Everyone turns to look at her.
“The timing,” she continues. “Iron gets arrested the morning of my wedding. That’s not random. Whoever turned him in wanted maximum chaos. Wanted me vulnerable, the club leaderless, everyone scrambling.”
I watch her connect the dots I’ve been circling for days.
“So we’re not just looking for someone who wanted Iron gone,” she says. “We’re looking for someone who wants me delivered to Marcus.”
Silence falls over the room.
“That narrows it down,” Ash says slowly.
“Yeah.” Bonnie meets his eyes. “Because not many people knew about the wedding that far in advance. And even fewer would benefit from me marrying into Savage Legion.”
“We should talk privately,” I say.
Everyone looks at me. Ash’s eyebrow raises.
“Just the three of us,” I clarify, looking at Ash and Titan. “Before we discuss this further.”
Bonnie’s expression shifts. She knows I’m excluding her.
“Why?” she asks.
“Club business.”
“I’m part of this club?—”
“Five minutes,” I tell Ash. “That’s all I need.”
Ash studies my face, then nods. “Everyone else, take a break. Back here in ten.”
The brothers file out. Bonnie stays seated, jaw set.
“That means you too,” I say.
“The hell it does.” She grips the armrests. “If you have something to say about me, say it to my face.”
Ash closes the door after the last brother leaves. Titan crosses his arms and leans against the wall. The four of us are alone in the room.
“What’s this about?” Ash asks me.
I take a breath. Choose my words carefully. “The timing bothers me.”
“What timing?” Bonnie asks.
“Your father gets arrested the morning of your wedding. Federal agents with warrants and evidence. Someone fed them detailed information with perfect timing.”
Bonnie’s face goes pale. “You think I did it.”
“I think the coincidence is too convenient to ignore.”
“Coincidence?” Her voice rises. “My father getting arrested is a coincidence?”
“The timing is what bothers me,” I repeat. “Same day as your wedding. The same morning, Jackal texts you to run. Everything lined up too perfectly.”
“So you think I set up my own father?” She stands despite the pain it clearly causes. “That I betrayed my family to get out of marrying Marcus?”
“I think you might know something you’re not telling us.”
