The Biker's Dark Secret Chapter Seventeen, A Surprise Reception
Xavier’s Point of ViewThe temptation to be near her was overwhelming. Merely stalking and watching from a distance would no longer be sufficient. Not after I had tasted and been inside of Rei Draven and held her close to me.It was a good thing her daughter had called. As Rei left the room to change, I couldn’t help by think about the longing in her eyes. It mirrored my desire and need to pursue this connection further. I had yeared for Rei for so long, and now that I had her, I couldn’t bear the thought of letting her slip away.I hesitated momentarily before agreeing to have a coffee with Rei in her home. I was motivated by my genuine concern for this captivating woman, who seemed delicate but possessed an inner strength that few could match. Rei was like a blend of fire and sunlight, rising from the shadows like a phoenix. There was no turning back from this decision. At the very least, I would continue to be a presence in her life as a friend.I was amazed by how quickly she mast

Grace’s Point of View“What do you mean Rei stayed over at Xavier’s?” Lillianna shrieked.As I failed to move the phone away from my ear in time, everything seemed slightly muffled afterward. I repeatedly asked Lillianna to repeat what she said, but it only seemed to agitate her more. It's not my fault that she most likely caused me temporary hearing loss. I could have switched ears, but I didn't trust her not to scream at me again."I can sense that you might need some time to process everything. Why don't you give me a call when you're ready?" I said softly before gently ending the call.The ringing in my ear was relentless, causing me immense pain. I let out a deep sigh as I tried to process the situation, gently rubbing my ear in hopes of finding some relief. Lillianna had claimed to be Xavier's closest friend. However, I couldn't help but wonder if she was concealing something from me.Lillianna had been very upset that Rei intended to mess around with Xavier at the club. She had

Xavier’s Point of ViewI never anticipated this level of gratitude, stemming from the memories of a little girl from years past. It was truly overwhelming to realize the impact I had made. Holding back tears, I was moved by the moment. As I stood there, her mother's sly smile, which reminded me of the wonderful evening we had spent together, left me utterly speechless. It was truly incredible. I found myself completely at a loss for words and felt my face flush with embarrassment. Rei seemed unaware of the effect she had on me.As I felt the awkward tension lingering, I quietly mumbled, "I should probably go." I knew it would be best to leave before the situation escalated.Shiloh smiled warmly and gave me a small wave. "It was nice to see you again," she said as I nodded and made my way out of the kitchen.Rei walked me to the door to bid me farewell. As we reached the threshold, I silently reminded myself not to overstay my welcome. If we were to pursue a friendship, I needed to tre

Grace’s Point of ViewAs I drove up to park on the side of the road, I was astounded by what I saw. Xavier noticed me, and I could tell because he left quickly. Lillianna was going to be furious. Clearly, Xavier was just as enamored with Rei as she was with him. Rei’s plans for an adventurous, risky, one-night-only public intimate encounter might not come to fruition after all - it looks like my friend has developed a serious infatuation. I can only hope that Xavier Woods won't break her heart... for his own sake.As I stepped out of my vehicle and approached the house, I let out a sharp whistle, and cat called out to my friend. Rei looked around in surprise but soon burst into laughter, realizing it was me."Hey, look at you coming home in last night's clothes! Your parents are going to have something to say about that," I teased in a friendly tone.Rei's expression turned somber as she chewed on her lip, lost in deep thought. The question had struck a chord, even though it had been

Unknown Point of ViewI felt uneasy about making the call. I disliked feeling indebted to others, especially in my line of work. But my loyalty to her was the only reason I even considered it. I couldn't bear letting history repeat itself and seeing Rei suffer the consequences. I owe it to her and the kids to make things right.I relished the rich, bold flavors of the last sip of rye whiskey in my glass before quickly pouring another. It struck me how much I had sacrificed to ensure her safety. I should have intervened when Rei became involved with Greg Ravenscroft, but I had hoped to foster her independence and self-assurance. The only silver linings from that situation were Shiloh, Onyx, and Salem.When Greg decided to end his relationship with Rei, it became necessary to sever ties with everyone involved. The aftermath was challenging to untangle, but it had to be done. I had been a silent guardian for Rei since she turned 18, keeping a promise to her real father. Xavier had feelin

Xavier’s Point of ViewRacing home in pure exhilaration, I was amazed I didn't get stopped by the police. My heart was pounding, not out of fear but sheer joy. This morning, I tried to convince myself that having her as a friend would be enough, but that idea was quickly dismissed. The way Rei nestled perfectly in my embrace, her petite, curvy form felt like paradise.I might have let things escalate if I hadn’t seen Grace watching us from her car. When I handed Rei back her phone, I caught all three kids gazing at us from inside the house. Onyx and Salem beamed at me, giving enthusiastic thumbs-ups, while Shiloh smiled as she watched us. It unexpectedly warmed my heart to see that her children appeared to be accepting of their mother kissing me.I knew I’d made a difference when I helped her years ago—of course, I knew! I’d been stalking her for years, but I was unaware of the true extent of my influence. The sight of Shiloh's drawing displayed on their living room wall struck me. Th

