I was sitting in my favorite cafe waiting for Reighly to show up. I looked at my watch and realized that I still had half an hour until she would show. I knew that dad had a couple of his guys here somewhere making sure nothing happened to me. I know Burton wanted to be here too but if one of Landon’s guys was watching then he would be recognized. I looked at my phone again and noticed that Burton had to text me for what seemed like the hundredth time. I smiled at it cause it made me feel good that he was concerned but at that same time I was getting annoyed with him as well. I think the other guys were getting irritated with how crazy he was acting as well. “Well, this is a surprise,” Reighly said.I looked up and smiled at her. I know she was not expecting me to be pregnant. I barely had a bump but it was big enough to be noticed. I swear if Burton didn’t stop rubbing it I was gonna cut his fucking hands-off. I am glad that he is excited about this baby but he has lost his

I have stayed out of most of this for as long as I have known Darryn and Brett. I knew who Darryn’s family was and what they were involved in. I have never cared about it either. I watched all through highschool as Reighly threw herself desperately at Darryn. He never showed her any interest but he was nice to her because she was Davina’s friend. I was fucking nervous as hell the first time Darryn had me meet his family in ninth grade. I was so afraid they were going to say something to him and then they would do something to me. I was wrong. Darryn’s family welcomed me with open arms. They even gave my mother a steady job. I was so thankful when they did that for my mother. I knew the moment that Darryn laid his eyes on Kaycie that day that he was gone. I could also tell that she was very taken by him but she was scared out of her mind for some reason. When Brett’s cousin Todd told us what had happened I just about lost my mind. I thought Darryn was going to hunt the basta

I had just pulled into the garage when I heard another vehicle pull into the driveway. I climb out of my car, shut the door, and walk out to see who just pulled up. When I walk around the car I find Reighly standing there shaking and crying. It has been three days since she was up here telling us everything and handing over all those recordings. I walk over to her and hug her. She looks very upset. “What’s wrong?” I ask.She starts sobbing and grabs onto my shirt. Shit, I am not sure how to handle this. I am not good with girls crying. I can handle an emotional Davina but not this. I open the front door and walk her in. Sitting there in the living room is Alex and Kade. They look at me and I shrug my shoulders. “What is going on?” Alex asks.We sit her down on the couch and Kade gets her some water and tissues. Aled gives me a glare as if I caused this. I might be an ass but I don’t make girls start sobbing on purpose. “I have no idea. She pulled up right after me a

I heard the fire trucks fly by my new restaurant about an hour after Burton had left. I knew that Davina’s house was in the area they were headed to. I started hoping that those assholes that were causing all this trouble had not set her house on fire. Then again if they did then they get to deal not only with my nephews but also my brother Nick. I knew that would not go well. Davina is Nick and Amellya’s only child and the only girl born. She was definitely special and spoiled. He would make them pay if they had set fire to her house. I hear two more fire trucks drive by and I start to worry. I pull out my phone to call Nick when he walks into the building.“What the hell is going on?” I ask.“Reighly’s house is on fire.” He says.Oh yes, Reighly, Davina’s friend since middle school. I chuckle, she has had a crush on Darryn for years now. She is also the one that said something that made Kaycie walk off into the forest. Whatever she said caused Kaycie to stop eating and s

Aaron, Camden, and I were sitting at a table in our favorite cafe. We were outside since it was starting to be nicer during the day. It will be nice when the weather starts to warm up and we can get out of the house more. I think the women are sick of being cooped up inside because of the cold weather. It doesn’t bother Davina, Sammy, Mariah, and Reighly that much. They all grew up here and are used to the cold in the wintertime. The other women grew up in a warmer climate and are not used to it being quite this cold in the winter. All of their complaints being a dead give away. That and they have decided to vanish for a few days here and there to a warmer climate. Yeah, that didn’t go over so well with a few of the guys. “No fucking way.” I hear Camden say.Aaron and I look at him. My brother is weird but this is strange even for him. He looks at us then nods his head. The two of us follow the direction his head nods in and there standing across the street is Jared. Thi
