“Hobs, this man is crazy. He has me tied up!” Kalilah’s husband yells.

I raise a finger to shut him up. “Hobs. Is that your name?” I say. “I believe it’s really Harry, but if Hobs is what you prefer, then who am I to argue.” I chuckle. The dumb shit across from me, Tony, looks at me surprised. Tony Carmel. That stupid name should have been Kalilah’s first red flag.

“Who the fuck is this?” Hobs barks into the phone.

“I have your man, who thinks—” The idiot hangs up, cutting me off.

Now that wasn’t nice.

He doesn’t play fair.

I get up and go to leave.

“He will find you,” Tony calls out to my back.

“I’m looking forward to it!”

Twenty-Two

Kalilah

Alaska is fun, and after we go house hunting, she takes me for drinks with her friend Louise, who kindly informs me she once flashed Kyson her hooha. I laugh at the story. I can see why they’re friends—they balance each other out nicely.

When it’s time for me to go, Alaska offers to take me home, but I call an Uber instead.

She waves as the driver takes off, and not long into the drive, my phone starts dinging.

I look down to see it says my Uber has arrived.

What?

That has to be a mistake.

A delayed message?

Right?

Maybe I had too many drinks because I’m clearly in an Uber right now.

Lying my head back against the seat, my phone continues to ding.

I send a message through the Uber app telling them I’m in the car.

The driver replies back immediately, saying he’s waiting for me.

What?

“Sir? Um… I’m sorry to bother you,” I say to the man driving the car.

“Yes, Kalilah?” I freeze at his use of my name. The app doesn’t have my first full name, just Kal.

As I reach for the door handle, the car pulls over and stops. I jump out as fast as I can, gripping my phone for dear life, before I start running. But my legs are slow, and my breath is gone. Fucking alcohol. Arms wrap around me from behind and lift me up. I kick for all I am worth, but it’s no use.

“I’d stop that if I were you,” a voice calls out. “Seems you have caused a lot more trouble than you are worth.”

Confused, I whip my head toward the voice, sobering up as I do.

Shit! Hobs. It’s the president of the MC that Tony is a member of. “You ran far, but did you think he wouldn’t find you?” He steps closer and grabs my chin. “You are his favorite toy. So obedient. Until you ran.” He shakes his head, his hold on my chin becoming tighter. His fingers almost bruising as he grips me. “Now, tell me where he is.”
