Maz POV
Edward looks at me, and I decide to tell him everything.
“You see sex as a way to create a baby, which is fine, but you knew I didn’t. Your idea of sex is that, but it doesn’t align with most people’s ideas of sex. You would shout and call me names if I even tried to touch myself. I was only allowed two glasses of wine. Any more was seen as bad.”
His mouth opens, and my hand goes up.
“You plan things with my parents and don’t tell me. Like I’m not part of this marriage, and my parents have more rights within it than I do. You brought in a woman and fucked her every night. You ignored that you’re the issue when it comes to having kids. You got pleasure from making me feel less of a woman for not getting pregnant,” I say it all and then go quiet.
Edward looks at me; nothing he says or does will make me stay. I will pretend to be, in the hope that he
Maz POVI take the phone out of my pocket and hit Edward’s name.“Yes?”“I’m sorry,” I whisper.“You know, if you come back, you need to make them aware you’re no longer part of their gang, right?” It’s not a gang. I fight back, swearing at him.“I know. I will.” I say.“Bullshit, Mazikeen, you didn’t fight much to stay!” He shouts.“I promise I will. I need you to promise me, Edward, if I come back, you will tell me everything. I want to know everything about that night I was raped and everything after. I want to know who she is and where she is, and you can’t stop me from speaking to her,” I say, waiting.“If you come back, then I will tell you everything. It’s late, so stay at your place tonight and come tomorrow morning. I love you.” His words have me nodding.Opening my mouth
KingI get off the bike and walk in. Ignoring the eye rolls, I walk to where Rose is, and she smiles at us.“Keep her safe, right?” I ask, and she nods. “I mean it, Rose, watch her.” There’s more to her fuckin’ story, and if she doesn’t know, then we don’t know if she’s safe or not.“I swear, we won’t even drink,” Rose smiles, and I nod. Kissing Mazikeen, I walk to the table.“See ya didn’t listen,” Colt laughs.“Fuck off, need to talk to ya’s,” I turn and walk through, taking my seat at the table, I watch them walk in.“We can’t kill him, not when she went back to him,” my dad speaks and sits.“Not about Edward. it’s possibly about The Bears and their link to her,” I say and watch them go silent.“Link to her
Maz POVKing sat me with Rose and went to speak to his brothers before coming out and dragging me into a room. I sat there while Doc looked over the scar and watched his concentration.He seemed to be working out what the mark was, or at least I thought so. He said he had to keep working on it, so maybe he hadn’t.Afterwards, King once again took me back through and sat me with Rose. Now, we’re in a shop, and she’s guiding me through some clothing that I might want.I don’t typically wear jeans. Most of my wardrobe is conservative, so the clothing in this shop is way out of my element. Then again, the clothing I wear is what my mother and Edward had me buy.So I guess this is a new start, which means a new me and new clothes.“She needs a jacket!” Ebony walks across the store and begins looking through them.“I agree, leather jacket, go try some on,” Ro
MAZ POVLast night passed quickly. I’ve hardly seen King all day; I’ve spent most of my time with Rose, Ebony, and some of the other ladies. We’ve been getting things cooked for the fundraiser. The guys set everything up outside, but we’re doing more of the organising and cooking.“That’s Avril,” Ebony nudges me, and I look across at the woman. She’s King’s age and is stunning. Blonde hair floats down her back, and her breasts are pushed up so high they are basically not even in her top anymore.I groan at the fact she’s wearing hot pants and has her stomach on full display, and here I am, covered up.“Don’t worry, she’s not important,” Ebony smiles at me. “You’re going to meet Kian today,” she says, and I nod.Kian is King’s younger brother. I’ve not met him yet, but apparently, he l
Maz POVI keep smiling at King, and he mutters something about Rose being a bad influence. Grabbing my hands, he pulls me from the floor but doesn’t stop.I end up wrapped around his body, and he walks into the toilets. I laugh slightly, and he groans.“I’m sorry, I should have hit her quicker,” I joke, and he laughs. He pushes me against the wall and stares at me.“Ya do realise what ya fuckin’ shouted, right?” He asks, and I think back, but I don’t. My head shakes, and he chuckles. What did I shout? I blame Rose. She gave me too much alcohol. “Rather than telling me,” he says, and I watch as he unfastens my jeans and pulls them down.“Step out, babes,” I lift my feet and step out of them, confused by what I shouted out as he hasn’t told me yet. “As I was sayin’, rather than tellin’ me ya fuckin’ loved m
