Gary isn’t in debt, the old man knows how to manage money, and I know Ivy has some savings.
Venom offers me his half-smoked cigarette, and I take it to my lips before inhaling, enjoying the rush that goes through me before blowing the smoke out and handing the stick back to Venom.
“Ivy is going to kill you if she smells that shit on your breath,” Fury chuckles and I grin.
“I’m quite looking forward to the fight, though, knowing my cupcake, me knocking her out will most likely take her focus,” I admit with a sly grin as I look around the church, ensuring the prospects are in place.
Four fucking months and I can finally have her back in my arms.
Blade put a ban on all brothers coming to the ceremony when a few felt guilty no one will be there for Ivy while giving the prospects a job that no one knows about, and I’ve spent four months watching Ivy from a far regretting my actions, wishing I had just been selfish.
Work, a few doctor’s appointments with her OBGYN which has to be about contraception which just pisses me off and a few girlie dates with Raya, Lake and Skylar before spending the night at Raya’s – that is her routine and not once have I seen fuckface with her which is probably why he’s still walking around with two hands.
“You know Dad’s going to be fucking mad when he realizes we’ve gone behind his back and sent him on a club run,” Venom mutters and I shrug.
“This way, Clara can’t blame him,” I remind him, and he nods before furrowing his brows and signaling to the front of the church.
Fury and I both look in time to see Clara walk out of the priests’ chambers in an off-white dress that hugs her body looking more like a fucking bride than the mother of the bride, her hair perfectly curled.
What the actual fuck?
“I thought only the bride was supposed to wear white,” Fury asks, and I tilt my head at the glow she has…
“Uh Venom,” I mutter, and he side eyes me before I say, “don’t take this the wrong way but why in the fuck do your mother’s tits look four times bigger than they did a year ago?”
He growls but freezes seeing what I’m seeing because no I have never checked him Mama out but it’s kind of hard not to fucking notice she’s had something done.
She’s always worn low cut tops and never did they fucking stand out.
“She’s also a lot skinner than she was when I last saw her three weeks ago,” he mumbles with confusion, “What the fuck has she been doing?”
“Cosmetic surgery by the looks of things,” Fury says, “even her lips are bigger, which would explain why she hasn’t had time for your family dinners.”
Clara basically skips around the side of the church and then disappears, and I shake my head and mutter, “No time to look into this shit, Luna has done what we need, let’s go grab Ivy and we’ll check your mother’s hospital records because fuck, I don’t want to say it but…”
Venom says, “Mama borrowed money from the Hyenas to get the work done she’s always wanted, but Dad never agreed with and can’t pay it back,” Fury finishes, “So Ivy is selling her soul for Clara.Mother fucker…” He scoffs, “And what is the over-under she has no idea what her mother borrowed the money for?”
Anger like no other fills me.
“It would explain how Ivy met Hayden to begin with, and we all know Glock wouldn’t pay for all that work. He loved Clara for who she was and what she already looked like and there is no way the amount he transfers is enough for all that shit,” I growl, “Raya told me to fight for her, and I would bet my fucking Harley that she knew what Ivy was up to for her mother!”
“Fuck…” Venom mutters, running a hand frustratedly through his hair, anger vibrating off him, “she’s not even here, her best friend who apparently always has her back isn’t even fucking here.”
I shake my head and snap, “Venom, fill Blade in on the possibility of Clara being the reason this is happening. You can go confront Raya later. Fury, go grab Clara and knock her out with chloroform and get a prospect to take her back to the club. She can answer to Glock and Blade later. I have a certain girl to get.”
They nod knowing I’m not acting as a jealous man whose love is about to marry someone else, instead I’m their Vice President seeing all is not right and my girl is now in fucking danger.
God dammit, Ivy!
For weeks, I have had a pit in my stomach, something just not right, but I stayed back, knowing this plan was in place. Now, the pieces of the puzzle are coming together.
Venom growls, “I swear if I find out my mother was really a patch chaser and did all this shit just to get more money outta Dad, I’ll kill her myself!” before he runs over to the left of the church towards the back where Blade is while Fury leans into the truck and grabs the spare rag drenched in chloroform then runs in the direction Clara went.
I sniff hard, get my rag out of the matte black truck that my dad got me for my eighteenth birthday, and walk towards the front of the church.
Ivy sat in the driver’s seat with the biggest fucking grin when I rounded the corner to find this on the club’s drive – apparently she picked it out and I have cherished it ever since, only allowing her to drive it.
Shaking my head, I pick up my speed. It’s time to get my girl and have the questions we now have answered then I’m going to spank her ass for running from me instead of asking for my help knowing I would scorch the earth for her.
