“Fuck,” he sighs, and I look back at him as he says, “You’re an adult now. Melissa’s claims are moot point, especially with the fact Anna raised you without all of us knowing, might I add, Brick thinks she’s having an affair for Christ sake,” I shrug my shoulders. He sighs and asks, “Why not have a relationship with Blade? I can understand Brick, believe me, I fucking do. I barely speak to the man, and his sole focus is winning his woman back, but why not have a relationship with Blade?”
“I can’t tell you,” I admit, knowing he’d go back and tell Blade and Brick, and he frowns, but I remind him, “I don’t trust you anymore, Fury. You broke me back then and not because of that sweet girl. We weren’t a couple when she was created, and I understood your reasoning for why you needed to end things at the time. I really did, even if it hurt me, she needed you, and youneeded to come to terms with the fact that you were about to be a dad and not by choice.”
He growls, “Fuck, Viper was right,” before he looks at me and confirms, “It’s because I lied…”
I nod once and remind him, “You built us on a lie. How we met, the stories you told me, everything was a lie, dammit Fury, you told me you had no family and were alone, you played me all because your President told you to then went back and told him everything I said to you,” my eyes race between his. I admit, “You’ve broken my trust, and I don’t think you’ll be able to get it back again,” I chew my bottom lip before I state, “I love you, Fury, I always have, but there is no relationship without trust.”
His jaw ticks before Tate sequels “Ray-Ray,” and I sigh internally for the break in this conversation as I turn and watch Raya catch Tate.
“Hey, munchkin, whatcha up to?” Raya asks Sky as she plops her on her hip, and I grin wide as Tate replies, “Playing with my Sky-Sky.”
Raya hums and looks between me and Fury with a raised brow, but I subtly shake my head, and she nods in understanding.
I know he’s never been this side of my office before, and I know she’s aware he’s seen the photo, but he doesn’t know anything, and I won’t be opening my mouth, and now neither will she.
“I’ll gain your trust back,” Fury says close to my ear, his warm breath sending goosebumps down my arms. “I won’t be letting Brick, Blade, or the club aware of your relationship with Anna. Clearly, you’ve kept it a secret for a reason. I’ll respect that until you are ready, but know this, I won’t be giving up on us, just like I haven’t in nearly five years, and I think it’s time you start letting me back in again so I can tell you everything you wantto know about my family because, precious, that is the only lie I told you. And for what it’s worth, I fucking love you too.”
He presses a hard kiss to my head, making me swallow hard before he gently leans the photo of him and me up against the side of the one of Tate before he walks over to the chair, takes a seat again, and asks, “How’s Venom, Raya?” all while I stand there shocked.
Raya narrows her eyes at him and snaps, “I don’t know, I don’t care…”
She’s such a liar.
Venom is Ivy’s big brother and Raya’s major crush, who treats her like crap believing she’s only friends with Ivy to piss off Daddy, who is dead but he doesn’t know that and she refuses to tell him.
Raya grew up with money but was never spoiled. Her parents wanted her to have a level head, but after her father died, everything he had went into a trust for her, something his family is not aware of, who are now broke and demanded the inheritance.
They think it all got tied up in bills, while Raya refuses to touch it.
Anyhow, Venom has treated her like crap for years, and she kept backing away until he brought up her father, and she snapped, so now she’s gotten his attention, and she dodges him every chance she gets.
“Lair,” Fury chuckles, and Raya sticks out her tongue at him before paying attention to Tate again. I shake my head and round my desk, leaning against it only to find Fury’s attention on me.
He looks me over before he nods once and confirms, “Anna,” and I swallow hard, looking at Tate and Raya before I look back at Fury and admit, “She thought I’d have a good relationship with her, and the same with Ivy, Raya, and Lake.”
He hums, eyeing his daughter, then looks at me and states, “You have Anna’s heart,” and my eyes tear up.
“That is probably the best compliment you could give me,” I admit, and he tilts his head, looking at me intently and I look away, making eye contact with Raya, who still has Tate in her arms, and she gives me a sad smile.
When Fury is near, all I want to do is curl up in his arms and ask him to never let me go, especially on a day like today. I wasn’t lying to him. I understood his reasonings with Tate, but what I can’t seem to get over is the fact he lied to me, made me feel like our whole time together was a façade all for Brick, for the club then breaking my trust by repeating everything I said to him back to them.
He didn’t think how I’d feel in the end, only doing what he was told to do.
I don’t think there is any coming back from that, and besides, I won’t put Mama in that predicament either.
If I give Fury a second chance, especially when he has been trying to prove to me over the years that he made a mistake, then Mama may have to make a decision on her marriage and whether or not to explain her pain.
I won’t do that to her, even if it means moving on from the man who stole my heart with lies.
Chapter 8
Fury
I gently lick my bottom lip as I watch Psycho shake hands with Cage, the Carnage MC’s President, who had been locked up five times before taking over from his grandfather five years ago. They get to talking while Medic walks over to their treasurer, Knuckles, who is one hell of a cage fighter, grabbing the cash before they get into a conversation. While me, well, I stay back, my mind going fucking everywhere.
I wasn’t supposed to come on the trip today, but I needed some time.
Years, fucking years Anna has been in Sky’s life, raising her, and none of us knew.
