¡± After answers and I roll my eyes. Why can¡¯t she be so brave with Bull? Life


    would be so easy. It¡¯s obvious the man likes her to an extent.


    Killer walks back and sits by my legs, his ass touching my barefoot. I should move it but I don¡¯t.


    ¡°Hey, where¡¯s Tash?¡± Frost asks.


    ¡°She¡¯s with Beggar and Zero, theying a bitter,¡± Bull answers. She offered to go with Zero this


    morning to do a shop run and stock up on supplies. I knew she just wanted to avoid me. It hurt, but I


    knew we would talk again soon.


    I watch Killer as he silently sits with Kaleb feeding him.


    ¡°If you up for it, Frost will give you her bike, and we can go for a ride?¡± Killer says and for a moment


    everyone around our small group stops talking and all eyes are on me.


    ¡°Me?¡± I rify hesitantly.


    ¡°Yes, Sienna, you,¡± He says, but it almost feels like his simple answer is loaded with much more than


    just an answer.


    ¡°And Kaleb?¡± I question.


    ¡°I¡¯m sure he¡¯ll prefer bonding with his aunt,¡± Frost says.


    ¡°You mean Aunties, Beggar and Zero are inside,¡± Natasha¡¯s voicees behind me and I didn¡¯t even


    know she was there. I look at Killer and his mouth gets thin.


    ¡°Don¡¯t Sienna, get that shit out of your head,¡± He quips and I close my mouth.


    ¡°I think it is a great idea, whenst did you ride?¡± Natasha saysing to sit next to Killer on the


    nket.


    ¡°It has been a while,¡± I say.


    ¡°We¡¯ll head out in the next 30 minutes, eat up.¡± Killer gets back to feeding Kaleb and Natasha y with


    Kaleb¡¯s fingers.


    They would make beautiful babies, and I know I shouldn¡¯t feel angry about it, but I do. I really fucking


    do, and I me Gabriel DeMarco.


    ¡°Can I take him when he¡¯s done eating,¡± Natasha asks, and Killer lifts his head.


    ¡°No.¡± Natasha¡¯s eyes got big and she purses her lips.


    Frost chuckles as After asks Bull for another beer. We talk about what we were going to do if our State


    went on lockdown. Frost suggested binge-watching Supernatural. Bull said he was going to focus on


    learning how to cook since he sucked. Jade wanted to learn how to shoot a bow. Killer said nothing. He


    was content to just listen.


    ¡°And you, Tash?¡± Frost asks. The sun is zing today, with note even a kiss of the wind insight.

 Chapter 26 (Sienna)

    Chapter 26 (Sienna)


    ¡°I was hoping to go back to Liston Hills and see dad.¡± Her face drops and Frost¡¯s face gets a pinched


    look.


    ¡°We are trying everything to get that shit sorted, but situations like that don¡¯t dissolve overnight,¡± Frost


    tells her.


    ¡°You can train with Spade and myself,¡± Killer suggests, and that somehow makes my entire body burn


    with some unknown emotion.


    Or better yet, an emotion I know well, but not say. It is crazy how old habits fall into ce when the four


    of us are all together.


    The only difference is now, I¡¯m not the only one with a tainted past, we are all bit banged up on the


    inside. And Kevin Stone is no longer the subject of my affections, no he is definitely not that.


    Her face lifts, and she smiles, ¡°Sounds good,¡±


    Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    Killer puts the empty bottle down and lifts Kaleb to his chest to break his wind. After is about to tell him


    to use the towel but I nudge her and she coughs.


    Kaleb breaks wind and spews on Killer¡¯s shirt, wetting his chest with breast milk. He lifts Kaleb up and


    puts him on the other side. Natasha gets the towel and pats his chest, but his other hand holds her


    wrist from dabbing him.


    ¡°Leave it,¡± His voice is cold and After stiffens next to me.


    ¡°Why must you be a dick all the time,¡± Frost says, as she takes a beer from Bull.


    Bull passes me a Fanta and I am not sure why I do it, but I shake the thing and open it, so it sprays


    Killer, Natasha, Jade and Bull. Natasha squeals,ughing and Killer shakes his head getting up with


    Kaleb who got some cool drink on his legs. Oops.


    Killer walks with Kaleb to the river and I get up, listening to After and Frostugh their asses off.


    I take the towel from Natasha and head to the river, following Killer.


    ¡°Oh,e on, it was funny, loosen up,¡± I tell him as I bend down and dip the edge of the towel in water.


    He puts Kaleb¡¯s legs in the water and I move closer to him to clean my boy¡¯s face.


    ¡°And what about mine?¡± Killer asks as he takes his sses off. His eyes are a dream, and his chiseled


    face carved from stone. His surname definitely suits him. My mother used to tell, the Stones had stone


    hearts, and they were hard right until the center. You couldn¡¯t break them, you had to chisel your way


    through and hope they eventually crumbled, or else you were out of luck.


    ¡°There you go,¡± I hand him the towel. He shakes his head.


    ¡°I have Kaleb, and you did this, not me,¡± Killer says. And my nerves go from mildly high to exploding in


    an overflowing fountain of nerves.


    I lift the towel and wipe the orange liquid off his face. It¡¯s intimate for me, and I look at his neck instead


    of his face, hoping everyone isn¡¯t watching us.


    ¡°Sienna,¡± Killer whispers, like a breath, and I nce up at him, my mouth parts, and just for a moment I


    convince myself he is just a normal man.


    We stare at each other and he never blinks, and the moment is intense that I shove the towel in his


    hand and walk away. Because in reality, Kevin Stone is no normal man, he is born to be a killer, a


    major part about him I should not forget.


    ¡°We leaving in 10, get dressed,¡± Killer orders me, as I walk to the others.


    Frost throws me her keys for her bike and I catch it. Her face looks almost pensive, but she says


    nothing.


    I take over 10 minutes to add on a jean, pee and get a biker jacket. I grab Frosts helmet from the shelf


    on my way out.


    My ass sits nicely onto her super bike, waiting for Killer. He shows up secondster with a new t-shirt


    that¡¯s identical to the one he had on. I turn my head so he doesn¡¯t think I¡¯m checking him out.


    ¡°You ready to ride Sin?¡± He hardly calls me Sin, buting from Killer it means more to me since he


    was the reason the nickname stayed.


    ¡°When you are.¡± I slip my helmet on and lift the shield up. I slip the biker gloves on, picking my left foot


    up, turn the key and enjoy the blissful feel of the rumble and vibration of the bike as it roars with life.


    Killer does the same, and I let him lead as I follow closely behind him. He signals a left turn when we


    get to the Clubhouse gates.


    I turn with him, and we build our speed on the open road. I go faster, as the familiarity of the bike and


    the feel of freedom fills me up.


    We ride, and he turns his head to check on me. The faster Killer goes, the faster I follow. The roads are


    wide and we push harder.


    It has been a while since I felt my smile so wide, as my heart galloped in awe and my body moved with


    a machine. We ride for a good hour. Killer signals me to take the next turnoff and I drop my speed,


    following him.


    We ride along a bumpy road. Trees and greenery blind the dirt road from the main road. Killer slows


    down when we get to what looks like an abandoned bus stop and an entrance to the forest. I park next


    to him and wait to see if he wants to get off. When he swings his leg over his bike, I take my gloves off


    first and then my helmet.


    I steady the bike as I swing my leg off.


    He stands there and lifts his head up to the sky before he stretches.


    I put my helmet on the seat and wait for Killer. The old manment is on the tip of my tongue, but I


    bite the words down. I PROMISED myself to keep snipes in my head.


    ¡°Where are we going?¡± I ask him, choosing not to look too closely at his flesh showing above his pants.


    ¡°A swim,¡± He lifts his satchel and produces a towel and a bottle of frozen water.


    ¡°And the bikes?¡± I question. If Frost¡¯s bike went missing, she¡¯ll have my head on a tter for dinner.


    ¡°Bikes are good here. No onees this side. I¡¯ll show you why,e on.¡± He slips his sses on and


    goes into the open forest. I follow him and see the long walkway.


    ¡°This ce used to be a hiking trail back in the day, but years ago a few women got killed here. Look at


    the white stones over there,¡± He points to a small stack of stones, and my heart constricts for those


    women.


    ¡°So the town marked it as a dead zone. The Club bought thisnd so it won¡¯t be sanctioned off.¡±


    ¡°Why would they do that? I hope you guys aren¡¯t going to cut these trees down.¡±


    ¡°No, we going to turn it into a small water park and camp for the kids. Come on, you¡¯re dawdling.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m wearing biker boots and I¡¯m still carrying wait from my pregnancy.¡±


    ¡°Stop whining, you look great.¡± I wisely say nothing to hisment and pick up my slow pace.


    We get to the bottom and I spot the rocks and start of ake. He holds out his hand and I take it when


    we get to a steep drop. I trample on the rocks following him as walks to the other side of theke¡¯s bed.


    There is a good patch of sand and I wipe the sweat off my face as Killer sits down and starts pulling his


    boots off.


    ¡°Takeout your clothes. Let¡¯s get in,¡± He looks at my body as he takes his sses off. I¡¯m nervous as


    fuck, because I haven¡¯t seen Killer without a shirt on since he was a 20-year-old.


