Chapter Thirty-eight
Jennifer
My total from my brother’swill was way off from what Rage told me, it’s actually closer to four million. That’s enough for me to live off easily without needing to go back to Rage. I walk out of the lawyer’s office with a cheque in hand and tears in my eyes. He wrote me a letter, one the lawyer read, and in it he apologized for treating me so horribly.
Why he couldn’t have said that shit to me to my face, I’ll never know. Sure, he wasn’t the best brother in the world but he was still mine. As I go to get in my car, bikes pull up, caging me in. Shit, this is how I die.
Happy, the Jacks Devils’ president, is at the front, and he gives me a grim look. Accepting my fate, I put my head down and wait for what will be the last moments of my life, but it doesn’t come.
Instead, Happy puts a hand on my shoulder and puts me in the passenger seat of my car. “What?”
“Rage is coming for you, woman. As much as I would love to put a bullet in that head of yours, I’m not killing another man’s old lady.” A prospect member comes to the driver’s side and slides in. “We’re keeping you locked up until your man gets here. Don’t know why the hell he’d want someone like you, but I know he’d kill my entire club without blinking if you’re harmed in any way.”
I swallow thickly, I don’t want to go back to Rage, he has a family, and a new one starting, he doesn’t need me.
“Be good for Jackal.” He shuts my door and we all take off. As we get to the compound my heart is beating in my ears. I’ve never been here, although I’ve been outside of it.
“Don’t say a word when we get in there,” the prospect, Jackal tells me. “Shitload of people are in there, and they all hate you. I’m sure you remember Trinity and Killer.” He smirks. I swallow back the bile that attempts to come up. I’m not going to make it out of here unscathed, I know.
I’m pulled out of the passenger side roughly by Happy who half drags me into the building. “Keep your head down, show no fear, don’t speak, and you’ll live,” he tells me and I shudder with fear.
“Well, looky here, my toy is back!” I hear Trinity shout out.
“No touching, she’s being held here until her pick up,” Happy tells her, and I can sense her pouting. I don’t look up, keeping my head down like Happy told me.
“Fucking bitch,” I hear Hush mutter as he passes by us. My heart squeezes, I did that. Because of my brother, he hates me. I might not love him, but I did care for him, so him saying that kills. I wish things could have been different.
“Rat!” is called out a few times, too, as we walk to the back offices. Or what I’m assuming are offices and I’m practically tossed inside.
“This is your room for while you’re here. I’ll personally bring you food; don’t trust none of those fuckers not the poison it. You don’t leave, everything you could need is in this room, including the bathroom,” Happy says, pointing toward the bathroom.
“Thank you,” I say quietly.
“I looked into you after a phone call I got from Rage. You had a shit life, I’m sorry for that. I don’t think you would have ratted on us in the end. But being associated with a cop, well that did you no favours. You could have told us all the truth the day you arrived at our diner looking for work.”
I nod, knowing there’s nothing I can really say at this point.
“Get cleaned up, I’ll have a prospect bring in your shit from the car, hide that cheque.” He points to my hand. “Anyone catches you with that sort of cash, they might rethink handing you back over to the Untamed MC.” With that, he leaves, slamming the door shut behind him, and locking it.
Well, here I am. The place my brother always wanted me to get into. Except it’s nothing like I thought it would be. I’m basically a prisoner here now. But at least I’m not being tortured by Trinity this time.
I lay on the bed, the cheque clutched in my hands. Looks like I’m going to have to face Rage at some point, something I’m not looking forward to. But it is what it is.
I let the tears fall that I’ve been holding onto since I found out that Jordan was pregnant, and I don’t stop them, not even when the prospect enters with my things. My sobbing gets so out of control Happy comes back in and gives me a grim look.
“I know shit’s hard for you right now, but you need to calm down, you’re disturbing the members that just want to rest. And if you don’t shut up, Trinity has said she’d come in here to shut you up.” With those parting words, I instantly shut myself down, not wanting to face that woman again.
Rage and I could have had a beautiful life—me, him, and his kids. But now, I don’t know what’s going to happen.
