Chapter 3
Axel
I was just finishing up in the bar. I had kicked the last few lads out of the bar at closing time. I was cleaning the counter and wiping the tables. We did have cleaners that did the cleaning, but I found it therapeutic. I was wiping the bar down when I heard a loud noise outside. I could hear men arguing. That’s all I need. I opened the doors and saw two men fighting. I ran over to them and grabbed both of them by their collars and dragged them apart. “What the fuck is going on? Get out of here before I call the cops.” I was a big fuck. I’m tall, well over 6 feet. I was built, I spent an hour in the gym every day, like I said, I’m a big fuck. I was intimidating. And a member of the Titan Kings MC Club. Both men turned and walked away in opposite directions. “Fucking drunks. Need to fuck off away from my bar.” I mumbled to myself as I headed back inside. I headed to the bar and p
Chapter 4BellaI’d been raped. He hit me, forced me down and raped me. I can’t believe this happened. I can’t breathe. I feel like the whole world is spinning around so fast and I can’t move. I feel sick. My life is over, nobody will want me now. He took it, he took my virginity. Why is everything spinning? I could hear someone calling my name, it sounded faded, like a ghost. How can a ghost be calling my name? Am I dead? “Bella!” I heard them call again. Who is calling me? Why does it sound so far away? I can hear engines, lots of them. Not car engines, motorbike engines. I don’t know anyone with a bike. Do I? I’m confused. Lots of lights flashing around me now. It’s dark outside and now I can hear more people talking. I don’t recognize their voices though. My eyes are closed, I can’t open them to see who is talking. “Bella!!!” Mom? That’s my mom! Mom
Chapter 5BellaI sat in the cubicle waiting for the tests to start. They wanted me to have a CT scan because I passed out. I hadn’t looked in a mirror, but I knew I looked a mess. I could feel my swollen face and couldn’t open my left eye properly. I also had dried blood on my hands. I didn’t know where that had come from. A nurse opened the curtain and walked in. “Hi Bella, my name is Jenny, I am one of the nurses here. I’ve come to help you get ready. We need to get your clothes off and put this gown on. We’ll put your clothes in an evidence bag that Detective Holgate will need. Then we will start with taking some swabs of the inside of your mouth, underneath your nails and then the doctor will come in and do the rape kit. After that, we will get you down to radiology for your scan. I’m going to stay with you though, ok?” She smiled kindly, but I saw the hint of sympathy in her eyes. &
Chapter 6BellaI woke up early the next day, it was Sunday morning. I needed to go to the police station and my statement. I was supposed to do it yesterday, but my mom called them and told them I had been sleeping all day. Detective Holgate was fine, he understood, but he needed me to go in before he put a warrant out for his arrest. I left my mom a note and called a cab. I still needed to call the club; I’ll call them later. I didn’t have Axel’s number to call him and ask him myself, I wanted to talk to him though, I kept thinking about him. I was lost in thought when I heard the cab pull up. I grabbed my purse and threw it in my bag and locked up. I ran down to the cab and told him where I needed to go. We drove in silence for the ten minutes it took to get to the police station. It’s not a big town. We can get from one side of town to the other in only 10 minutes, and that’s where the station is. I pa
Chapter 7BellaI woke up on the Monday morning when my alarm went off for work. I got up, jumped in the shower and picked out my work clothes. I chose a pair of black trousers and a pale green shirt. I carefully applied make up, I had to wear it heavier than usual to cover the bruises. Luckily, the swelling had gone down now. I grabbed my laptop, my purse and went downstairs. I brewed a coffee and made some toast. I picked up a phone yesterday on my way home from Nic’s house, so I picked it up, deciding to text Axel. I tried to text him yesterday, but I didn’t know what to say. I started to type “Hi Axel, it’s Bella, thank you for what you did.” I deleted it before I pressed send. I didn’t know what to say. I glanced at the clock. 8:15. Damn it! I should have left five minutes ago. I threw my phone in my bag and ran out the door. I didn’t live too far away from work, and it was a lovely day fo
Chapter 8AxelOh, I don’t think so. She turned to walk away. Did she think she was leaving like that without an explanation? I think not. “Nope, you’re coming with me.” I took her hand and pulled her gently toward me. I took hold of her hand and started to walk toward my bike. “Where are we going?” She asked.“The clubhouse.”“Clubhouse?”“Our clubhouse, I’m in a MC club, remember?”“I remember, I didn’t know you had a clubhouse though.”“Yeah all MC clubs do. Come on.”We got to my bike. Her eyes widened when she realized I expected her to get on. “Erm, can I just call a cab?” I smirked. “You never been on a bike before Pumpkin?”“Pumpkin?” She snarled.“Your hair color reminds me of a pumpkin.”“It’s not o