    And he has definitely filled out since then. And I still have a bit of a pouch. My stitches dissolved and


    my period stopped, so I didn¡¯t really have an excuse.

 Chapter 27 (Sienna)

    Chapter 27 (Sienna)


    I take out my jacket first andy it on the sand, bending down I remove my riding boots.


    My pants and t-shirt go next and I thank my fuckingmon sense that I wore an actual bra, and it is


    Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    white and padded.


    I pull my panty right and I look at him, to find him staring at me. He studies me as he slips his shirt off


    and oh, fuck, all that is holy.


    Damn, he has a fantastic body. His tattoos are colorful and take up his entire torso.


    His body ispletely ripped and lean. He slips off his pants.


    ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that, Sin,¡± He says and a rush of embarrassment turns my face crimson. I rush


    into theke.


    The water is clean as it sshes with my entry.


    I see the fish as I go deep and take a dip not thinking of the predator who is about to join me in deep


    waters.


    Killer enters as I turn to face him. He¡¯s wearing a sleep shorts. I always took him as a Jockey¡¯s man but


    then who really knows Kevin Stone. Sometimes I wonder if he even knew himself.


    ¡°Let¡¯s swim to the other side, I wanna show you something,¡± He gestures, and takes a deep dive into


    theke.


    I follow him as he swims ahead of me; trying not to notice his wet hair and the fact that we are


    swimming in ake. The two of us, alone.


    Could it be possible that Killer likes me? Surely not, he is the one who kicked me out of my hometown.


    Well, I did almost kill Diamonds dad and knock my cousin out, which thetter was a mistake.


    We swim for a while and my arms tire out. I worry about my breast milk. Surely this won¡¯t affect my


    breast milk.


    I consider this until we stop and there is a line of sand and rocks preventing us from going to the other


    side. Guess theke ends here.


    Killer walks up to the side, and I follow him. He takes my hand and pulls me so I can follow him. His


    fingers are rough, he always had gigantic hands even as a boy.


    I let it slide and not think too much on it. We walk a bit and stop at the beginning of the river. He points


    to the other side and I follow his finger and I can¡¯t help but startughing.


    ¡°Can they see us?¡± I ask and start yelling and jumping. Killerughs, and it sounds foreign but


    weed in a way that my body gets flustered as I realize my boobs and ass are probably bouncing all


    over the show. But I am done caring about things like that. I had a kid and frankly my body still looked


    great.


    ¡°They can¡¯t see you, but good try.¡±


    ¡°This ce is fantastic. A hidden gem,¡± I say.


    ¡°It¡¯s truly something. I¡¯ll bring you one evening and we can make a fire and watch the nightlifee


    alive.¡± I hear him, but say nothing. All I can do is smile and enjoy the moment.


    He drops my hand and turns his back to me. I frown, because I have no idea what¡¯s he looking at. I


    follow his gaze, but there is nothing but trees.


    He turns around, his face is closed off, which is a norm with Killer. But I get the sense something isn¡¯t


    right.


    ¡°I went to see Gabriel,¡± He says and I frown. Why he is telling me this. I didn¡¯t want to hear about


    Gabriel, he left us so he can be a Mafia boss..


    ¡°He spoke to his dad, and he called me today. His family is dead set on revenge. Aliyana¡¯s hands are


    tied since your death doesn¡¯t affect the good of the world.¡±


    ¡°I already knew that,¡± And I did.


    ¡°So you lied to me, why? Sienna, if they find you, it isn¡¯t just you who is going to suffer, that boy, you


    love, he will never make it to see kinder garden.¡±


    ¡°So what do you suppose I do? I fucked up, alright, but they were going to kill my sister. Do you think I


    don¡¯t know she¡¯s staying with your brother Michael? Do you honestly think they don¡¯t know?¡±


    He pulls me close to him, and he considers me with harsh intent. He touches my scar on my stomach,


    the one Diamond left 10 years ago.


    ¡°Do you remember what she did to you? Yet you still risk your fucking neck for her, why? I don¡¯t get it


    Taylor.¡±


    I scream, ¡°No.¡± And push him, he wisely lets me go.


    ¡°Don¡¯t fucking call me that, I love her alright. She¡¯s my fucking sister. What more must I say? And I


    don¡¯t give a fuck if we share blood or not,¡± I yell and I know I am scowling and throwing my hands


    everywhere. But he makes me so mad.


    ¡°Say you¡¯ll put that boy first from now. Tell me you will protect him and do what¡¯s needed to keep him


    safe. Tell me, and fucking mean it,¡± Killer¡¯s words hit me and I burst into tears.


    He pulls me close, holding me to his chest. He smells like dirt and sand, which reminds me of home,


    when things were simpler, and everyone just yed their part.


    I cry harder with how safe I feel being embraced by a lethal man, this one. Even if it is just for a


    moment.


    Sad thing is, I can¡¯t remember thest time I was held in a man¡¯s arms. Thest time was Gabriel¡¯s,


    and I didn¡¯t know it then, but it was thest hug I would ever get from him.


    Not sure my knowing would have made it sweeter, because his choices left a bitterness to every sweet


    moment we shared.


    Truth is, this moment with my tears falling down my face, in the arms of a killer, doesn¡¯t bring any


    sweetness either. Killer is right, my kid needs me more than my sister and now is the time to finally let


    her go. I¡¯m not sure if I can, but I am certain I'' can keep a promise to put my boys¡¯ safety above all else.


    I nod my head, making a vow that from now I will keep my boy safe and put him first. Diamond needed


    to learn to keep herself safe from now. If she ever needed me, I¡¯ll be there but not at the expense of


    Kaleb¡¯s safety. Whether or not I want it, I am a mother now. And truth is, I want it.


    As much as I tried to protect the ones I loved, the price always cost me something. And with Diamond,


    the price was always high.

 Chapter 28 (Sienna)

    Chapter 28 (Sienna)


    ¡°Diamond is safe with Michael, he won¡¯t let anyone get close to her. But she isn¡¯t the same, her mind


    haspletely lost any form of reality.¡±


    Killer drops his hands off my body and I yearn for the feel. For just one more second, but his words


    sober me up.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± I am puzzled by the notion of Diamond losing her form of reality.


    ¡°Sienna, Diamond is going crazy. The government sent her back, they signed her off as mentally unfit


    for duty.¡±


    I frown at what I am hearing. Diamond was never crazy. She was destructive and at times she went


    into her own head, but not to the point of madness.


    ¡°When was this?¡± My stomach drops because I know my sister, blood or not, and over the years I


    watched her from afar for as long as I could. She was dangerous but crazy, no.


    ¡°About 8 months back. Frost tried talking to her, but she lost her shit and started screaming at her to


    get out. Michael developed a brain wave program to calm her mind, so we left her with him. But he


    keeps her in his penthouse with that shit ying the entire day.¡±


    ¡°Does your brother have cameras in the house?¡±


    ¡°YEAH, why?¡±


    ¡°I need to see them,¡± I tell him. This story just didn¡¯t sit right with me.


    ¡°I can get it, how long are you looking for?¡±


    ¡°Three weeks?¡±


    ¡°Is there something you wish to share?¡± Killer asks me as his eyes drop to my breast.


    ¡°Not until I¡¯m sure, can we swim now?¡±


    ¡°Yeah,¡± He says and we walk back into the water. We spend the next few hours swimming and it¡¯s good


    to have something to do that doesn¡¯tprise worrying about tomorrow.


    We get out of the water on the side we came in from. The mosquitoes bite my legs and feet as I dry


    myself. Killer stands behind me, waiting. I throw him the towel as a bird soars over us.


    He ces the towel on the ground and pats next to him.


    ¡°I thought we¡¯re heading home now?¡±


    ¡°Nope, let¡¯s enjoy thest bit of this before we get back.¡±


    Iugh as I nt my ass next to him.


    ¡°Are you enjoying mypany, Kevin Stone,¡± I drawl, in a thick Southern ent.


    ¡°Always have Sienna,¡± He says, staring at theke.


    ¡°10 years is a long time, people change,¡± I tell him as I open the water bottle to take a sip. The


    coldness of the water is a wee andplete contrast to the burn of the sun.


    ¡°They do. You not running away from me any longer,¡± He ps my leg making his point. I push him with


    my shoulder, ¡°I did not run away,¡± I tell him.


    ¡°You did, every time I sat next to you, or we took the boat out. The day I spent Christmas at the Manor,


    I even bought you a present.¡±


    I twist my body to face him, ¡°What? Oh,e on, I didn¡¯t run away. When we were younger, I climbed


    the acorn tree with you MANY times. I also yed UNO with you the one night until 12, I even shared a


    cigarette with you, and I WAS 16.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, you did,¡± He snorts, and it¡¯s so unlike the man I know.


    ¡°You were a terrible influence,¡± I say as he shakes his head.


    Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°I¡¯m not going to deny that, I¡¯m also not going to remind you, that you were 18, lies have a way of


    bing truths,¡± He reminds me and yes, I was 18.


    ¡°Let¡¯s make a pact now,¡± Killer suggests turning to face me and I notice how close we are. His hand is


    right by my butt, and his leg is touching mine. How did he get so close? I was sure we were further


    apart.


    ¡°Alright,¡± I say.


    ¡°From now, when we are alone, let¡¯s just cut the stories and bullshit,¡± He says and I look at him for a


    long time.


