“She’s your daughter, Lionel. Olivia was pregnant when she left you. Pregnant and trying to fucking run.”
“What the fuck do you mean, Kyle? You told me I was dumped on your doorstep.” “Well, fuck.” Kyle’s eyes bug out of their sockets. “Guess I’m a liar too?”
Kyle doesn’t hesitate. “To get you away from Jade. I knew you were going to be an issue the second I picked up on the love you both had for each other. I couldn’t have you taking what was rightfully mine. She is mine.”
“She will never be yours. You may have been able to get me away from her, but it’s my name she went to sleep whispering at night, and it’s my name she screams when I’m between her thighs, and it’s my name that is engraved into her heart. All you did was fuck with fate.”
“She was going to be better than Olivia ever was, and for a brief moment, she was—” “—until I came back.” I smirk
“Why was that?” I lean forward. “Because you can’t fuck with fate.”
“Sometimes people are just bad. There’s no reason why they’re bad, or no defining moment that made them snap, sometimes, they’re just evil.”
“Ollie?” Olivia moves forward, her eyes on Lion. “I’m sorry, Lionel. I—I didn’t have a choice.”
“You’re the woman who told me to go to the bar that day…” I whisper absently. Holy fuck.
“Where the fuck did you come from?” Kyle seethes, spitting onto the ground. “She was with me,” another voice says, and a girl I don’t recognize walks through the boys. She’s short, petite, with a round face and doe-like eyes. Her hair is dark on the top and blonde on the ends, and her blue eyes are as moody as the ocean. I don’t know who she is nor do I recognize her. The girl turns to face Wicked. I look between her and Wicked, confused. “Hey, big brother…”
“She spoke about you a lot.” “Who!” I yell, my fists clenching at my sides. “Me,” Jade whispers from the doorway, and I spin around in a rush, my teeth bared in anger.
“Over the years, I’ve been freeing girls,” Jade announces, her shoulders back.
“The first girl I freed was Poppy. After seeing her the first time you took me to the compound, curled up in the corner crying. I knew right then and there that I would not allow my part in your life to be in vain. I would use it for good.”
“You thought you were so smart, Kyle. But among all of it, you seemed to forget one thing.” “And what’s that?” Kyle snaps, and I watch as defeat drags out of his eyes.
“I was your blind spot. You conditioned me to sit like a lapdog, which I did. I battled with a lot of guilt inside of me, but there’s always one thing that would outweigh the abuse, and that’s the strength I built.
“With the help of some wealthy rich pricks, they have been able to do so much more for survivors.” My brain fuzzes. Anonymous? She turns back to Kyle. “I agreed to continue when I found out. To play your game until the right time came.” She moves to standing. “But then Royce happened, and you stole me.”
“We let them take him. Isaac needs him to bring down the buyers. There were a lot, Roy. Kyle has connections to the biggest trafficking rings not just in America, but the entire world. We owe it to those who have had their innocence stolen from them to do better than just murder.”
“Can’t, baby. Can’t let him leave here unless it’s by his skin on my back.”
“You can,” she whispers. “I’m just asking for not yet. Let them get what they need. I promise you, promise you, Isaac will get you in.
“One month.” “Six,” she replies simply, her lips over mine. “Four,” I snap, biting her bottom lip. She kisses me. “Nine.” “Fine.” That was the fucking kiss of death. “They got nine months, then he’s mine.” “Okay.”
“Seven months, Isaac. I told her nine, but you got seven months.” When I turn to face him, his eyes are weak. “I have enough information on most of his clients already, so I’ll only need seven.”
“That girl, Royce, that girl has had the worst of the worst happen to her. I wouldn’t worry about her mentally. She’s strong.
Jade is the one person on this earth that I would straight-up kill, die, bend, snap, do anything for. She had me at her feet, ready to do whatever she wanted, but what if what she wants is to let me go.
He rides my body hard, my legs clenching around his waist. His fingers come up to my chin, clenching my cheeks tight as his cock hits every nerve inside of me. He spits on my face again and I fall apart, my orgasm ripping through my body in savage tremors.
“Royce?” “Yeah?” he murmurs into my hair. “What are we?” It’s a question I should have been thinking about a lot more often than I have.
Silence. His shoulders are shaking and it’s not until I pull away from him slightly and glare up at him from below that I realize he’s laughing. “What’s funny!” I shove him.
“Oh nothing,” he says casually. “It’s just amusing that you think you’ll ever hav...

“You’re mine, Duchess. In every fucking way that is possible for a woman to be owned by a man. You’re mine.”
Wish I could say I never thought I’d have Jade sitting on my lap, all wrapped up in me, but I’d be lying. Her and I, it was inevitable. Bound to happen, it was just a matter of when time matched fate.
Ollie had to keep her death story so that they could allow the plan to wash out. I also figure Ollie is, if not the, runner of Anonymous.
Careful who you fall in love with, every girl has a crazy best friend. And if she doesn’t? She is the crazy best friend.
Poppy and I have spoken a lot since everything went down. She filled me in on the blank parts and offered me a position within Anonymous. The boys don’t know that she’s in Anon. I think they suspect something, but they can’t prove it. Mom leads that group of women like a fierce queen.
“Jade Olivia Kane, I can’t wait to fuck you, love you, and eat you for the rest of our life. Will you marry me?”
If I had to walk through hell all over again just to have my man finally beneath me, I’d do it one hundred times over. One hundred. Royce was my family before anyone else was.
Sometimes it’s not about blood. It’s about who is still standing beside you after seeing you at your worst.
I will love this man for the rest of my life, and when we both finally die, our souls will continue to find each other wherever we end...
