Unbreakable Soldier

Legitimately in love.

--------Beau’s point of view--------

Rex has suggested we make business more legitimate. I have to say he has some pretty amazing ideas. I need to turn around this s**t show…… I know some of the boys will leave and that’s ok too. It’s time to move in a better direction. Rex reminds me that would mean no more killing no more drug slinging. I feel a lot better about things now having talked them out with him. I am allowed one more kill and I’m saving that for my father. As soon as I find the proof.

“f*****g HELL I FOUND IT BEAU!! Check this out” Rex promptly hands it over.

It’s a written contract signed by Laylas dad and my f*****g dad…… he f*****g paid $50 grand for her… not only was she to be a club w***e for everyone….she would have to be HIS …….

HIS I’m f*****g furious!!!! Hand shaking I hand it back to Rex. She was mine!!! She came to family dinners… we were in love and EVERYONE knew that back then!!

“Says here in the event he didn’t follow through…your dad would kill Laylas dad and take layla against her will!!! What the f**k man…. Laylas dad signed that” Rex seems very shocked and confused that Laylas dad would do that……I did then explain to Rex that Papa Al from the diner isn’t her actual Papa.

“What did I do? Why would my dad do this?” I’m just thinking out loud. Now I’ve got him by the balls I can’t wait till he shows up later tonight.

Staring at me Rex asks “What are you going to do?”

“I don’t know yet man. I don’t even know why he would want to hurt me like that? What would he gain from me hating him? I say looking at Rex almost dumbfounded.

“I think he was hoping you would hate her….pretty sure he would have hid this one forever….I don’t know why he kept it?” Rex tries to help me make sense of it.

All I can think about is Layla and how different our lives would have been…. Would we have had a family? Would I have been a mechanic like I always imagined?

“Drink time man lets head down “Rex says sighing.

I agree with Rex “ Yep and later tonight we need to round up all the old crew that’s still around….I want to see who knew about it, who agrees to it ……we have to be smart”

“Drinks and game plan. I got your back bro” Rex pats my back as we walk out heading downstairs.

We head out the back with some drinks and start devising a plan…… in amongst our chatter drinking and planning we hear the back door open. “Hey boss, Hey Rex” Damon says approaching us. Rex stiffens snapping “Snakes”. I nod at him still a little pissed. Damon seems shifty when he asks “Did I interrupt something? Do you want me to go?”

“Nah you’re ok what’s on your mind?” I ask him.

“Layla” Damon says softly.

 Both Rex and I almost snap our necks looking at him with rage.

Damon puts his hands up “Hey hey I’m sorry not like that…hear me out please we had lunch today”

“WHAT” I yell.

“Well I mean I saw her at Al’s and apologized and we got to talking……she is a really cool chick… we are starting a fresh!” He struggles to get out as he shifts nervously.

Rex is almost laughing and I’m just confused. “I thought I told you to stay away?” I say glaring at Damon. He starts shaking.

“B-b-boss I was just trying to make things right I swear! I didn’t over step and I bought her lunch! We were having a good chat till her boyfriend came” Damon explains.

Rex spits his drink.

“BOYFRIEND” I’m yelling again.

“Yeah that pretty boy Jase” Damon says casually like it’s no news. I feel the anger rising with me.

“Jase is just her FRIEND!” I snap

Damon looks confused “Oh ok are you sure? He called her love and they took off arm in arm getting ice creams…they looked real cozy that’s all. Then I came here” He seems genuinely confused.

My blood is boiling! What the f**k???

I stand up abruptly and storm into the club slamming s**t around. I can hear Rex chuckling! What the f**k is her laugh at! It’s time pretty boy and I have it out. I grab my keys and race over to his gym. I storm inside looking for him and spot him by the bags.

“Hey Fuckface I think it’s time we talk don’t you?” I say marching to Jase. A smirk creeps on his face and he folds his arms across his chest.

“Well well well if it isn’t the Beast himself!! To what do I owe this pleasure?” Jase says in a mocking tone.