    ¡°I can do that,¡± I say, agreeing. Lies sometimes had a way of worming through unchartered territory. It


    would be nice to get away from it. And he seems to like my response when he nods.


    ¡°Do you think momma can see us?¡± I ask him.


    He holds my naked flesh and beckons me down to lie with him. He doesn¡¯t move his hand from my


    shoulder, so I scoot down until I amfortable and ce my hand on his chest. Breathing in his


    scent.


    ¡°I think she is seeing us alright, and she¡¯s probably swearing the both of us right now. Mostly me,¡± He


    says as his fingers pull my chin to face him.


    ¡°Why? Because she thinks you making moves on me?¡± I question in a teasing note.


    ¡°Well, she knows what we¡¯re currently doing is asking for trouble.¡±


    ¡°Why did you have to be such an unfeeling asshole,¡± I ask him softly.


    ¡°Well, my mother told me it was Gods way of preparing me for the world, but I¡¯m not so sure unfeeling


    is what¡¯s happening right now.¡±


    ¡°Are you flirting with me, Kevin?¡± I ask him, trying to make light of a serious moment. He lets my chin


    go and looks at me, and although his face is just as emotionless, I feel as though he never thought


    about it. Oh, well, maybe I taught him something.


    ¡°We should head back,¡± He says and I get up and start getting dressed. While I am sad to leave and


    end the moment, I¡¯m also excited to see my boy.


    It¡¯s a shame I didn¡¯t notice the longing look on his face, it would have made me see him in a different


    light than the one he kept showing.

 Chapter 29 (Sienna)

    Chapter 29 (Sienna)


    It was the day of the party, and even though our state was going into lockdown, the club decided


    having an in house party didn¡¯t qualify as breaking thew.


    Kaleb was with Beggar, a woman I met twice. Once after Killer dropped me off after our bike ride and


    vanished for the rest of the afternoon on his own and the second time when she came to fetch my kid


    telling me she¡¯s on babysitting duty with her husband Zero.


    She assured me she¡¯ll let me know if Kaleb needed anything.


    It was one evening, and I wanted to be the mother of the year, but I really wanted to attend the party


    too.


    Hannah, who also left her 13-year-old daughter with Beggar, reassured me these moments were far


    too few to let them slide and one night would not brand me worst mother of the year. So here I am, in a


    ck mid-length dress and a purple 4-inch-heel.


    I styled my hair in waves down my back and kept my make-up to a minimum. Most of the women in the


    Clubhouse dressed up. Chadley, Jade, Frost and myself decorated the lounge area and cleared the


    room to make a temporary dance floor. Apparently bikers loved to jive.


    Frost took it a step further by adding a disco ball and some decorations. Which I admit looks freaking


    fantastic.


    The ce looks great and the energy in the room is electric. The men are dressed and showered and


    the women are looking sexy with heels and revealing tops.


    Knight, Spade and Snake set up the poolroom for the guys and Venus and Whisp decided they¡¯ll man


    the bar. Since Whisp belonged to Texas and he didn¡¯t like parties and Venus was not drinking at the


    moment because of health reasons, no one objected.


    Which leads me to now, standing by the wall, with a ss of orange juice, watching some guys and


    women dance.


    After and Bull are sitting outside having a ¡®chat¡¯.


    Storm is stationed in front of the makeshift snack table, trying to chat up Frost to no avail. Frost is


    taking the nomunication rule a step further and refusing to even say a word to Storm, which I find


    rather amusing. I should go save him the trouble, but I choose not to get involved. TONIGHT is about


    me. Well, if I can rx. I miss my kid right now.


    ¡°Dance with me.¡± It isn¡¯t a question, and since I doubt anyone else is going to ask me, I get up and take


    Knight¡¯s hand.


    His hand engulfs mine as the next song starts ying.


    Danielle Bradbery, worth it, begins ying.


    He imprisons me close to his body, and someone stops me from holding Knight with a hand on my


    neck. Knight¡¯s face transforms from smiling to utterly shocked as he lets my hand go.


    I turn my head, as Killer grips my waist and swings me around. My breath leaves me in with a whoosh.


    His fingers span my back as he gazes at me like I am more than just me. My spine bends as I look to


    the ceiling. He lifts my back up and I gawk at him, and in this moment I forget who I am. I lose track of


    all the reasons we shouldn¡¯t. His blue eyes hypnotize me, that all I see is him. He¡¯s so close, but not


    Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    close enough to get out of his spell. Killer was supposed to hate me, and push me away, but since I got


    here, he is bringing me closer.


    ¡°You keep pushing me away, but Sin, you gotta leave me with something.¡± He doesn¡¯t wait for me to


    answer as he breaks the spell and tugs me closer toward him.


    My face goes to his chest and I inhale, the sandy scent that will always belong to him. He sways to the


    music. I never knew Killer could dance, nor did I know he could say things that leave me wanting


    something I never knew was avable to me.


    The song finishes and I make to move, but Killer has other ns, and I turn my head to look at him, as


    Lukas Graham, Lie, ys next. The women around all make noise as he arches his eyebrow at me.


    Such a foreign human emotioning from Killer. I shake my head as he dances. His body is lithe and


    moves with the flow of the song as he holds my hand, spinning me toward him.


    Some guys anddies whistle and make obnoxious sounds. The world spins for a moment before I am


    close to his body. I¡¯mughing as he smiles, showing his pearly whites.


    It feels so surreal, like I am dreaming. The room erupts as the other bikers all start grabbing partners


    and dancing. WE dance for plenty of songs and my feet ache from the long hours the night before but


    the pain of it is dullpared to the fun I¡¯m having.


    I dance a bit with Spade and Frost, then again with Killer. The night ends as the first touch of the sun


    breaks through. My body feels like it went through a grinder, but inside I am burning with life.


    Killer takes my hand and beckons me outside. We walk to the top of the Hill and sit as the first touch of


    sunlight kisses the river. This right here is peace.


    ¡°Do you think momma can see me from here?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I think she¡¯s smiling up from there,¡± He points to the sun.


    ¡°Why the sun?¡± I never thought ghost could smile from the sun.


    ¡°Because Crazy girl, she¡¯s burning with love for you, and at the woman you have be.¡±


    My tears flow down my cheeks, and I don¡¯t wipe them away. How does a man who has no feelings say


    a thing like that? Was this Gods joke, momma always said the lord had a way of teaching us lessons.


    Is this mine?


    ¡°Tears have no ce here,¡± He kills me when he says that.


    ¡°I¡¯ve spent so many years trying to be the stranger I was meant to be, because when I looked in the


    mirror I never liked what I saw,¡± I confess, ¡°That day I went for Diamond¡¯s dad, I was so tired of lying,


    and when she told me he was her dad, and she never remembered me, it was like I finally became that


    stranger.¡±


    Killer puts his arm around my back, and I ce my head on his shoulder.


    ¡°You can never be anything else, but the one who lives inside. They can change your name and your


    fucking hair, but no one has power to take that fire you have to live, Sin. I know you said you don¡¯t fear


    dead, but crazy girl I wish you do.¡±


    His words resonate in me like a lifeline and we sit here, under the morning sky, as the sun brings new


    light to our lives.


    ¡°Momma always said no matter how many times you screw up, the Sun never misses its chance to


    shine.¡±


    ¡°Your momma always had a way with words.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, she knew how to get the message across,¡± I say.


    ¡°Sienna, did you love Gabriel?¡±


    ¡°I did, I loved him, but I spent more time trying to change him than loving the parts I couldn¡¯t,¡± I tell Killer


    and it¡¯s the truth. My love for Gabriel always came with a condition, and he came with expectations.


    Which was the reason I always left, and he always managed to pull me back. When Gabriel and I were


    together, it was an explosion of fireworks, but the days before I left we were like two stars trying to


    touch each other.


    So much potential, yet so impossible.


    ¡°Sometimes love is best done from afar.¡± His words remind me of his own far love.


    ¡°Is that why you stay away from Natasha? Because you love her?¡± I don¡¯t look at him, and he never


    misses a beat when he responds.


    ¡°Natasha reminds me of someone, a girl I once knew. I¡¯m not capable of loving anyone. I CARE for her


    like I do you and everyone else here. But not love.¡±


    ¡°Have you ever tried to love?¡±


    ¡°If I did, I wouldn¡¯t know.¡±


    We remain silent and it¡¯s afortable silence as we sit here. The sound of my name and the far


    distant cries of my kid pulls us up from our moment.


    Killer surprises me when he holds my hand and walks me down to the back door of the Clubhouse and


    kisses my head. He turns walking away, heading straight for his bike.


    I watch in silence as River and Frost hop into theirs and race shortly after he leaves. I¡¯m not sure why,


    but the sound of his bike stays in my ears longer than it normally does.


    I head into the kitchen and then to the dining area, following the sound of Kaleb¡¯s cry.


    ¡°He is hungry,¡± Beggar¡¯s says in a rough voice.


    She hands him to me and smiles, as Zero walks in and kisses her cheek before turning around again


    and walking right back out.

 Chapter 30 (Sienna)

    Chapter 30 (Sienna)


    ¡°Men are needy,¡± Beggar informs me, shrugging her shoulders. I love her long ck hair. She looks


    almost identical to Frost. The two could be sisters. It¡¯s uncanny.


