Chapter 10
Mekhi paced back and forth from the living room to the bedroom with his phone glued to his ear. He’d been calling Rylee since the night before, but she had yet to answer. After his meeting at the biker’s club, he came home preparing to apologize, but she wasn’t there. He waited up all night for his wife to come back, but here it was Sunday evening, and she had yet to return. She turned her phone off, so there was no way for him to get in touch with her. He’d been calling Zyra and Amber’s phone for the past three hours, and neither woman answered. Mekhi knew that the two of them knew where Rylee was, but they would never rat her out. He felt like he was losing his mind and the quietness of his empty house wasn’t helping. He thought about driving around to find her, but he didn’t want her to come home and not find him there. He was conflicted, and he had a headache that just wouldn’t go away. When Mekhi’s phone started ringing, he got excited until he realized that it was his work phone. When he saw that the call was restricted, he already knew that it was someone that he didn’t want to talk to. He hit the ignore button and put the phone away. A few seconds later a text message came through with a picture of a naked woman. Any other time he would have been happy to see it, but he could care less right now. He quickly deleted the picture and sat down on the sofa. Although Rylee never touched his work phone, Mekhi still tried to be extra careful. Most of the numbers that called were restricted, and he erased all of the text messages and pictures right after they came through. The women who sent things through his phone did it with an app, so Rylee wouldn’t be able to know who they were if she did see it. He could easily lie and say that it was a wrong number if it ever came down to it.
“What!” Mekhi yelled when he finally answered the phone.
It rung six times within three minutes, and it was getting on his nerves.
“Did you forget about your daughter’s nursery bill?” Shay yelled over the phone. “You haven’t paid it in over a month, and she can’t go back until it’s caught up.”
Mekhi blew out a breath of frustration. Rylee had his stress level on high, and he didn’t have time for anything else at the moment. He could care less about the bullshit that Shay was spitting.
“I don’t know who the fuck you think I am, but you better keep it moving with all that squawking. I got too much on my plate as it is. I don’t have time for the added theatrics,” Mekhi replied.
“All I ask you to do is pay Mekhya’s nursery bill so that I can go to work to keep a roof over her head.
