Chapter 8.
Angel
POV.
I'm not going to lie and say it didn't hurt seeing that club whore talk to him because it fucking did. It felt like my heart was ripped from my chest again and stamped on. But I have to harden my heart against this man. Even if it means having to be cold and indifferent. All I wanted to do was leap over the table and pull her ratty hair extensions out of her head and strangle her with them.
Even my dad saw my face, but I quickly schooled my expression and acted like it didn't bother me. I suppose I'm going to have to get used to all the attention he gets. I mean, he is a good-looking man and is everything a hot-blooded female wants. But it still hurts seeing him even when he tried to explain I had to cut him off. I can't fall for him again.
We arrived back an hour ago, and Rebel is super excited to be somewhere new. Me, not so much. I have to do what is right for her sake, not mine. If I could, I would have never returned, but she deserves to know her dad. Even if he did destroy us. All because of a selfish, jealous bitch.
"Everything will be fine, princess." I nod my head as I listen to my dad. We drive down the streets that were once so familiar to me, but a lot has changed over the past three years. Even the area has taken a drastic change. The Princes of Darkness MC own this town and they have made it better. Even if they pay for it all through ill-gotten gains. But still I can't talk. I mean, my dad and momma are the most powerful people in the country.
The SUV slows and stops in front of a house. It is similar to the one I've just left behind, but still I will make it homey. Our things arrived this morning. Momma is a godsend. If she wants something done by god, she will get it sorted and she did.
When we returned from seeing Savage, she had movers already packing and getting all the furniture out of house and shipped to the new address. It was like I blinked one second and the house was still filled with our things and the next everything was packed up, boxed, sealed and out in the back of a moving truck.
We flew in this afternoon after we said goodbye to everyone. Scar told me she was just a phone call away if I needed her and dad said he would send the jet to collect her. He wasn't surprised to see her. In fact, mom was pissed she never met Scar before, but they get along.
Coral, well, she and Dylan will be moving here. Apparently, Blaze saved her the other night. Steve, her ex, hit her, and Blaze intervened when he went to the bar. I think it is safe to say Steve won't be a problem any time soon. So she will be here in a few days. Dad has paid for everything for her and Dylan to move here. She sobbed when I told her. I couldn't just leave her.
Max is running the bar for the time being. Dad already has some of his most trusted people looking after it as well. See, even when I try to make it in the big bad world, mom and dad have to step in and take over. They will never change.
I enter the house with an excited Rebel and Boomer and it is so strange to see everything in the house.
"Well, what do you think?" Momma asks from behind me as I stand there, just blinking. The house is bigger than the last one. Everything is here and in its place. The walls have been painted a soft grey and silver. The flooring is hardwood. The downstairs layout is the same with it being all open plan. So I can still keep my eye on Rebel if I'm in the kitchen and she is in the living room.
The upstairs is different. It has three bedrooms but without the extra bathroom. The best part of the house is the garden. It is huge. It has a swing set, a pool which is covered over, a jacuzzi. A little pool house with furniture, fire pit and, of course, a grill.
I walk back through the house with Rebel who is ready to go off like a shaken bottle of soda with excitement. She runs around with Boomer beside her and I smile as I look at everything. Ok Angel, you can do this. No more running. Time to put your big girl panties on and own it.
"I love it, momma, thank you so much." I say, giving her a hug just as the doorbell rings.
"I'll get it." My dad walks toward the door.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
"Where is she?" I look up and see my brothers walking in. Tears leave my eyes and I run to Nate and throw myself into his open arms. He kisses me on the head and hugs me tight. Nico also joins in on the hug. "Don't you ever do that again, you hear?" I nod my head against his neck as he sets me down on my feet.
"I'm sorry for running away. I just didn't know what to do, and I didn't want to be seen as a disgrace." I say when Nico shoves him out of the way and crushes me into a bear hug.
"Anyone who says shit about you would have been sent straight to hell. No one and I fucking mean no one says shit about my sister. Now, move aside. I need to make sure I'm the favourite." He moves me away and makes a bee-line towards Rebel Who is playing with my momma on the floor.
"If anyone is going to have the title of favourite uncle, you fucker, it's me." Nate growls, stalking after Nico. This is my family, crazy yet protective, and playful, and I love them.
We all sit down as they squabble over who she loves more and I sit back and just get lost in it all. How stupid I was to leave them all. They would never have been disappointed in me. They love me and I love them.
The door bell sounds again and I stand up and move to open the door opening it to see Savage standing there with a smile on his face. Smug fucker.
"Why are you here?" I ask, leaning against the door frame. He chuckles and his blue eyes look amused. Like I have just asked a stupid question. Which it really is. He runs this town and have his daughter. With a groan and not letting him respond, I move away and he enters the house.
"Thanks princess." He says low enough for me to hear and I shiver with the tone of it. Fuck!
My brothers stop talking and both turn their heads towards Savage. Their honey coloured eyes watching him. I laugh at this. Savage walks to them both and they stand. I move to stop whatever is going to go down in my house. When I'm left gaping as Nate hugs him, and so does Nico.
Ok did I wake up in the twilight zone or something? What is happening here?
