I take a deep breath. "Razor was on door duty that night, and Star had already figured out he was a traitor, but she needed him to keep tabs on Hairy, which is why no one knew what had happened at the time." I look at Leah, who has tears running down her face. "If she had known what Razor was capable of, she would have told someone so you wouldn't have had to see his face day in and day out," she nods, wiping her tears as Gunner takes her in his arms, and I continue, taking a deep breath, "that night I was with her for about half an hour. It was the day Annie was in the hospital." I run my hand through my hair. "I could feel myself wanting to comfort her and give in to my feelings but didn't want to take advantage of her vulnerable state, so when Ginger 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."

Bones growls, but I put my hand up.

"Two weeks after that, after she was assaulted, after I spent years pushing her away, throwing other women in her face, including her own sister, who treated her like shit for years, blaming her daily for her father's 'death,' thinking she deserved better than this life, better than me,"

Bones butts in, "She was born in this life, you jackass; she was born to love you; we all fucking knew it, and so did her fucking sister, who's always been jealous of her."

I nod my head as Emma and Shayla gasp. "I know, and two weeks after that, we finally came home together because that's what it was—coming home. I finally thought, 'This is it; we're going to have our happy ever after; I'm no longer going to hold back; I'm going to fucking get my girl,'" the women openly sob as my eyes burned with unshed tears, "until the next morning when I was woken up by Axel banging on my door, telling me my girl had left me, that she was raped."

Bones winces. "She was saying goodbye?"

I nodded. "She was saying goodbye. "Sighing, I continue, "She had found out two brothers in Snakes Club called Hammer and Robber was working for Hairy; they handled the finances at his strip club and had been taking money out each month, doctoring the books; she actually sent him the information he needed for the offshore accounts so he could get the money back. That's how good she is. She had then told us Ginger, the woman I threw in her face day in and day fucking out is the traitor in our club," the men all cursed.

"Star got into her phone; she had found out that Ginger was the one who tipped off Meghan's parents about where she was after she overheard our conversations in church," Meghan growls. "She's also the one who told Annie's father where she was staying and when she would be back at the bakery." I hear Annie curse under her breath as the brothers tense with each word coming out of my mouth, and my tears fall, showing my brothers my pain. "She's also the one who made the plans with Hairy to rape Star.

She went into the bar deliberately to distract me so he could grab her." The men start cursing up a storm while Shayla openly cries out. Emma frowns, not believing a word I'm saying, but I continue ignoring her. "Star said she's obsessed with me and would have done anything in order to get me. Shewould have told Hairy that if Star had informed us of what was going on, she would have lost her father completely, and Hairy would have killed him and disappeared."

The women openly sob when Emma steps forward. "And how do we know she's telling the truth?"

She has an evil gleam in her eyes, and the men growl while I put my hand up as Axel steps forward. "Probably because I saw all the proof Star had left in Bones' room here at the clubhouse, it's why she never let anyone in there. Emma, the whole room is a shrine of evidence in order to find her father. She made it her life's mission. And myself, my father, and Flame have also seen the footage of her rape." Emma's eyes widen and now start to tear up, but too little, too fucking late.

Bones lets out a sob before looking at me. He points, "Go fucking win my daughter round."

I nod, rasping, "I plan to," before turning around and patting Slicer's shoulder, who nods, and we head out. He'll drive me to my girl, whom I'll hopefully win around because I need her so fucking much.

I climb into the passenger seat, hoping she won't be pissed. I told everyone her story, despite it being mine too. I kept my mouth shut about our son. I'll let her decide if she wants everyone to know about him, but everything else needed to be said.

I look out the window as Slicer puts his Jeep into drive, his daughter and old lady climbing in the back for support, and I smile.

I'm coming, Star. I'm coming.

Chapter 22

Star

"One truth, baby: the love heart you drew on your workbook when you were eighteen, I had Ink tattoo it on my ring finger, not sure how you haven't noticed it yet.

I miss you, Firefly, and I miss our son. Please call me back, please.

I love you."

I shake my head at the message. Staying away from him is becoming harder and harder as time goes on. He's not playing fair, but I guess MC men don't. Sighing, I get up and pick my boy up, flying him in the air and making him giggle before he screeches, "DADADA," and I chuckle out, "Traitor," before tickling him a little and making him giggle some more before I put him back down again just as someone knocks on my door, and I sigh knowing Zayne is on the other side. I can feel him like always, and I swear to God that if he hasn't got a sling on, I'll kill him. Doc's kept me up to date with both him and my father, who hasn't been resting, so he'll get an earful too when I see him.

I walk over to the door before opening it only to be pushed aside by Meghan and her little girl Lilah, "out of the way, favorite auntie coming through." I laugh as Lilah shouts, "I'm going to be his favorite cousin," while Slicer shakes his head at them before he grabs me into his arms,hugging me tightly. "You have some explaining to do, Missy." I pull back and raise a brow at him. "When I explained my sister from another mister Star had a baby with my brother from another mother," I chuckled, "she started cursing up a storm because you never rang her to tell her, which then obviously made me confused until I realized..."

I give him a little smile and say, "She was the one who helped me that night alongside Mel."

He nods before hugging me again as my boy giggles in the background, making me smile as Slicer pulls away before rubbing his hands together. "Right, time for me to become his favorite uncle." I laugh as he rushes in, taking my son from Meghan, making her pout, and chasing him around the living room with Lilah behind her, trying to get him back, all while my boy giggles loudly.

I stand near the door smiling when an arm wraps around my waist and Zayne's mouth comes to my ear before he rasps, "One truth, baby; the necklace you always wear wasn't from your mother, it was from me. I just didn't want you to be upset thinking she forgot your 16th birthday, even though she did. She didn't deserve you as a daughter then, and she doesn't now."

I nod as tears form in my eyes. "That's two truths today."

He chuckles before placing his face into the crook of my neck, kissing it lightly before he murmurs, "I know." I hum, leaning back a little, ensuring not to hurt him. My heart pounds, remembering all the blood, and my tears fall, hitting his bare arm and making him squeeze me tighter.

"I could have lost you," I rasp.

He shakes his head. "I'd never leave you; you are my Firefly, my shooting Star. Always have been, always will be."