Maz POVKing guides me to a table where Doc and Big King are. He pushes me down into the seat.“Fix ’er face while I speak,” King explains, and Doc nods. He walks off and comes back with some things. I watch Colt and the others join us.“Ya messed up her face for a quiet one, ya can fight,” Big King laughs. I know how to throw a punch. That is down to Tony.“Yeah, when I walked in, ya were laying into her, so how the fuck did ya learn to punch like a man?” Colt laughs.“My brother taught me,” I reply, and King looks at me. He doesn’t know about my family, so he has no idea I have a brother. I guess that’s a conversation for later.“Well, ya broke her nose. Proud of you for fightin’ back,” Big King smiles at me.“Need to find out how Avril knows. She mentioned Edward and her daughter. Maz only told Rose and Ebony, and we know they
Maz POVKing looks at me, waiting for me to explain, but I don't want to. I don't want to get into it."Babes, need to know what the fuck' ya see that has ya hiding ya body from me." He wraps his arms around my waist. "I noticed. Ya fine stripping in front of me, but not if I am focused on ya body, so explain what the fuckin' issue is," he asks and waits for my response."I'm not as young as you, King," I say, and he laughs."Ya not fuckin' old either, so tell me right now, show me one issue with ya fuckin' body. Come on, I'm waiting." He stands and waits. He honestly wants me to point out every flaw and issue I have on my body."You really want me to list the issues with my body?" I ask, and he nods."Yeah, 'cause I don't see shit, so tell me," he says and waits for me to explain."Fine, for one, my boobs. They are not as firm as they used to be, the difference from ten years ago is huge," I shout and he laughs. Moving, I swing for him, and his hand catches my fist."Sorry for laughi
Maz POVToday has been long. I've spent the entire day working. Mondays are the worst, but I think that's more because I've spent all weekend with King, and now I'm faced with not seeing him for hours. Then, there's the chance after he's busy with the club, so I won't see him even more today. It's like I'm having withdrawals from him.I hate hiding our relationship, but he only has two months left. He studied elsewhere for years until he got a spot here. I'm glad he did, as I doubt we would be together otherwise.Something that makes me want to work is the sketches and poems that King writes and draws. I love the small bit of happiness I get when I see the piece of paper before I even see what he's drawn or written.I've got to go through divorce things, so today I don't leave the lecture hall, I sit and work on it from my laptop, which shocks King when he walks in with the paper.Looking at him, I smile."Not a surprise if ya fuckin' here to see me put it down." He laughs and places
Maz POVNo. My head shakes, and I look around, panicking. He grips my chin and forces me to face him."What is the one thing Mazikeen that will keep a person to keep your secrets? Someone they love and cherish. Your dad had a choice, give us you and we make sure you don't die, he speaks, and well, we have no use for you anymore."My body tries to escape from under his.I don't want to believe that. I don't want to."What about when I was fourteen?" I ask. Grateful that, for now, he is just talking to me."Your dad was caught sneaking to meet someone from the FBI. We needed to send him a reminder and a warning to your brother not to fuck Don's wife. We showed how easy it was to get to you and how easy it would be to kill you."My eyes scan the room for an escape, not from him but from the conversation.He moves and wipes the tear away from my cheek."Who was it?" I ask. "Who has her?"He moves back and turns me ove
Maz POVI fight back the tears as I rush. I'm not even sure where I am going. I just need to get away from there and think about all this. I need to work out why King wouldn't tell me he knew her.I continue to drive and consider everything.My eyes snap to the side when I see a car heading for me. My hands move to turn the car so it misses, but I'm too late. It hits me, and I spin across the road before slamming into the railing. Groaning, I hold my neck, that fucking hurt. I should have been focusing on where I was going. If I had been, maybe I would have seen the car on the wrong side of the road.The door opens, and I'm pulled out before being pushed into a car. Glancing up, I see Edward. Why is he here? I am fighting to wake up my mind after the crash. My body hurts. I'm not sure if it's from shock or the actual crash."I said I wanted to talk things through, but you refused to listen, so I am forced to take you," he shouts, a
Maz POVWe're sitting, having coffee, and we've only really spoken about King and him growing up. Big King, however, in a way is shutting down; he's not telling me everything, and I don't know what he's hiding. I feel like it has to do with King's childhood, as he keeps avoiding talking about it."Right, finish ya coffee and try again. Let's see what ya remember," he looks at me and I nod.After finishing my coffee, I grab the gun and load it, ensuring the safety is on. I stand and focus on the target. Flipping off the safety, shooting, my body rocks. Big King groans."Fuck sake Maz!" I feel him behind me. "What's the one thing I said to make sure ya always do?" He asks. I can't remember. We've spent too long sitting and talking for me to remember what he told me. I guess this is a problem as I need to remember for longer than thirty seconds."Stop worryin', Maz, and relax. Open ya legs," he explains, kicking my feet apart, "Relax.