“What’s the deal with you and Layla? Keep in mind I’m trying to hold back already” I gruffly say.

“You are NO good for Her Beast” He spits at me.

“And you’re so much better? Just because your s**t seems legitimate on the surface doesn’t mean it is. I know your business Jase remember that!” I growl at him.

“And everyone knows YOU BEAST and your history. You don’t scare me Beau! She is f*****g amazing woman and she deserves a man who is not only willing but ABLE to put her first!” He says through gritted teeth.

Now I’m seething.

Jase continues “Is that you? Are you going to give her all the love she deserves? Are you going to put her first? Is she the first thing you think about when you wake up?” He asks questioningly.

“YES for the past 10 years she is ALL I’ve wanted…..and I’m changing my life for her.. I f*****g love her Jase” I blurt out speaking honestly.

“GOOD” He Smiles

I’m angry……wait did he just say good?? I’m confused as Jase steps up to me placing both of his hands on my shoulders and smiles.

“Good because that amazing Woman LOVES YOU!! She made it clear today we are just friends and I respect that… but the second you f**k it up Beau…..” Jase Tries to continue on but I cut him off.

“I can’t f**k it up and trust me you are not the first person to say that! Looks like you’d still have competition without me being in the picture” I say with a smirk.

He chuckles and I join in.

“I have no doubt about that! You are the luckiest guy on the planet you know that right?” he asks me.

I sigh “Jesus man I came here to be all angry at you!! I was even considering punching your pretty boy face and not talking! I say calmly.

Jase starts laughing. “Who knew you were an ok guy!” He laughs out.

“Back at ya bro” I say shaking his hand but he pulls be in for a bro hug.

“Just be the man she deserves and we won’t have a problem” He says semi threateningly.

I smile at him before walking out of his gym…. I’ve got to see her my Layla. I jump on my bike and cruise to her house. I get to her door just as its opening and Amy is leaving. “Hi and bye” Amy says jumping into her car and leaving. I walk in closing the door.

“Baby?” I call to her She comes out of the kitchen. “Hey Bobo”She says with a sweet smile. I scoop her up in my arms and hold her tight breathing in her scent. It’s so good coconut with a hint of jasmine.

“Are you smelling me again?” she asks giggling. I make no move to put her down.

“It’s my favourite smell in the whole world” I explain and she giggles

“I missed you today” She says sighing.

“I’ve missed you for 7 years Layla” I say seriously. She pulls back and looks at me “I’ve missed you more baby” She smiles. I smile inhaling her deeply once more.

“I hear you’ve had a busy day” I say raising an eyebrow.

“Spying on me now are you?” She says unimpressed.

“Always “I say jokingly. I laugh and she punches me in the arm. “OWWW…. I was joking baby” I say rubbing my arm. “You better be” She says threateningly and I chuckle. We are interrupted by a knock on the front door. “You sure have made a lot of friends fast Layla” I say giving her a questioning look. She just laughs and opens the front door.

“EEEEEE HARDY” She squeals jumping into this man’s arms. He wraps his arms around her. I’m on edge instantly this big muscular tattooed leather jacket wearing, scruffy beard man has MY woman in his arms.

“Baby girl I’ve missed you” He says spinning her around a full turn before his eyes catch mine,

“What are you doing here? Are you out?” Layla sounds excited. He sighs and puts her back to her feet.

“Actually baby can we talk in private?” He asks her quietly

Baby??? In private? Who the hell is this d**k and why does every man she meets have to look at her like they are in love with her? She steps back a little and crosses her arms and says “NO HARDY”

“But baby its confidential” He pleads.

“Don’t baby Me! You didn’t come for a visit because you missed me… you came to get your ‘Weapon’ right? She sounds disappointed as she looks down.

This guy is getting on my nerves. He reaches for her and steps back again this time backing right up to me. I snake my arm around her waist and interrupt “Hardy is it? Hi I’m Beau” I say holding Layla protectively.

“Beau?” He says like he is asking for confirmation.

