He doesn’t break eye contact with me as he admits, “He’s the one who slipped GHB into your drink before helping Lacey escape.”
My whole world spins, and I stand, fighting off the weakness from the drug, and I shout, “Fucking find him now, find my daughter!”
He nods and rushes out with Mama, Dad, and Blade following.
I turn to Brick and demand, “Where is my phone?”
He grabs it out of his pocket, and I take it while gripping his shoulder for support and turn the screen on. I hear Brick suck in a breath at the photo of Sky and Tate, but I ignore his reaction and bring up her number before putting the phone on speaker.
It rings several times, and just before I think it’s about to go to voicemail, she picks up.
“Nyx, I just need some time,” she answers with sorrow, “I know things probably didn’t look as they seem, but I just, the pain I felt seeing it scared me.”
“Precious, I need you to stay calm for me,” I reply, already knowing what she saw scared her.
I will never allow her to leave me. She knows this, and I know she needs space to come to terms with how much she actually loves me, but she can’t have that right now.
Our daughter is missing, and she needs to know.
Fuck, Lacey took Tate…
“What’s happened?” she demands more firmly, and I swallow hard, the pain shooting through my chest causing it difficult to breathe, and I admit, “A prospect drugged me for Lacey, the same prospect Mama left Tate with while she came to check on me five minutes ago.”
Brick jaw ticks as her breathing quickens, and she demands, “Where is Tate, Nyx? Where is my daughter?”
Fuck I can’t even soften at the use ofmybecause my whole fucking world is crumbling as I admit, “Gone, precious, she’s gone.”
Skylar’s screams echo in the room before I hear, “Skylar? What’s happened?” and Brick tenses as he demands, “Is that Anna?”
I ignore him, focusing on the phone as I state, “I’ll find her, precious, I’ll find our daughter, I promise.”
My door opens again as Sky’s sobs echo in the room, Anna’s voice along with it trying to reassure her, and Blade’s eyes go wide at my phone hearing his mother.
“Brother, any news?” I demand, gaining his confused attention.
“Lacey met Bently at the back gate with a screaming Tate. Venom’s trying to track them,” he admits, his eyes on my phone and I nod and state to my girl, “I’ll call you once I’ve found her, Skylar, alright?” she sniffles not replying, and I demand, “Mama Lopez, do you have her?”
Brick and Blade tense as Anna replies, “I have her, Nyx. I’ll bring her to the club. Go find Tate!”
I hang up as Blade demands, “I want a fucking explanation as to why my mother is with my sister, and I want one now!”
“I’d like to know as well,” Brick adds, and I growl looking between them.
“Now or after I’ve found my missing fucking daughter who has been taken by a jealous clubwhore who could hurt her?” I demand, full of anger and disappointment at them.
Blade pales while Brick winces, and I shove past them, ignoring the bile that wants to come out while trying to ignore the fact I was sexually fucking assaulted. Their boots follow me as I rush into the common room, ignoring all the concerned eyes, including Mama’s tears, then turn towards Church where I find the room full, Venom’s laptop open, and the TV on showing footage of a beat-up Cadillac speeding through town.
I feel eyes on me, brothers worried as a hand clamps down on my shoulder that I know is most likely Blade, probably feelingbad, but I ignore him and focus on the screen, looking for clues as to where they are taking my daughter.
I have a child to find and a woman to fucking kill!
Chapter 22
Skylar
“I need you to breathe for me, sweet pea,” Mama demands softly as she cups my cheeks, but I shake my head and cry, “I never should have run out of the club.”
I knew the scene before me didn’t look right, I felt it deep down in my gut, but I panicked at the pain that overtook me seeing her lips on him. I’d never felt that kind of pain before, and in my head, I thought if I ran, I’d never have to feel it again, even if I knew it was crap.
