I raised a brow. “Remedy is not your business. Never had been. She deserved better than to have a dad and an uncle who betrayed people they should’ve been loyal to. She has a big fucking heart, man. She’s the reason why you’re still alive. Even after all the hurt you caused her, she’s begged me to let you live. And, God, if I wasn’t so fucking in love with her, I wouldn’t have listened to her. But she’s got me wrapped around her little finger. First time in my life I’m experiencing this shit, and, man…she’s the best fucking thing that ever happened to me.”
I was pouring my damn heart out to the wrong person. But, damn if it didn’t feel good to finally say it. I had fallen for the purest fucking soul to ever exist, and I was going to ruin her for life.
But with the best fucking intent.
I grabbed his cut and got up from the couch. “You got ‘til Thursday to pack all your shit and leave. Leave all of Remedy’s stuff and put the key on the kitchen counter before you leave. Don’t come near the club. Don’t come near my brothers and stay the fuck away from Remedy. If you’re not gone by then, I will change my mind about killing you.”
I left without saying another word or looking back. He was on his own now, and I hoped to God that he’d make the right decisions.
I looked at Tiny and gave him a quick nod. “It’s done. He should be gone by Thursday. I’ll have the prospects watch him until then. For now, we keep our distance and wait.”
Tiny didn’t ask questions. We got to our bikes and I told him I’d meet him at the club later. I had to go see my woman first.
Chapter 33
REMEDY
I sat and listened to everything Fender said but had no reaction to his words. He let them live and gave Agnes the freedom to pick a side which was generous coming from a man like Fender.
I asked him if I was allowed to say goodbye to her in case she decided to leave, and he told me he’d give us the time we needed before she’d have to turn her back on the club and never look back.
If Agnes would choose to leave, I wasn’t sure I could handle it. I’d miss Myra, and I’d be worried for them. I didn’t want them to leave but I had no way to influence her decision.
I looked at my hands in Fender’s lap, fighting all the thoughts inside of my mind. Some thoughts made sense, some others didn’t. One part of me easily accepted the way Fender handled this because he kept me in mind while making a decision and made sure not to hurt anyone. The other part of me was conflicted. Deep down, I wanted to see my father and talk to him, and I couldn’t understand why I felt the need to see the man who betrayed not only the club but also his daughter.
Talking to him would give me the chance to understand better but I knew Fender would never let me see him. The same applied to Woodrow. Now that he got kicked out of the club and Fender sent him packing, I wasn’t allowed to see him. Couldn’t even say goodbye.
“Baby, look at me.”
I kept my head low but gazed up at him through my lashes. I could see that he was fighting with his himself as well, and his soft expression told me that he sympathized with me.
“I know it’s not easy for you, and I promise you I would’ve avoided all this if I could have done something about it. But it was out of my hands. No one knew about the shit Woodrow pulled, and once it was out, I had to do what’s best for the club. I hate seeing you like this. I’m here for you, Remi. I’ll do whatever it takes to help you through it. Give you as much time as you need.”
I dropped my gaze again and swallowed even if my mouth was dry. “If Agnes chooses to stay, will you treat her differently?”
“No. If Agnes chooses to stay, she’s still welcome at the club. She’ll still be part of the club.”
Okay. That was good.
I nodded and pursed my lips as I thought about my next words. He had come by Jagger’s apartment right after being done with Woodrow, and I knew he came to be close to me. I felt his urge to be with me, and I hated myself for wanting to push him away. Not for long. Only until my mind wasn’t so clouded anymore.
“You know, I really like this side of you,” I whispered, seeing his eyes flash with satisfaction.
“Good. It’s a side of me you brought out. Never been this damn calm about a situation like this.”
I smiled and gently squeezed his fingers. “And I love that you kept your promise. Shows me that you really meant it. That you really care about me and how I feel.”
“Fuck yeah, I do.” He lifted my hand to his lips and kissed my fingers.
“But…”
He scowled and his face fell. He looked defeated for a moment but he held his head high, trying his best not to let his momentary insecurities show.
“I need a bit of alone-time.”
He studied me, not liking that one bit. “How long?”
I shrugged. “I can’t really say.”
