Page 64 of Cage's Fall

I blinked back tears. Why did I let him in? Everyone told me not to, but did I listen? No. And now my heart was throbbing because of it, and I had myself to blame.

CAGE

“So you slept with the cop, to get the case closed, so Autumn didn’t find out and leave the club. So she wouldn’t leave you. Only for her to walk in on you with the cop?” Aaron went to clarify my shitty situation.

I didn’t say anything.

“So you cheated on her?”

My eyes snapped to him. “Her and I weren’t officially together.”

Jacob scoffed. “Man, you bought her a $300k car.” He then glanced across the room. “Admit it you loved her.” He then had a smirk on his face when he looked back at me.

I couldn’t admit it. Because it wasn’t loved. It was love. I love Autumn. But I knew there was no chance I’d get her back.

Chapter Thirty Three

CAGE

“God can you get any more depressed?” Holly muttered. “Honestly Cage, just have a conversation with Autumn!”

“What’s the point? It won’t bring her back.”

Holly’s hand slapped the table in front of me. Causing my eyes to bounce up and look at her. “You don’t know that Cage. How do you know a simple sorry, won’t fix this?”

“Because I know her! You and her, have been friends for a week. Don’t act like you don't know how she is taking this.”

Holly frowned. “That’s just it Cage. She’s taking it fine. Hell, if you had done it to me, I would have burnt that car you bought. But she hasn’t. She’s fine.” She sighed and pointed at Aaron. “Aaron even agrees with me. That you’re the one that has taken this hard.”

“Yeah well you and Aaron can fuck off in the sunset together.”

“That’s it. Mope in the corner, with an endless bar tab. I’m sick of telling you to make a move.” She got up and left, and I wrapped my hand around the whiskey glass.

“Oh. You’ve got to be fucking kidding me!” Jacob said loudly across the bar, and his eyes were on the door. I looked at what had his attention and saw the N.F brothers. But I didn’t give a fuck that the serial killers were paying us a visit. What I couldn’t take my eyes off, was F’s arm around my Autumn.

And she was fucking grinning like an idiot.

What the fuck was going on? For them to be in town was a big deal. For them to be at the club, was another.

The N.F brothers were as lethal as the injection itself. It was rumoured that they had a connection to The Vultures but I had never personally known how or why. For them to be at the mother Chapter meant they had a connection here, to the belly of The Vultures.

Hawk was in prison. They would know that.

So why were they here?

Aaron and I shared a look. The twins were unpredictable. They would react to any situation with guns or fists. They were hotter headed then me- which was saying something. Ticking bombs they were. So why the fuck were they in town?

They were the cancer of the gangsters. They didn’t have a moral code. They just did what fitted them.

They would bend rules, or break them, to fit their circumstances. As F said once, he only felt right, when he was doing wrong. And wrong he did- by everyone, including his twin.

So why the fuck was Autumn near him?

“Here for a word with Autumn,” N said. “We need a room.”

I looked at Aaron. He better fucking say something.

“She’s under club protection. So that word you are here to have, would be with me.” Aaron said and I saw the glint in F’s eyes, as he looked at Aaron.