“Yes BEAU!” Layla speaks up

“So you made it back to your Beau baby girl that is great news! I’m sorry I’m not here for the right reasons but the team needs you…. I need you!” He says sadly

He knows about me….. I feel a smirk on my face as he calls me HER beau!! Damn straight and she’s MY Layla.

“I told you no more missions. I’m out and I meant it Hardy. I want normal. I want Life and love. I’m sick of hating, fighting and killing” Layla says with determination

“Ok ok I know let me just make a call real quick ok” Hardy says and he steps out of the house.

I turn to face Layla “I f*****g love you Layla” I say staring into her eyes. “You’re f*****g mine Beau! I love you” She replies. I chuckle cupping her face kissing her lips with so much passion.

“MMMM been to the doctor yet baby?” She sexily moans. f**k it I knew I forgot something! “Baby I have some business to take care of tonight! BUT after that I’m all yours and I’m making some changes Layla….changes for the better!! Changes for US and after tonight love normal will be both of ours” I confess to her.

“I only want you to change if you want to baby don’t do it for me!” She lightly argues

“Shhh baby I want this and have wanted this for a while. Having you back now is just perfect timing Layla I want a future with you!” I say smiling at her. She smiles so big and so warm. She wraps her arms around my neck and pulls me down to her lips in a searing kiss. “mmmm f**k baby! I’m going to the doctor right now I’ll call you later “I say reluctantly letting her go. “You better! I can’t wait much longer Beast” She says with a smirk.

I’m heading out the door as Hardy is heading back in.

“Catch ya later bro” I say to hardy.  “Good to finally put a face to the name Beau see ya” he replies. I jump on my bike happier than I have ever been and head back to the club to get ready for tonight.

----------Layla’s Point of View----------

I’m standing there looking at Hardy. I can’t believe he had the audacity to ask me to go on a mission…..the nerve of him.

“I’m NOT going with you Hardy” I say standing my ground.

“I know sis and I have to go! So how about a hug?” He says smiling warmly and I smile back walking over to him hugging him around his waist.

“Thank- you for und-under-ru u u”I try so speak when I feel a slight pinch and everything feels heavy and then darkness consumes me.

----------Jase’s point of View----------

I just finished talking to Amy and she mentioned Layla was going to teach her some self defense, so I decided I would offer her a job at the gym. She could teach every woman in town how to defend themselves. I think she will love the idea……

I stop and get her a tub of rum’n’raisin to butter her up a little to accept the job. Cheeky I know but anyway I’m just pulling up to her house when I see a man I’ve never seen before carrying her body out the door and throwing her in a van, her body is limp she isn’t conscious.

My heart is hammering in my chest. This feels so wrong; I jump from my car yelling. I get in front of the van it clips me and takes off speeding away……. I limp as fast as I can to my car and attempt to chase this van but lose it…

“f**k WHAT THE f**k??” I yell. I need to get to Beau. I speed straight to his club house and run as fast as my leg will move. I haven’t even stopped to assess the damage to my leg I have too much adrenalin running through me. I barge straight through the doors.

“BEAST……BEAU….FUCK!” IM YELLING AS MY LEG GIVES OUT  Beau comes running over.

“What the f**k happened to you? Beau asks.

“Layla he took her! She was unconscious….FUCK Beau I chased them…they ran me over my leg hurts f**k” I’m cursing trying to explain.

“WHO DID? Who took her f*****g hell Jase don’t pass out” Beau begs me.

“Scruffy looking biker guy, beard, darkish hair, leather jacket. Black van with blacked out windows…. He threw her in she wasn’t moving…Beau you have to save her !! Number plates 1AS-7VR” I say panting through the pain.

Beau yells for Rex to call the doctor then turns to Damon “Call our man in the FBI with the van description and plate details” he orders.

I grab onto Beau’s jacket when I look down and see my leg is clearly broken. I feel myself losing consciousness. “Lay-Layla” Is all I manage to say before everything goes black.