Rei’s Point of View“Oh, okay. Um, thanks for letting me know. Yeah, I’m okay. No, really, I am. Grace is here, Sam. Here, ask her,” I said, thrusting my phone at Grace before I got up and started to pace.I hadn’t asked for his number. He cared enough to contact his friends and ask that they let me know. That should matter, right?Why was I so worked up over this? He wasn’t my boyfriend. We had coffee. I kissed him. I fucked him the night before too, but that was supposed to be a spontaneous never to be repeated event. It was supposed to be. It wasn’t anymore, though. Somehow, I caught feelings for Xavier Woods in the last 24 hours. Fuck.“Yeah, no, she’s not. Rei is definitely spiralling. I’ll stay with her, don’t worry. I’ll order some pizza, we’ll watch some age appropriate comedy with the kids and then something more our speed when they go to bed. Don’t worry, Sam, I’ve got this. Have fun on your date. Tap that ass, baby,” Grace laughed as she hung up the phone.Then she set my p

Aamon’s Point of ViewMy informant let me know that Grace was with Rei and the kids. They were going to stay in, order pizza and hang out. What was meant to be just a job became a friendship for Grace. She really cared about Rei. But that’s how my ex-girlfriend was: a big heart and a don’t mess with me and mine attitude. I’d never gotten over her, and I knew I never would. Grace was the first and last girl I would ever love.After Grace left, I felt like a part of me went with her. But I don't hold it against her; she had every right to leave. I knew that meeting up with Lillianna would make her want to run away from our relationship. They had planned to have coffee together and say goodbye, but fate intervened when Lillianna didn't show up, and Rei needed help. Grace stayed behind to assist Rei in picking up the broken pieces of her life, something I couldn't do for her.It was the right decision for Grace to leave this life behind, and I don't regret protecting Rei from it.

