For Lilah.
Noah gently kisses my lips before rubbing his nose against mine.
Mel squeezes his hand. "I'll go make her a sandwich, then I'll sit with her and go find my niece."
Noah nods before kissing her head, then he gives me one last look before all the brothers try to fit in the tiny room.
I take a deep breath as Mel disappears into the kitchen, then I look around. The sweet butts are talking to each other without paying any attention to me, so as quietly as I can, I get up and go out the backdoor before legging it towards Noah's house. I let myself in and went to his office to pull the Pride and Prejudice book out slightly before the bookcase moved.
I shake my head.
Did the man seriously think I wouldn’t notice the oddball book?
When the doors open, knives, rifles, and shotguns hung up on the wall come into my vision and I quickly grab the revolver and the silencer sitting next to it, twisting it on the gun.
Who knew movies would come in handy?
I quickly put the gun in the back of my scrub pants, then pushed the book back, causing the bookcase to move. I only knew about this because I accidentally or well purposely snooped like girlfriends do when he left me here with Lilah the other morning.
I rush back out of his house, towards my car.
I see Cal on gate duty still, and I know he won't open it, so I take a deep breath after getting into my car.
I turn to look at the gate behind me.
"Fuck it," I mumble, and I start my car.
I know Noah has bought me a new one, which I wasn't going to accept, but I guess I'm going to have to now. I put my car in reverse before revving the engine, then I wheel spun backward towards the gate. Cal's eyes widened as I smashed through them, metal crunching echoes through the car, but I ignored it, spinning around, the wheels spinning forward away from the clubhouse.
I don't stop; I drive the full four hours to Wincher, where I didn't think I'd come back to again thinking of my plan.
Maybe I should pop into George's diner on the way home and see how the old man is doing before slapping Cindy—god knows she earned one after the shit she caused out of fucking jealousy.
I shake my head. I need to get through this first.
I turn left down a familiar road before going to the house right near the end.
My mother hated that the Alberto's put them at the end of the row; it's why they've been trying to basically sell me and now my daughter.
Greed for a bigger house and better cars.
Bastards, the lot of them.
I pull up outside my parents' house right next to the Alberto's cars, and I grin perfectly.
I turn and grab the gun from the passenger seat when I hear a wail.
Lilah!
Chapter 23
Meghan
I quickly grab a hold of the gun and rush up the pathway toward my parent's house while my daughter cries her heart out, which sounds like my old room. I don't bother knocking; I walk straight in to see my parents bent over their dull cream dining table with the Alberto's looking at some paperwork that is spread all over it, and I know instantly what it's for.
"If need be, we'll just forge her signature, and then she'll be legally ours; Meghan won't be able to do anything."
I tilt my head as Abram smirks, "Good, we don't want anything getting in the way."
