“Dad’s gone,” I tell her.

Her eyes fill with tears at my words. She pulls me into her arms and cries softly.

“Brother,” someone says, and I look behind me to see a prospect.

“Bianca is gone,” he tells me.

It takes a second for his words to register.

I run to the room she was staying in and look to see that all her stuff is gone.

“Where the fuck is she? You were supposed to be watching her,” I shout at him.

“I was watching her, but then you guys came in and I was shouted at to help. She was here the whole time,” he says.

“That means she just left. Search the area,” I shout.

Bear walks up to me. “Brother. Demon wasn’t with them. He’s in hiding now. He and his VP sent their brothers out and stayed hidden.

“Fuck!” I shout. Things keep getting worse.

“What the fuck else can go fucking wrong?” I spit out.

I start pacing the room. Fuck, this day has gone from bad to worse.

I search over her whole room, seeing if there are any clues, but there’s not a fucking thing.

I leave the clubhouse and search the area myself, but I can’t seem to find anything despite me searching for hours. I check every transportation place possible.

When I get back to the club, the sun is already rising but I haven’t slept a wink.

I can’t waste time sleeping right now. I call Church and wait in the room until all the brothers are there.

“We need to bury our fallen, pick a new president and VP, and find Bianca,” I tell them once everyone is in the room.

They speak up and everyone voices that they want me as their president. It was what I wanted to be after my father stepped down, but it wasn’t supposed to come about this way.

The decision becomes unanimous. I become the president and name Bear as my VP.

I don’t say anything as I leave Church. I walk straight to my father’s office to make arrangements for the fallen members.

When I sit in his chair, I look around the room. Only yesterday, this was all my father’s.

That’s when the dam breaks, and I let loose all the sorrow that has been plaguing my body.

I don’t know how I’m supposed to do this without him.

Thankfully, no one comes in to see me break down.

When I feel like I’ve let all I can out, I go through his desk and figure out where to go from here.

Lilianna

I wish there was something I could do as I watch the man I love break down. He left late last night to look for Bianca and then returned this morning. I didn’t sleep. I was too worried about everything he’s going through.

Losing his father is already hard on him, but Bianca leaving with his kid in her belly is another gut punch.

I’ve never felt so fucking helpless in my life.