The Biker's Dark Secret Epilogue: Riding the Edge of Change
Rei's Point of ViewI yearned for the freedom and exhilaration of riding on the back of Xavier's motorcycle, but ever since we found out about my pregnancy, he insisted on taking the car whenever we went out together. While I understood his concern for my safety and that of our unborn child, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss for the rush of wind in my hair and feeling like I was flying with him. This baby was a surprise blessing for us, one we both cherished deeply, yet I couldn't shake off the lingering longing for our carefree rides on his bike.Shiloh had kindly offered to take care of Onyx and Salem while Xavier took me out for a date. Life had been hectic with moving into a new house and the kids starting at a new school. Though we didn't live in our small hometown anymore, we were still close by. It was a chance to start fresh, something we all needed. The kids had finally found their place and made friends who often hung out at our house, enjoying bonfires and stargazing
The Biker's Dark Secret Chapter 104: Beyond the Shadows
Rei’s Point of ViewTwo weeks passed by in the blink of an eye. It was strange adapting to our new normal. The kids were pulled from school so that we could have a proper funeral for my grandfather and we could find new living arrangements. Saying farewell to a man who played such an influential role in my life yet remained unknown until his last moments was an incredibly surreal experience.As the casket was closed, Shiloh and Onyx remained silent as they said their final goodbyes. I couldn't help but notice Xavier, Aamon, and Salem standing together. Both men reached for one of Salem's hands, causing him to straighten his back and take a deep breath. It was almost as if he acknowledged someone or something only he could see. I tried to look in the same direction but saw nothing. However, recent events have taught me not to discount the possibility of there being something more beyond our physical world.Since our last moments together, I hadn't sensed X's presence. However, not long
The Biker's Dark Secret Chapter 103: Navigating New Worlds
Rei’s Point of ViewMy choice. This time, it would be my choice. The words echoed in my mind as I stared at my three sleeping children. I couldn’t recall a time except when Xavier came into my life when I was truly given a choice—when the decision was entirely my own.“You have a lot to think about. Why don’t I give you some space to do that?” my brother said as he patted my head and walked out of the room.My brother. I have a brother who is dating my best friend. I’m still trying to wrap my head around that. Wait, Aamon just patted my head as he walked out, much like Onyx would do to Salem. I smiled to myself at the thought.Honestly, I had no desire to return to the house. It held too many painful memories of my grandfather's death and Lillianna's betrayal. Every room felt haunted by the life I once shared with Greg. Starting fresh in a new place with Xavier and the children sounded like the best option.However, relocating my children from their current school and leaving behind th
The Biker's Dark Secret Chapter One Hundred and Two: Future Plans and Family Decisions
Aamon’s Point of ViewAs Xavier left the room, the office fell into a heavy silence. Rei's nervous eyes darted around, taking in each of our faces."Chloe, were you paid to be my friend?" she asked hesitantly.All eyes turned to me, and I let out a sigh."I hired Chloe to protect you and Grace to become your friend. But Chloe, Grace, and Iris genuinely care about you, Rei. It may have started as a job for them, but their feelings for you are real," I explained."Ladies, Rei and I haven't had a chance to talk alone as siblings yet. Could you give us some privacy for a few minutes? Maybe check on Xavier and contact Sam to make sure she's okay. With our new circumstances, it would be best if Alex, Tom, and Matt knew what we were dealing with. If we're going to change how we operate, we'll need the support and understanding of our loved ones," I suggested.Grace squeezed my hand in support and kissed my cheek softly."I can stay if you need me to," she whispered discreetly.I smiled at her
The Biker's Dark Secret Chapter One Hundred and One: Wise Words and Whispers of Intrigue
Xavier’s Point of ViewOn my way back to the office, I passed by the kids playing in the game room. Salem noticed me and studied me intensely as if he was trying to figure something out. His face showed his frustration, and I couldn't help but wonder what was going on. Then, he looked past me and gave me a disapproving look. I turned around, expecting to see something or someone that had caused Salem's reaction, but there was nothing there. Just as I was about to continue on my way, Salem spoke up and caught my attention.Salem looked at me seriously and asked, "Can I talk to you, Xavier?""Absolutely," I replied. I noticed him looking over my shoulder and then sticking his tongue out. It was strange behaviour, but considering all that Salem had been through recently, it could have been his way of coping. At least he felt comfortable enough to come to me when he needed to talk."Can we go to your room to talk? Unless you and Mom didn't clean up, and it's too messy in there," Salem aske
The Biker's Dark Secret Chapter One Hundred: Begin Again
Grace’s Point of ViewAs I opened my eyes, I realized that the bed was empty. Aamon was not there, and I could feel the coldness of the sheets where he had been laying. He must have left a while ago. I sat up quickly, pulling the sheets closer to my body for warmth. I let out a sigh, hoping that everything was alright. This was something that I needed to get used to once again, especially now that Aamon was in charge of the organization.As I dressed, I realized Rei had no clothes to change into. I rummaged through the bag of unpacked clothing and found a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, underwear, and a bra that would fit her. This would suffice for now; we could find a more permanent solution for Rei and Xavier's clothing later. Xavier had left everything behind at his apartment to get Rei to the hospital on time, so he also needed some clothes. Fortunately, I found a T-shirt and a pair of grey sweatpants that should fit him well enough. Aamon and Xavier had similar builds, which worked out
The Biker's Dark Secret Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Love That Lingers
Shiloh’s Point of ViewI rolled my eyes as Salem ranted about Mr. Shiny Light Pants being a real person and how we were too clueless to see him. Eventually, he quieted down and started playing the game with Onyx. I couldn't help but reflect on how Salem had always believed that someone was watching over us, even when we were younger. Maybe he was right all along. With everything going on and our world turned upside down, I had to admit that anything was possible now.I leaned back in my seat and let out a deep sigh. Onyx glanced at me with concern, but I shook my head slightly and silently mouthed, "I'm okay, just exhausted." He nodded in understanding and mouthed back, "Me too." Strangely, this experience had brought my brothers and me closer than ever before. I had a feeling we would need each other even more as we adapted to our new lives and identities.Would we end up at the same school? Would people talk about us? It was obvious Mom was going to marry Xavier. His love for her was
The Biker's Dark Secret Chapter Ninety-Eight: Heart's Dilemma/ Merging for Connection
X’s Point of ViewJust as I had done with Kaz, I guided Lillianna toward the light. It was effortless with Kaz; I respected the Don and enjoyed his company. However, I couldn't stand Lillianna. Yet, there was a glimmer of something in her that I couldn't ignore. After she crossed over to the light completely, I turned to leave."You're not coming with me, are you?" she asked."No," I replied."Will we ever meet again?" Lillianna's voice trembled with emotion."Not if I have any say in it," I responded sharply.“I loved him, you know. In my own way, I loved Xavier. And maybe, just maybe, he could have loved me back,” Lillianna revealed.“But you knew his heart was devoted to someone else, yet you persisted in your pursuit of him. He was never yours to claim. While Xavier may have shared his body with you, his heart always belonged to Rei. And it always will,” I retorted.“You love Rei. I can't quite comprehend who or what you are, but I recognize that feeling of loving someone you can n
The Biker's Dark Secret Chapter Ninety-Seven: Home We'll Go
Lillianna’s Point of ViewThe audacity of Aamon was unfathomable. Without a second thought, he had given my hard-earned jobs to Chloe, someone who had no business taking them from me. My head spun with fury, drowning out any sounds around me until Iris appeared, her cold voice cutting through the chaos. Before I could react, a searing pain ripped through my abdomen as her bullet tore into me. I felt my insides lurch and knew she had hit vital organs. The shock was almost too much to bear as I gasped for air, realizing this was how I imagined my end. A scream rose in my throat, but was stifled by the shock and agony coursing through my body. All I could do was curse fate for this cruel and undeserved death as I bled out on the floor in front of the bathroom. Rage turned to despair as my last thoughts faded into darkness.Chloe’s Point of ViewI couldn't believe what I had just witnessed. Iris had made a grand entrance and delivered a deadly blow with precision and finality. As I stood t
