“How do they know?”
“Ralph called them, and Sky they have cameras.”
Ralph called them? He planned to screw me over all along. “There are no cameras in Kingpin’s office.” I knew that for a fact. No cameras in the throne room either. I’d used it for passage.
“No, but there are in the club. They point to the door to the office. They’ve seen you going in and out with armfuls of shit. I didn’t believe it myself until Opry showed me.”
Fucking hell. In my haste I hadn’t thought it all through. I just wanted to save my baby. “Leo. I was blackmailed.”
“Well, that’s not all. Pagan said Ralph says your baby is his. Is that true, too?”
What was worse than hell? This was it. Kingpin would know. “The mob says so. But I’m not sure. I didn’t see the test myself.”
“What the hell, Sky?”
“What’s going to happen?” On edge, I was afraid the bikers would come and drag me to the barn.
“They’ve let Kingpin know. They’ll let him deal with you.”
“Thanks for the warning.”
When Kingpin came home, I braced myself for a fight. Listening to him climb the stairs, I laid Bo in the crib. I sat in the rocking chair beside it, waiting. I planned to tell him the whole truth and go from there. The club didn’t know it, but I’d been smart. I’d only given away one book of basically crap. I had the rest safely hidden here and in Kingpin’s office. And I had no idea if Brenda had been telling the truth. I didn’t see the test. I never should’ve trusted the mob in the first place.
Anyway, Kingpin had sworn it didn’t matter. He loved me. Armed with this knowledge, I felt everything would turn out for the best.
Too bad, it wasn’t Kingpin who entered the room.
Holy shit.
“What are you doing here? You’re not supposed to be here."
“Kingpin thinks he can take what’s mine. I’ll show him.”
He reached in the crib and picked up the baby.
My baby was being kidnapped.
I screamed, “Don’t touch my baby. Put him down.”
The man slapped my mouth, shutting me up. “Don’t worry. You’re coming too. If you leave quietly, I won’t hurt you.”
That’s when I saw his bloody face. My eyes rolled back. I felt myself falling before all went black.
Chapter 29
Kingpin
As Eve sang the song I requested, I watched her lips tremble. She was taking in my meaning. Therefore, when she stood in front of Hallow, and I realized the bastard was about to propose, I knew I had to stop him and tell everyone the truth. I couldn’t let her go through with living a lie. I was so tired of living one myself.
At first, I felt it was what was best for Sky with what happened to her. But soon, it became clear as much as I wanted to love Sky completely again, my heart had moved on. At first it was split. But I realized I wasn’t what Sky needed or wanted. My guilt was the only thing keeping me with her.
Not only that, my whole being, every part of me, belonged to another.
After everything she said to me the other week, I didn’t know if Eve would have me. I’d confess all the same. I never expected the words to come from Hallow’s lips. Eve hadn’t written them. I suspected Sky. My ol’ lady had come to hate me. She had every right to. And just as Eve fought her own morals, deciding to lie to Hallow all so Sky wouldn’t hurt, I knew Sky would want to inflict great pain onto Eve if she found out. The video that played next wasn’t a surprise. Nor was the fallout as the fighting commenced.
What was surprising was that Hallow thought he could take me down by invoking our chapter’s rules. The boy didn’t realize who he was dealing with or how loyal my bikers were. Pagan gave me a look. We’d play along, see what Hallow claimed. What he wanted. Put on a show. I was never worried.
And I wanted to bust his face in when he started attacking Eve. I got in one more blow before Villain held me back. But then, my brothers thirsted for a fight like I did. Hallow and I rounded each other, ready to come to blows again.
