His Ol' Lady

Chance

Hunter’s POV

We woke up at dawn and quickly left. Isabella didn’t want to stay here any longer and she said if we did she wouldn’t know what to say. Yesterday we met her lawyer Brandon; who stands at 6’3, with light brown short curly hair, and gray eyes.

I trusted him because he looked like someone who ran with us, but I also trusted him because Isabella trusted him. Even though I think they have something holding over each other's heads.

We stopped at a restaurant after Savannah whined about eating something other than chips. So it took another hour to be on the road, but now we are back home. I am glad.

The only reason I went is to make sure the boys stayed in line and didn’t cause a fight, but I guess I wasn’t needed. It was close to seven in the morning so Isabella took her cousin to her place to rest while the rest of us went to work.

It was lunch time and everyone didn’t want to leave due to the bike; that Isabella fixed; was actually running. After a few minutes we heard a horn being honked so we all walked out to see what was going on.

We saw a black SUV with sick rims on it pulling up. Since I already saw it I knew who it was. She hopped out smiling at someone.

Once I noticed who she was smiling at, I cracked a smile. Mechanic needed someone to bring the joy back into his life. My father hired him when he was still a kid and then when he was nineteen he married the love of his life, but at twenty-three she gave birth to her beautiful baby girl and boy only to be killed two years later.

The state of the government decided that he wasn’t a rightful man to raise his kids. He’s been trying to get them back ever since, but no luck.

“Mec? What do you think?” Isabella asked.

“Wow; this is your ride?” Mechanic asked.

“Yep. This is my baby.” She said, smirking.

“This is sick! I wished my kids could see it.” He said, sadly.

“Just bring them over to my place and they could see it anytime.” She said, softly.

“I don’t have them.” He whispered.

Everyone moved away from the two so they could talk beside me, Jackson, Zachary, Damon, Zayden, and James.

“What do you mean?” She asked.

“Well, my wife; um was killed two years after having them. It’s been a couple months since I’ve seen them after the government took them away from me.” He told her.

“What are you doing to get them back?” She asked, sadly.

“I already talked to lawyers, but none would take my case nor would they fight to give me back my kids.” He told her.

“What if I could help?” She asked.

“You will really do that?” He asked.

I noticed the boys tensed up at her offer.

“Yes, but at a price. I don’t want to do this, but I need someone I could trust and you’re the only one I could trust enough to do this.” She told him.

“I will do it and anything you need in the future.” Mechanic said.

“Give me a couple days and I will get everything done for you.” She told him.

“Of course.” He said, smiling big.

“What is the price?” I asked.

“It’s none-” I cut her off before she could finish.

“He is my worker. My man.” I said.

“Doesn’t concern you nor will it hurt him or put him in prison. I will never allow him to do something that could cost his life or his kids.” She said, glaring at me.

“Besides; I already have someone doing that job.” She muttered when I didn’t speak.

“Well what could he be doing!” I yelled.

She glared at me even more, making me want to take a step back, but I stopped myself.

“Lunch is at my place! Everyone is welcomed!” She yelled.

Everyone cheered while she got into her SUV and left.

“Whatever it is, isn’t what I thought it would be.” James muttered.

“What?” Me and Mechanic asked.

“She isn’t innocent.” Jackson muttered.

“Well then what is she?” I asked.

They just walked away and went to their bikes. Mechanic did the same as everyone was leaving. A few men stayed behind to close up shop so I left heading to her place.

When I pulled up I saw everyone drinking and laughing. I walked inside to see everyone eating. I quickly made myself a plate and sat down with some of my friends.

“Who’s that?” My best friend Gilbert asked, pointing to Savannah who was hugging a man.

“That’s Isabella’s cousin.” I muttered.

“Who’s the man?” He asked.

I watched the two as they smiled at each other, but then Savannah smashed her lip to his. A few minutes later a man walked by them, but stopped and glared at them. Isabella came next to him and gasped. I got up and walked over to them.

“W-What is this?” Isabella asked once I got to them.