Maz POVWalking to my car, Big King stops me. "Go to the lot," he says, and I nod. Climbing in my car, I drive there and see him following. I'm not sure why he wanted me to go here; maybe this is where Tony is now.Stopping the car, I step out. He waves me over, and I follow him around the back to the shooting range. My eyes scan everything as he holds the door open for me. The last time I walked in here, King was shooting at Tony's head, well, close to it."Don't worry. There's nobody on the floor today," he laughs slightly, and I step in. I'm still not sure why I am here. He leads me around and stands beside a table.I stare at him and then at the guns. Is this a joke? It has to be right. Is he wanting me to touch a gun?"Pick one up, see which feels right," he says, waiting for me to, but I don't move. I'm not touching a gun. "Maz, ya need to be protected. Anythin' could happen, and ya end up alone. Pick 'em up, see which feels
Maz POVWalking back down, I grab my bag. "I'm late for work," I mutter."Rose sorted it. Someone stood in for your lessons you weren't there for," Ink explains, and I nod. Tony is glaring at King again."Get used to it Tony, we fuck often, if it bothers ya that much, get earplugs," King laughs, and wraps his arms around my body. "See ya in class, yeah?""I better, King," I laugh and kiss him before leaving. I hope they don't fight. Getting to work, I find myself lost in classes. Lunch comes, and I pack my things away. I'm going to wait for King this time.Normally, I leave, but I'm waiting. Sitting, I wait and watch the door open. As I see the person walking in, I sit up."Would you mind accompanying me to my office, please, Mazikeeen?"James Felton looks at me, and I nod. Standing, I grab my things and follow him, getting into his office I sit."Is everything okay? I know I was off for a bit, but I had home l
Maz POV"Sorry for all the shit Sweetpea, swear I didn't know. I stayed away because I knew coming back too much would drag ya into the shit, and I didn't want to," he looks at me, and I nod."It's fine, Tony, I get it," I shrug slightly. Nothing can be done anymore."No, it's not fine. Why the fuck didn't ya tell me ya was raped? Been fuckin' fourteen years." He looks at me, shocked, and I can see he is hurt."I felt ashamed, Tony. Mum and Dad blamed me. They said I shouldn't have gone to that party and I caused it. I wasn't about to tell you as well and have you say the same shit," I explain."Ya think I would blame you? Fuck Maz, no. That shit isn't down to you, even if it had nothing to do with me and Dad it wasn't on you. You were a fucking kid trying to enjoy something in life," he shouts, and I nod."What do you know about your daughter?" He asks, and I shake my head."Nothing, I don't know anything, Tony. For months, I was hid
Maz POVKing doesn't move, and Tony glares at him. Doc and Ink sit chuckling, and I feel like something has happened we don't know about."What's ya problem?" King shouts and looks at Tony. I want to go back upstairs to the peaceful life we had when we woke up without the drama of everything and everyone."Don't agree with her being with ya, that's what. She deserves fuckin' better," Tony argues, and I sigh."Well, it's not ya choice, is it," King mutters. He's right. Tony has no right in my life. I kiss King's neck and keep my body wrapped around him."No, but I ain't happy about having to sit here and hear ya fuckin' using her in bed," Tony shouts, and my eyes widen. Shit, of course, they heard. I hadn't even thought about that.King steps forward. "Using her! I didn't fuckin' use her," he shouts and I bite against his ear, he groans and stops before looking at me."Still attached to your back," I laugh, and he roll
Maz POVWhen I woke up, King's arms and legs were still wrapped around my body. I felt safe here. He is like a giant man cage protecting me. If I could stay here for life, I would. I know that no one can get close enough to hurt me while King is wrapped around my body."Yesterday was hard, babe, but at least now we're gettin' answers. Tony might be able to help find ya daughter as well," he explains, and I nod. Something tells me Tony won't know. If he had no idea about what had happened to me, how would he have known about my daughter? Surely, if they hid what happened to me from him, they would hide my daughter as well? I turn in his hold to look at him. I don't want to talk about any of it, not yet.My arms reach up and wrap around his neck. Kissing him, I push my body closer to him. "You didn't fuck me yesterday, King. I'm not letting you out of this bed until you have," I smirk, and he laughs. I mean it, though; yesterday was too different
Maz POVTony glares at King."Get the fuck away from him, Sweetpea," Tony shouts, and my head shakes. King's arm stays wrapped around my body, and his other hand is grasped into my hair. It makes me feel safe; it reminds me I'm safe, and there's no way I am walking away from King.Standing, I cry into his chest. God, all this time, I had no idea Tony caused it. I had no idea he was part of it all."How about, rather than telling her to get away from me, ya think back and consider what the fuck ya did when she was fourteen that fucked with The Bears and pissed 'em off!" King shouts, and I hear movement."She didn't tell ya, neither did ya parents. She was raped at fourteen. They cut The Bears patch into her fucking hip. The fuckin' cunt got her pregnant and came back for the baby, but ya didn't know that, right? Great fuckin' club ya part of that rape and beat women," Big King shouts.The room falls quiet for a moment. Did he