    ¡°You don¡¯t seem to mind,¡± I reply as I sit on the couch and drop my strapless top.


    She lifts her hand up showing me her ring finger, ¡°I¡¯m his wife, I don¡¯t get a pass there.¡± Sheughs at


    her own joke and I smile, because she is correct. When you marry someone you marry their quirks.


    ¡°Are you d to be home?¡± I ask her. She got home 3 weeks back, but I only saw her for the first time


    ¡°Yup, my kid has gone so big, she¡¯s almost a whole new child. And I keep telling Zero he needs to stop


    feeding her that growing milk, but men never listen.¡±


    ¡°Well, they do when it¡¯s football,¡± I wink as I grimace when Kaleb sucks harder than usual.


    ¡°You should use that numbing cream, else you are going to have no nipples left by the time he is ready


    for a cup.¡±


    ¡°Thanks for looking after him, I hope it wasn¡¯t an issue?¡±


    ¡°Of course, I don¡¯t like parties, so if you ever need a babysitter and I¡¯m around, I¡¯ll happily be one. Plus,


    Talin loved being the big one for a change. I didn¡¯t mention Joe was older, because that would just piss


    her off,¡± Beggar says with a smile.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t had the chance to meet her as yet,¡± And that was partially my fault.


    Killer and Frost offered a few times, but I refused since it required me leaving Kaleb behind. Natasha


    was not talking to me after the bike ride with Killer, and I didn¡¯t know how to talk to her.


    I knew he had feelings for Natasha. Caring for her might be the way he described it, but they were


    there. And she clearly felt the same way, even if she never mentioned it.


    I wasn¡¯t sure how I felt about it, but my feelings didn¡¯t really matter in this case. We hugged, and we


    danced bute tomorrow the two of them would leave together and I don¡¯t know what to say about


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    that. Her father agreed that Natasha going home was a good idea until lockdown lifted. And Killer


    mentioned leaving, but he said nothing abouting back.


    ¡°Earth to Sin, I lost you over there,¡± Beggar says, and I see my boy has stopped sucking, so I slip my


    bra and dress into ce and look at her as I put him on my shoulder and rub his back.


    Her eyes are so ck and right now seeing way more than I want to share.


    ¡°You know, sometimes the eyes aren¡¯t meant for seeing the obvious. Killer wouldn¡¯t have left his club,


    with no sleep in two days to go for a ride telling no one where he¡¯s going. SO whatever you are


    thinking, I suggest you take a step out of your mind for a few moments and see things from another


    person¡¯s perspective.¡±


    ¡°What difference is that going to make?¡± I get up but Beggar¡¯s words stop me, ¡°I once thought I was


    incapable of loving a man, until I learned to love the parts of myself I spent so many years hating, then


    loving Zero was as simple as breathing. Killer might be unwilling to love, but you are capable of loving


    him enough for the both of you, and that man that got on that bike knows that, and it scares the fuck


    out of him.¡±


    I leave her and take Kaleb upstairs for his morning bath. I¡¯m just finishing up when I hear the rumble of


    his bike.


    I settle Kaleb on the bed, lying and kicking, and I don¡¯t hide myself as I go to the window and watch


    Killer get off his bike, and ce his helmet on the seat. He is such a sight that if heaven ever sent a


    fallen angel to earth, it would have to be Kevin Stone.


    Frost gets off her bike and leans against her ride, taking her helmet off as River does the same.


    They are both staring at him, and it happens so fast. One moment he is calm and then next he kicks his


    bike until it falls and topples over the other bikes. He carries on delivering his anger on the machine.


    I watch as my heart spikes to overdrive, my stomach drops as the bikers around him walk closer, but


    not one of them stop him.


    His hair swings as his entire body moves with the force of his kick. I have seen Killer ruffled the night


    he shoved me in a car and told me to leave. But this is unfamiliar territory for me and for once I don¡¯t


    want to step into the fire.


    I hear heavy breathing and I turn around, realizing it¡¯s me.


    My body spins again, and I look out the window, but he is gone. Zero and River, along with the others,


    are picking up the bikes, including his dented one.


    My mind reels. There is a part of me wanting to go downstairs and find him, but the other part, the part


    that holds me hostage, knows that Kevin Stone was never meant to be mine.


    The door opens, I turn around and there he is, standing there.


    When I first met Kevin Stone, I always pictured him growing up wearing a suit. When he joined the


    army, I pictured him wearing army pants, and now as an adult, I am looking at him, and I need not


    picture who the boy would be as a man, because I can already see it.


    And what a man he is.


    I never wanted to admit to the wrongs of my past. So, I spent years running away from demons that


    were never really mine.


    I convinced myself, if I avoided the problem, he¡¯d seize to exist, but here he is staring at me, holding


    me to a standstill by just his presence, and for once I don¡¯t want to run but I have to.


    I never wanted Kevin Stone to want me, never needed him to see me, and I told myself he didn¡¯t.


    My feelings for him were always meant to be from a far. Gabriel used to say, that sometimes the stars


    aligned in ways we were never meant to understand. Human nature just found it easier to enjoy, if it


    made sense.


    But if we looked closer we couldn¡¯t understand it, no matter how many years people dedicated to it,


    because some things in life were just meant to be not understood.


    I would like to think my feelings for Kevin are just that, not understood. Because how do I love a man


    that will never feel for me? How is it I breathe deeper in his presence, when for thest 10 years he


    hasn¡¯t even acknowledged my existence? Until now.


    And even though he is standing by the door, looking at me as if I am the object of his affection, my


    silence is screaming at him to see me.


    ¡°I can¡¯t love you, Kevin,¡± I tell him, because why waste his time, why torture myself more.


    ¡°Why not? Am I so bad, I can''t be loved, because I am pretty sure you love me Sienna,¡± He says it as if


    he has always known it and I bet he has.


    ¡°The day I love you, you are going to leave me.¡± My momma left, the Frankfurts too, and I am pretty


    sure thedy who gave birth to me and dropped me at the orphanage left.


    ¡°But I wille back, this is who I AM!¡± He walks closer to me and I step back until my back hits the


    window.


    ¡°I know Kevin, and you know that this is who I am. You said it yourself, 10 years ago, I am not the one


    you wanted then, and definitely not the one you want now,¡± My eyes well up, at the memory of that


    awful day, ¡°I spent most of my life running, pretending, moving. And then I saw you, I was only 8, you


    have been looking through me my whole life, and now you just barely starting to see me but I tell you


    Kevin if you dig hard and deep enough you will be disappointed in how ordinary I am. I am not


    Natasha. I have never been her.¡±


    ¡°I know that,¡± He walks closer and is wise to keep his hands to himself.


    ¡°So tell me, I love you with all my heart and she walks through that door right now and tells you she


    loves you and wants you, you will choose me. You tell me that I will give you my heart. You already own


    every other piece of me.¡± I look at him and his eyes say it all.


    Kevin will never love me, he isn''t capable of that. Because of that very reason, his feelings for Natasha


    will alwayse first. How do I me a soldier who has given his entire life for our country for not


    loving me, when he can''t even love himself?


    ¡°Natasha is the only one for you, Kevin. You helped me and Kaleb and for that I will always be grateful,


    but your need to protect me is not enough.¡±


    ¡°You don''t know what the fuck you are talking about, Sienna. I have been yours since you and your


    sister knocked on my door 20 years ago.¡±


    ¡°Then be hers for 20 more.¡± I walk away from Killer, and my heart bleeds, but life taught me hard


    lessons. And one of those, was Kevin Stone was never meant to belong to me.


    I leave him alone with Kaleb, knowing my boy would be fine and I head downstairs and out the back


    door, straight to the hilltop.

 Chapter 31 (Killer)

    Chapter 31 (Killer)


    Frost is the first one to sit down. The room is packed with all 14 of us. We just started lockdown 2 days


    ago, but I got back today. I looked for Sienna, but it seems she didn¡¯t want to be found. And River


    wanted to get the meeting done. He was going to be streaming in, since he decided to do his lockdown


    from his house. Zero and Beggar decided the same.


    Their ces were under surveince, so if something looked suspicious and we needed to hightail it to


    their ces we could.


    Zero sets up the projector and the screen splits with Zero and Beggar on one side and River on the


    other.


    ¡°As you all know, we are now under lockdown, doesn¡¯t mean we should let our guard down and just lie


    low. We started negotiations with the Chainsaws again. The President isn¡¯t buying into Natasha¡¯s story,


    so our next n of action would be to find out who killed the guy and hand the person over,¡± River


    says.


    ¡°Did Natasha say anything to you on the way to Liston?¡± Snakes asks me.


    ¡°No,¡± I tell him honestly. Thing is I hardly said two words to her on the way. I wasn¡¯t the best of


    I knew she felt something for me, I just needed to find a way to get her to admit it.


    ¡°Alright, Storm will talk to you guys about shifts and the rest of the stuff. I need to get some things


    handed to National. DOES anybody else have something to add?¡± River asks, and I can see he is tired.


    Frost stands up, she is in the middle of the room, wearing a blue jumpsuit, ¡°I¡¯m iming Storm¡¯s ass,"


    She says.


    And I take a deep breath, so I don¡¯t pull her out of here by her ear. Everyone else just startsughing


    and talking.


    River looks like he is holding his own choice of words down.


