Chapter Fourteen

Zoe

There was still so much he didn't know about me. I should just keep my mouth shut, but then omitting the truth was just as bad. He obviously trusted me. The man wasn’t stupid. Now that I knew he was working against the club, there was no reason for him to lie.

For years, I of the clubs to sweep me off my feet and take me somewhere e to sweep me off my feet and take me somewhere else. Now, here he was, and I couldn’t believe it. The situation was far different from what I had expected, but my prayer was answered. I should be happy to find out that he wasn’t indeed one of the bad guys my brother turned, but I’m not. Was it worse that he was going against my family? So had I. One of these days, I was going to get far away from here, and this gave me the opportunity to do it even sooner. There would be repercussions though.

I pulled my knees up to my chest, feeling the fabric of my worn jeans against my skin. Resting my head on the soft cushion of the sofa, I couldn’t help but question my actions. What the hell was I doing? This went against everything my family had ingrained in me. Memories from my childhood flooded my mind - the echoing voices of my parents, their words teaching me to protect our own at any cost. But now, as I sat here alone, I couldn’t deny the truth. My father, flawed as he was, had never been the best man. The isolation at school, the lack of friends, all because of who my parents were. In that moment, my thoughts turned to Gunner. We were never meant to find ourselves in this position. We had shared such grand aspirations, but when our father was brutally taken from us, our dreams seemed to dissipate like smoke. The weight of uncertainty pressed against my chest, making it hard to breathe. I couldn’t help but wonder what our lives would have been like if we had managed to escape before they ended our father’s life. Maybe, just maybe, Gunner wouldn’t have felt the relentless pull to take over the club.

This was all just so fucked up. I didn’t know how we got so far down this rabbit hole. We were better than this. Going places! And yet here I was, making the biggest decision of my life. Turn on my brother or countless innocent lives taken by protecting him.

Fuck! If I had never met Eli that night, then this wouldn’t be happening. I was covering for the other bartender. Oh, how different this situation would be if I hadn’t fallen for him first thing. And a part of me still wondered if he did seek me out to follow orders, at first, and then he started falling for me. It made sense. After all, I was his sister, and Eli was good looking. Maybe his superiors figured his charm would work on me, and I would just give him up.
