"It's been 6 weeks since you threatened him with you leaving, and yet you're still here?" Darius snorts before I punched his shoulder.

"As much as I would love to do that, I still can't leave this hell hole without knowing for sure that the asshole downstairs is fully dead" I reply as Darius smile turns into a sad frown.

"I can't believe Luca and your uncle hasn't killed him yet. If I was your uncle, I would've killed the man a long time ago" Darius sighs as I finish drinking the beer bottle Sharon gave me earlier.

"They wanna torture the guy for as long as they can. I can't disagree with that" I reply before getting up from our booth to see where Avery was at.

Walking to the backyard of the biker clubhouse, I spot a sight that's becoming a daily thing around here. Ever since Avery met Luca, as much as I disliked it, they had an unknown connection.

It was as if she finally had a person that understood what it was like to be a child with no parents at such a young age. It didn't surprise me that Luca never thought of my parents as his own, I mean I barely thought of them as my own as well. They were gone most of our lives so it only made sense that Avery had something in common with Luca that made their relationship blossom into a beautiful friendship.

When I had joined the disgusting sex business with the only intention to take care of this innocent red headed baby, I spent some time with her so much that she thought I was her mother until she began to talk. I explained to her that I was her mothers best friend and that's how we grew an odd aunt and niece relationship.

Avery reminded me so much of Ava. She had her long dark red hair, the same speckles of freckles around her nose, and even the bright green eyes every time she looked up at me with reminded me of the same ones that used to look back at me in school.

Her mother was everything to me as the only female that stood by my side when I had no one as a child, that was why I did what I did to protect the only gift I had left of my best friend. Pictures, videos and some visits to the secret place they kept her in, I didn't care. As long as I had evidence of her still being alive, I let those disgusting bastard do whatever they wanted to me.

I couldn't leave an innocent child like her to the likes of those horrid men, they would've had her take my place in their sex cult if I hadn't showed up and practically begged them to take my body instead of hers. It was probably best that her slimy grandfather had a liking towards me and snatched me up the minute I cried on his doorsteps for the baby he took.

It was probably crazy for me to run to his house for that even after he took my virginity, I still ran to him with my blood still dripping down down my sweat pants. But for the sake of Ava's baby, I would've given up anything for her to stay alive.

I didn't know asking for the life of an innocent baby would end up with me becoming a sex worker but I guess with the ending of all that, I wouldn't change it at all for the world. I may have ended up becoming a heartless bitch that slept with a lot of men but I still had the good times of meeting an innocent man that liked to take care of me and became my trusted best friend. Not only that, but I also had the blessing of taking care of a beautiful child that was left in this world by my female best friend who sadly didn't get the chance to meet her.

"Jezzabelle! Come!" Avery shouts, taking me out of my thoughts.

Luca sitting and eating together with Avery in the backyard of this place wasn't surprising, but Luca sipping tea out of a child's toy teacup with her was what shocked me when I walked towards them seeing Avery jumping excitedly.

"Uncle Jax and Ben got us these. Your boyfriend said it reminds him of you" Avery laughs while taking out 3 bags of pink cotton candy.

"You gotta be shitting me" I groan as Luca snickers before pulling me into his lap.

I still was against the whole old lady thing Luca and the rest of the club was so dedicated on making me to take as Luca's old lady, but there were still my down bad moments where I couldn't deny Luca's addicting touch that made me weak in the knees. It was probably due to me not sleeping around anymore since the sex job I had before was out of business now due to the owners being locked up and imprisoned in this club. But it wasn't like I was gonna deny the caring ways and shows of affection Luca's been giving me 24/7 now a days.

"You know you love it, sweet cheeks. It's a symbol of the day I got to meet my old lady and the love of my life" Luca whispers before kissing my cheek as I felt my face turn red at the sudden PDA.

"You guys are so cute! I wish that I look as hot as you do when I grow up, Jezzabelle. And when I do become really hot, I wanna have a hot boyfriend like you Luca" Avery rambles on while staring up at us with awe.

Me and Luca never labeled or even worked out what type of relationship we had but it seemed as if this little red ball of sunshine was dead set on calling us boyfriend and girlfriend. Even after I explained to her that Luca was joking around when he calls me his girl, but she continued telling everyone that I was his.

"Who said anything about you having a boyfriend?" Luca quipped up taking in Avery's words as she grins.

"When I get older, I'm gonna get a hot boyfriend that looks like you" She retorts with a wink as I cringe at the thought of two Luca's.

"Sweetie, trust me. When you get older, get someone like uncle Darius, at least there'll be less headaches while you two are together" I say opening the bag of cotton candy in my hands.

"Is that why you were with him for so long? Because he gives you less headaches than I did?" Luca asks as I snort.

"Not just that, he also didn't leave me for 5 years" I answer back before getting up to walk back into the house.

That was totally uncalled for, but it's not like I was going to take another minute of Luca disregarding my relationship I had with Darius any longer. He knew exactly how much I trusted and cared for Darius and yet he always had something smart to say about our relationship. Jealous asshole just didn't like the fact that I had a close relationship with any other man than himself.