    "That isn¡¯t how it works," Storm says and I take a step deeper into the shadow.


    "Are you a sexist," After stands up flicking her knife.


    "No," Storm says, looking at After¡¯s knife.


    ¡°Then what¡¯s the problem? We good to be member, why the fuck can¡¯t we im someone?¡± After


    stands up for Frost and I watch the men start to squirm.


    Stormughs, and wisely doesn¡¯t look at me.


    "Fine, I''ll take it."


    I say nothing, and listen as the other discuss duties and other nonsense. I give my sister a minute


    before I follow her out and stay behind her as she walks to Storms room. He runs after her, ignoring


    me, which is a good move.


    "What are you doing?" Storm asks her, looking all kinds of worried. I stay by the staircase and watch


    both of them.


    "Moving in."


    "This is my room," He says like she didn¡¯t know that.


    Frost puts her hand on his chest, and it is funny how his eyes widen.


    ¡°Sugar you either sleeping right here next to me or you can go downstairs, there is a sofa with you


    name on it and blue balls."


    They have a stare off and eventually Storm smiles. shaking his head.


    He kisses her head, "I missed you. Was wondering when you will stop the waiting game.¡± I decide to


    leave them for now, because my stomach feels like it wants to be emptied on both of them. I don¡¯t miss


    the sneaky nce Frost gives me. My sister was ying a dangerous game, I hope she was ready for


    the fuck fest she was asking for.


    ¡°Killer can we talk for moment,¡± Snake asks from my bedroom door. I pause my game and put my


    remote down on the bed. My hands go behind my back, as I arch my brow.


    ¡°River wants an update on Sienna¡¯s situation. Did you get any head?¡±


    ¡°Not yet, she¡¯s rejected me after every turn. Texas suggested giving her what she wanted, I¡¯m trying but


    she refuses to take it.¡±


    Snake rolls his eyes and closes my door. Snake and I grew up together, like me we never belonged in


    Liston Hills, but where I had no emotions, he soaked in it. Which made him more dangerous, because


    emotions is what turned people into monsters and sick fucks. The club kept him grounded but I


    wouldn¡¯t want to see the day he got pissed off.


    ¡°So what? You decided toy on some killer charm and thought she¡¯ll fall into your hands like putty?


    What¡¯s next, ask her to marry you?¡±


    I shrug my shoulder, it crossed my mind. I needed a wife anyway and Sienna came with a kid so I didn¡¯t


    have to worry about having my own.


    ¡°Marry her, get the shit we want and kill her. Seems like a sound n.¡±


    The door opens and Sienna walks in as Snake steps back. She is looking at me like she hates me.


    ¡°You were using me?¡± She asks, and I don¡¯t move a muscle. Snake stands there, not sure whether or


    not to leave.

 Chapter 32 (Killer)

    Chapter 32 (Killer)


    ¡°You didn¡¯t really think I wanted you, did you? I told you before you are a cancer. You infest everything


    you touch.¡± It¡¯s a low blow, but I want to hurt her, and for once I am not sure why. I have always known


    the reason for my reactions, always inderstood the concepts behind every choice I made. I never stood


    in a situation not knowing why. This is my first.


    Her eyes fill with tears, but she stands there, staring at me, ¡°What did you hope to get from Killer, huh?¡±


    She says my name like it¡¯s bitter in her mouth.


    I get up slowly from my bed, not missing Frost and Storm standing by the door.


    ¡°I want the file, I told you.¡± I¡¯m honest, it is what I have always wanted from her, and I am not ashamed


    of my actions.


    She shakes her head, and stares at me with those light green eyes that have kept me awake for years.


    ¡°Then find it, because I told you there is no FUCKING file, alright,¡± She yells and her chest rises and


    falls in quick session.


    I walk closer to her and Storm, Frost and Mercy enter the room. My head tilts to the side and I stare at


    the woman who is a shade of the girl I once knew.


    ¡°Then maybe I should just kill you now.¡± My mind snaps and my body turns into the killer I was born to


    be as I grip her by her neck. The room erupts around me but that isn¡¯t what stops me, it¡¯s her fucking


    eyes.


    Those eyes stare at me, and I can¡¯t help myself when my mouth descends on hers.


    Our lips lock and everybody else isn¡¯t important. Sienna pushes me away and I stand there, as she


    ps me across the face and walks out.


    Nobody stops her.


    Frost and Mercy leave to follow her and Snake and Storm walk closer to me. I look at the empty


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    doorway.


    ¡°What the fuck just happened?¡± Storm asks, and I can¡¯t form any answer because truth is I don¡¯t know


    myself.


    ¡°Killer is in luurrvv,¡± Snake says, and i don¡¯t bother denying that.


    ¡°Yeah, and by the sounds of it he fucked that up properly.¡±


    Storm is right on target there.


    I knew I was feeling something the other day at theke and I knew it 10 years ago too. She was too


    young then, so I let her go and learned to cope by focusing on everything else.


    Hunting La down helped with that a lot but she haunted my fucking dreams and then out of


    nowhere, she showed up.


    When she showed up, I thought of every reason why she needed to die and convinced myself she was


    trouble. But the only reason Sienna Bray is trouble is because she ruffles me in a way that isn¡¯t in my


    DNA.


    Sienna was not supposed to be anyone even remotely on my radar. She was meant to stay as a


    nobody.

 Chapter 33 (Sienna)

    Chapter 33 (Sienna)


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe he was lying this whole time,¡± I screech.


    Frost rubs my back as Mercy sits with Kaleb on the bed, ying with his feet. I walk around the room,


    in circles, because my brain feels like it¡¯s moving in circles.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe he kissed you,¡± Frost says like it is puzzle she needs to solve. I didn¡¯t even want to think


    about the kiss. I kissed him back, after he wanted to kill me. What the hell was I even thinking?


    ¡°Oooh, Killer got a girlfriend,¡± Mercy says in a sing song voice and I re at her. But she must not be


    scared of me because she just smiles.


    ¡°I am not his girlfriend.¡±


    ¡°Okay, we have been in this room for half n hour saying the same shit, point is, my brother as dim


    witted and obviously has feelings for you and you have always felt something for him, so maybe you


    guys should..¡±


    A knock sounds at the door, and I look at Mercy and Frost with horror.


    ¡°It¡¯s him,¡± I hiss in a low whisper.


    ¡°Sienna open the door,¡± His voice is low and Frost gets that evil smile on her face as I jump on her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare,¡± I screech holding onto her, as she tries to get me off.


    Mercy walks over and unlocks the door and I quickly jump off my cousin and straighten my shirt.


    ¡°What do you want dipshit,¡± Frost says, standing by the door, blocking me in.


    ¡°Take Kaleb downstairs, we¡¯ll be there soon,¡± He tells Frost and she stands there doing nothing for a


    moment. My shoulders drop in relief and it¡¯s short lived when she bends her head, and Mercy wraps


    Kaleb up. I stand inplete shock as the both of them leave.


    ¡°Sorry Sin, he¡¯s a VP,¡± Mercy says on her way out. Traitor.


    Killer stands by my door, barefoot with jeans and a t-shirt. Why does he have to be so hot but such an


    asshole?


    ¡°Came to finish the job?¡± I ask him, we might as well get this over with.


    ¡°Something like that, sit down SIENNA,¡± Killer closes the door.


    ¡°I¡¯m okay standing.¡± I ce my hand on my hips, aware of the man in the room.


    He takes a seat on the edge of my unmade bed and rests his face on his hand.


    ¡°Do you know who Natasha reminds me of?¡± His question has my temperature rising.


    ¡°Some girl you bonged at a club?¡± I snipe.


    ¡°No, the girl who haunts me at night that I can¡¯t close my fucking eyes without seeing her face.¡±


    My mouth tightens, and I look everywhere else besides at him.


    ¡°Is she dead?¡±


    ¡°I convinced myself for years she was gone, because I told myself she was way more than an unfeeling


    fucker like me deserved. But no matter how hard I pushed she was there. You were there, Sienna. I


    looked for you thesest 10 years, contemting whether I wanted to kill you or kiss. I finally had my


    chance and thetter won.¡±


    ¡°No, I don¡¯t believe you, you hurt me. You are an unfeeling asshole,¡± I scream at him, walking closer to


    the bed where he sits, looking like a man. He is no man.


    Killer gets up and grabs me by both wrists, ¡°Do you honestly believe that Sienna? Do you think I¡¯m


    lying? I am an asshole, fuck, but do you honestly think I am lying to you?¡±


    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t know, let go of me.¡± He drops my hands but doesn¡¯t step back and neither do I.


    ¡°Kiss me,¡± He says, and I look at his lips.


    ¡°No, just leave, okay.¡±


    ¡°Sienna, kiss me, and tell me if I¡¯m lying,¡± His voice is like a whisper.


    "This is so wrong," I reply as my chest lifts and drops. His hands don¡¯t touch me, but the nearness of


    his body, the knowing of his wants, is enough. He wants me. Our attraction is evident, the chemistry,


    this now, his eyes, his slightly open mouth.


    "Kiss me Sienna."


    "I can''t Kevin." A tear slides down as I push him back.


    "What are you scared of Taylor, I already know who you are."


    "Don''t call me that," I snap at him.


    "But that is who you are, Taylor Sinir."


