“I didn’t…” Bill trails off, glancing away.
“Didn’t what?” Haidyn demands.
“I didn’t want you to know about her,” he answers softly, as if ashamed.
“That wasn’t your decision to make,” Haidyn shouts.
“Look at what she’s been through,” Bill tries to reason with him. “What your father put her through. Do you really think she wants to know you?” He steps up to Haidyn, and I brace myself to take Bill down if they start swinging. I need to knock the fuck out of someone right now. I can barely handle the rage I feel after what I just found out Eve has been through. “She’s known about you all her life. Everett was raised at Carnage. She’s also aware you’ve been living there since your father was killed, and she has chosen to not want you in her life.”
Haidyn shakes his head, not wanting to accept that she didn’t want to know him. “And you?” He glares at Adam. “You knew she was my sister and didn’t tell me?”
Adam swallows and glances away from us.
I understand why no one told me. They didn’t know I’d fallen in love with the gorgeous blonde the night of our initiation on the yacht. But to keep something like this from Haidyn is pretty fucking shitty. Even for Adam.
“How long have you fucking known?” Haidyn demands.
“Four years,” Adam admits softly.
Haidyn steps forward, but I grab his upper arm. He spins around to face me. “How are you not as pissed as I am? They kept her from us.” He points at Gavin. “Even him.”
“I am. But not at them. I’m pissed about what she’s been through. That she’s known she had a brother and has chosen not to come to you.” She must feel so alone. I know what it feels like to have no one, even when you know they are there. I never want her to feel that way again.
The conversation that Eve and Adam had while I hid in her closet comes to mind. “No. Bill knows I want nothing to do with them.”She didn’t want to be around me because it would lead to her being around Haidyn. And Carnage? It must have taken a lot for her to finally step inside that place to be there with me. To feel safe there after Garrett hid her there.
“Are you blaming me?” Haidyn snaps at me.
“No,” I say through gritted teeth and look at Bill. “You said that Garrett had found use for her. What the fuck does that mean?”
He peers at Haidyn and then Saint. My pulse picks up for a different reason when he clears his throat. “She was to be their personal breeder.”
I fucking knew it.Motherfucker.“You’re saying Garrett…her own father…raped her?” He saidtheir, which can only lead me to believe all of our fathers.
“Surely Garrett wouldn’t?—”
“He was a disgusting son of a bitch,” Haidyn interrupts Saint but keeps his attention on Bill, waiting for him to answer my question. “I put nothing past him.”
Bill rubs the back of his neck. “He did. They all did.”
I run a shaking hand down my face, letting out a shaky breath.
“Unbelievable,” Saint hisses to himself.
“In the video. The kid said that she had been pregnant but was sterilized. Why would my father allow that to happen if the Spade brothers wanted to use her as a breeder?” Haidyn asks, confused.
“It’s why she tried to commit suicide,” Adam answers. “She caused the wreck on purpose after she found out she was pregnant. That’s why the medical records state a miscarriage. Garrett found her shortly after…”
“Eve survived, but the fetus did not. There was extensive internal damage that resulted in a hysterectomy,” Gavin explains. “She was in a coma for two weeks.”
“Christ,” Saint whispers.
“You treated her?” I snap at Gavin.
“Not then. Only after Bill retrieved her from Dollhouse,” he rushes out. “And…” Gavin trails off.
“And what?” Haidyn growls.
“She was lucky to survive both times,” Gavin finishes, and I watch Haidyn flinch at his words.
