JosephI told her I loved her and then ran out like a schoolboy. Grow up, Jo I walked past Jay and told him not to leave that door for any reason. If he needed to be excused to tell me in the comm by pointing to my ear. These other men didn't need to know we had them. He nodded. I walked down the hallway and asked Zeus where he and Henry were. They were in Ark's office waiting for me to be done helping Sandra get to sleep. I walked into the small closet office and sat down. "Ark, Your office needs a serious upgrade." He looked up in anger but he masked it quickly. I pretended not to notice. "Well, could you excuse us?" He looked up at me like I couldn't be talking to him. "That means to leave." Zeus was a bit more harsh with him. He nodded and almost stomped out of the office like a toddler throwing a tantrum. I closed the door behind him and laughed. "Definitely something up with him. Have we heard anything from Luca?" Henry nodded saying we were to meet him tomorrow at his father's
SandraI laid in bed feeling rested. I tried not to listen to their session of revenge with Ryan, but part of me wanted to hear him hurt. The darkest part of me. He had tormented me, tried to assault me, and left me more bruised than I was before. He deserved to feel that pain. He deserved more than that. Before I could stop my mouth the words came out. I told him I loved him, but what I said next shocked even me. "I want to be the one to kill him." It came out without even a thought. Joseph and the others didn't respond to me. There was an awkward silence until Joseph said he would see me soon. I had never killed anyone. There were times before they took me that I thought about drugging him. I wasn't planning on tieing him to the bed and burning the house down like in that one-lifetime movie I watched years ago when I was home sick from school. I just wanted to put him to sleep, long enough that I could leave and never come back. I was always afraid to. I was afraid he would find me
JosephHenry made sure that Sandra had food for when she woke back up, I sat with her while she drifted back to sleep. I've found that giving her ecstasy worked as well as a sedative. We left one of our guards by her door. I am quite certain that Jay threatened to rip him in half if anything happened to her. Miss J was happy to check in on her as well. Im not sure how long this meeting with Luca will last, and I wasn't taking any chances. We also left Ryan in chains in one of Ark's holding cells. I didn't need him kicking in screaming in the trunk at a family-oriented restaurant. He will also be guarded. While in the car we talked over how much to tell Luca. Zeus wants to tell him the whole story, while Henry wasn't sure if that was a good idea. "You know the stuff he messes with he doesn't care about one woman." His argument was valid. Luca ran sex rings and BDSM dungeons. It's rumored that the girls he has chained in there aren't always willing. It sickens me. They promise these girl
SandyI woke up to someone knocking at my door. I picked up my comm, turned it on, and put it back in my ear. "Are you guys outside the door?" No answer. I took a deep breath and looked down at my phone. I dialed Joseph's number and listened to it ring. "Hello Sunshine, are you okay?" He sounded worried immediately when he answered. I told him about the knock on the door and he told Jay to get ahold of the guard. "I will be there in minutes darling, do not open the door." I sat down on the bed. I looked down at my hands watching the way they trembled. It angered me. How could he take all the strength I had gained back and just strip it away from me? I walked towards the door and opened it. "Can I help you?" The man looked down to the floor. "We just noticed your guard had gone and wanted to be sure you were okay ma'am," I told him I was fine. He turned quickly walking away. I glanced over towards the hall to the rooms and saw Joseph leaning against the wall smiling. He started walking
JosephWe walked around the path after learning that Jay indeed wanted to join my inner circle. We are back to four. I do believe Mason would be happy with my choice of a new brother. I was very pleased he accepted my offer. I held my Sunshine as we walked. I kept asking her if she was okay, but she was enjoying the cool air. I enjoyed watching her enjoy herself. She laughed while she talked with everyone again looking more free than she did before we left that room. I need to get her back to the country house. We turned around to the back of the house. When I glanced over to the back, the gardens that use to sit there were gone. Two garage-looking buildings were sitting where they once were. The day of the celebration party when Ark was opening his North office, When I promoted him to territory leader. "What the hell is he doing up here?" I felt my anger rising. Everyone stopped. "Jay take my Sunshine back to her room please." I smiled down at her kissing her forehead. "I'll See you i
SandraHenry and I were talking about all the things we could cook together when we go back to the country house. I had decided after this stuff is taken care of I am going to ask Joseph if we could go out there for a while, to finally show me those greenhouses. When they walked in I could see this was not the soft Joseph I was used to, this was the rage-filled darkness he said existed. The part of him he didn't want to hide from me. He walked past me and straight to the bathroom, slamming the door. I looked up to Zeus. "It's not good Sunshine, the meth was only the beginning." He looked from me to Henry. Jay looked quite angry himself. I walked to the bathroom door and knocked lightly. Again focusing on him takes away my pain. He opened the door looking down at me, his eyes darker than usual. I put my hand on his chest and walked towards him, he backed up slowly. "What's going on Smoke?" He squinted down at me shutting the door behind me. "I want you." He reached down kissing me, I c
Joseph"Why the hell would he help him escape?" I yelled at the others while we walked down the hall. No one in the house would look at me, I could feel the fear radiating off of them. I chose a few of the northern men I recognized and told them to go with Zeus to gather the others for a meeting. I knew who Ark's second was, but I didn't trust him either. Zeus would eliminate him. None of the higher members would be getting his position as I know they knew what he was doing out back. I was about to make a low-level north member very happy today. Then I am taking Sandra right back to the country. I will not risk that psycho ever getting his hands on her again. I would get ahold of Pan to take care of Dime, and get Candy into rehab again, that's what Mason would want. That's what got him killed watching after her. Confronting the detective for feeding her addiction. He left bruises on her once too like the ones he left on Sandra. There was no talking to Mason, he was going to stop him.
