“They won’t find out,” Cade grinds out, “because none of you fuckers are goin’ to say anything.”
“Big risk,” Spike, who is sitting on a chair at the end of the table, rocking it back and forth, throws in.“If Wesley gets to them before we get to him, he might just tell them what happened, and if he does, it’ll be a fuckin’ storm.”
“As I said,” Cade growls, “we will find him first.”
“She’s my daughter, Cade.”Jackson grunts.“If she finds out that I know about this, and didn’t tell her, I’m riskin’ my relationship with her.That took a fuckin’ long time to get back.”
“What do you want me to do, Jack?”Cade barks.“Go and tell her that I’m the reason hundreds of women were shipped overseas and sold into a sex trade, and I did nothing to stop it?Or maybe the fact I haven’t seen my sister since then, and am worried she got sold, too.How the fuck do you think that will go down?”
Addison reels back, her hand on her chest, gasping as shock washes over her face.
Shit.
Turning, I reach for her, but it’s too late.She has stumbled over a pile of old logs, and they come crashing down as she cries out in pain.Ciara rushes over, helping her up, but the shed door is already opening.Before we know it, we’re surrounded by bikers with their guns pointed at us.
“What the fuck?”Jackson growls, lowering his gun as he raises a flashlight and shines it on us.
“What the hell are you girls doin’ back here?”Spike asks, his eyes moving to Ciara.
Cade stares over at Addi, who is on her feet now.She’s standing, fists balled by her side, anger flashing over her face.His face goes slack, and I know that he just figured out she overheard him.
“Sugar,” he begins, but her head whips up before he can say another word.
Her voice is a shaky growl when she demands.“Is it true?”
“You know club business is just that.Don’t know what the fuck you were thinkin’ listenin’ in like that.”
“Is it true?”She screeches, taking a step toward him.
“Can we talk about this somewhere else?”
Cade is tense, but Addison has never been one to back down easily.She gets right up in his face and leans in, her eyes flashing as she roars.“Answer the fucking question, Cade.”
“It’s true,” he spits back at her, “but you don’t know the fuckin’ half of it.”
Her face drops and she presses a hand to her heart, truly shocked.“You were involved in selling women?Your sister got caught up in it.I...I didn’t even know you had a sister.”
“That ain’t how it went down,” Cade growls.“It was before you.I didn’t fuckin’ know we were sellin’ women...”
“You didn’t know you were selling women?”Addison laughs, but it isn’t funny.
“No,” Cade growls.“I didn’t.I thought I was helpin’ someone move a shipment, and that someone was involved with my sister.Didn’t know until it was too late.Was tryin’ to keep her safe, and shit blew up when I found out.She went with him, I wiped my hands of it, and that was that.Haven’t seen her since.”
“You haven’t seen her?You haven’t fucking seen her?”Addison whispers.“What if she got sold.Did you check?”
Cade’s face hardens.“No.”
“Who the fuck are you?”
“Back off, Addison.You know fuckin’ nothing.”
“No, it’s clear I don’t.”
“Enough, you two.”Jackson steps in.“We’ll talk about this, but not here, not now.”
“No,” Addi shakes her head.“We will not.”
Shoving past the guys, Addison disappears into the night.
