I feel certain of that for about a minute.Then I remember how we first met...Devil at a store with a buggy full of condoms, planning to party.

Shit.

Chapter62

Wolf

I plantthe seeds where I need to, but I’m growing intensely bored with this damn game.When I get back to the club I’m going to need a bottle of whiskey and definitely play time with some of the girls.Had Devil not stuck his dick where it didn’t belong I might have been playing with Torrent tonight.At least I could have stuffed my cock in her mouth to keep from hearing her drone on and on.

A new plan is starting to hatch in my head.If I could make the club believe that Torrent and I were getting married and then kill her and leave her to be found the day of the wedding… I’d gain all the members’ sympathy and cooperation and be done with Torrent at the same time.

I sift through the particulars in my mind and almost don’t catch what she says next.

“I’m sure he went back to his club.His president was in trouble.”

“What kind of trouble?”I ask, thinking it could be useful information.Diesel had the balls to show up at my club and help his brother see a bitch I claimed as my property.Maybe I can add to histrouble.

Retribution, motherfuckers… That’s the name of the game.

“I’m not sure.Devil mentioned that Diesel had a little boy and the mother kept trying to kidnap him and take him away.They think she has help, maybe.Diesel was thinking an old enemy was trying to get his child to use against him…”

“That can definitely be a weakness exploited.Look at what happened with Dodger and you,” I respond, enjoying the look of pain that comes across her face.Now that I think about it, I’m probably the one taking her fire away.I’m controlling her without trying much.It’s really…so easy.

“Yeah,” she whispers.“Devil’s gone back home.I know it.They said the last time Vicki tried to get her son, she left Diesel for dead.Devil would have gone to be with his brothers.”

“Vicki?”I ask, starting to get more and more interested.It’s a long shot, but that name sounds familiar and so does the situation.Surely it couldn’t be that simple.Then again, the gods might be shining down on me.

“Diesel’s ex.Devil told me her name during some of our lunches together during my time at the convent.”

“I see… I tell you what, Torrent.Give me a few days to see what I can find out about Devil and if he is back with this crew, I’ll get in touch with him for you.”

“You will?Even though… Well, I mean…”

“I will,” I tell her, squeezing her hand.“I keep telling you, Torrent.It doesn’t matter to me how needy you are right now.I care about you.I want to help you.”

“I… Thank you, Wolf.That means a lot.You’re always here for me,” she says, and I pull her into my arms and hug her.

“And I always will be here for you, Torrent.I won’t stop until you get everything you deserve,” I whisper, my hand brushing her hair.“Always.”

In my head I’m making plans to have Red get all the information he can on Diesel and his kid.I have a hunch and if I’m right… that solid ground I want with the Koreans just fell into my lap.

Chapter63

Torrent

I’ve givenWolf two days now to try and find Devil.Whenever I’ve asked him about it, he says he’s working on it.I’m trying to be patient but the more time that goes by, the more I worry.Something feels…wrong.

Yesterday I finally got up the nerve to talk to a therapist.It’s going to be a long road, but I think a therapist is a step in the right direction with finding myself again.I haven’t told Wolf.I don’t know if he realizes how some of his remarks affect me, but they definitely do.I’ve had one meeting with the therapist, but it went well and she encouraged me to take control of my life again.

I’m going to try and the first step of doing that is to find Devil.If Wolf hasn’t gotten anywhere, I’m heading down there today.

I have to.

“What have you found out about Diesel and that kid?Is that the one King is looking for?”

I stop outside of the office when I hear Wolf.At first, I don’t understand but he mentioned Diesel’s name.I don’t know who King is, but Wolf’s tone is different than I’ve ever heard.Something is telling me to listen…

“Yeah, fuck dude, I don’t know how you got so damn lucky.King has a hard-on for this man Diesel.He wants his head on a fucking pike,” Red responds.
