On the plus side, I look pretty hot in my long red dress.It’s off-the-shoulder, and clings to my every curve.My black hair is down, and my eyes are smoky.I’m currently at the bar with Atiana, Lu, Belle, War’s sister, Isla, who is with one or both of the twins, and Ora, who made the most beautiful bride.
And we are doing shots.
I’m more than a little tipsy by this stage, so when Isla asks me, “What’s the deal with you and Ghost?”I can’t help but sigh.
“You’ve been here for one day, and you’ve already picked up on that, huh?”
“You both keep looking at each other when you think the other one isn’t looking.”
“Xanthe likes to hold a grudge,” Lu pipes up, taking a sip from her glass.Her engagement ring sparkles on her finger.“You should just forgive him.”
“He let Daisy suck his dick!”I scowl, looking over at Ghost in anger.I clearly can’t let it go.I don’t even mention the fact that he called her.
“Who is Daisy?”Isla asks, and I block out the conversation as they explain to her that Daisy is Natalia’s biological mother.Yeah, it was a surprise when that came out.I wasn’t sad to see Daisy leave here, but I do feel bad for sweet Natalia, who didn’t deserve to have her mother leave her at the hospital.
The bitch just keeps on ruining lives.
Breaking away from the group, I head toward the bathroom when a large, muscular body stops in front of me.Glancing up, I look into Haze’s amber eyes.
“You have a minute?”he asks, nodding his head toward the hallway.“I want to talk to you about something.”
I glance around, but no one seems to be paying us any attention.Ghost is talking with Prez, the two of them in what seems like a deep conversation.
“Okay,” I murmur, following behind him.I’m not super close with Haze, but being friends with Lu means I’ve been around him enough to feel comfortable with him.Still, I have no idea why he wants to talk to me alone.I’m tipsy and really need to pee.
“Ghost is a good man,” he starts, and my eyebrows rise.
Is he here to talk up his club brother?
He smirks and rakes his hand through his hair.“Look, I don’t know how to say this, so I’m just going to spit it out.I asked Ghost to take Daisy aside that night.I needed something from her, and I asked him to get it for me.”
Any humor I might have felt vanishes.“You asked him to let her suck his dick?”
He winces and shifts on his feet.“No, but I needed a blood sample from her to find out if her baby was mine.It was how we proved it wasn’t.Ghost didn’t want Daisy.He’s never fucked her, and he wouldn’t have had anything to do with her if I didn’t ask him.”
Fucking hell.
Clenching my jaw, I process what he’s telling me.“So he went up there with her, for the club, knowing it would hurt me.”
The reality of the situation hits me in full force.The club will always come first, no matter what.
Yes, we weren’t officially together, so maybe I have no business being hurt.But we did have something big that only comes around once in a lifetime.
And he went up there with her.
For the club.
Yes, I know he didn’t finish, but she still had her mouth on his dick.
OnMY dick.
“And why did he call her?”I ask, wanting all the information.
Finally, the truth is coming out.
“We needed to find her.She was going to give birth, and we knew the kid could have been one of ours, and it was.”
“Why didn’t Ghost just tell me this?”I ask, frowning.I mean, it doesn’t change what happened with Daisy up in that room, but it does explain the phone call.