"Sweet cheeks, you're still angry about that?" Luca asks as soon as I got inside Darius old room they gave me since Darius was living with his old lady now.

"No! I'm just in a bitchy mood right now!" I snap back feeling my emotions going crazy everywhere in my body.

"Not to be rude babe, but your emotions have been all over the place this whole week. Are you on your time of the month or something? I can get some chocolate-"

"So what?! Women being moody must mean they're on their periods now?! You misogynist asshole!"

"Sweet cheeks calm down"

"Don't tell me to calm down!"

Before our sudden argument could continue, the door to the room we were in was slammed open and at the doorway was none other than Darius to save the day once again.

"Jezzabelle, a word?" He says gesturing me to follow him outside of the room as I rolled my eyes before complying.

I thought he wanted us to talk in the hallway but he descended downstairs towards the kitchen area of the club. I wanted to stop following his long legged ass a while ago since he was walking to fast but the smell of delicious food made me continue like a hungry child.

"Jezzabelle! You wanna try this new recipe I made?" Sharon asks as soon as I walked through the swinging kitchen doors.

Although Sharon liked to work in front of the bar with her old man, she insisted on helping out the other old ladies in the kitchen cooking for the men in the club. If you ask me, I would never cook for any man as if I was a housewife to a male stuck in the 80's. Not that I didn't approve of Sharon doing it since she loved to cook for her scary looking husband.

I just couldn't cook as well as other women and that was probably why I was so grumpy when all the old ladies in the club hounded me constantly about learning to cook for Luca. As if! I wouldn't cook for that asshole even if I had a gun to my head.

"Damn! You're the best chef I know, no offense Darius" I exclaim before patting Darius arm as he chuckles.

Sharon was an older biker wife with tattoos all over her tall curvy body but damn can this woman cook like she can work in a 5 star restaurant. I've been to expensive restaurants before, unwillingly by Luca's unknown father locked up downstairs, but the foods they served at those boujee restaurants were always the best meal I'd ever have considering I was used to eating only fast food restaurants anyways.

"Thank you sweetie. Darius, what are you doing in here? You know us women like to keep this a females only zone. We don't want you coming in here to hear all our gossip about our sex lives and men now, do you?" She gasps after noticing Darius awkwardly standing beside me.

"No ma'am, I would never wanna be in you lovely ladies business. I'm just here to drop off Jezzabelle here for Daisy who said to strictly bring her down here to the kitchen area" He replies quickly defending himself before rushing out like a scared puppy.

"As much as I love him and Daisy's relationship, what you two share in your so called just best friends relationship is so adorable. I've never seen any other living man walk right into this club and defend his best friend in front of a bikers club President" She sighs in awe as the memory of that day flashed in my mind.

I do admit that the only reason why I defended Bear's newly alive ex wife was because she found out about the sex business I was in after we found out about each other during the first year I joined. But was I all for her kids that were supposedly my blood related siblings to just waltz up in here and act like they owned the place? Hell no.

With the small moments of me meeting Ben, President Bear's son with his recently deceased wife Brenda, I was honestly fine with having him as my cousin. I held no ill will against Ben, his mother made Bear's dead heart rise again after he lost his wife and children. Ben was a sweet guy and the only reason why he's been so angry lately was because of his half siblings coming back into the picture.

I'm all for the whole family reunion, but if you're gonna act like you own shit just because your father and dead mother were reunited again, then that was what pissed me off four weeks ago.

Sean and Sasha were Bear's kids from his ex wife Sarah. I've never met them before, even when I did find out about their mothers whereabouts during my time in the business. But when they decided to constantly tease and make fun of Ben for being pushed to the side by their father as soon as they came into the picture, all I saw was red.

I was used to being pushed to the side and made fun of by kids at school when I was younger, so when I saw Ben's sadden expression, I did what I normally did when I was angry. I lashed out.

It didn't take long for the stupid President and his old but sort of new old lady to burst out of his office with their clothes still distangle from their disgusting love quarrel he's been having a lot recently.

Instantly seeing both of his kids on the ground of his club house bruised and beaten, he cursed me out and tried to do some weird club punishment on me until Darius came flying to my rescue for the thousandth time.

Honestly I wasn't shocked to see Darius defend me but I was shocked to see him actually succeed considering Bear looked like he wanted to murder both me and Darius on the spot. Not only was everyone shocked to see Darius being the only one who convinced Bear to leave me alone but even Luca couldn't believe what was in front of his eyes.

It was as if the large president that owned this club finally submitted to a person who wasn't even considered a member of this club. Presidents of biker clubs were known for being malicious and never being moved by any person beside their old lady. Bear on the other hand took one look at Darius determined face to defend me and instantly shut down his ego.

When Darius asked me what I was going to do about the truth of me and Bear being my actual father, I immediately told him I couldn't give a shit about that. Father or not, I hated that man since the beginning of when he blackmailed me with Darius, and I was going to continue hating him till the day I died. He could try his best at trying to resolve our relationship but the mistrust and anger I held against him was always going to be there whether he liked it or not.

