"Jesus Christ Luca! I get that you wanna be by your sisters side but can you at least take a damn shower!"

My father snaps as I roll my eyes.

Okay. Maybe I haven't showered in a while and I might be starting to stink a bit, but it's not my fault I wanna stay by Jezzabelle's side the whole time she was recovering.

I don't know what type of weird shit that man put into her body but after she passed out at the sex club, she's been asleep for already two weeks now. I knew she had done drugs before after seeing her naked at my condo but after having the club doc examine her blood and her whole body, it seemed as if the drugs that were injected into her before we saved her was the one drug the asshole continued to give her multiple times through out the past 5 years.

Meaning it was going to take longer than the normal time a drug infused person would take to recover.

And ever since we saved her, I've been staying by her side. Not wanting to move a foot away from her without feeling like something was going to happen to her.

She's been having some slight seizures due to the strong dose of drugs she had in her but the rest of the days she's been sleeping soundly.

I didn't want to leave her side so I did as the doc asked me to do while he wasn't in the room or if she needed something and he wasn't around. He told me exactly how to change her IV bags and clean her body that would break out in sweat randomly along with the seizures.

This has been going on for now almost 3 weeks. We still had our runners in the streets trying to find the asshole that did this to her but his sneaky ass was probably hiding somewhere. It was probably a good thing for him that we haven't caught him yet, I would've skinned him alive and burned his body in front of the other four motherfuckers that was always by his side already.

The thought of how I would torture him and every last one of his men made my fingers itch to kill something or most likely someone already.

But for now, my main priority was the woman sleeping on the bed in front of me. She's had her moments with waking up but it was only when she had seizures and broke out in sweat. I've had to hold her down in the bed to calm down from all the thrashing and yelling she was doing. I almost felt bad for the other club members sleeping next door to the room we were in and had to wake up to hear her fearful shouting every night.

"Luca, please go take a shower! Your father and I are here, we'll tell you if she's gonna wake up okay?" My mother says rubbing my arm as I pulled away irritated.

"Don't touch me! I don't give a fuck about you two being here, maybe if you two were better parents, we wouldn't even be here!" I snapped out the words I've been keeping to myself while they were here the whole time.

I knew they wanted to see Jezzabelle get well as much as I did, but after having 3 whole weeks to think about all the information from the masked man himself told me, I finally understood that he must've known my bunny for a while.

He must've known her for so long that as soon as he noticed I was no longer around to protect her 5 years ago, he must've started his plan since then.

I don't know who the masked man must be since I don't remember any man around her at the time to be so close and understand what she was going through without going through me and my brothers.

"How dare you shout at us?! We took you in as one of our own and you put the blame on us?!" My mother shouts back as I rolled my eyes.

"Who else is there to blame?! I protected her more than any of you did! Unlike you two imbecile's, I made sure she was safe from harm. I didn't just throw her a few wads of cash and left her to fend for herself!"

"Safe from harm?! Ha! You expect us to believe a teenage murderer like you could've protected our own daughter while we weren't around? Why do you think we forced you out here in the first place?! Your dumb trouble making ass was to busy fucking up our family image with sex and drugs, that you didn't even realize we made Aiden be in charge of her the whole time we left you four alone. Why do you think she was closer to him than you? Why do you think she ran to him every time your overbearing self was to much for her to handle?! If it wasn't for Aiden protecting her while you weren't around, we would've let you rot in that prison cell for the rest of your miserable life!"

"Then why didn't you?!"

"Did you really think we would've kept you around for so long because we wanted too? Ha! The only reason why we even wasted our breath on keeping you under our roof 5 years ago was to keep your two better and smarter brothers with us. We could've dumped your ass back into that orphanage whenever we wanted too but your brothers begged us over and over to keep you if we wanted them to stay as well"

Took me a second to realize the tears falling on my cheeks now were actually mine.

After hearing the man that raised me for 13 years after being adopted into his luxurious family, finally tell me the real reason why he did that, the waterworks that have been held back deep inside of me were now flooding down my face like heavy waterfalls.

"What the fuck is wrong with you two?!" Uncle Barry's angry voice was now heard from the open door behind my so called parents.

I slumped back into the chair I was seated in for the past 3 weeks, my body felt numb and my tears were to much to stop. The sound of three other people in the room was heard but my mind was to numb to listen.

After spending 13 years of my life trying to do the best I could to make these two people in front of me proud, it was like everything I did for their attention meant nothing in their eyes. What the fuck type of heartless people did I grow up with?

