She's the problem, not me.

With that thought, I stormed into the hospital. How dare she?

How fucking dare she!

I get to her floor and see a deputy standing outside it, and I walk over to him. He looks at me with wide eyes. "I'd like a moment with my mother, please; you're welcome to join." He clears his throat before nodding, and we both enter.

My mother looks at me with a furrowed brow before snorting, "Here to ruin my life some more."

I just tilt my head at her; she's a mess. She's lost even more weight, which I didn't think was possible, and her arms are full of track marks.

"I ruined your life."

She sneers at me and says, "I lost my husband because of you."

I nod. "Oh, and here I thought it was because you were a whore who couldn't keep her legs closed." The deputy coughs while my mother's eyes widen. I continue feeling pissed. "I mean, you did fuck a biker and get pregnant with his child." She stiffens, "And the only reason your husband had found outabout your cheating ways was because the biker's wife wanted me and offered him money."

Tears fall from her eyes as she rasps, "I only slept with him once. Your father and I argued, and I was drunk; it was a mistake."

I nod. "And yet you punished me for your misgivings. You beat me, broke my bones, let old men leer at me, then tried to sell me for your habit. You blamed me when, all along, YOU were the problem. You were the reason he left, not me, and yet you had me beaten up."

She lets out a sob. "He was all-all I h-had."

I snorted at her, "Wrong MOTHER. You had me, a four-year-old who only wanted a mommy's cuddle to make things better, and what did that four-year-old get? a fucking slap and starved." She sobs some more before I sneer, "I hope you rot in prison. Don't try to contact me because you're dead to me." Then I turned and thanked the deputy before walking out while hearing my mother's sobs. As I get to the ground floor, my body vibrates angrily as I bump into Cassidy. She glares at me, going back to being a bitch.

"Well, look who it is—the boyfriend stealing bitch."

I keep walking, making sure to ram into her shoulder as I state, "Oh, look who it is—the whore who likes to fuck family members in storage closets instead of giving them the news of their loved ones before sucking off the chairman."

She gasps while a few nurses and doctors look at her with wide eyes, while the head nurse crosses her arms over her chest, looking at Cassidy. I don't stop, though; I keep walking.

They have no proof, only my word, so she'll most likely just get a written warning, much less than she deserves.

Forty minutes later, I end up walking back to my flat and packing a bag before I book a ticket to Mexico with my emergency fund that's supposed to be used on a house. It's only an hour and a half flight, and I can find a motel when I'm there.

It's time to put my past to bed so I can finally move on with the man I've fallen head over heels in love with.

Chapter 13

Dagger – 2 weeks later

I sigh and drop my phone onto my desk before leaning back in my chair. I'm in my office at the clubhouse, and I'm fucking frustrated.

Two weeks.

That's how long it's been since I've heard from Melanie. After I told her about Butch and Hazel and she walked out looking calm as fucking anything, she told me she needed some time and would call me when she was ready.

But she hasn't fucking called.

I slam my laptop shut before grabbing my phone again, and I dial her number. It rings several times before I give up, throwing my phone back onto my desk.

Why the fuck won't she answer?

I know I dropped a bomb on her, but I knew I had to tell her; if I hadn't told her straight away, it would have bitten me in the ass.

When my office door opens, I run a frustrated hand through my hair, wondering if I made the right decision, and a pissed-off Ink walks in. I raise a brow at him and ask, "What? Sophie, turn you down again."

He just narrows his eyes at me before sitting opposite me on the other side of my desk. "Look, I know this is going to piss you off, and I know you don't want to talk about it, but it has to stop, brother."
