19

As I was driving down the freeway, I started thinking about what Connor said; he was right, it was too dangerous to go back with the girls. I pulled off at the next exit to a gas station, I pulled up to a pump and grabbed my phone from my duffle bag. I called Amelia

"Hey is anyone around you right now?"

She asked in concern

"No what's going on? Why did you leave?"

I cleared my throat

"Never mind that, I need you to meet at the gas station off highway 65 as soon as you can. Make sure no one follows you."

She said

"Kayla Isabella Andrews you need to think about this, let him help you. He is still your husband and you need to put your hatred aside for those girl's safety."

I sighed

"Why are you so bossy?"

She laughed

"You love me, now get your butt back here and talk to him about the girls."

I sighed and looked in the backseat

"Okay I'll be back in a few minutes and never use my middle name again."

She laughed

"It's your mom's name, think of it as a gift and not a curse."

A black SUV pulled up at the gas pump in front of our SUV

"You told Connor I left didn't you?"

She sounded confused

"No why?"

I looked up at them

"Send someone, they're approaching the car."

I hung up before she could say anything; I got out of the car

"Can I help you guys?"

They walked up in black ski masks

"Kayla?"

I crossed my arms

"Who's asking?"

The one who spoke looked at the other one

"It's her."

I smirked and laughed

"Touch me and you will live to regret it."

They grabbed my arms quickly and tried to pull me to the car. I kicked one of them off their feet onto their face and punched the other in the gut with my free hand. I whispered under my breath

"And he says I don't need a gun to fight, pshhh like I didn't know that already."

I looked up and three other guys were grabbing me and struggling to tie me up. I could hear Lily screaming in the car with Arabella and Ana loudly screaming

"Mommy!"

They threw me face first in the car; just as they got in to drive away, Connor and some of the gang showed up in another one of the black SUV's. They sped out of the gas stations and jumped on the freeway, I struggled to break the rope and lick the tape off my mouth. Lonnie and Bryanna stayed with the girls while Joey, Zack and Connor sped to follow the SUV eventually ended up losing it. I managed to get the tape off

"Where are you taking me?"

They stayed silent, we pulled up to abandoned building in the middle of nowhere. They pulled me out and untied me

"Don't think about running, there is no way out of here."

I stretched

"We can stop playing now."

They pulled their masks off

"Yes boss."

I smirked

"That was more fun than I thought it would be."

Nathan and Ian laughed

"How are we playing this off now?"

I smirked again

"Give it time, we will move in and get him on our side, for now we relax and lay back."

Ian went in the house, Nathan smiled

"I missed you."

I walked up to him and ran my finger on his chest

"You weren't far from me love."

He bit his lip

"I can't believe you just keep getting sexier as you have kids."

I ran my finger up to his chin and put my finger to his lips

"Put your tongue in your mouth, it was a one-time thing, turns out Connor was never dead."

He faked a laugh

"Still into that... okay."

I smirked

"We both know it wasn't serious, don't be acting like I cheated on you."

He shook his head

"I know that."

I went inside to my room and changed into some more comfortable clothes then flopped down on the couch next to the guys

"Where is everyone?"

Ian stretched

"They left to get food in town and I have a date in an hour so I need to get dressed."

I joked

"You have a date? Wow I've been gone too long."

Nathan laughed

"You're telling me; girls find him disgusting."

Ian finished his soda and burped

"Not my problem."

I laughed

"That's so gross but I completely agree with Nat."

Nathan rolled his eyes

"Pig."

Ian laughed

"Don't have a manly voice or burp bro, you are still a little boy."

I smiled

"Go get ready noob".

Ian walked to the backroom and got dressed for his date; Nathan and I sat in front of the blank TV. I was scrolling down my phone; Ian came out looking sharp

"How do I look boss?"

I looked up and smiled

"You look nice for a pig."

I stood up and fixed his tie

"There you go."

I smiled

"Have fun".

He left, Nathan looked up from his phone

"We are once again alone."

I grabbed the pillow and threw it at him

"Nuh uh don't even ask."

As I sat down, the rest of the group walked in and greeted me. They sat in other chairs and couches, Makayla said

"We need to do something about the..."

One of the guys named Jason shushed her; I shushed him

"What were you going to say?"

She tossed the car keys at me

"Let's go for a drive."

Johnathon stood up

"I'm down for another drive, let's do it."

His girlfriend, Lauren got up

"Really Johnny? Why can't we just hang out?"

I stood up

"Can we decide today?"

Makayla started heading to the door, Nathan got up

"I'm coming, Johnny just stay here bro."

We walked out to the black SUV, we drove out farther in the mesa to another one of our houses. I pulled up to the old, grey falling apart house and parked; I got out and walked to the door. Makayla and Nathan followed behind. I opened the door and nearly choked when I saw who it was

"What the hell?"

A girl looked up from Devon's crew, the Coyotes

"Please help me Kayla?!"

Makayla walked up beside me, I licked my top lip then bit my lip

"This is her right? The slut who made you look like you married a player."