“W-Wait, I could explain! Please!” Savannah yelled at the two.

“EXPLAIN HOW YOU’RE KISSING HIS BEST F****** BEST FRIEND! HOW YOU MIGHT BE F****** HIS BEST FRIEND! WE WERE NOT F****** RAISED TO BE W*****!” Isabella yelled.

Everyone was now watching her and her cousin.

“Please!” Savannah begged.

“Explain then.” The man said.

“H-He has something over my head a-and i-if I d-didn’t a-act l-l-like t-the s-submissive g-good h-happy g-girlf-friend h-he w-would t-tell m-my d-dad.” She stuttered.

“What could be so wrong that you didn’t want your father to find out?” An older man asked.

We all turned and saw Mr. Ray; Isabella’s father; and another man standing there.

“Father.” Savannah muttered looking down.

“Uncle Jay! You scared the living hell out of me!” Isabella yelled.

“What is going on over here?” Isabella’s mother; Trisha, asked.

“Mother; aunty Vic. Savannah is cheating on Derek with Eden.” Isabella said.

“No! I’m not cheating! Please I just explained he forced me to because he has something over my head!” Savannah yelled.

She was crying hard, which made me feel bad because she’s pregnant.

“What is it then?” Trisha asked.

“I-I-I-” Vic cut her off.

“If this is about your damn liking girls I will personally kick you out of this family!” Vic yelled.

“VICTORIA!” Isabella yelled.

“I AM AUNTY VIC TO YOU!” The lady yelled.

I noticed everyone took a step back from her beside James.

“Just think this through! That is your father’s brother’s wife!” James said loudly.

“He took a step back not protecting her. Who side would he be on? His own flesh and blood or b***** who cheats on him?” Isabella asked.

James sighed.

“I-I liked girls, daddy, but mommy said if I told you then she would make sure I would be kicked out of the family. S-She said that you would hate me forever so she forced me to marry; Derek who knew I liked girls. I fell in love with him, but not enough to change the fact I still like girls. I’ve always liked girls and I wanted to tell you but e-everytime I-I did she would slap me and call me names. She drugged me one night with something and told my husband to get me pregnant even though I was taking birth control. I found out she switched them with painkillers. I-I can’t keep living like this! If you want me out of your life I will go, but please don’t hate me.” Savannah ranted.

Both men looked shocked while Trisha sighed and glared at Vic who glared at Savannah and Isabella along with Derek looked sad.

“Baby, girl I would never hate nor would I kick you out. Your mother lied to you. If you want a divorce I will help you, but you have to be sure that you want this and could do it with your baby.” Jay said.

“Really?” Savannah asked.

“We live an hour away. How about we move back here to be closer to your family. If we can’t fix this between us by the time you deliver the baby then we can split and get fifty-fifty custody of the baby.” Derek said, softly.

“E-Even when you know I like girls?” She asked.

“We have three months till the baby is born. If we can’t make this work between us then I will let you find love somewhere else. I will not divorce you till you find the right person to love as half of what I make would still be yours. Just let’s try to make this work till then.” He said.

“Babygirl, you have to give this to him as you’ve married him. If it doesn’t work out in three months then we could find you a place to live with the baby while he lives on his own. You two won’t get divorced till either one of you finds the one to love making whatever you make his and whatever he has yours.” Jay said.

“Give him this one chance to make you feel something for him.” Isabella begged.

“Okay, fine. I will wait till the baby is born to make a final decision, but I’d like to be here in my hometown where I’m comfortable.” Savannah whispered.

“Of course!” Derek said, loudly smiling.

“WHAT! NO! She is an embarrassment to our family!” Vic yelled.

“No, she isn't! You are the embarrassment of my family! I am divorcing you and sending you back to your family with nothing!” Jay yelled at her.

A couple people came and grabbed her, whisking her away. He hugged his daughter tightly as they could have had the last chance to see each other if she listened to her mother.

“Sorry for all of this.” Isabella told everyone.

Everyone said it was fine and that they needed to go back to work, but she made sure to tell them dinner was at her place along with a party.
