"Eleven years ago, Hairy ran my dad and me off the road. I know this because I got a good look at him when he tried shooting at us, hitting my leg in the process." The brothers all look at me in shock, but I continue, "My father WAS still alive, and he did scream for me." Some of the old timers look at me with pity, but they'll soon change their tune.

"Hairy tried to grab a hold of me, to kidnap me, but my dad stopped him, and Hairy ended up taking my father instead." The brother's eyes widened in shock. "For the past eleven years, I have been watching Hairy. Zayne and Tank taught me everything I needed to know about computers and hacking, and I became good at it, maybe even better than them, because I managed to find the footage that was lost, which showed Hairy's attack, and it showed my father very much alive when a van picked them both up. Killer, Hairy's cousin, who Zayne had killed for selling laced cocaine at Untamed Girls, was driving it."

I take a deep breath and wring my hands together. "I always knew my father was alive; it's why I never gave up. Then, over a year ago, when Hairy screwed up, he moved my withered-away-looking father from a location in DC to Illinois. He's holding himup in an abandoned house one street away from here. I've spent my time here watching his every move, trying to locate where he was keeping my father. Two weeks ago, I finally confirmed that my father was there. Hairy fluffed up, and a street camera had shown my father being dragged down into a basement where he hadn't covered the window."

Their eyes are wide with shock, and I nod, carrying on as Snake curses, "It took me a while to figure out why Hairy attacked us that day until last year when I finally uncovered his mother's diary. You see, she was insane, but it was never clinically discovered. She was obsessed with the then Pres. Snake's dad, but he was and still is to this day very much in love with his old lady. Hairy's mom wasn't happy about that, so she drugged him, knowing he wouldn't go to her willingly, slipped way too much GBH into his drink, and gently guided him into his room at their clubhouse, where she proceeded to rape the then-passed-out Pres, which was all recorded." Axel's eyes widen in shock while Snake's breathing picks up. "She obviously used way too much because he never recalled what happened, and that angered her. She wrote how hurt she felt when he couldn't even get it up but still thought she could be pregnant despite him not ejaculating, so she bought a pregnancy test."

Snake Butts in, "Hairy's father couldn't have any more kids."

I nod, "Correct, he realized she'd been cheating when he found the tests, and at the time when it all came about, my father was doing business for the club with Snakes, and she pointed my father out as the man she slept with because she thought the man she saw as her 'lover' would be killed. Hairy’s father didn't believe her."

Axel butts in this time, "Because your father was head of heels for your mother,"

I nod again, "exactly, but Hairy didn't see it that way, and when his father killed his mother a few days later after it was confirmed she was indeed not pregnant, he blamed my father; he fell for his mother's lies before her death, and he attacked. Since that day, he's been trying to create a war between the clubs to bring ours down."

I take a deep breath again before looking at Zayne, who nods in encouragement, knowing what I need to say, and I look at all the men and say, "Last year, Hairy, he-he anally raped me behind Untamed Fire in front of the camera." The men all look at me in shock, but I carry on, "He didn't seek me out because of who I was; that was just a coincidence. He did it because I was Zayne's girl," Zayne butts in, "still are." I ignore him, "he wanted revenge for his cousin Killer, who Zayne had burned alive; I was the collateral, but as soon as he realized who I was, he became obsessed with me, not realizing I knew he was watching me, making it easier for me to follow him and finally find my dad."

Tank steps forward, trying to stay in control while Theo is asleep in his arms. "Why didn't anyone come forward? I mean, when you were, I, fuck."

I give him a smile. "Razor was on door duty, and I already knew he was a traitor. He was my 'in' to find Hairy for a while." I look at Gunner and say, "If I had known what he did to Leah, I would have said something sooner." He nods his head, understanding that, because of what I had gone through, I wouldn't have wanted the same for anyone else. Zayne continues the next part, fessing up for his wrongdoings, making my heart jump in my chest. He didn't need to tell them this part: "I was with her for about half an hour. It was the day Annie lost the baby and was in the hospital. I could feel myself wanting to comfort her and give in to my feelings but didn't want to take advantage, so whenGinger sauntered over to me, I made out like I was going home to get laid when really I just went home. I went home and went to bed all while Star was being assaulted."