SandraIt was weird to be in a normal car after being in those SUVs. Henry was so excited to get back to the country house, he was going over all the recipes we would make together for what felt like an hour. I was happy too, it seems everything was peaceful at the country house until we left it. I started to recognize the roads we were on. I knew we were heading through the maze to cover our trail to the house, my excitement got greater. I was dazing out the window thinking of the flowers. "When the boss says every 30 mins he surely means it." Henry chuckled bringing me out of my head. "He is sure a punctual man." I smiled. I knew Joseph had told Henry to update him every 30 minutes. Everyone was worried about me since Ark helped Ryan escape. I was terrified at first but remembered promising myself I wouldn't feel that way anymore. When I saw the fear and guilt in Joseph, I knew I had to be strong and brave. There must be a balance between a queen and her king. "Well, I am just excite
JosephI cried like a baby feeling her warmth and breathing in my arms. The anger I felt subsided for a moment, and I just wanted to feel her close to me. “What did he do to you?” I asked in her ear, my voice rough from the tears. “I’m okay boss.” She said being stronger than she had to be as usual. I sat up and looked directly in her eyes, “don’t lie to me darlin.” I looked at her for a few moments and she spilled what happened. The monster stuck his hand down her pants, he was going to force her. He was going to rape my queen. He is going to suffer. I stand from the bed and storm away from the room. Grabbing a comm, with the electric back on, I tell the guys to keep him alive. No one responds. It’s eerily quiet in the house. “Where is everyone?” I walk back to the room and reach Sandra a comm as well. She tells me she needs a shower, and I nod, waiting for the response. Jay finally responds, “It’s Jackson, Smoke. We don’t think he is going to make it.” My stomach flopped and I instan

SandraI can hear the window slide open in the room. I immediately felt stupid that I didn’t make sure they were locked. The room is dark, other than slight lighting coming from the natural outside lights. I hear someone step inside and intuitively know it is Tommasso. I don’t move, holding my breath, listening closely. I hear something sliding across the floor but with all the commotion outside the room, I know they won’t hear it. This man is smart, and he is making the least amount of noise possible. After a few moments, I hear him whispering. “Ladies, where are you? C’mon queen sunshine, don’t let me find another little whore in here? Takara? Are you here? I wouldn’t mind feeling it again.” I hear a whimper and know that he will find her. I step out of the shower. I don’t know where Ms. Jones is but I can’t imagine allowing her or any of the others to get hurt. Not to protect me. “Are you looking for me?” I say softly, so no one else will hear me. “Ciao Bella” His words send a chil
JosephJackson fell through the door, bleeding from his chest. Jay jumped up, unsteady, and fell in front of him. “Jackson? Where is he? Are you okay? Brother look at me.” He was pleading, I know feeling the guilt of his brother laying there bleeding. “He is coming.” Jackson said, spitting out blood as he spoke. I yelled for a medic, who came running with a bag. The guards in front of the women shut the doors, quieting the yells of Sandra. I knew she would be mad, but I had to keep them from seeing her. Jackson squealed as the medic pulled the shirt from his bloody skin. The bullet had torn through his shoulder and collar bone, and he was bleeding badly. The medic looked up at me and shook his head. This meant he didn’t know if he could save him or not. I know if he did, the man would enter the family fully. He risked himself to keep that man away from this house. He risked his life for my Sandra. I know why he did it. I know who he did it for. “Take him to my room. Keep him fucking br
