I nodded to assure her. “I will.”
My heart broke into a million pieces when Agnes and Myra left. I stood by the door and watched them get into the car, and once they were gone, I turned to bury my face into Jagger’s chest. I let him hold me while I cried.
“It’ll hurt for a while. But even this will pass,” Jagger whispered into my hair.
I didn’t lose them and it wasn’t goodbye forever. I knew one day I’d see them again, and until then, I had people around me who loved and cared for me. Jagger’s presence helped for now, but there were another man’s arms I wanted to hold me.
Chapter 35
FENDER
I was pleased with the way I handled this, and I could sense a wave of tranquility come over the club.
Everything seemed to be going back to normal, and while everyone was enjoying themselves, I sat alone in a dark corner of the bar, drinking Bourbon, and reflecting on what came next for me.
I had the president’s patch in my pocket but I’d soon wear it on my chest. Stepping up from VP to president in a club like this required a lot of courage and will. But I had no doubts about doing my job right.
I had done crazy shit in the past. Tortured and killed people. Showed no fucking remorse and never thought twice before pulling the trigger. That’s why people feared me. That’s why my brothers trusted me to be the leader of this club.
Being loyal to them wasn’t something I ever questioned. It came naturally to me, and once I wore that patch, nothing would ever take it from me.
But then there was one thing missing from making me the proudest motherfucker in this club though.
I took a sip as my mind drifted to the woman I obsessed over so damn much that I couldn’t stop thinking about her. Remedy was on my mind all the damn time, and though I promised to give her space, I had moments where I wanted to go to Jagger’s apartment and take her home with me.
When I first started giving her the attention she craved so much, I told myself it was nothing but a fun little game. I was going to fuck her out of my system, get those beautiful eyes to hate me. I wanted to protect her doing that but the power she held over me the moment I kissed her was too immense to fight.
Sure enough, I was down on my knees, worshipping her and that sweet fucking pussy that taunted me every time she was near me.
She consumed me even when she wasn’t next to me.
Remedy was the only person who had the power to influence me in a way not even I could, and that had scared the shit out of me when she begged me not to kill her father and uncle.
The pain in her eyes was too much for me to handle. I felt it myself, and I knew I could’ve lost her if I went against her.
Months ago, I would’ve ignored her pleas. Now, I would do anything to make her happy.
Tiny walked over to me from across the bar, and once he reached me, he sat down in the chair next to me and pulled out a cigarette.
“Got news?” I asked. I had told him to keep an eye on Agnes.
“Yeah. She’s made a decision.”
That was quick. “And?”
“Jagger told me she went by his apartment to talk to Remedy. Told them she’s leaving. Taking the baby with her.”
My body tensed at the thought of how hard it was for Remedy to hear that. She must’ve been heartbroken, and I wasn’t there to hold her. My jaw clenched and I gripped the glass tighter in my hand. The urge to run to her was big but if I wanted her to keep trusting me, I had to stay away like she had asked me to.
I gave a quick nod, taking one last sip from the Bourbon. “Good. Stay close to them until they’re gone.”
“Alright.” We sat in silence for a moment, then he spoke again. “Made up your mind yet on who’s going to be your VP?”
I didn’t have to think about it for too long. I knew it had to be someone who’s been a member for longer than I had, and someone who was able to think clearly when I couldn’t. “Rodney.”
“Good choice. Have you told him yet?”
“Not yet. Give me a bit of time.”