    "Who I am? This!" I pull at my cheeks, I point at my nose and circle my face, "Isn''t me, I¡¯m a fraud, a


    stic surgeon¡¯s makeup."


    He grabs my wrist again, "You are not that inside. You are the girl who drank my shitty milkshake 20


    years ago, looked me in the fucking eyes and told me it was the best milkshake you¡¯ve ever tasted.


    That girl, with brown hair, dimpled cheeks and light fucking green eyes that have haunted me, every


    night for ten fucking years. The only difference is now she is shaded by life. But not that."


    "I¡¯m the girl who tried to kill her sister¡¯s father out of jealousy, the one you kicked out of her home."


    He frowns, and swallows, "You that too, but how the fuck where you supposed to know he was her


    actual father? How were you supposed to know any of it? I should have said something but all I thought


    about was how different you were, and my need to protect Diamond overshadowed all of that, but Tay...


    Sin, you can''t say you haven''t passed that. You told me yourself, 10 years crazy girl changes people."


    "I remember when thedy dropped me at the home I was 4, and Diamond was just a baby then. When


    the Frankfurts came for us they were good people. I didn¡¯t know I wasn¡¯t an orphan."


    "They kidnapped you guys, to use you as a cover up."


    ¡°Maybe their reasons weren''t noble, but they were good people and the only parents we knew. Then


    Uncle Marcus took me to momma, and it was so good with her, she was always happy and funny. I


    loved her so much. But me, loving people seems to have a way of killing them.¡±


    ¡°Is that why you never told anyone who you were?¡±


    I shake my head, ¡°I never told anyone because if I did, I wouldn¡¯t have had watched Diamond grow up.¡±


    ¡°Come on,¡± He says as he grabs my hand and pulls me to the passage. I follow him, ignoring everyone


    else looking at us, because Killer is on a mission. I don¡¯t know what it is but I want to find out.


    He walks with me, till we are over the hill and pulls me down that I have no choice but to sit by the river,


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    with Killer next to me. The Southern sun is a breath-taking site to take in.


    ¡°Do you remember the time at theke¡± He asks me, and my heart spikes in that familiar ce, pain,


    longing.


    ¡°Yeah,¡± I mumble.


    ¡°I knew you were something special, crazy but special, and I felt something. I had nothing topare it


    to, so I convinced myself it was nothing but me doing what I had to.¡± I close my eyes at his words.


    He knows I want to believe him. I want to inhale him until he is deep within. And then I want to keep


    him there.


    ¡°You ran me out of town, took me away from my family. How do I let that go and move on?¡±


    ¡°You were never alone Sienna, you chose not toe. I ran you out, because a part of you wasn¡¯t


    really there. I hoped for years that you would realize that ande home, and here you are. You came


    back looking for your family, but what you never realized was we were always around waiting you.¡±


    Killer¡¯s words are true, deep inside I always knew where home was and over the years itforted me


    to know that it existed. Why I never showed up sooner was something only god could tell me. But I


    knew that life always had a reason for every direction and the one I took eventually led me here.


    ¡°I will never whisper sweet promises in your ear. And I am no Knight Sweet heart. I am the biggest


    asshole you will ever meet, and there will be times I would get on my bike and leave you after you are


    done swearing. Because you will swear me. But you and I would never be done Sin. You are my crazy


    girl, and that boy is my kid. I knew it that day I took a knife and cut him from your belly. It¡¯s the reason I


    put my name on the birth certificate, the reason I gave him my grandads name. Fuck Sin, I know things


    with Tash are fucked, and you have every reason not to want me, but I only need one and baby, I


    fucking love you.¡±


    Never in my 28 years on this earth have I ever thought I would hear those wordsing from Kevin


    Stones mouth. It breaks my heart and brings it back together all at the same time. We havee a


    long way, growing on our own. My path wasn¡¯t a smooth sail but it brought me to this moment and that


    is all I need to know that there is a God out there watching over me.


    I cry on his shoulder as he wraps his arms around me.


    ¡°I love you too Kevin,¡± He kisses my head, ¡°Let¡¯s get my boy from Mercy before she suffocates him with


    her tits.¡±


    I smack his arm and he holds me by the waist as we trek together back to our home.

 Chapter 34 (Sienna)

    Chapter 34 (Sienna)


    3 monthster


    Things with Killer were good, we didn¡¯t talk about the file since that day. And no one talked about the


    day he wanted to kill me. The clubhouse was on locked down but we still spent our days in the river


    and riding the horses which Iter found out was Killers.


    I went through Diamond¡¯s videos, but I always felt I was missing something. Killer got Michael to add


    other cameras in the ce but something wasn¡¯t adding up.


    Our interaction with Michael was good not just for Killer, but for Frost. She was texting him again and it


    made a difference to her life.


    We didn¡¯t make love, and it wasn¡¯t for myck of trying. But whenever I kissed him and I made a move


    for his pants he bolted up and made some excuse about something he had to do. I didn¡¯t mind,


    because we spent our nights in the same bed.


    Kaleb was getting big and sitting up and he looked like a small mini me.


    Frost took it upon herself to y Aunt Frosty, while the other bikers secured the Clubhouse.


    Texas was the only biker who kept his distance, and I knew why, I knew it the day I saw him all those


    months ago. I never forgot a face.


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°I have this feeling that one day you going to leave me Kevin and I am not going to get you back,¡± I tell


    Killer.


    Lockdown was about over, and while the pandemic still caused a lot of chaos around our states, there


    were worse things happening in my life at the moment to be worried about dying of Covid.


    One of those things was the call Killer got yesterday. He had to leave, and while I knew this day would


    ¡°I¡¯m a soldier Darling, I don¡¯t know how not to be. Ever since I left home, I have been fighting for my


    country, those men need me. The Koreans ain¡¯t going to let them go, so it is up to me and the guys to


    bring them back.¡±


    ¡°I was hoping for more time, but Raven is going to need you too and so is Spade and Snake,¡± I tell him,


    before I take his handsome face in my hands and kiss him gently on the lips. I knew the others were


    scared, and having Killer at their backs made it a bit easier.


    ¡°On Sunday there¡¯s a small church ceremony, thought we¡¯ll give it a go,¡± He says, but he doesn¡¯t


    mention it is also the day he is going to fetch Natasha to bring her back.


    ¡°Alright, but I¡¯m wearing jeans,¡± I tell him, and he smiles and I stare into his deep blue eyes that it


    brings tears to my own.


    ¡°Get some rest. My mother used to tell us praying could be tiring.¡± He kisses me on my lips before


    turning to put the light off.


    ¡°Your mother used to tell all of us that so she can go bong your dad.¡± Killer hits me with the pillow and I


    <pugh as he grabs me by the waist tugging me closer to his chest.

 Chapter 35 (Sienna)

    Chapter 35 (Sienna)


    ¡°Sin,¡± Killer yells again, and I am so close to the point of strangling him if he calls my name one more


    time.


    He was up at the crack of dawn and already showered.


    I woke up three times during the night to feed Kaleb without any help since Mister didn¡¯t want anyone in


    our bedroom when the door was closed.


    ¡°I¡¯ming,¡± I snap trying to get my jeans up my ass.


    He takes me to a church with Kaleb at the back of the car. We jump out and Mercy, After, and Frost are


    waiting outside.


    My cousin looks sexy in a white figure hugging dress and ck heels.


    Mercy is wearing a purple number and After has on a pants suit.


    Their hair are styled and makeup done to the 9¡¯s. I look down at my jeans and then at my boyfriend,


    who is holding Kaleb to his chest, also in a suit.


    ¡°Don¡¯t look at me, you wanted to wear jeans.¡± Boy does he look sexy in his shades.


    ¡°Come on, the service is about to begin,¡± After rushes us.


    We get into the church and I frown because it is just the people from the Clubhouse and maybe one or


    two other faces.


    I sit down next to Killer and we listen to the sermon.


    ¡°Before we leave here today, someone has asked to say a few words.¡±


    I look around waiting for the person to get up. Frost stands up next to me and so does Killer who hands


    Kaleb to Frost.


    He takes my hand and pulls me up, we walk down to where the Priest is standing.


    Killers blue eyes look at me, for a moment. And I am curious as to what he wants to say in front of all


    these people.


    ¡°You told me you want a home, I got you one,¡± He point behind me, ¡°You wanted a family, I gave you a


    clubhouse full of members. You told me you want me, here I am Sweetheart and I¡¯m not going


    anywhere.¡± He says and looks at me, and I smile with tears in my eyes because he is going.


    ¡°What is this Killer?¡± I ask him.


    He bends down on both knees and pulls up a box. His face lifts to face me, ¡°Marry me Taylor.¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t want my surname I¡¯ll take yours,¡± He says as he waits for my answer.


    I look behind me and see all of the guys all in the church standing up, with their leather jackets on.


    ¡°One condition.¡±


    He smiles and my heart fills, ¡°Anything.¡±


    ¡°Marry me now.¡±


    He stares at me, ¡°Yeah, now sounds perfect to me."


    He slips the ring on my finger, and it¡¯s shaped in a sun of diamonds, with a big yellow one in the center.


    It¡¯s stunning. Because it reminds me of momma.


    The room erupts as everybody startsughing and yelling congrats.


    ¡°Any of you got a problem with me getting hitched now?¡± Killer asks them and if anyone did I don¡¯t think


    he cares.