JacksonThis Italian prick has a gun trained on my head. I must keep walking. I must figure out how to take the gun, how I can keep him from killing anyone else. How did he get the gun? Who was stupid enough to allow him to get it? It couldn’t have been Jay. Why would he be so slow? He is the most well-trained man in the brotherhood. It is literally his job to keep this shit from happening. I wouldn’t let him kill Jay, someone from the inner circle, I would have never outlived that. I had to let him take me. Little does this man know, I am the least important person to Smoke out here. I was a ride along. I am not part of this circle, the family they have formed for the home sweet home door mat out here. I want to be. I want to be invited in. Sunshine was my way in. She would have a soft spot for me. I could tell. I would become a brother if nothing more. She is a peace in the chaos I haven’t seen in this crew before. The closest being Hector’s wife. She was more of a mother hen. Tommas
JosephI didn’t want her walking around with that crazy woman hiding somewhere. She was confident though, and I couldn’t question her, not when I had asked her to be my wife. I had to trust her, and that meant trusting her to know how to handle herself. I had brought her into this world, kept her in it. I could have made her leave that day we let her out of the caged room. I did that, not for her, not at first. When the guys saw the bruises on her I knew she was living with a monster. I knew Ryan was a bigger problem than I had originally thought. If she could handle them, surely, she could handle a weak crazy girl. “She is just scared.” Henry said walking around the corner. I looked at him, feeling bad, because I knew he was afraid of what would happen to the girl. I wouldn’t hurt her. Tanya and Mrs. Jones were caring for Zeus in another room. “I know that, Henry. I wouldn’t hurt her.” He nodded and shook my hand. “I know boss.” I heard the girl use a name that always made my skin bre
Sandra I wanted him, despite what he told me. I wanted to feel his hands on me. Here, in this greenhouse, where he made me feel alive before. He grabbed me tightly, gently placing me on the ground. “You sure you don't want me to carry you inside, where it's a bit more comfortable.” I pulled him closer to me, showing him I didnt want to wait a moment more. He ripped at my pants, and I at his. When he entered me, I instantly felt my body involuntarily arch. It was like someone shocked me from the inside, my body was electrified. The shivers in my body become intensely worse with each stroke. He leaned to my kissing me when I was already having trouble keeping my breath. “You are amazing Sandra, So very amazing.” He said huskily into my ear. I moaned out loudly, unable to make real words. He looked me in the eyes and smiled, proud of what he was doing to me. To my body, to my mind. He knew I was completely his. I looked into his eyes as well, feeling as though I had control, and he was
Joseph Once everyone was in the pit, we made it in the middle of the field we had just fought in, Jay doused it with gasoline and lit it on fire. I watched as the smoke roared into the sky. The Italians will know, as will any other guild that attempts to do what Tommasso did. I didnt like letting this darkness out, I didnt plan it this way. When Sandra walked out of that car, the gun was pointed at her. When that man looked at me like he knew the best way to hurt me. When he saw me protect her, he saw my weakness. They all did. That information couldn't leave this field. I wouldn't allow anyone to use her against me. I wouldn't put her in that kind of danger. It had been a long time since I had to do something on this scale. Something to remind these men who Smoke is, and where he came from. That is a darkness I hadn't called on in such a long time. Sure, we had burnt places to cover things up, like the house on the peak. That was mostly to cover our tracks. This was a clear stateme
Sandra I didn’t know what else to do. I pulled up to the meeting spot and saw a gun trained on Joseph. I couldn't let that psycho kill him. I couldn't let him be shot again. I had to intervene. I had to stop him. I slammed on the horn. I didnt think, all I could see was his lips turning blue. Hearing that he had stopped breathing. I couldn't face that again. I couldn't live without him now. Not since he saved me. Not after everything. We were going to make it back to the house in the country together. I jumped out of the car, unprotected, stupidly, running towards the danger. I screamed at the Italian men standing around my family. “Stop, fucking stop!” I ran in front of Joseph, like a human shield. All the men stared at me like they didnt know what to say. All the men on both sides. “Sunshine what are you doing here?” I heard Henry, but I didnt turn, I kept my eyes on the one with the gun. Tommasso looked at me. I was sure he was unsure of what to say to me. He didnt know what to do.
