Ugh. Who the hell is calling me at, I turn and look at the clock.
4:30 am.
What the fuck.
I pull my phone off the nightstand and look at the caller.
Peyton.
“Do you know what time it is?”
“Yes, I do and I’m sorry. When are you coming home?”
I can hear the tears in her voice. It makes me sit up straighter.
“I haven’t decided yet, probably soon. I am driving back. Why what’s going on?”
“Whip was taken and beaten pretty badly. He’s in the hospital. There has been so much I need to tell you. Rage is spiraling again. Turns out Whip is his brother.”
“Wow that’s a lot. Is Whip okay?”
“He’s in the hospital. I was so fucking scared I’d never see him again. It was horrible.”
“Jeez, Pey. I’m sorry you had to deal with all that, I wish I was there for you.”
“Are you coming back soon?”
“Yeah, like I said, I plan on leaving soon. I’ve got a bunch of animals to make the hall with me. So I’m pulling a trailer. I guess a couple probably. I’ve got a barn built up there for my horses. Keep me updated on Whip and everything okay? I want to know that you guys are okay.
Maybe talk to him and get some answers about everything now too. You all deserve to be happy.”
“So do you Rose.”
“I’ve got big plans and big dreams, Peyton. I’m going to be fine. I”ve had my fair share of men, I think I’m over all that.
I”ve got too much going on to worry about a man.
Don’t worry about me, okay? I’m going to be fine.
I love you. I will let you know when I am home and you can come see my new home.”
I need to open up to my friends back home, I need to tell them the truth about my family and where we come from.
I haven’t told any of them, usually people have gotten close to me for my family’s money or because of my connections.
I have a very select group of friends. When I went away to school, I decided to keep my family history to myself.
It isn’t like there aren’t a bunch of Callahan families.
No one needs to know that my parents are the richest people in Texas and that we come from the Irish Mafia family that runs Ashford, Maine.
I love my friends in Richmond, but I have loved no one knowing or expecting anything from me.
I guess I should have told them sooner, but it's all going to come out soon.
Especially now that I am pregnant with their Road Captain’s baby.
“I love you too, Rose. Be careful.”
After we hang up I open the text messages that I have from the night before.
Rage: I have not heard from you since our last phone conversation. We need to talk. When are you coming home?
Rage: Rose, I am going fucking crazy here, you told me you would let me know what was going on after you saw a fucking doctor. I have not heard from you.
Rage: Rose. I need you. I’m so sorry for what I said to you. I know I fucked up. I did not mean any of it. I am sorry that I was not more clear about the lines of our relationship.
That one pissed me off. I never should’ve entered into whatever the hell this was that we were doing, but I can’t regret it because this beautiful baby I am carrying wouldn’t be here without it.
Me: I will find a lawyer to work through.
All conversations regarding our child can go through them.
I do not feel safe with you. We may be having a child together, but that doesn’t change the fact that you had sex with me without protection and continued to fuck the dirty whores at the club.
The whores you knew had been fucking with my head since I decided to stupidly enter whatever the hell this was with you.
I can’t regret it though because now I am having a beautiful baby.
I just wish it wasn’t with you. I don’t know what happened to you to make you this way, but hopefully one day you can be better for our child and whatever woman actually makes you feel something other than you in your fucking dick.
The baby is fine, I am due around April.
I will have my attorney work up custody papers and from there she will pass along anything else you need to know.
I put him on silent shortly after I send that message because I do not want to be notified if he sends some stupid fucking text again.
I’m sick of his half ass apologies. Like ‘I’m sorry I fucked other people while fucking you, but I never promised you anything.’
. What a fuckign dumbass. No you never promised me anything, but you sure decided to put my health at risk by fucking those dirty skanks with your used up cock.
I mean yes, it is a fucking good cock. Miraculous even and the piercings.
I’m never going to find another man like that.
The sex was fucking phenomenal. I mean I guess I know why he was so fucking good at it.
“UGH! Why?”
Now I’m fucking horny. I don’t know why I went in that deep dark dirty hole, but now my pregnancy hormones are fully up and running wanting more of that dick. I move my hand down to the small bump.
“We are going to be okay. Mama’s got it all figured out. It’s just you and me, baby.”