    ¡°What about mama?¡± Frost asks.


    ¡°Video call her,¡± I snap at Frost.


    ¡°Sure thing.¡±


    Killer turns to the Priest, who is smiling, and I recognize him from Liston Hills.


    ¡°Father, I haven¡¯t been to church in a while but my mother raised us in a Catholic home. I have killed


    men, women, and even children. Some were good, some were bad, but I hope I¡¯ve saved many more


    lives than the ones I¡¯ve taken. And I probably won¡¯t be returning to church to confess about the other


    lives I will take in the future. But, I believe there is a God out there and that God sent this woman to my


    door when I was only thirteen, and I believe it was so that I could make an honest woman out of her,


    make my momma happy and marry this girl. You married my parents, and my uncles and my brother, I


    hope you will marry us Father Klirk.¡±


    The priest looks as though he might cry, but touches Killer¡¯s shoulder, ¡°You were born to be a soldier of


    god son. I would be honored.¡±


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    The room apuds, we stand in front of FATHER Klirk.


    ¡°Wait,¡± Frost yells, ¡°She can¡¯t get married in jeans.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t care,¡± I snap at Frost but she is running down the aisle in her heels.


    ¡°I do, which is why I was smart enough to put a white dress on. Trust you to wear a jeans to church.¡±


    She drags me away and the other woman rush after us. I take 10 minutes to put Frosts dress on and


    get back to my man.


    He is waiting for me and I stand next to him as Father Klirk gives a small speech about marriage.

 Chapter 36 (Sienna)

    Chapter 36 (Sienna)


    ¡°Do you take Kevin Stone, to be yourwfully wedded husband through sickness and in health, for long


    as you both shall live?¡±


    I look at Killer and I think of him when gets older, greying hair and scowling face. And it fills my heart


    with so much love. Beggar was right when she said I have enough love for the both of us.


    ¡°Yes, I do.¡±


    ¡°Do you take Sienna Bray to be yourwfully wedded wife through sickness and in health for as long as


    you both shall live?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I do.¡±


    ¡°Then by the power invested in me by our heavenly father, I now pronounce you Mr and Mrs Stone.


    Son, you may kiss your bride.¡±


    Killer smiles as he pulls me in and kisses me, deeply. Frost is the first one to reach us, giving me a


    man¡¯s ring, which I slip on Killer¡¯s finger. The others all crowd us with hugs and kisses. Beggar and


    Killer share a moment and he kisses her head.


    We leave the church, both of us insisting we spend our night together with Kaleb.


    Killer, Kaleb and I head to theplex the Clubhouse owned where Killer already furnished a home for


    us while we wait for Frost to finish her two years. We made an informed decision and Frost agreed that


    she¡¯ll stay with us.


    We never spoke about it in detail, but I felt Killer wanted us to all head home to Liston Hills to mend our


    bridges. A part of him wanted Kaleb to meet his family and know his uncles. But he also wanted his


    sister to see her parents.


    I wanted that too.


    We spend most of the morning enjoying our new ce. Kaleb rolls around on the y mat while I make


    a snack. Frost calls us at 1pm, to let us know they were all waiting for us.


    I shower and slip into shorts and an off the shoulder shirt and some sandals. Killer puts on his leather


    pants and his million and one piercings.


    He gives me the deepest kiss imaginable.


    ¡°I¡¯m d I waited,¡± He says, ¡°But my balls are fucking killing me.¡± Iugh as we walk out of the house


    and I am still smiling once we are all in the car.


    We park our car next to Frost¡¯s Mercedes, Michael sent.


    ¡°How are the two newlyweds, get some action yet?¡± Knight asks waggling his eye brows.


    Killer walks past him and smacks him on the head. As I get Kaleb from the back of the car.


    ¡°Move your ass bitch, I¡¯m hungry,¡± After screams from the front door.


    ¡°Then eat,¡± I tell her.


    Killer waits for Kaleb and I, and takes Kaleb from my arms. He puts his free hand around my waist and


    we walk with Knight to the Clubhouse.


    Knight takes Kaleb when we get to the door. And Killer smiles, and lifts me up bride style, carrying me


    into the house. The calls and whistles are loud as he carries me to the lounge where everyone is


    waiting.


    I see Chadley, Venus, Whisp and Bull setting the table. Everyone is joyous. River and Hannah


    congratte us first.


    ¡°You finally got him wrapped around your finger,¡± Hannah muses as she hugs me.


    ¡°Well, it was about fucking time,¡± Texas says and I am surprised. Since he hasn¡¯t said many words to


    me.


    I HUG him, ¡°Thanks Texas.¡± I tell him and I leave that thanks to be loaded with more than just this


    moment. He saved our lives 20 years ago.


    He touches my chin, ¡°Look after him kid, they don¡¯t make them like that any longer.¡±


    His meaning is clear and I nod my head in understanding. The rest of the club congrattes us. After


    gives me a gift, and tells me to open itter.


    A hand touches me on the back and I twist my neck to see Natasha. She is smiling but I see the


    sadness in her gaze as she stares at me. I hug, and my heart breaks for hurting her. I never wanted it


    to be this way between us. We were always close and I hope we will remain so even though I married


    to Killer. And that makes me selfish bitch.


    ¡°Congrattions cuz, keep him happy,¡± She says and a tear falls down her face. Killer wipes it away


    and my heart seizes.


    I say nothing, because I am his wife, he married me.


    We go to the table and after a few speeches and someughs, we eat. The roast and veggies are


    delicious. Not what I panned to have on my wedding day but I will live.


    We talk about growing up and for once Frost doesn¡¯t close off, when we mention Liston Hills and her


    brothers, and sister, Victoria. I tell them about our time at camp, during the summer holidays, when


    Frost caught a snake and put it under Killer¡¯s pillow hoping to get a reaction out of him. He took the


    same snake and put it in Mason¡¯s bag.


    Conversation flies as we eat and enjoy the moment, but I can¡¯t shake the feeling of Natasha staring at


    me. I know she is hurting.


    ¡°Sodies, it¡¯s time to ride,¡± Spade says rubbing his hands together.


    ¡°As is customary, the bride needs to sit on her haunches, Hannah and Beggar as well. No married


    women allowed,¡± Snake voices as Hannah points to her belly.


    Beggar just ignores them, and talks to After. I smile at her no care attitude. I can see why Zero chose


    her.


    ¡°What must I do?¡± Natasha asks.


    ¡°You can ride with me,¡± Killer says and my heart drops, like someone just threw ice water and woke me


    up from a dream.


    ¡°Get that shit out of your head, I need to do this,¡± Killer says.


    ¡°What? Go fuck my cousin?¡± I yell, and get up walking away.


    I leave the table and Killer follows me to the kitchen where Mercy and Knight stand by the sink washing


    dishes.


    ¡°What¡¯s the problem SIENNA? You have my ring on your finger, we just got married,¡± He asks and that


    is the big question isn¡¯t it. What is Sienna¡¯s problem?


    ¡°Maybe you married me, but she still has feelings for you, okay. Shit like that doesn¡¯t die because you


    decided to marry me.¡±


    ¡°How the fuck is that my problem?¡± He asks.


    ¡°It bes your problem when you tell her to get on the back of your bike,¡± I yell.


    ¡°It¡¯s the way things go around here, Natasha is closest to me, so she¡¯s on my back, it¡¯s the way it


    works. I¡¯m not fucking her,¡±


    ¡°Oh, but I am sure you want to, because you certainly aren¡¯t fucking me either,¡± I scream.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    He looks at me and breathes.


    ¡°Yeah, Killer breathe,¡± I say and walk past him.


    I am fuming and my temper doesn¡¯t get better when I hear the bikes rumble. I burst into tears and I


    have no idea why I lost my shit with him.


    ¡°Sienna,¡± The deep dry voice calls.


    ¡°Here,¡± I tell Beggar, wiping my eyes.


    ¡°What was all that shit about? Why you disrespect your man like that? On your wedding day too. That


    wasn¡¯t cooldy.¡±


    ¡°I have known Kevin stone all my life and half of that life I have loved him for everything that made him


    Beggar. Knowing he couldn¡¯t give that to me made me love him more. When he put that ring on my


    finger I felt like I had finallye home. Because that is what he is to me, Beggar, he is my home. And


    I don¡¯t wanna be homeless.¡± I cry, I do it loudly and Beggar grabs my shoulder,


    ¡°Fuck, alright, Sshhh, sweetheart, Killer will be fine, it¡¯s your wedding day. He¡¯s here now, so go be with


    him. Don¡¯t fight about shit with that bitch. He¡¯s your man and tomorrow he¡¯s gotta go so make the most


    of today. TRUST me tears dry up but memories live a bit longer. So make them count¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s gone with Natasha,¡± I say.


    Her ck eyes stare at me, ¡°Yeah, he is also gone with 13 other biker¡¯s sweet heart.¡± She holds me at


    it feels good to be held by a woman.

 Chapter 37 (Sienna)

    Chapter 37 (Sienna)


    Beggar and I decided to stop at the shops for some ice-cream. We got back to the clubhouse an hour


    ago.


    I¡¯m sitting in front of the television on the carpeted floor trying to watch The sh, I am a huge Marvel


    fan. I had a collection ofic books to prove it. Kaleb is on his back kicking his legs, fist in his mouth


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    talking in his loud babynguage.


