Page 47 of Echoes of Obsession

“Night, babe.”

My mind races with everything I need to get in order for the next two days. I open the Obsidian Family text box and type out my message.

“I’m spending the next two days alone with Snow and Dove. I don’t want to be bothered unless it’s a life-or-death emergency. Venom, I want Reynolds to be in charge of the Undercage since you’re fighting tomorrow night. Pull in whatever men you want for security. Hayes, liquor will be delivered before the Cage opens tomorrow. I need you to be here to deal with that. King and Maddy, I want you two at the clubhouse before three tomorrow. Someone is coming to install a damn pool, DO NOT tell the kids. Blaze and Steel, I know your club is getting remodeled, but if either of you would take control of the Cage tomorrow, I would greatly appreciate it. If not, maybe Hayes can take charge of security, and Taylor can manage the club. I think that’s it. Love you, family.”

With Seventeen people in this chat, it doesn’t take long for the responses to come through.

Venom: My fight is first on the roster. I can help Reynolds once I win.

Reynolds: If you win.

Venom: WHEN I win.

Reynolds: Oh, so Xander’s fighting?

Sophie: Xander isn’t allowed to fight because he broke that man’s arm last time and then laughed about it with King.

King: It was funny. Yeah, brother, we’ll hang out at the club. I’ll also have Knox with me.

Steel: I’ll be there. Blaze has to take care of some paperwork but will also be there before the Cage is even open.

Knox: WE’RE FINALLY GETTING A POOL? HECK YEAH!!!

Maddy: WOOHOO! POOL PARTY!

Sophie: We should add Snow to the chat.

Knox: Doing it now.

Taylor: Maybe you should talk to Ghost about it first, Pup.

Snow: Hello? Who is this?

Knox: Whoops. Hey girl. This is Knox. You’re in a group chat with all of us.

Snow: Who is all of us?

Knox: Me, Sophie, Maddy, Emily, Ma, Pops, Ghost, Hayes, Taylor, Venom (sometimes Miles, but never Xander or Doc), King, Blaze, Steel, Reynolds, Jax, Mitchell, and Parker.

Snow: Oh my.

Ghost: Thought you were going to sleep, babe?”

Snow: I’m in bed, but I was curious about why my phone was beeping so often.

Sophie: The kids finally talked Ghost into installing a pool. But he says not to tell the kids.

Snow: That’s exciting. Who is this?

Knox: Everyone, type out your name so Snow can program them into her phone.

On and on, the conversation goes. I spend ten minutes trying to keep up before laughing at myself and getting back to work.

I love my crazy ass family.
