The woman shed happy tears. “Of course. That should be every mother’s right.”
Anita kissed a forehead. “Larissa.” She kissed the other’s forehead. “Lyra.”
I exhaled relief. I’d never seen anything more precious.
That serene feeling was ours for one more day. Then it all fell apart.
Elijah rushed into the bedroom where Anita was rocking her daughters. “That fucking devil! He fucked us over!”
Oh, Lu.
NINE
WARS, SURRENDERS, AND LOVE
Onus
Some men can look back on their life and find ways to grow in the future. Unfortunately, every time I reflected on my past, I only seemed to be capable of making my life murkier.
Anger is a beast that eats you from the inside out until you, yourself, form into a beast. Instead of rising from ashes as a blazing phoenix, I rose as the worst human being possible.
I should’ve found forgiveness. Seen the why of other’s actions. I should’ve seen Rosa’s purity and blessed heart.
But I chose not to.
I only saw all she had done wrong … to me.
When Mom had called, laughing that the ‘whores’ had escaped, my blood heated to such a degree I blacked out. Pierce and I, along with other brothers, were on a gun run. I had started selling them to appease Rosa and leave children alone, only for her to betray me, yet-a-fucking-gain.
Strangely, I didn’t remember how I knew where to find her, nor did I have a recollection of the ride to Baltimore, I only remember sticking her on the back of my bike then driving through the night so I could ring her neck once we were back home.
Piercer reacted far differently. He told himself Anita had been tricked by Rosa and never intended to leave him in the first place. He didn’t care that her babies were gone. Felt they would only be in his way of having Anita to himself. Apparently, during the time he had spent alone with her, up to this point, he’d somehow become infatuated with the young teenager. Even nicknaming her Pearl, as if she were some treasure he found in an ocean. Not to say he didn’t fuck other women and even knocked one up. But after bringing ‘Pearl’ back home, he wanted her to become his Old Lady, which threw Mom into a rant-and-a-half about how Anita would only ever be a club whore, and that she wouldn’t permit her son to stoop so low.
Not that I stuck around for most of it. No. I had a delicious revenge to perform.
In my bedroom, Rosa and I viciously went to war against each other. My Little Hellion gave as good as she got. By the end, the room was destroyed, and we had fucked so hard, I’m not sure how either of us were able to move the next day.
Our twisted ways were violent and the release two deities needed in order to survive the raw pain we caused each other on Earth.
Regrettably, afterwards, I had to attend to the club business her escape had pulled me from.
On the road, each time me and my men pulled over to fill our tanks, I sat on my bike and checked my cellphone, watching her on our security cameras.
Feed live, I stared at my phone and snarled, “You. Are. Kidding. Me.”
She was in the bathroom, soaking in the tub. My body trembled, seeing soot-boy sitting on the floor next to her, dabbing her black eye with a damp rag.
I touched my split lip. Fucking emotional prick.
He told her, “To the sane, this is considered abusive. You guys are going to kill each other.”
She chuckled. “Lu corrupted me and prepared me for such a man.”
I smirked. That’s right, babe. Wait, who the fuck is Lu?
Rosa’s playful expression faded as she got lost in thought. “Wow. I guess that was part of his plan.”
Angel-fuck-boy said, “Wouldn’t put it past him. Speaking of the deranged, blue-eyed freak, why did he tell Onus?”
