Teagan POV.I enter the garden, and the families are all mingling, drinking and eating their fill. What they are eating and drinking is safe. It is only the men that work for my father that are eating and drinking what I want them to. A poison that will take effect in a few hours. A slow release. I watch and greet the heads of different families.I watch as men and women enjoy themselves. Even my father is having fun. Do I feel guilty that he will die tonight? I would be lying if I said yes, but part of me isn’t.I think of all the people who have died because of him and his twisted ways, not just family but innocent people, too. They will get their justice.I walk around with Marco and Gianni and I know they are tense with what is going to go down. Marco takes me to a hay bale and I sit down on the blanket. Gianni sits next to me.“Calm down Gianni, loosen up.” I say to him and Marco goes off to do something.“I really am trying. I can’t be in the same space as him without wanting to
Antonio POV.“What the fuck happened?” I ignore the hysteria in Rosena’s voice as I focus on what Anna is doing to Teagan.“Will they be ok?” I ask as I hold her limp hand in mine. I look at Anna when she doesn’t respond quick enough for my liking.“She needs a hospital, Antonio. She has bled, and I need to be able to check them all properly.” She says to me as Rosena keeps screaming, asking what the fuck happened.“What happened is your cunt of a husband was a fucking traitor! So shut the fuck up, Rosena.” I snap at her and I see the tears leave her eyes. I’m too fucking pissed to mollycoddle right now, especially when my tiger and my babies are in danger.“I know that Antonio he tried to kill me. If it wasn’t for her, he would have.” She snaps back, but I ignore her when I turn my head and stare at the person I never thought I would see again, Gianni.“I know what you’re thinking brother, it was best to make you believe I was dead so I could stay by her side. I’m sorry, but I didn’t
Teagan POV.When we finally land, I see a convoy of motorcycles and armoured SUVs. I walk down the steps of the jet, huffing and puffing as I move. Gianni steadies me and I thank him with a smile.The men are all like bears, all rough and ready and cute, so damn fucking cute. Dark jeans, biker boots, and their leather cuts. I’m not ignorant of the MC world. I know the terminology. After all, in Jackson, we had an MC there and went to the clubhouse when they hosted family days.I look at Hatchet and he winks at me as he holds the door open for the SUV as Gianni helps me inside. I start laughing as Gianni pushes me inside.“Hold on, I can get my fat ass in on my own. Stop pushing me, Gianni. You damn oaf.” I say between laughs. When he is ripped away from me and I look into those honey eyes and roll my eyes as I slide inside and Hatchet slams the door and stands by it with his arms folded over his chest, staring Antonio down.I chuckle before I sigh, leaning my head against the headrest
Teagan POV.It has been a week since the plan failed and I am here in the safe clubhouse, still in lockdown. I haven’t spoken to Antonio since the night we had that discussion because that is what it was. It wasn’t an argument. He isn’t worth my time or energy.I sit on the porch looking out around the yard, seeing the men working on their bikes and women milling about. I still need to decide what to do with Rosena.“Here doll, you look like you could use this.” I look up and see one of the women holding out a glass of juice, and I take it from her as she sits next to me. I learnt she was the VP’s old lady, or wife to those that aren’t in this life. The VP is called Renegade and her name is Eva.“Thanks.” I say as I lean back to get comfortable.“How long you got?” she asks and I look at her, eyeing her cautiously.“Not long, why?” I ask her and she looks away. I follow her line of sight and see she is looking at her man and I see Antonio. I scoff internally.“They know you are marrie
Teagan POV.It has been a month since my melt down with Antonio after we shared a beautiful moment with him seeing his kids. I have stayed away from him. I have been focusing on, well, nothing. I don’t want this life.I sit in the room where Rosena is being kept. I have been doing this a lot, just coming to see her but not talk to her. She has spoken to me, but all I can do is think of the happy times with her, my uncle, my mom, and dad. Before everything went to shit and all the lies were exposed. I know I’m not innocent in this game.My head is well and truly messed up. I look at her and even though she is my prisoner, and I had no problem killing her husband. This is different, but in a way, it isn’t.“Teagan, please speak to me. You are not doing ok.” She says softly and I just look at her. Why am I even here? How will this go down?“Please Teagan, you have me worried. What’s wrong sweetie-pie?” I stand up to leave. As I turn around, I stop and sigh looking up at the dark ceiling.
Teagan POV.“Momma, wake up. Momma, it’s time for breakfast.” Little hands of my daughter squish my cheeks as I pretend to be asleep. Today is Saturday, and this is our morning routine.“Angel, leave momma alone. She is really tired.” I fight the smile, listening to Nathaniel, my brave boy. I nearly lost them both when word got out about me leaving. The cartel found me, so I did what I had to in order to keep them safe. I killed the men that came for us.That was when they were both two years old. So we moved in the middle of the night and never looked back. Every so often, we move to stay off the radar of the cartel and the mafia. Marco found us a year ago. I don’t know how, but I sent him away. He promised he would not tell Antonio or anyone where I was.That if I ever needed him, we could go home. That Antonio is worried sick and has been looking for us. He is heartbroken that I left.Last night I was packing for yet another move as word has reached my ear that mobster looking men
Teagan POV.We ditched the car not long after leaving the house and bought a new one. We have spent days on the road. Staying in crappy motels. The kids were still shaken up, but this morning they seem more like themselves.“Momma, are we there yet?” I have been on plenty of road trips with my little devils, so I am used to this question. She has asked me this for what seems like every five minutes.“Nearly baby, maybe another two hours. Do we need a potty break?” I ask as I see the signs for a service station up ahead.“Yup, I need to pee bad and momma I’m hungry.” I smile as I signal to exit and pull over and into the service station.I shut the engine off and look around to make sure we weren’t followed. The coast is clear. I turn in my seat and look at them both.“Right, y’all know the rules. So let me hear them.”“Stay by you, no walking off and no talking to strangers.” I nod my head and smile at them both as they speak in unison.“That’s right, come on. We need to be back on th
Antonio POV.Six years, six fucking years. I have followed leads to find her and our kids. Each time we got close, we were always too late, even as close as three hours. She would run again. The situation with Alejandro has been difficult. The man is a fucking ghost and I want to make that permanent in the very near future.We knew his men had also tracked her down and by the time we got there; we knew she was alive. The bodies in her wake had proven that. She was always a few steps ahead, not staying in one place too long. Marco was gone for two weeks him and Gianni had split up in the search. So did the mercenaries and the MC. They were all looking for her but always came back empty-handed.Marco came back over a year ago and looked conflicted I pressed him for information and he didn’t give anything away, I knew he had seen her hell maybe even spoke to her, but I knew my little tiger she would have sworn him to secrecy.We have been awaiting her arrival for years since the first at
