Soul. He’s invested in you and your brothers. Finding me is only the icing. You and your brothers are the cake,” Mags breathes.

I swear, I want to snap her neck. I was stupid to ever help her. Knowing it’s possible Mags has now dragged my brothers into this shit has me fuming.

Most of all, I’m pissed because I know I’ll most likely help her again. Not because of her, but because of who I am. I won’t let Jemma be thrown under the bus like I should.

I’m all she has. The rest of our family ain’t shit. It’s the reason Jemma is so fucked up now.

I need them both where I have eyes, until I can sort this all out. I don’t trust them out of my reach. For that reason, they’re staying.

“Get your shit.” I point in Mags face. “Stay the fuck away from my woman. If you two start any shit, you’re on your own. Eva’s my priority, I need to keep her safe.”

“Why the—” Mags starts.

“Finish that sentence and you’re on your own. For all I know, you could have led trouble right to our door. You’re lucky I don’t leave you to the wolves.”

I turn and leave Mags standing with her mouth hanging open. I don’t have time for this shit. I need to get to the bottom of this before it blows back in my face.

I storm into the clubhouse ready to track Eva’s ass down. I feel Jemma following behind me, but I don’t want to talk to her right now. I’m pissed as fuck.

“Brick,” she says nervously behind me.

I whip around, ready to lay into her, but I stop as I see the tears run down her cheeks. Jemma isn’t a big crier. She has to really be going through something to break down.

I heave a heavy sigh and pull her into my arms. “I’m going to need you to stop getting into this shit,” I say into the top of her hair.

“My baby is going to need me to stop getting into this shit.” She sniffles. I pull away and look at her with disbelief.

“You’re shitting me, Jemma,” I groan.

She shakes her head. “I fucked up. David didn’t just fall for me. I fell for him. Mags is lying. She knew David was taking me to Brazil. I was supposed to tell him about the baby. She was pissed…”

“Wait, what?” I fume.

“She told David to take me to Brazil. I think she was trying to set me up, but it blew up in her face. She didn’t factor in David’s relation to Miguel. It was the one thing she didn’t know about,” Jemma whispers and looks around. “I don’t trust her or a word she says.

“Listen Brick, I haven’t talked to David. I don’t know if Miguel is really after the Lost Souls or if Mags is trying to drag y’all into this to save her own ass. Something’s not right, but if I don’t help her, I’m going to get me and my baby killed. She has lost her mind.”

“Really, you’re just figuring that out?” I snort.

“I know I fucked up. I was wrong for what I did. Please help me and my baby. David’s gone. I don’t know what Mags did, but he up and left. I told her not to go to him for help, that I would get you to fix this, but she must have dragged him further in. I’m sorry to bring this to the club’s door,” she’s sobbing now.

I bite my fist as I pull her into my arm. I have a whole lot of shit that needs fixing. I don’t make idle threats. It’s about to get real fucking uncomfortable for some.

“Brick,” King bellows my name as I come from the room I set Jemma up in. Far away from where I plan to have Magdalene staying.

I curse under my breath. I am finally making my way to Eva. My lips pinch when I see Mags over at one of the pool tables trying to gain some attention. No one with two ounces of sense is going to entertain her.

I push her out of my mind for now. I’ll be making a phone call later. I still need more facts to make sure Jemma and my little cousin on the way are okay.

I follow King’s retreating back into his office. I close the door behind me and lean against it. King takes a seat behind his desk and props his feet up
