Laughing, I hand him the paperwork, and he quickly stamps it to authorize it and says, “I’ll get my –” he cuts his own words off and looks at me with a raised brow and asks, “It was witnessed?”
I nod with a grin and admit, “Her little sister was there, Kimberly, and I asked her to sign as well, which made her squeal even though she had no idea what she was signing.”
“Fucking smart move, Stone,” he replies, nodding his head in approval, then says, “I’ll let Doc know when your certificate is in, but it should be a week from today.”
I nod, shake his hand, and say, “Thank you for doing this.”
He grins, his gray eyes sparkling as he states, “It was my fucking pleasure,” and I chuckle.
Did I mention he hates Elsie?
“Where in the hell have you been?!” is sneered as I walk into the clubhouse half an hour later, and I roll my eyes, my good mood completely gone.
Fucking Selena.
I raise a brow at my little sister, who is beginning to look more and more like a clubwhore than a club brat. Fuck, she even quit college, stating that Dad can fund her until she’s ready for life, pissing him off.
All evening and fucking night she’s been blowing up my phone, and I’m not stupid, I know it’s Elsie pushing it, and I’m ready to block both of them.
“I didn’t realize you were my keeper, Selena,” I growl lowly, and she flinches as everyone who’s still around before work shakes their heads at her blatant disrespect. Not just to her blood brother but the VP of this club.
“Elsie was worried, you haven’t called her,” she says quietly, some brothers snorting, making her scowl, and I tilt my head and ask, “Why would I call her, Selena?”
My little sister frowns, “Because it’s the anniversary of the day she lost your child.”
Fuck me.
The brothers all wince, amusement no longer in the air. Tension rises and I shake my head as I walk towards the hallway where the officer brothers' offices are knowing Doc won’t be asleep yet.
My sister shouts, “Cage!” instantly pissing me off and I turn to her sharply, but before I can snap at her for her total disrespect, Doc declares, “Selena, you are banned from the clubhouse for two weeks for the disrespect of a brother, the VP.”
Think of the pres and he shall show.
Selena gasps, “But he-he wasn’t listening to me. Elsie is hurting.”
I snort while Doc tells her straight, “Elsie is lying to you. She was never pregnant,” he looks at the brothers still hanging around who had no idea, “She lied, falsified a pregnancy test knowing Stone would marry her out of obligation and because of their father’s friendship, he’s still married to her,” he looks back at my shocked sister and demands, “Get out of the clubhouse, you step foot back inside within the next two weeks, I’ll force your dad’s hand and ensure you don’t step foot on club property again. You have made your brother's life hell all on the word of a patch chaser, which is what Elsie is!”
Selena’s tears fall, and I lock eyes with my mama, who quickly looks down but I don’t miss the guilt which confuses me.
What the fuck is her problem and is she feeling guilty?
Shaking my head, I walk over to Doc and slap the tired man’s back as I say quietly, “Did I ever thank you for setting me up with my wife?”
He looks at me sharply, and I smirk before a big ass grin appears on his face, but he soon laughs when I admit, “I even got her sister to be a witness, which was just pure fucking luck.”
“Fucking good,” he says as we walk inside his office.
I take a seat on the black couch on the side, leaning my head back with a sigh as he shuts the door.
“Did you notice Mama go weird when you mentioned my marriage to Elsie?” I ask as I look at Doc, who hums as he sits behind his desk.
“You think she had the affair?” he asks, and I shrug with a sigh and mutter, “Who fucking knows?”
“So what happens now?” he asks with a brow raise.
I think for a moment before I admit, “Make my wife fall madly in love with me before I tell her everything and then blow Elsie’s world apart and most likely get disowned by my dad.”
Doc shakes his head with a sigh as he leans forward and states, “Your dad is being an idiot. You’ve put his feelings and whatever the fuck it is between him and James first for eleven years. Live for you, brother, before you lose your wife. Life is short.”
