I step in. “We’ll work that out, when Melissa wants to talk with you, I’ll keep an eye on Mikayla.”
Dray’s head shoots back, and he looks shocked I would offer that up. He stares at me for a minute and then nods.
“I’ll text.” With that he walks off.
“That was different,” Melissa says.
I agree, but I also feel as if he’s got something up his sleeve. I don’t have a good feeling.
If he is coming for what I see as mine, I’ll be ready. I’m not taking any chances when it comes to my woman or her child.
Chapter 25
Melissa
The last few weeks have been somewhat peaceful. Dray and I still haven’t talked, but I know it’s coming, and it’s coming soon. Caden has even told me I need to chat with him, to co-parent for Mikayla’s sake, and I agree on that. But I’m also scared that talking with Dray will have me back with him again, and I don’t want to hurt Caden if it comes to that, because I also don’t want to give him up.
Dray has Mikayla this weekend and Caden had to do something for the club. So I’m relaxing for once, doing nothing, maybe some reading after I finish putting these dishes away.
A knock on the door has me quickly setting the plate I was drying down and answering the door. I stare in shock. How?
“Stop staring at me, and let me in.”
I glance at the time and see that Dad is supposed to be home soon. I pray he’s early.
“What are you doing here, mom?”
She pushes past me and goes up the stairs to the living room, pacing. “I got out of jail a month ago and found out Hangman wants me dead or alive.” Hearing that doesn’t shock me, not anymore. Things I’ve learned about my dad’s club life doesn’t even faze me now. “It’s been known around that he listens to you, since he didn’t hurt your baby daddy. So you need to tell him to back off me. Please.”
She grabs my arms so tight, I know I’ll have bruising from this. “Why would I save you from him?” She honestly must be nuts to think I’d call off dad from hunting her down.
Her eyes narrow at me. “I gave birth to you, you shit!” she yells. She shoves me, and I fall to the floor. “I could have aborted you the second I knew I was pregnant. But no, I kept you. You should be thanking me. But no, you’re just as worthless and useless as I thought you were.” She sneers.
I get up from the floor, but before I fully stand up, she backhands me across the face.
“You and your sister have been nothing but thorns in my side for years. Fucking ungrateful brats.” She grabs my hair, making me stand up. “You’re gonna call him off me, or I’ll make sure your bastard child never sees you again.” She starts cackling. “What’s funny is that I was always right. Cori became a gold digger, I don’t know what that husband of hers was thinking, tying himself to her forever. And you are worthless. Couldn’t even keep your man.” She tugs harder on my hair.
Fear grips at me and before she lets go of my hair, the front door crashes open. Mom lets me go instantly and she looks scared. I look up and see my dad, Rage, Dirty, and Caden standing at the opening of the living room, guns drawn.
“You okay, kid?” Dad asks.
“Yeah,” I croak out.
“Carson…” Mom starts to say.
“Shut the fuck up, you cunt,” he growls. “Where’s Mikayla?” he asks me.
“She’s at her dad’s.”
He nods. And walks over to mom and grabs her forcefully. “Melissa, please, call him off! Don’t let him kill your mama,” she begs.
She doesn’t stop screaming so dad shuts her up by punching her in the mouth. Holy shit. My eyes go wide. “You shut the fuck up right now, Luanne. Trust me, you’ll need to save the screaming for later.” I start shaking, suddenly terrified. Mom shuts up instantly, tears streaming down her face. “Rage, shoot her up. Otherwise you know she’ll start screaming like a banshee when we walk out of this house. Slammer, get the cage going.”
Caden quickly kisses me. “I’ll be back soon”, he tells me and heads out the door.
Rage comes forward with a needle filled with something, and a minute after he injects her with it, you can tell she’s as high as a kite.
“Get on your phone, kid. Call your sister. Tell her she’ll never have to worry about this bitch again.” He hands mom off to Dirty and they leave. Dad comes to me and kisses my forehead. “She’ll pay,” he vows and walks off.