I walked up to her and kneeled

"Were you following me?"

She frantically shook her head

"Kayla no, I don't even know what's going on."

She had a bleeding lip and black eye, she was crying and shaking; I didn't feel bad for her. She deserved all of it; I grabbed her by the chin and lifted her head

"They beat you up pretty good huh?"

She gulped

"I didn't have the baby! I had an abortion, you were my best friend! I would never do that to you."

I scoffed and dropped her head

"It's not about the damn baby or the fact you slept with my ex-husband; you betrayed me and made me look like a joke."

I slapped her so hard her head jerked to the right and her nose started bleeding. I stood up and stood over her

"You can have him; we aren't together anymore."

She began crying more

"What are you going to do with me? Please don't kill me."

I smirked as puckered my lips

"You are going to work for me and if I catch you trying to get away or trying to get the police. I will not hesitate to kill you, are we understood?"

She frantically nodded her head

"I would never betray you again."

I helped her up and untied her

"Don't lose my trust."

Makayla threw a blindfold on her

"You can't see where the hideout is until we earn your trust."

Makayla walked her to the SUV, she shoved her in the door onto the seat, I snapped

"Hey! No more of the force, help her in."

I got in and started the SUV, Makayla and Nathan lifted Hope into the car and got in. We drove back to the other house; I pulled Hope out of the car and pulled off the blindfold

"For now you'll be working with me in the house with training until you've earned the trust of the group."

I began walking but stopped

"And don't cross anyone here, they don't do well to traders."

She stood still while I walked in, Nathan and Makayla pushed her to walk; she slowly walked in the house. I walked into the kitchen with Amelia

"What's going on?"

She was making a blunt

"He has everyone looking for you and has no idea."

I smirked

"Good, let me know if they get too close to finding this hideout."

She handed me the blunt

"Of course. Is that her?"

I smiled

"It is and she will be a new member of the Diablos."

I grabbed an unopen beer from the counter

"They will never catch on."

Makayla came in and grabbed a beer

"So how are we going to convince him to work with us to destroy his dad? He'll think you turned on him."

I took a drink from the glass bottle

"I have a plan but we need to wait it out, I will let you all know when it's time."

Amelia grabbed the blunt from me

"Are you going to make him believe you were kidnapped?"

I smirked

"Can we relax? I have a plan and nothing will ruin it, have some trust in me."

I walked into the living room

"Hope, get over here."

I grabbed the keys from the table in the center of the living room

"We are going to train, Makayla and Amelia are in charge till I get back so no fighting or messes."

We walked out to my 69 Camaro SS, and got in. As I started the car, she looked at me

"What happened to you?"

I grabbed my aviators from the sunglasses holder, I pulled down my mirror and fixed them to fit my face perfectly. I flipped it back up and looked at her

"Sometimes you have to show the man who's boss and not be a little bitch like everyone expects you to be."

She looked down

"Why are you doing this to him? You know he won't accept this and your life is in danger as long as you are."

I looked forward

"Don't worry about me, worry about how you are going to make it in this life."

I pulled out and drove off leaving dirt flying behind me. She stayed quiet and looked out the window until she had the nerve to say

"I slept with him to get back at you."

I slammed on my brakes, dead on the abandoned dirt road

"What did you just say?!"

She looked at me with confidence

"He liked me more than you. He said he shouldn't have knocked you up."

I scoffed

"Get out of the car... Now!"

I turned off the car, got out and walked around the car to her side

"Let's see some of that confidence now?"

She gulped and stood with pride

"He wanted me, he said he liked me more than you. You were just a mistake and so was your daughter."

I punched her making her fall into the dirt; she sat up

"It's the truth Kayla!"

I got angry and started kicking her in the stomach and face; I spit on her face before kicking dirt at her. I yelled

"Get your ass up and get in the fucking car, don't fucking say anymore."

I picked her up and threw her in the car; I got in and started the car again

"I told you not to cross me or be picking fights or shit, let this be a warning that worse can happen. Remember I make the rules here."

I drove off on to the main road and drove to the warehouse where the Diablos trained in California; when we pulled up to another abandoned building about an hour later. I got out and she followed behind me; as we went inside the trainers greeted us. I introduced Hope to them

"She's new and needs to be trained; in the meantime, I have some business to take care of. I'll be back in 2 hours and she's a talker so have some fun."

She looked at me with concern

"Really? They will kill me!"

I smirked

"That would be too easy. Don't kill her, just make it hurt a lot."

Hope hollered as I walked away

"I'm sorry!"

Matthew nodded his head

"Come with us Hope."

I pulled out my phone and checked my notifications

"Just in time."

I called Makayla

"It's time, get everyone ready if something goes wrong."

I walked to my car, I headed back to the main house for Makayla. We started heading back toward Connor's house; Makayla drew on her red lipstick

"How's this going to play out?"

I explained the entire plan to her and she looked at me with her evil grin

"I love it. It's so evil."

I pulled over just before his house waiting for back up to show up putting n a black ski mask to hide my face.
