Feeling ready to give him a chance, but being confused…
Elsie’s dark brown eyes glaring into mine as she stabbed me with a knife…
Holy crap, Cage’s ex-wife stabbed me with a knife, she actually stabbed me, then left me to die in an alleyway.
Damn.
What a crazy, jealous son of a bitch.
“He cannot divorce her, I won’t allow him, they belong together!” Mama snaps, and my dad jumps in, “Karen,” but Mama snaps, “No!” and Doc quickly says, “Rose?”
I move my head slightly as I move my hand, and Mama gasps, “Oh my…”
“Rose, can you hear me?” Doc confirms, and I groan, my head thumping as I squeeze my eyes tight, all while the word divorce echoes in my head.
I slowly open my eyes and lock them with Doc’s relieved dark ones, and I choke, “Cage…”
Doc’s eyes soften while mine most likely show pain, all while the word floats around… Divorce.
Chapter 26
Stone
I smirk as I lean against the wall and watch as Elsie moves her head from side to side, her eyes blinded from the tape Tank stuck on her as punishment for trying to bite him.
It’s been just over a week since she came running into the clubhouse claiming Rose had attacked her. Just over a week since she’s been held in here, only having a slice of bread and water throughout the day, no one talking to her, making her go even crazier with fear.
Her dad has contacted mine a few times, asking if we’ve seen her because obviously he hasn’t heard from her. Dad lied every single time, claiming we’re sorting ourmarriageout, appeasing him, but what the fucker doesn’t realize is his days are numbered.
I’ve spent a week getting to know his routine, his every step, and tonight, after his business partner has finished sucking him off, then allowing him to fuck his ass, I’m going to stab him in the heart, and unlike his daughter, I won’t miss.
“Hello?” Elsie croaks full of panic, clearly knowing she isn’t alone, and my smirk grows.
A week and she’s been sitting here, wondering when her time will be up, because she knows, there is no surviving this. She knows I had claimed Rose, she found the cut, and she knows she did the greatest sin a woman could do to a brother.
Attack his old lady.
Not that I ever gave Rose her cut. I was trying to win her heart back around, trying to make her see that we could be together, that I thought what I was doing at the time was the right thing to do. Not knowing how to tell her about this bitch, and now, we’re over, done, and this woman is to blame.
She opened my eyes and showed me I never should have brought Rose into this life, she showed me that I was selfish.
And now Elsie’s biggest problem isn’t the club, it isn’t my dad or hers, it’s me.
I’m a broken man, destroyed, and she’s going to suffer. I’m going to make sure of it.
I push off the wall and slowly stalk towards Elsie, her body trembling with fear, and the strong stench of piss hits my nostrils.
Guess the prospects hadn’t hosed her off yet.
“P-Please, j-just let me go. I-I won’t tell Stone, I promise. I’ll leave town and will never come back,” she trembles as I round her chair, coming up behind her.
It’s a lie, I know it and she knows it. As soon as she realizes Rose is still alive – in a coma, but still – she’ll finish the job before making a massive scene around town so I can’t kill her, to get my leather, and status.
In high school, everyone was scared of her, but I just saw her as a pest, just like I do now, a pest that needs exterminating.
I see her body tense as she physically sucks in a breath, and without care, I grab the edge of the tape and quickly pull it off her eyes.
Elsie screams as she thrashes her head from side to side, and I grin as I take a step back, throwing the tape, that has her false eyelashes attached, onto the concrete floor.