No wonder my sister was now lying in bed with all tons of shit wired onto her body. She had a over protective trio of adoptive brothers that lead her to have only a tiny group of people in her social life, her whole life and adding to the top of that mountain of stress was growing up with two heartless people as parents that barely were around her at all.

"Jesus fuck! Get the fuck out! You guys are making to much fucking noise!" A familiar voice shouts as I look up from my seat to see Jezzabelle sitting up on the bed while rubbing her forehead.

"Jezz-" before my parents could rush over to hug her, she put her hand up to stop them in frustration.

"President Bear, I'd like to have the room without these two in front of me" She says making both her parents and her uncle become stunned at her request.

"Now!" She snaps seeing them still standing there with their jaws dropped.

Uncle Barry quickly nodded afterwards before opening the door to allow Ghost help him to drag the screaming couple out of the room.

"Sweet cheeks" I say noticing her stumbling her way out of the bed.

"Don't! I just need to get this shit out of me" She grunts while gesturing to the catheter tube.

After pulling it out herself, she let out a sigh of relief while sitting back in the bed. For a while, I watched her relax in the bed before letting out a cough that made me quickly get up to place the straw and bottle of water in front of her mouth. She looked back at me with a raised brow before letting me place the straw in her mouth for her to drink.

"I'm sorry" She whispers as soon as I put the water bottle back down on the nightstand by her bed.

"For what?" I ask after reeling in her words.

"I might have been passed out for the past whatever weeks, but I can still hear everything that's happened around me" She answers as my face heated up at her words.

Did she hear me crying for her the first week I stayed beside her? Did she hear me sobbing my eyes out and apologizing to her multiple times after the doctor left us alone these past 3 weeks?

Damn.

That would be embarrassing.

"Don't worry, your secrets safe with me" She says after noticing my nervous silence.

"But what I'm actually sorry for is about what my parents said. I knew they were assholes but I didn't know they were that much of an asshole" She adds on while looking back at me with sadness.

"I mean it's not like I was the best son they could've had. They said it themselves, I was just kept around for the other 2 of your intelligent brothers" I reply with a dry laugh as she looks down at her hands with a frown.

"You may not have been the smartest brother but you did protect me from all the naive shit I didn't know about till after you saved me from it. I mean, you beat the shit out of alot of guys in school that I didn't know at the time just wanted to use me for my virginity. Then you cussed out those girls that picked on me when we were in elementary school. And let's not even mention the tall high school guy you sent to the ER after he pushed me on the monkey bars and broke my arm in the 2nd grade" She explains with a snicker as I laugh at the memory of my short tempered self beating up kids way older than me at the time.

"I may have been an asshole but I did do those things because I wanted to protect you. It may have ended up with me arguing with you for no reason at all afterwards but I have no regrets for lashing out on any one that hurt you" I mutter while moving a strand of her hair away from her face as she nods.

"I hated you a lot growing up. I guess at the time I just thought you were some crazy caveman that was a hypocrite. I mean you were but I guess it makes sense after hearing how harsh my parents were on you" She says grabbing my hand that was still holding her hair.

Our eyes stayed glued to each other in some sort of weird tension that we both didn't understand until someone brought us out of it in an instant.

"Jezzabelle!" A loud voice shouts before the door to the room was slammed open.

"Darius!" She gasps excitedly seeing her nerdy friend run into the room with no crutch.

"You can run now?" She asks with a shocked look as he smiles while nodding at her question.

"He can also do many other things but the doc said it might be to inappropriate for him to do them" Another voice says walking into the room as my eyes widened at the blonde girl walking in now who I remembered was Ghost's niece.

I don't remember exactly meeting her since she barely came around, and when she did her scary uncle threatened all of the biker members in the club to stay away from her unless we wanted to make her an old lady. I never wanted an old lady at the time plus my eyes were always set on someone else being my old lady.

"I'm sorry, who's that?" Jezzabelle asks suspiciously looking back at Daisy who was now looking back at her with the same look.

"Jezzabelle, this is my-" before Darius could finish his sentence, Daisy interrupted him with a smirk.

"I'm his old lady. And you must be the best friend right? Heard a lot about you through my man" Daisy answers swiftly while twirling her blonde hair in her hand feigning innocence.

Turning back to Jezzabelle, I watched as the gears in her head was beginning to turn when she looked at her nerdy friend and saw how red his face turned.

"I'm knocked out for a few weeks and you already got deflowered without telling me?!" She gasps while shoving Darius playfully making him laugh.