Chapter 9AxelI didn’t want to get my ass kicked by Tina for interrupting them, so I hung back and waited for them to finish. I was only stood there for seconds when Ink came out and called me into his office. I walked through the open door and sat in the chair opposite his. “Just got word that Fox hasn’t been seen since Friday night. He’s hiding out somewhere. We’re looking into who he has round him with the resources to help him out, but for now, he’s gone.” “Bella said he didn’t live round here, he lived in North Bridge. He was just visiting his mom over on Elm. Have you checked there?” “Yeah we’ve had eyes all over this side of NC. My cousin is an Aces MC, he’s told his Prez and they’re looking out on their end, I’ve also spoke to Dante, Prez of the Bandits. Nothing over there either. Don’t worry, we’ll find him. He’ll slip
Chapter 10BellaI woke up the next morning with Axel’s arm around my waist and his hand on my breast. I heard a buzzing noise coming from my bag. I got up quietly and crept over to my bag. I pulled my phone out just as the ringing stopped. 5 missed calls from mom. Damn. I dialed her number and waited for her to answer. “ISABELLA SINCLAIR! WHERE ARE YOU?!?” She was furious. “Hi mom, I’m really sorry I didn’t come home. I bumped into Axel and I was a little bit drunk. He bought me back to the clubhouse and we fell asleep watching a movie.” “Axel, from last week? And you’ve been with him all night?” She asked. “Yeah, I’m sorry. Nothing happened though. I’ll be leaving soon, and I’ll come straight home.” I promised. She agreed and then we hung up. I turned to see Axel’s eyes on me. “Good morning beautiful.” He said. I walked over to
Chapter 11BellaI had sent a text to Alex asking if he could pick me up here instead, he replied that it was fine. Nic ran to the door to meet him. “Hey! I’m Nic, Bella will be right out. She looks hot.” Alex laughed. “She is always beautiful.” I blushed, what did this man do to me? I walked down to hall to meet him. He watched me walking toward him, I could see the lust in his eyes. He didn’t say anything. He just watched me walking. When I got to him, he pulled me close to him and whispered in my ear “I hope you’re ready because I want you at home with me tonight.” I blushed and smiled as he kissed me on the cheek. “You look beautiful.” I noticed he was wearing a suit; he was the most handsome man I’d ever seen, even on the tv. He raised his hand, and put a finger under my chin, he lifted my face, so I was looking at him. He kissed me again on my lips, and then
EpilogueBella3 months laterI sat in a makeshift dressing room upstairs in Andrew and Clare’s home, Alex’s parents. I had someone doing my hair and another person doing my makeup. I had never had my makeup done for me before. I barely even wore makeup. My mom and Nic sat with me, they were having their hair and makeup done too. After all, it was my wedding day! Alex was with Tank, the newly married Buzz and his dad getting ready in another room. The ceremony was to start in an hour. Alex’s mom was looking after Sammy for us while we got ready. We were having a small ceremony in his parents back garden, then having a barbeque and a party afterwards. Then my husband and I would be heading to the airport for our honeymoon. I didn’t know where we were going. Alex planned everything.It was a gorgeous Spring day, perfect for an outdoor wedding. The sun was shining, it felt warm. The flowers w
Chapter 35Axel8 months laterIt was almost Christmas. Bella was due to have our baby in a few days. She was tired all the time, always aching. She was still so happy. She was so excited to be bringing our baby into the world. We had been to birthing classes, so we sort of knew what to expect at the birth. She looked more beautiful than I had ever seen, it was such a turn on seeing her all round with my baby. The sex had been incredible, she was more turned on than I had ever seen, she loved being on top and riding me, it was more comfortable for her and obviously safer for the baby, so that was our position we always used, fuck if I didn’t love it though. Watching her beautiful round belly and her huge tits bouncing up and down? Fuck, I’m hard just thinking about it. We had to go out though, we needed to go gift shopping for her mom, my family and Nic. I didn’t tend to buy anything for any members of
Chapter 34BellaThe next morning, I awoke to find the bed empty. I checked my cell; it had just turned 7am. Where was Alex? He never woke up before his alarm. I knew a lot of the brothers would have stayed last night and would still be passed out in their rooms, so knowing this, I crept out of bed and grabbed a pair of shorts and a top. I slid them on, threw my sneakers on and walked down to the bar. I was holding my stomach, protecting my baby. I had done this a lot since I found out I was pregnant. I still couldn’t believe it. I was having Alex’s baby. I have never seen him so excited. It was hard to believe I had known him for just over two months. Everything felt so right when we were together, like we fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle. I walked down the stairs to the main room. I loved this room, it was huge. Alex told me that when Ink became president, he redid the whole place, hiring contractors and doing everyth
