Chapter 65 (Beauty's Breath) (Zero)
Our thank you was letting her get a head start before we went after her. When Spade and I got back to
Kanla, the Pentagon weren't so pleased with our piss poor excuse of how we lost her.
They bought the story for what it was- Bullshit.
Their reaction didn't sit well with me, so I did some digging of my own and found out exactly who she
was. Not many people knew the answer to that question besides a handful of people and all of those
people called themselves a Satan Sniper.
It was months later when Jade found us. She was in a bad way, and confessed all her sins. Only thing
was that it wasn't really sins, just crimes of a law abiding citizen who didn't get justice.
She was a young girl seeking to avenge a sister who was sold on the black market. A father who didn't
deserve an early ending but got one anyway and a mother, who only ever wanted her kids to be happy
and was willing to do whatever it took to make it happen, even if it meant taking money from a Drug pin
to do it.
Jade was the only survivor left unharmed.
We took a year and a half to find her sister and we did. Only thing we didn't think about was the
possibility that her sister wouldn't remember her. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
It was a psychological reaction to the trauma she faced. The Club took them both in, then Jades cousin
a few months after.
We haven't regretted it. I was proud of her the day she completed her prospect time. Proud of her today
for making it this far. Today she will officially become one of us.
“Sorry Zero.”
“Don't sweat it. Lift, let's get this done then I'll take you for an ice-cream, got a feeling it's gonna be a
busy day.”
“A hot busy day.” She adds in a smile that I haven't seen in a while since the jaded girl got home.
Last fall she was kidnapped by Lucca and held as a hostage. His successful attempt to get Beauty
back. He did, for a long time.
How my woman escaped him still lay as a mystery. One of many where my woman is concerned.
A sudden thought plugs itself in my head as I lift the one side of the sofa as Jade gets the other. I am
going to be a father.
I subconsciously wanted a kid after I claimed myself a woman. A few months ago, finding out I was
going to be a father would have sent me flying off the hook. But now, with Beauty the possibilities and
limits have no bounds.
As fucking selfish as I am going to sound, I can't not think of how perfect the timing is that she is
pregnant. She wouldn't have time to hunt my brother down.
Maybe she wouldn't want to.
As for Thorn, he wouldn't kill the mother of my child, much less if she was pregnant with my kid.
He might like money but he loves his family and whether he likes it or not, Beauty is family. We’re going
to have a baby.
“What you smiling about, did Beggar show you her outfit for tonight?” Jade wiggles her eyebrows as
her forehead drips from the heat and work I have her doing.
The sofa is fucking heavy, even I am feeling the pinch.
I say nothing and focus on the task at hand and true to my word after we load the heavy piece of
furniture, I take her for ice-cream. Jade being Jade gets a shit load of food and drinks for the others.
The day goes by, with a few more rounds. One consisting of a trip to the supermarket on the outskirts
of Kanla. By four we are finally done.
“You sure you ladies don't need a hand,” I hear the husky voice of Knight as I open the bathroom door
with my towel still around my hips.
The girls’ no's follow shortly and After telling him to fuck off ends it.
The brother's face drops like a puppy who figured out it couldn't chew a bone yet.
Killer comes up the stairs with a remote controller in his left hand and a beer in his right. His leather
pants have since been swapped for a jeans and dark blue sweatshirt.
He looks half normal, but then it is Killer, he was never meant to be normal.
The wrist bands, full sleeves of tattoos and eyebrow piercing is a testament to how true that is.
“Got a call from Diamond, said she heard about the t95 going lethal. She managed to get a list of the
test subjects who were tested with the drug. She'll have the list sent to us by the end of the night.
Wanna check it out with me later?”
He asks Knight and me. We both agree. I think most of the brothers would. We have been needing
some action around here.
The women scream as they ooh and aah each other from the other side of the door we are standing in
front of.
The three of us look to the white door. I flinch when I hear Whisp and After whistle.
“If I hear those women squeal one more time....” Killer leaves that statement untouched as he marches
past me, to his room and slams the door.
“Somebody is moody,” Knight Shrugs his shoulders and knocks again on After's door.
I chuckle with a shake of my head as I go to Spades room and change into denim pants, and a blue,
black shirt. Once I'm changed, I head downstairs to the bar where the rest of the brothers sit and watch
Kansas City and New England Patriots.
And it is not the first time today I imagine doing this with my pops, the brothers and my kid. I am going
to be a father.