    Frost, Mercy, Beggar and After were taking up the one long seater, whilst Bull and a biker named


    Radar took the 2 seater. The two of them stayed with us in case something happened. The club was


    overly cautious.


    Natasha hasn¡¯t gotten back as yet, since her ride with Killer. My doing. I couldn¡¯t tell her she couldn¡¯t go


    on a ride with Killer, because it made me jealous. And frankly I doubt it would have made a difference


    since Killer was dead set on going for a ride with Natasha on his back, and at that stage I doubted that


    whatever I said would have changed the oue.


    My mouth got the better of me, and although I tried to be happy since it was my wedding day, I felt like


    shit, Because Beggar was right.


    Mercy and Bull said nothing after I practically lost my shit at him. Frost told me that Killer was a patient


    man, but I went too far. You always know how to bring out the worst in him. Her parting words still make


    me cringe at how true they are.


    After however didn¡¯t see the need to shut up and gave it to me straight, ¡°You don¡¯t do that to a man in


    front of his brother¡¯s, you want to be his woman then you need to learn respect. Respect the brother,


    respect the club. You behaved like a bitch today, you haven¡¯t earned the ranks, or even a fucking sliver


    of right to talk to my Vice President that way. You are a piece of work, you know that.¡± It hurt when she


    left me alone, because out of all the women, including Frost, who was my cousin, After was the one


    who imed me as a friend.


    And as my friend she calmed down after handing me my ass and the girls sat in the chair waiting for


    Killer, Natasha and the others toe back. It has been two hours.


    After didn¡¯t give me any questioning looks as the others did, when Killer didn¡¯t put Kaleb down for his


    afternoon nap like he was going to.


    That was his thing. For the past 3 months Killer never missed his nap time, even when he left to go on


    Club business he still made sure he video called.


    Since the Covid thing started this year, we have kept a very low key profile. They were talking about


    another lockdown and the clubhouse was already on standby in case it happened.


    The rumble bikes can be heard and I am the first one to run toward the window, peering out. They were


    back.


    I torture myself watching Natasha and Killer. The pain hits me at how great a couple they should be, I


    cringe when she pulls off her helmet, giving him a smile. I don¡¯t know what he is saying because he still


    has his helmet on.


    I turn away from the window, as thedies remain, but I don¡¯t miss the subtle touch Mercy gives me on


    my arm.


    I look down at my boy. His eyes are a light green, like my own. They are so curious, looking


    everywhere as he sucks his little fist in his mouth. I go down on the carpet, forgetting the television, the


    ¡°One day I will take you to the beach house in L.A, I think you will love sitting in the sun,¡± I tell him as I


    cup his small cheek.


    I ignore the sounds behind me; thedies walking back in.


    Killer¡¯s boots are right in front of Kaleb and I, then he is bending and lifting my little boy up and into his


    arms. Where he belongs.


    Maybe when the timees and I have to leave it won¡¯t be so hard knowing he¡¯ll have the love of this


    man, who ims to not understand the human emotion. Well, besides the fact that he loves us both.


    Natashaes to stand behind him, cooing Kaleb. Her short hair looking a bit ruffled from the ride.


    I can¡¯t hate Tash, I can only love her. She is my best friend, my cousin. Killer is a man that never got a


    taste of sweet, Tash can be that for him. He needs sweet, not a bitch. Not me. I have so many


    skeletons in my closet.


    The look he gives me, sensing my thoughts, says maybe I am right.


    ¡°Let me take him for a bit,¡± Natasha whines in a sweet voice.


    I wait to hear the no, but I don¡¯t. I watch him actually give Kaleb to her. That is a first, even I have to


    fight Killer for my boy. Not sure why it pains, but it does. I drop my gaze aware his are steel, making the


    room cold as he stands there after Natasha moves away with Kaleb.


    ¡°Leave.¡± His voice whips the air and I am not stupid to know he is talking to everyone else. That is


    Killer, still a bossy Stone. Always getting his way. I remain on the floor, refusing to look at his face


    because it will mean staring up at him, and now that we are alone I don¡¯t want to. He has other ideas


    as he walks slowly behind me, he makes me stiffen, not knowing what this man will do.

 Chapter 38 (Sienna)

    Chapter 38 (Sienna)


    He shocks me when he sits behind me, legs open, wedging me between them. I bend my own legs,


    and cross them, readying myself to get up. And I manage it until his one leg swipes under my feet, so


    swift and smooth, that I fall and he catches me with his arm around my waist, cradling me in hisp.


    His eyes are fucking beautiful, he has that Orniel blue eyes. It looks like an electric blue.


    ¡°Finish throw your tantrum?¡± He asks.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± It takes a lot for me to say that, but not a lot for him to ept it, when his lips twitch.


    ¡°I don¡¯t mind it when we¡¯re alone. It makes you wild and shameless, and that is the Sienna I know.¡±


    I nod my head in understanding, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have said it in front of the guys and women.¡±


    He gives me a contemtive look be his one finger touches lightly on my nose, ¡°Yes, which is why I


    have to punish you. I can¡¯t be showing you preferential treatment over everyone else. My baby mama


    or not.¡±


    I quirk at the baby mamament, until I digest the other part, ¡°Wait what?¡±


    His face shows an amused look, ¡°You heard me.¡±


    ¡°Maybe I am deaf, because what I think I heard and what you think I heard must be different.¡±


    He now full on smiles, ¡°What I think you heard and what you think you heard is what you heard,


    darling.¡±


    I try to sit up, but mister has other ns when he puts his hand on my stomach.


    ¡°I like you like this. Soon you¡¯d be pregnant with my spawn, I won¡¯t have this for a while.¡±


    Iugh.


    ¡°I am fucking d I married you, Sienna.¡±


    ¡°I am too Kevin.¡±


    Deno¡¯s warning sizzles in my head, frying away the healthy thoughts and leaving all the grime behind.


    He left me a wedding message this morning.


    If you don¡¯t leave soon, you¡¯d put the entire club at risk, and Kaleb in danger. Killer will never forgive


    you if he found out what you did. Leave Sienna, we¡¯ll protect you and Killer will keep the rest safe while


    we finish this.


    I brush the thought aside as Killer sits on the floor rummaging through the toys. Shaking my head, I


    head outside to pick up the nket we put on the porch. Knight is standing by the main gate with


    Mercy. Mercy waves showing me thumbs up, and Knight pushes her chest in a yful manner. Mercy


    calls me closer, and I run toward the gate.


    I topple over my feet, as the first hit goes straight to my stomach. My arm is knocked back by the


    second hit, my leg goes down with the third.


    I have pictured my death in every scenario.


    Falling off a cliff been the unlikeliest way I would die. I was so scared of heights there was not one thing


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    about it I would consider funny. Growing up, my Uncle knew taking me on a ne anywhere would not


    happen without some serious Sienna tantrum. So he braced himself for days in advance before we left.


    And then, too, I ended up either on a boat, in a car, or staying behind. So dying by falling off a cliff,


    building or anything with height was not happening. And I loved myself way too much to even consider


    changing that.


    Getting eaten by a shark was an impossibility since I didn¡¯t skirt the ocean¡¯s waters regrly on any


    basis. I kept to the safe parts of the beach and mostly just let the water wash over me from the safe


    side of the shore.


    A car knocking me whilst I ran across the road was the silliest way I could die, and also not a possibility


    I would have considered. Seen as I lived in an enormous house most of my life in a small stuck up town


    called Liston Hills designed solely for the wealthiest people and their rich stuck up kids. They never


    saw me walking on the road, besides the distance it took me to get to my motorbike, or car.


    Choking on chocte cake? Yes, I could die like that, I devoured a lot of cake and my ass showed just


    how much of it I ate. Running until my limbs fell apart? It was a possibility. I ran a lot, that however did


    not show anywhere on my body. Maybe getting killed was the best option. That happened a lot to me,


    considering I was never the one they wanted. Andst, falling off my motorbike would not happen in the


    near future since my bike now sat at my uncle¡¯s penthouse in Washington.


    Over thest 28 years of my existence, I have imagined every likely way I could die. Old age, not one


    of them because I knew death wanted me sooner. I was too wild not to ept an invitation.


    And an invitation I epted the day I chose to choose Harlin¡¯s life over mine. I can¡¯t say I regret it,


    because blood wasn¡¯t what made us sisters. It was the love in my heart. These passing months were


    my small bit of borrowed time. God¡¯s gift to an orphaned child. It was more than I had hoped for and


    although I didn¡¯t see this day, I knew it woulde.


    The blood drips out of my mouth, and the Sun shines so fucking bright it brings tears in my eyes. His


    face, his arm under me, I can feel him all around me looking at me.


    ¡°Don¡¯t leave me darlin¡¯ please no. Sienna,¡±


    ¡°I bet momma sees me now doesn¡¯t she,¡± I cough out the liquid.


    ¡°She¡¯s ain¡¯t liking what she¡¯s seeing sweetheart. Please, hang in there.¡±


    ¡°Under the bed,¡± I say to him as I try to lift my hand just onest time. I knew before I died I would have


    to give him closure. I hope he gets it and moves on.


    I never knew how my end woulde, but a sinner dying in the arms of a soldier was a good way to


    go.
