Present day

Five months later

No one ever said being a man in my position would be easy. Which is for damn sure. At the age of twenty-five, I took the President’s chair, and in the last four years of holding it, it’s been one headache after another. My VP, Nines, being that he was the Prez’s son, thought it was his birthright to take the seat. But that’s not how our club does shit. The founding members put into place a rule that the President of each charter had to be voted into the chair. My brothers picked me and Stoney, the Prez of the national charter, as well as Hammer, Twister, and Grinder all agreed, I was a good fit for the position.

Nines didn’t take too kindly to this and tried to do some shit that caused him to be sent out as a Nomad to clear his head. I couldn’t lose him as a VP or a brother because the man’s my best friend still. When he’d come back, it was as if he were a different man. It was as if the man himself had grown beyond his years. Don’t know what the hell he did while on the road, but he’d left for six months, came back, and resumed his seat at the table. This he did after making a verbal apology to all of his brothers.

My cell phone rings and dances around on the table as someone knocks on my door to the office. My new office that I’d taken over when I switched with Nines nearly five months ago after doing something that I hated myself for. But it was necessary. Or so I thought. I didn’t think it would push her to leave altogether, only to move on from what she feels for me.

I’m not blind for knowing she thought herself to be in love with me, but that shit can’t happen. For one, I don’t want to ever put a target on her back. More than it already is with her being a brother’s daughter. For another reason, the woman is smart as hell and deserves to go to college to do something with her life rather than being stuck here as an ol’ lady. Nothing wrong with any of the women around here having that title, but for me, it just ain’t gonna happen.

Therefore, I’d done what I had to for Storm’s sake. I knew she’d come find me. It’s why I avoided her as much as possible. When the chance struck and those three bitches who came to Storm’s grad party, came on to me, I took advantage and had them in my office. One riding my cock, one riding my face, and the last riding my fingers while suckin’ the tits of one of the other two.

In the midst of it all, I’d seen the horror and hurt on her face that I’d choose to fuck three bitches than to be with her.

Sighing, I pick up my phone while yelling out for whoever it is to come in.

Glancing down at the phone, I furrow my brow at the unknown caller. Shaking my head, I ignore it. Unless you’re one of my brothers or someone I need to speak with, I don’t answer unless I absolutely have to.

The door opens, and I look up to find Sniper coming in with a grim expression on his face. “What’s wrong?” I demand as my heart plummets down to my stomach. Please tell me it doesn’t have anything to do with Storm.

“I just got a call from Tracker, Prez. I gotta get to Nerd. He and his ol’ lady have been in an accident. Fuckin’ didn’t even know my kid had an ol’ lady. I need Rain and Storm to stay here at the clubhouse. Rain’s already here. But I’ve sent Shiner and Torch to get her from the cabin,” Sniper says gruffly.

“Nerd okay?” I ask on a somewhat relieved breath.

“Don’t know yet. Just got the call from Tracker after it happened, they were still on the scene. Gotta get out of here and get to him. All I know is that Rain and Storm both need to be here where I know they’re safe.” I don’t blame him for wanting the women in his life safe while he goes and takes care of his son.

“You know we’ll look after the two of them while you go see to Nerd. Call me when you get there and let me know what’s going on and if you need anything,” I inform him with a nod.

Nodding, Sniper looks to want to say something else but holds himself back from doing so.

Turning on his heel, my brother leaves my office, and I go back to sitting in my chair behind my desk. Needing to know what’s going on as a precautionary measure, I snag my phone up off the desk and shoot a text to Stoney. I know he’ll text me with the information soon as he can.

Until then, I get back to work and brace myself for seeing the girl I’ve watched grow into a young woman and refuse to allow myself to have. Storm being here at the clubhouse will be utter torture for me, as I’m sure she most definitely hates me now after what she witnessed.

Throwing the pen on top of the stack of papers, I furrow my brows. Something’s not adding up with the books. I know it’s not on our end. Not only have I checked the numbers, but so have Surge and Nines. They’d brought this to my attention, and I’d told them I’d take a look before we took this any further. Seeing that they’re both right, I need to call church.

This isn’t some small amount of money we’re talking about that’s gone missing.

No, we’re talking about nearly half a mil vanishing, and we need to find it. It’s money that belongs to the club, and whoever took it is