Everyone's eyes widen while Tank curses, "That night you two slept together on her father’s birthday; that was a goodbye for you, wasn't it, Star?"

I nod my head. "I just didn't expect that little surprise." I nod towards my boy and smile while Tank looks ready to fall apart.

Snake clears his throat. "What else do we not know, Star?" He has so many emotions in his voice, from pain to anger to rage.

I swallow hard. "Two brothers in your club named Hammer and Robber are working for Hairy; they handle the finances at your strip club; they've been taking money out each month, doctoring the books; you'll find it in the off-shore accounts that I sent you in a cryptic email before everyone arrived."

He curses up a storm before I look at the brothers here and I swallow hard. "Ginger is the traitor in our club," Zayne stumbles back while the brothers suck in a breath. "I got into her phone." I swallowed hard before looking at Slicer. "She's the one who tipped off Meghan's parents about where she was after she overheard your conversation in church." I look towards Axel, and he shakes his head, but I still say it. "She's also the one who told Annie's father where she's staying, and when she would be back at the bakery, he offered her a million for the information," he curses before I look towards Zayne, and his eyes start tearing up.

"Please, Firefly, d-don’t tell me, please." His eyes shine with pure pain, knowing what I'm about to admit to him.

My tears fall before I rasp, "She's the one who made the plans with Hairy to rape me. She went into the bar deliberately to distract you so he could grab me."

He looks at our son and knows he can't kick off, so he links his fingers behind his head, trying to breathe, and I swallow hard. "The reason why I never told you about our son was because she was the club's traitor, and I couldn't have her figure out where I was. She's obsessed with you and would have done anything to our son in order to get you. She would have told Hairy, and I would have lost my father completely. At the moment, he's enjoying torturing him because he believes my father's the reason for his mother's death, but if he finds out we all know where he is and that we know my dad is alive, then he'll kill him, and I'm sorry, Zayne, but I didn't spend all this time trying to find him only to lose him now, only for our son to lose his second grandfather." I look around the room and say, "Everything I have said I have documented as proof in the files Axel has seen."

The men all shake their heads, pain etching their features, and I take another breath. "Now, who's going to help me rescue my father?"

Chapter 19

Flame

Tears fall down my face, and I shake my head before leaving the room while Axel speaks to Snake, who wants in on capturing Hairy. I leave them to it; I need a fucking minute, and I know Theo is with my dad while Star talks to some brothers. I go into her room before sitting on her bed, trying to fucking breathe through my pain. I notice a picture of me and her on the bedside table with the shirt she took the night we made our son, and my tears fall as I let out a sob, placing my head in my hands.

I’ve caused her so much pain and missed out on watching my son grow in her stomach and come into this world. I missed the first five months of his life.

What the fuck have I done?

I don't know how long I sit here for when the door opens. I don't look up. Even as someone shuffles over to Theo's crib, another sob comes out, my mind tearing through all the hurt. I did this to her. I caused her so much pain, thinking I knew what was best. I fucked a traitor to the club over and over, shoveling it in her face. I left with the traitor who helped cause her rape.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

My body shakes as my pain releases before gentle hands glide on my shoulders, causing me to look up, dropping my hands before my eyes connect with her caramel ones as more tears fall downmy cheeks. Her eyes show pain, so much pain, and another sob comes out before she climbs on me, straddling my lap, her arms going around my shoulders to the back of my neck, gripping the base of my hair while my face goes straight into the crook of her neck before I hold her tight to me, crying my fucking eyes out for what I did to her, the guilt tearing me apart, and although I don't deserve it, she lets me have my time to mourn for everything I did to her, the pain I caused her while she comforts me, holding me tightly.

She runs her fingers through my hair as I place a gentle kiss on her neck before I rasp, "One truth, baby; I got your name tattooed above my dick after you turned eighteen."

She pulls back, her eyes widening in shock while I chuckle, gently running my fingers through her dark blonde hair, loving that it is down. "And I bought you an engagement ring just before you turned seventeen because I knew you’d always be mine, even if I thought you deserved better than me."