It was amusing watching him sneak flowers and little stuffed animals in front of my room while I was sleeping but I always gave them to Avery and threw away the little cards he'd leave for me with the gifts. It was annoying enough to avoid him in this place when he would try to ask me to go out somewhere with him for a talk and I shut him down every single time.

My fake parents that only raised me with their money were also a pain in my ass. I didn't want to explain to them that I never saw them as my own parents since the start. They may have paid for a roof over my head and kept me fed but other than that they meant nothing to me.

And after hearing how they talked to Luca the other day while I was in my little drug coma, their words just made me dispose them more than I did with Bear. At least Bear took care of Luca and was there for him, my scheming parents had only used Luca to keep Owen and Aidan and that was what made me block them out of my life permanently.

I was fine with Aidan and Owen considering they were my older brothers that I grew up being annoyed by but also loved by in their own strange big protective loving brothers way.

"Jezzabelle! Get your sexy ass over here!" Daisy shouts making me turn towards the back door of the kitchen.

I spot the petite blondie that has Darius wrapped around her finger, waving at me to go to where she and some other old lady's I've seen around the club but had not really gotten to know standing by the open door.

The only old lady I actually got along with in here was Sharon since her daughter had grown close to me over the time that I've spent here. Daisy had gotten close to me as well since Darius didn't want there to be a wedge between his best friend and his girlfriend or what the other bikers like to call her, his old lady.

I understood why Daisy hadn't liked me at first when she started dating Darius, since most people thought our relationship was more than friendship. But I had to explain to her that Darius meant nothing more to me than a male that I sharing nothing more than a platonic best friend relationship with. She revealed to me that the only reason why she despised me so much was because of the way Darius treated me compared to her, which I completely understood.

Darius was a very shy and standoffish man to literally everyone in this world, but when it came to me he was completely fine with sharing his feelings, thoughts, delicious cooking, medical advices, clothes, and even intimate times with. I mean we literally lived together for 5 years, grew close, relied on only each other and were extremely protective over one another because of the long times that we shared over the years.

But I had never seen Darius as more than a very close companion. Sure there were times where I'd tease him with my sexual advances but we both knew it was usually when I was to drunk to realize what I was saying or when I was just bored and wanted to get him riled up. We understood one another in a weird soul mates best friend type of way, but the thought of both of us together made us both cringe and be disgusted.

When I scolded Darius on not being more affectionate to Daisy and to stop treating me like he normally did, he acted like a sad puppy that had been kicked. I never thought the nerdy guy I grew a close bond with would feel sad about me telling him to keep a distance with me but as long as it made his bubbly blonde girlfriend happy then I was fine with it. Even though we had grown to be each other's reliable partner, there was always going to be a day where we had to stop doing that and rely on someone else.

Which was exactly why I made sure to keep my distance from Darius to let him know it was time for him to stop running to me every time he wanted an escape or had something he wanted to share. I couldn't be the shoulder he needed to lean on and be the person he trusted most since his girlfriend was the one who should be doing all that. I wasn't one to get in the way of another persons relationship, so Daisy being his support system now was the best option he could get if he wanted to stay being best friends with me.

"Did Sharon tell you?" Daisy asks as soon as I stood in front of her and the whispering women around her.

"Tell me what? About the delicious food she just made?" I joke around not knowing what was all the whispering and giggling about.

"Tonight your uncle will be taking his new family out for dinner somewhere and since he told my uncle that it was going to be a long night that he planned to spend with them, Sharon and the rest of us old lady's have decided to throw a party tonight while he's away" She explains as the other women cheered excitedly.

"You guys are throwing a party, in this bar club?" I say not understanding what's the whole big deal if this club was usually filled with a bunch of people during their open times at night anyways.

"When I say party, I mean this club is gonna be filled with hot sexy biker men from different clubs and more alcohol refilling around us till we drop. Sharon had already set up the timing for when the rest of the guys still here will be setting up decorations, and I already called the other club presidents coming tonight to let them know what time exactly that our president will be out of here" Daisy explains as I was still trying to figure out how that was any different from the other regular nights of this club.

"Look, Prez is fine with letting this club be open at night time since that's what this place was made for anyways but he never lets us have parties unless it's on his terms. Which usually just ends up with us having a few beers and partying amongst ourselves. We barely had an actual party where we could let loose and have fun with more people around and actually do reckless shit in this club without getting scolded by our own Prez. Just say you're as excited to party tonight as we are!" Daisy finished off while grabbing my hands to jump around excitedly.

I laughed at her excitement before letting her drag me to a random room upstairs that I didn't know who it belonged to until she opened the door and the familiar scent of her perfume plus the odd decorations in the room were a complete replica of herself. Even though Daisy dressed like any regular girl I've worked with before at strip clubs, which were usually chicks that dressed in sexy outfits and were confident in showing their skin. The decorations in this room were like a bunch of bright colors that screamed bubbly and cute just like her personality. Compared to the room I had upstairs, her room was the complete opposite of how dark and gloomy my room was.

"You have a room here?"

"Just because I have my own apartment doesn't mean I still don't come around here 24/7 to hang out with my uncle"
