Axel's Promise (Inferno's Clutch MC #4)

Prologue

Faith

“Please tell me why you’re doing this?” I cry.

It’s been two weeks since Alex was shot and now he’s tellin’ me he wants me gone.

He was done. I was so scared I’d lost him that night when he’d closed his eyes and I couldn’t get him to reopen them.

God, why couldn’t I just be ready when he asked.

If it wasn’t for me making us late, he wouldn’t have been hurt.

“Because I fuckin’ am, Faith. Now pack your shit and get the hell out of here. I’m done. When I get home your ass better not be there,” Alex states harshly, from where he laid in the hospital bed. He was supposed to be coming home today. Home to me.

Why is he doing this?

I thought he loved me.

“Alex, please, I don’t understand . . .”

“Nothing to understand but the fact, I’m done. Don’t love you and I want out,” he snarls interrupting me.

Oh God.

I’m going to be sick.

It doesn’t help my stomach was already not doing that great.

Hasn’t been for the past three weeks. All due to morning sickness.

It was the reason I’d made us late that night.

I was throwing up and didn’t want him to know.

Not yet at least. I planned to tell him that night at the party he thought I didn’t know about.

Now he wants me gone and he doesn’t even know about the child I’m carrying.

“Alex, please,” I beg, reaching out for his hand.

“No, Faith.” Snatching his hand away from mine, he glares at me. “Get the fuck out of here. Don’t want to see your face anymore.”

“But we promised each other forever,” I whisper, tears pouring down my cheeks. We’d been together from the moment I moved in next door and when my parents moved yet again, I stayed to be with Alex. He’s the love of my life and I didn’t want to be anywhere else but with him.

My parents being who they are, gave their stamp of approval.

“Promises are meant to be broken,” Alex growls vehemently.

Nodding I step back, mutely, as his words ring in my head. “Okay, Alex. You want me gone fine, I won’t be there when you get home and when you come to your senses don’t call me.”

My heart feels as if it were being shredded into a million pieces as I turn on my heel leaving behind the only man who I’ll ever be able to love. But now, I have a baby coming who needs me to stay strong.