"You could've woken my ass up and tell me the night before you're gonna do it so I can get you a not a virgin anymore cake" She groans making Daisy's eyes light up in a flash.

"You can still do that. As much as I'd love to deflower your bestfriend over here, he hasn't been giving into my sexual advances lately" Daisy says walking up to Jezzabelle as her eyes widened in shock.

"You have a hot blondie over here trying to have sex with you and you've been turning her down? Did you lie to me when I asked you last time about your sexual preference? I told you, I don't judge which ever way you go" Jezzabelle rambles on while grilling Darius as his red face turned brighter by the second.

"It's not that I don't want too, I just.." his eyes went to me and Daisy then he moved closer to Jezzabelle to whisper something to her.

Me and Daisy stared back at the duo confused while they nodded at each other in some type of silent agreement after whispering to each other.

"Jezzabelle!" Two more voices from the outside of the room was heard making me roll my eyes.

I knew who the voices belonged to and when they both rushed inside the room, my eyes went to the fully woken woman who was now staring back at her two older adopted brothers.

She had been close to all of us for 13 years, but after I left home and it was just the 3 of them, I didn't know exactly how their relationship was like now.

"I'll give you guys some much needed time alone" Darius pipes up before dragging Daisy out along with him.

"Are you guys gonna stand there all day?" Jezzabelle questions while looking back her two older brothers with a raised brow.

That was all it took for them to continue their running towards her in a hurry excitedly.

"Damn, can I breathe at least" She mutters after they both jumped to hug her tightly at the same time.

"Sorry" They replied in unison while pulling away to sit in front of her on the large bed.

"Are you okay?" Aiden asks while running his hand through her hair softly.

"Yeah, I'm alive aren't I?" She replies sarcastically with a snicker.

"You scared the shit out of us! I'm happy that you're alive though" Owen suddenly blurts out as she smiles sadly at the sorrowful look on his face.

"I didn't mean to scare you guys. I know you guys always think it's your responsibility to help me, but sometimes I have to go through some rough shit on my own. Im a big girl now" She explains while patting both their hands as we all stared back as if she was speaking a different language.

"You're always gonna be my baby sister. I can't just stop worrying and being protective over you out of no where" Aiden retorts with a stern look that made her roll her eyes.

"And what is up with your job choices? Stripper by day and sex club worker by night? What the hell did we miss out on?" Owen adds on as she glared back at them in an instant.

"What Aiden and Owen are trying to say is, we've seen what this masked asshole guy has done and we've learned what he's been doing to you for the past 5 years. What we don't understand is how all of this started and how all of this happened to you and yet you still decided to not tell us anything and let yourself work with these psychotic asshole?!" I express out loud after feeling all the emotions I was keeping inside begin to come out.

At my sudden outburst, Jezzabelle's face went pale and she avoided eye contact from all 3 of us.

"Bunny, tell us what happened to you. Why do you let this man do this crazy shit to you? Tell us how we can catch him and put him six foot under" Owen says with a worried sigh while caressing her hand, which made her frown with a sad expression.

That's when I remembered she always had a soft spot for Owen between the three of us. I mean yeah I was always around her since we were kids and Aiden was always the big brother she ran to in need of any type of help, but Owen was the only brother that she got along with personality wise. They were like actual siblings when they were together. He made her laugh the most and he was always the one brother she used to go to when she was hiding something behind our backs.

"I can't tell you guys anything" She mutters below her breath as I was so close to throwing another anger tantrum because of her stubbornness.

"The only thing I can tell you is that the man who's done all this stuff to me isn't an easy person to take down. I've tried to get away from him many times before and it only ends up with me being in a worse condition than before" She explains before putting her head in her hands with a groan.

"Lawrence Bennett!" The loud sound of Uncle Barry's voice suddenly came in after he rushed into the room with a piece of paper in his hand.

"This is the motherfucker right?!" He shouts with such anger that I've never seen him have inside himself.

"Look at the picture!" He shouts angrily while pulling the bedsheets away from Jezzabelle.

"Uncle Barry what the fuck?!" Owen snaps after noticing the scared look on our sisters face.

"This is the motherfucker that you signed your life to, right?" He asks slowly leaning down to Jezzabelle's face as she took one look at the paper he was holding and nodded.

"Let's go!" He shouts walking out of the room as I realized Ghost and Iron were already suited up and ready to go.

What the heck? Did they already know where the guy was at?
