A few days later, Addie was just getting off work. Cage was on his bike waiting for her to leave the hospital and go to her car. Her phone rang. She looked at it and saw it was her mom. Smiling she answered it.“Hello? Oh my God! Ok! I’ll be right there.”While she was talking, Cage got a text from Viper. “Get my daughter to the clubhouse now. Lydia was followed.”“Let’s go.” Cage replied.He grabbed her hand and led her to the parking lot. When she started towards her car, he pulled her back to his bike.“Leave it. I’ll send someone for it. Get on.” He ordered.Cage drove as fast as was safe. They arrived at the clubhouse. Once he parked, they both jumped off the bike and ran inside. Lydia was sitting on a sofa with Viper’s arms around her. Addie could see she was visibly shaken.“Mom!” Addie cried.“Addie!” Lydia responded.She stood up as Addie reached her. Addie wrapped her mom tightly in a hug. After a few minutes, they sat down.“Are you ok? What happened?” Addie asked.“I was
Viper sends a couple of brothers to the dirty cop’s address. He had them rough him up until he sung like a canary. To be a tough guy he gave in way too quickly.They were able to get the information out of him about who hired him to threaten Lydia. Unfortunately, it was over the phone and money was wired to his account from an offshore account. It would take Mac time to trace it all down. Tensions were high around the clubhouse. Viper had warned everyone to take the wild and crazy to their rooms until his daughter adjusted to the life. With the way she was raised, he didn’t want her to get overwhelmed with everything that was happening plus club life.Mac was still trying to work on finding out who ran Lydia off the road, sent the notes, and started the fire. He realized the technology in their area needed a serious upgrade. He mentioned it to Viper. But there wasn’t much they could do now. That would have to be a future problem.Right now, Viper’s focus was on keeping his woman and
“I can’t do that. And I won't do that to Addie.” Cage replied.“Brother, I know you love her. But you have to ask yourself what’s the best way to protect her. You already know about the shadow that’s been following her. He’s good, but not as good as Hawk.” Steel replied.“Addie will never forgive me. She barely did last time. I can’t take the risk that she won't forgive me again. I have to at least tell her what’s going on.” Cage replied.“No. For this to work, you need genuine emotions. You need it to be as real as possible. If she knows, are you willing to bet how good she can act when it goes down?” Steel asked.“Fuck! This blows. If this doesn’t work, I’m turning in my cut, getting Addie and leaving the state.” Cage warned, slamming both fists on the table.Everyone looked at Viper. They weren’t sure if he was going to explode and destroy the room or remain there tearing into each of them with his eyes and words. He was seething mad. He knew they were out of options.“I just got L
Cage was sitting on one of the couches with a club woman on his lap. They were laughing at something. Addie walked over to him. She was completely shocked out of her mind. He had never been like this.“Cage? What’s going on?” Addie demanded.“Addie, well I guess it’s time we did this. I tried, really, I did. I mean you have a smoking-hot body, and the sex was great. But let’s face it. You don’t fit into this world. You’re too soft, too much of a good girl. You need to go back to the world you were raised in. You and your mom have brought nothing but trouble to this club. It was peaceful. It was wild and crazy sex all the time. Most of the brothers have been ordered to their rooms like kids while you ladies are in the clubhouse. All the members are getting sick of it. We’re done. I’m done. You need to go home with your mom to her new house.” Cage ordered.“Cage? Where’s this coming from? You’ve never acted like this. You’ve never treated me like this! Why?” Addie demanded.“I just expl
Addie was very depressed over the whole situation. It had been two whole weeks since the show at the clubhouse. The first week Addie refused to come out of her room. She mostly cried and slept.Lydia took her food and talked her into eating a little each day. Viper checked in every day. It was killing him knowing she was in so much pain.Lydia begged him to let her tell Addie, but he had refused so far. She was very worried about Addie's depression. Watching her daughter hurt so much, and not being able to say anything was torture. She explained it to Viper, but he begged her to hold off just a little longer. The second week Addie finally went back to work. She looked like hell. Luckily, she hadn't run into Paris yet. They hadn't talked since that night Carly had told her about the bet. Addie hadn't forgiven Paris for her role in the whole mess. Addie spends her time at work and home with her mom.Her third day back at work, had her working in the NICU with Paris. They had a 30 week
Northern Chapter Riders MC Maverick Jr- Prez “Mav” Maddox Jr - VP “Dawg” Sam Jr - IT tech “Gadget” Brady -Treasurer “Shooter” Levi - Road Captain “Compass” Blake - Sargent at Arms “Pilot” Hawk, Eagle, Shadow- “Special forces Recon”Viper planned a secret meeting with Lydia. He had her shadows take her and Addie to their Northern clubhouse. He was going there on club business. He left Steel, his VP in charge. It was the perfect opportunity to see the love of his life, and explain to his daughter and hopefully ease her pain.No one was suspicious of him going as he went a few times a year. He was packing a bag when Shondra knocked on his door. He opened the door and left it open to resume putting stuff in his duffle bag. “Are you going to let me come this time?” Shondra questioned. “You know I never let you come on my club business trips.” Viper replied.“I know. Can’t blame a girl for asking.” She laughed. “Besides, you haven’t gotten back my trust yet.” He remarked. “Will I
Viper pulled up Steel's info on his cell, and pushed talk. He needed to tell his VP asap. They needed to get the women and the rat into the cells in the basement. And he needed Mac to get all their electronic equipment and go over it, before any of them found out they were on to them."Steel, are you able to talk?" Viper demanded."Hold on. Let me go to your office." Steel replied."Get Cage, Joker, Mac, and Diego too." Viper ordered."OK." Steel agreed.Viper waited while everyone was called into his office. Steel motioned them to sit at the table they hold meetings at. After they were all there, he put the phone on speaker."Viper, everyone you requested is here, and you're on speaker." Steel replied."Did no one think to ask Addie if she recognized anyone following her?" Viper asked."What?" Cage demanded."Addie saw the brother following her. She thought I had assigned him to watch over her." Viper explained."Who?" Cage growled."I need y'all to get Shondra and Carly and put them
It took several hours, but they finally made it to the hospital where Cage was in surgery. No one had come out to tell them what was going on. Addie paced, and then would stare out the windows. Doc finally arrived, and he went to check on Cage. Addie said a ton of prayers.Finally, Doc came back to the waiting room. Addie rushed over to him. She couldn't tell if it was good or bad news. Viper and her mom were right behind her. Addie wrapped her arms around herself."Well, it was bad. But they managed to get the bleeding stopped. He's in ICU for the time being. They want to make sure none of the bleeders start back up. They have him in an induced coma to keep him still. As long as no complications arise, he should pull through."When can I see him?" Addie whispered."Honey, I know he'll love that. A nurse will come get you as soon as they have him settled." Doc replied.The nurse finally came and took Addie to his room. They allowed Viper to go for a few minutes as well. Cage had so ma
