“Stone, I have Caleb's order,” Kelly says with a husk, and I smirk as I step back from my ex-wife, whose breathing has picked up, her face pale, and I turn to Kelly, whom I fucked a few times, and take the order, giving her a wink before leaving the diner and a steaming Elsie behind.
“Sorry, Dad,” I mutter.
“What the fuck did you do?” my dad snaps as I walk into the clubhouse but I don’t look at him as I walk over to Honey, Calebs grandmother, who yes, Rebel’s Honeys was named after much to her dismay. I hand her the bag making her grin wide, her blue eyes shining as she says, “Thank you, sweetheart.”
I chuckle and say, “It’s no problem, got to keep the role of favorite uncle,” and she laughs as the brothers instantly begin to protest. I grin widely before kissing her cheek, and she walks down the hallway to the officer's bedrooms, where the little monster is resting up while his dad is at work.
The clubwhores and prospects are located to the right as you walk into the clubhouse, and the brothers occupy the first and second floors, each sharing a bathroom. Meanwhile, the officer brothers are fortunate enough to have their own room with an en-suite.
“Cage!” my dad snaps when I go to walk away to sit next to Doc, and I stop and turn, raising a brow. He growls, “Don’t give me that look, son. You knew I’d come find you.”
I nod as the brothers look between us, confused, and I state, “Last time I checked, I’m a grown ass fucking man, the VP of this club.”
Dad narrows his eyes as the club tenses, not used to me using my title against him. A title he once held and passed down to me on my twenty-first birthday.
I growl, “I married Elsie out of obligation. She showed me a positive pregnancy test and despite knowing there was a chance the kid may be someone else’s I knew I had to marry her because of your relationship with her dad and the clubs reputation,” I curl my lip, “I told you she faked the miscarriage, I told you she was using me for money, for what the cut represented and yet you still fucking demanded me to stay married to the bitch!”
Dad looks away, ashamed, and I look around the room, noticing Mama also looking away while my sister is nowhere to be seen, as are the clubwhores.
Good.
I state loudly, “This information does not leave this room,” and the brothers nod seriously, as well as the old ladies, and I look at my dad. I admit, “Five months ago, I met a woman,” Doc jumps in, “Actually, I technically introduced them,” causing the officer brothers to chuckle.
Fucker won’t let that one go.
I lock eyes with my dad, and I admit, “he’s the one,” and he slowly closes his eyes, Mama’s, “I told him he’d find the one, but he didn’t believe me,” just hitting my ears.
“Dad,” I say, and he looks at me, “Judge Jones granted the divorce, it was finalized within a few days, five months ago.”
His face pales while my mama gasps in shock, and I take a deep breath and hold up my left hand.
“Hang on, that is not the nasty-looking gold ring he was forced to wear,” Shadow, a brother that works in the garage says loudly.
Dad looks at me from the ring, realization hitting him, but I voice it, “I got Rose to sign a marriage certificate and her sister to sign it as a witness without her realizing as soon as the divorce was done. I married my girl, who has no idea, after a week of knowing her, and a few days ago, I branded her name over my heart.”
You don’t get your girl’s name tattooed on your body unless you see them as your forever and Rose, she is mine.
I drop my hand and state, “I’m done having you try and force me to stay in a marriage I have wanted to leave for years, twelve to be exact, and whatever reason you had, figure it out because I’m done. Honestly, Dad,” I shake my head, “I’m disappointed in you for forcing me to do this for as long as you have when you knew I wasn’t happy, that she was using me.”
He drops his head, and I turn and leave the common room, not in the mood for family day.
All I want to do is go to my wife and hold her tightly, but I can’t because I’ve got a run to do.
Entering my room to grab my bag, I quickly type out a message to my girl before sending it with a smile.
Me:
I love you, red, see you in a few days.
I grin as I grab my bag, looking forward to spending a few days inside my wife.
Chapter 10
Rose
I smile re-reading the message Cage sent this morning as I wait for Donna to get her sweet ass here so we can begin our girls’ day, and my heart races seeing the words, still not believing that man is mine.
My Cage:
