Saige

A few weeks later…

The day was a great one, for the most part.

Sloane and I worked our butts off to get this place open.

We baked and decorated for two days straight.

Saige’s Sweet Treats is now open to the public.

Most of the club was here to help out for the day.

We did a huge grand opening, with door prizes, a cake walk, samples for people, and it was a huge success.

We already have orders for a couple of birthday cakes, and a retirement party.

The only thing that would have made today better was if Cotton wasn’t acting so weird towards me again.

I thought maybe we were headed towards a relationship, but after the day we signed papers for the bakery, he’s gone back to ignoring me, or being snippy.

I have no clue what I have done to set him off like that. I just know it hurts.

Loki is staying behind to be with me and Sloane as we close and clean up for the day.

There was a prospect here too, but I told him to go ahead and leave, since Loki was here.

Yeah, Dad will be pissed at me for not having the two patches and a prospect with me, but it’s been almost a month, with nothing from the Ghosts.

So I let the guy go home. He was so tired.

I guess that was my first mistake. The second was letting Sloane and Loki take off a few minutes before I did.

As I’m getting my stuff in my saddlebag and grabbing my helmet, I’m hit from behind.

Everything goes black as I feel arms go around me before I hit the ground, passing out completely.

Oh my God my head is pounding, and I can’t move my arms. I slowly open my eyes to see that I’m in a room with a couple of men staring at me.

“It’s about time you woke up, bitch!” a man snarls at me.

I look at him and see that he’s wearing a President’s patch on a cut.

He is disgusting and evil looking, that’s the only thing I can think, looking at him.

He has greasy brown hair, an overgrown beard, a belly that is protruding over his pants.

He has tattoos and a long scar on his face.

It finally hits me; I am looking at Rancor.

“What do you want with me?” I ask.

Rancor sneers. “You’re going to be my payback to your club.

Stone never should’ve tried stopping us.

Just because my old man got put in jail and killed, doesn’t mean that we were going to stop.

You’re going to be sold to the highest bidder.

You’re going to make me a lot of money and it’ll destroy your father in the process.

I can’t wait to see who buys you. I’m going to make sure that you’re treated the way you deserve, bitch. ”

“You think you scare me? My club will find me, and they’ll stop you! Your whole club will be put to ground!” He steps closer to me, then punches me hard. I see black again and hurt like hell, but I try not to show any emotion at all to him.

He laughs. “Oh, you’re going to be so fun to break.” He walks out of the room slamming the door behind him, locking it.

“Are you okay?” a small voice asks. I look towards the sound and see a beautiful woman, tied up about ten feet away from me .

“I think so, are you okay? My name is Saige, what’s yours? How long have you been here?”

She looks at me, “I’m Bexley. I think I’m okay, just scared.

I try not to let them see it. They took me from work a couple of days ago.

Said they were going to sell me to the highest bidder and that I would make them a lot of money.

He won’t take pictures of us right now. Said they have to get the right clothes to put on us. ”

“Where are you from, Bexley? I really love your name by the way.” I’m trying to stay calm by talking to her. She is the only other person in here.

“I’m from Texas originally, but I moved here about a year ago for a job. I’m an accountant at the Jefferson Bank.” I nod. I know that bank.

“I just opened up my bakery. Today was our grand opening. I can’t believe I was so stupid in letting Loki and Sloane leave without me.

I let my guard down. We knew that this club was around, but they hadn’t made a move or anything.

They were quiet. I’ll find a way to get us out of here, Bexley.

My dad, brother, and cousin will be looking for me. I’m not leaving here without you.”

“What was he talking about, your dad stopping them before?”

I sigh, “It was several years ago. Rancor’s dad was the president of the Ghosts of Darkness.

He was running drugs and guns through our town, along with a sex trafficking ring.

At the time, my dad was still working for the police department.

He and a few others went in, busted up the gang at the time.

Rancor’s dad, Snake, and his Sargent at Arms, Hellboy, went to prison.

They were both murdered there. It wasn’t long after that, that my dad left the department.

See our MC is mostly LEOs, former LEOs, military, firefighters, EMTs.

Not all but most of them have worked or still work in those fields.

I guess Rancor has been building up the gang and learning some new tricks since all that happened.

I’m so sorry that you are caught up in it. ”

Bexley smiles. “It isn’t your fault. And if we work together, hopefully we can get out of here soon.”

“Absolutely.” We talk a little bit more, but my head is hurting so bad that I can’t fight it anymore and fall asleep.