Chapter 33BellaI’m engaged. And I’m having a baby. I was so close to dying. All this happened in the last 24 hours, it makes it hard to accept really. I was going to be a mom. I was discharged from the hospital after a few hours, the tests came back all fine, I wasn’t sexually assaulted. I had a bruised cheekbone and a black eye from where he hit me, also a thick lip. I had got back to the clubhouse a while ago with Alex. Ink called Church straight away, he wanted me in there too. I suppose after what happened only this morning, I can understand why. They hadn’t found Daniel or Micah. I knew Ink had stayed at the Bandits clubhouse to wait for their Prez to get back. We sat in the room where Church was held. I was sitting on Alex’s lap, he told me there wasn’t enough chairs, but that had obviously been a lie. I chuckled to myself, looking round the room and seeing half a dozen empty chairs. He just
Chapter 32AxelWe arrived two and a half hours later. Grizzly and Ink up front, me, Creek, Stitch, Gears, Rider and Roman behind. With Tank still in hospital and Buzz on babysitting duty, we were short. I hoped we all made it out alive. We pulled into the car park a few minutes before we got to the club. We didn’t want them to hear our bikes, so we decided to go the rest of the way on foot. We called Buzz from the road, I asked him to hack into the security cameras to Bandits. He called me back a few minutes later. “Their security sucks.” He said. “Is she there?” I asked, praying that she was. I wasn’t a religious man, my family weren’t religious either, but I found myself praying to God that she would be safe. “Yeah, she’s there, she’s alive, they’re in one of the back rooms. There are five men in the common room, another three guarding her. I can’t see Eagle, Vo
Chapter 31AxelShe’d gone. I knew the minute I heard Tina yell. I rushed out, alongside my brothers. Tina was looking at me. “I’m sorry Alex, she’s gone.” I looked down, Gears was lying unconscious on the floor. “What the fuck happened… and why the fuck is a prospect lying on my floor after being knocked the fuck out!” Ink yelled. Gears started to stir, Stitch walked over to him, making sure he didn’t have a concussion. “Axel, I’m sorry brother, I wasn’t watching properly. I was waiting to see when you came out, and she clocked me from behind. I don’t even know what she used. Has she gone?” I nodded. Buzz spoke up. “I’ll go and see what I can find. I will work on this straight away to find out who took her.” I nodded again. I know it wasn’t his fault, yeah, he shouldn’t have taken his eyes off her, but she wanted to get o
Chapter 30BellaI woke up a while later, I wasn’t sure how long I had been out. I opened my eyes and saw three men standing round. One of them was snarling at me. He had a bloody nose and my bottom lip had swollen up; he must have been the one I kicked. I tried to move, but I had rope tied around my stomach and was hand cuffed to the chair, so I couldn’t move my arms or legs. “Who are you?” I asked. “We’re the people you should be afraid of little girl.” One of the men snarled. “Pfft, I don’t think so man, I live in a clubhouse full of the scariest men I’ve ever met. You lot don’t scare me.” I said, I was trying to be brave, not letting them intimidate me and thinking I was afraid, but I was, I was really scared. I noticed someone in the corner lying down. A woman. She looked like she was sleeping, but in a heap. She had probably been knocked out too. Her head tur
Chapter 29BellaThe week flew by, I had gone back to work the Monday before, and Ink and Alex had made a routine of who would be with me and for how long. There was a few of them who took it in shifts. It was the Thursday when Alex had been on shift that Tank called. He was being released. He said that Julia wasn’t able to pick him up as she had work, so he asked if Alex could. He explained that he was on shift (he knew about what was going on- he had been kept up to date about the new developments.), so he said he would go over with Buzz after he had finished. Rider was on the next shift. Alex ha
Chapter 28AxelShe was finished an hour later. I had decided to wait until we were alone before I told her what Ink had told me. I was however, going to keep her here as long as I could. I went into the room where she was just dressing. “Hi beautiful, how are you feeling?” She smiled that beautiful smiles of hers for me. “Hi, I’m feeling ok.” I handed her the flowers I had remembered to buy on the way back up from my meeting with Peter, “these are for you beautiful. I’m so proud of you” I leant down, kissing her. “Aww thank you” she said, accepting the flowers. “I love them.”We were told right away that her examination came up clear. They had been sent her records from her local doctor back in North Carolina. Dr. Fielding came to tell us that she was needed on Friday for her second lot of bloods, then if all is well, her procedure would be done on the Mond