My phone buzzes and I turn and look at it with suspicion. I don’t know who is texting me now. Grabbing it I open the message from the unknown caller. A chill running down my spine.
Unknown: I am glad to see you finally realized the biker bitch wasn’t for you and I didn’t have to do something drastic.
But I am glad I was patient. I wish you did not go home, I can’t be as close to you now.
But I look forward to seeing you again when you come back.
Don’t disappoint me again. You belong to me.
Not some filthy biker. You are mine. You have always been mine.
I have let you have your fun, but that fun is over.
I don’t reply, I quickly take a screenshot and send it to Finn before blocking the number.
I don’t know how many numbers from this psycho I have blocked, but it has been too many.
Finn replied faster than I thought he would this early in the morning.
He was in the guest house with the rest of his family and I thought he would be sleeping like any other normal person.
Finn: I am going to try and track that asshole. Why haven’t you told me this was still happening? After I cleared your house and made sure no one was using anything in there, you never mentioned it again. This is not okay Rose. Maybe you should tell your father and not go back to Richmond.
Me: That is not happening, Finn. My life is there now. I’m not going to let some sick freak take my dreams away from me.
Finn: Fine, then I am coming with you to install security throughout your property.
I know everything isn’t built yet, but I am going to make sure there is security throughout the 150 acres or whatever your dad bought you.
No one is going to get on that property without you knowing or me.
So you better be prepared for an overbearing cousin.
If your father and brothers find out what you are hiding, they will kill me.
Me: Fine, you can come. But do not let them know that some psycho is stalking me. I’ll be fine.
I feel better knowing that Finn is going to put in the security in my new home, I know that it will be top notch.
I just hope that he can track this person and we can put an end to all this craziness.
I’m also hoping that because I am no longer involved with the club, this person will leave me the hell alone.
I knew I was no longer going to get any sleep, so I got up and put on a pair of my dark jeans, a white fitted tank top that now was a little more fitted since I popped and a flannel shirt. I put my hair up in a tight ponytail and walked downstairs to find my favorite pair of cowboy boots.
“What are you doing up, baby girl? You should be sleeping.”
My father said as he startled me. I turned around and looked at him.
“Peyton called, some stuff happened at home and she wanted to talk to me. I couldn’t fall back asleep, so I thought I would go out to the barn and feed my horses.”
“Mmmm, well alright then. I talked to Jax and Rhett about driving you back to Richmond. When did you want to start heading back? We can get the trailers all set up. Who are you taking with you? And will I have a ranch when you leave?” My dad asks as he laughs.
“Yes daddy, you will have more than enough for your ranch. Maybe we could leave first thing tomorrow? Are they sure that they want to leave for that long?”
“Yeah, they talked with Ameilia and Harper they both agreed they can hold the fort down for them so they can help you get everything settled. I need a list of everything you are going to need. I know what the horses need to travel, but I want to make sure you are all set at your new home.
Maybe talk to Abby and see what all the girls have done since you left.”
“I have talked to Abby and the girls every day that I’ve been here. They have sent pictures and everything. Progress has really come along. I can’t believe as much has been done in such a short amount of time.”
“I told you I wanted you to have your dream without struggling. So I made sure those carpenters were paid nicely. What horses are you bringing? Are you bringing all of them this trip? What about the dogs?”
“I think I want to bring Magnolia, Whiskey Sunrise, Wildflower, Texas Trouble, Midnight Rebel and Honeybee. I plan on looking into getting more horses when I get everything set up. Some for myself and then obviously some therapy horses. I’m sorry to tell you this, but I want to bring Bandit,
my boy needs to be with me. Then Daisy, Boone and Pepper.”
Dad laughs and says, “I figured Bandit was going to be getting a new home, hate to see him leave, but he always wants you even when you’re not here. The other three were always yours as well. If you need help with finding any horses or wanting some stallions for breeding, let me know.
I would love to come out and help you figure all of that out. I will get everything set up for you to head out tomorrow. I’ll let Rhett and Jax know.”
“Okay daddy, thank you. Finn did tell me he wanted to come as well.”
“I like that idea, it would be good to have his advice on security measures. Especially now that you’ve got my grandbaby on the way. Now, go take care of those horses. When that’s done you come back inside, mama will have breakfast ready.”
I nod my head and head out to the barn.
