“That’s not a problem, Janessa.Their ride is here for them and will show in in just a second.See, they have a problem takin’ bribes from clients and have tried to bribe several judges and a senator to get what they want.We have evidence of all their crimes and they’ll be goin’ to jail.Plus, they gave Roger and his parents money twice when you were put in the hospital.I’m guessin’ the beatin’ you got those times had somethin’ to do with them and somethin’ you had done to them,” Brick states, his voice hard and cold as Janessa sucks in a deep breath and her body starts trembling in my arms.

This isn’t something she knew anything about and is shocked to say the least.

“Are you fucking kidding me!”Aaron explodes walking up next to his sister and wrapping an arm around her shoulders.“Don’t ever fucking contact me again for any reason.You’re fucking dead to me.”

“The same goes for me,” Daniel adds, stepping behind his sister with Joseph at his side.

“I agree with them.You’re no longer our parents and only have Nicole to rely on moving forward.I hope she gives you what you want and need because you’re done.No money, visits, or anything else from here on out.Fuck both of you,” Joseph adds in his opinion on the situation as I watch Mrs.Burns’ face pale as she realizes how much trouble she’s in and what’s about to happen.

“You have no evidence because nothing like that ever happened,” she finally lies.“Boys, you can’t disown us.We’re your parents!”

“No.You’re our sperm donor and an incubator.Parents don’t treat their children the way you have Janessa.This is us standing up for our sister because she is a loving, funny, smart, capable, and caring person.You’ll never find anyone else like her in the world and it’s you who lost out on knowing what a truly amazing person she is,” Aaron shouts in his mom’s face before Homicide pulls him back.

I turn Janessa toward me and get down on one knee knowing this is going to piss her parents off even more.Looking up at her, I take her hands in mine and press a kiss against the back of them.

“Janessa, my Little Fighter, I love you more than I ever thought possible.You came into my life and stole my heart and soul.For months, I fought what I felt for you because everyone has let me down or left for one reason or another and I didn’t want that from you.You have shown me unconditional love, stood by my side when I needed you the most, and given me two of the best gifts anyone could ask for.Will you do me the honor of bein’ my ol’ lady and wife?”I ask her, watching as silent tears slide down her face and land on the ground between us.

“Yes, Micah.I love you so damn much and want to spend the rest of our lives raising our children and showing you the love you deserve to experience every single day,” she answers, as I pull out the ring and slide it on her finger.

“I don’t accept this.You willnotmarry this man, Janessa,” Mrs.Burns says, stomping her foot once again with no impact on the grass her heel sinks into.

“I really don’t give a fuck what you think, Mrs.Burns.You’re nothing to me and have no impact on my life,” Janessa says, never taking her attention off me as I stand and pull her into my arms, pressing my lips against hers and giving her a deep kiss as if no one’s watching us.

By the time I pull back from my girl, the cops have made an appearance and are arresting Mr.and Mrs.Burns.They’re both yelling and shouting to be released while insinuating that Janessa will pay for this.She honestly had nothing to do with it so why they’d even attempt to threaten her makes zero sense.

When the chaos finally dies down, Janessa and I are surrounded by our family.They all offer congratulations with hugs.Marie and the other ol’ ladies of the club pull Janessa away to start talking about the wedding as I take the box Tease ran up to my room to get.Yeah, I forgot that part as I walk over and slide Janessa’s new rag over her shoulders before kissing her again.I’ll never get enough of this woman in my arms whether we’re simply sitting watching a movie together, sleeping in bed, or wherever else we are.These are the best moments of my day and I’ll feel lucky for the rest of my life to experience this with her and our children.

Chapter Twenty-Six

Janessa

TODAY IS THE day Ibecome Janessa Coleson.I hate having the last name Burns because of the horrible things my parents have done.They aren’t getting out of jail anytime soon.For the first time in my life, Micah has made sure I have absolutely nothing to fear and every person who has hurt me in the past pays the price for what they’ve done to me.My parents have tried calling over the last two weeks and I’ve ignored every single one of them.I have nothing to say to either one of them and don’t want to hear the hate they spew every chance they get.This is karma coming back for every wrong thing they’ve done in their lives and I’m here to watch it all go down.Especially when Aaron has told me everyone back home my parents thought were friends have abandoned them now.They’ve got no one to rely on other than Nicole.Yes, they’ve also tried to contact my brothers who are also ignoring them.

Anyway, Micah and I don’t want some over-the-top wedding ceremony so we’ve decided to get married at the courthouse with no one but Tease and Victoria with us.Kaden will be there as well.Marie wanted to watch him, but he’s our son and I want him with us on the day we get married.The only thing we gave in to was Marie and the club throwing us a reception once the ceremony is over with.It’s nothing but a regular party if you ask me and that’s the only reason I agreed to it.Plus, Marie was kind of giving me those puppy dog eyes that get her whatever she wants when she doesn’t want to be demanding.Micah just laughed because he knew it was coming and that we wouldn’t be able to stop the queen of the club.

Victoria showed up at our house this morning with Tease.Her job was to help me get ready even though it’s a courthouse ceremony while Tease was going to take Micah and Kaden to the clubhouse to get ready for the day.I told him he was fine to wear jeans and his tee-shirt because he hates dressing up for any reason.The man is allergic to wearing a suit or button-down shirt.Most of them in the club are if you ask me.I don’t want him to feel uncomfortable for any reason so if he wants to wear his jeans, cut, and a tee-shirt, I’m happy for him to do that.
