IVY'S POV
They kept me locked up like a bird in a cage.
Jace refused to let me go and when I threatened to leave without his knowledge he made his men lock my door, so much for coming back to pay my respects, no one respects me here I should have stayed back.
But stay back and do what?
Go back to the bar and just pretend the ring in my hand was stolen, if they ask what will I say?
My supposed fiancé claimed he never loved me and introduced me to his pretty blonde girlfriend, frustration was eating me up and the more I think about it the angrier I become.
I sniffed, wiping the tears from my cheeks, just then the door opened and who I never expected to see in my room walked in. His intimidating physique made my room look tiny and he raised his eyebrows at me when he saw me on the ground.
"What do you want?" I look away, there was no energy left in me to banter. All I wanted to do was hit something.
"Your brother sent for you, are you okay?" He asked, his tone was genuine but I wasn't feeling warm at that moment.
"What do you think? Do I look okay?" I glared at him and dragged my heavy body off the ground, I wavered as the piercing headache persisted, Zain closed the distance between us holding my shoulders.
"If you are feeling down then we can-"
"Let's just go and see what Jace wants so he can let me go" I disrupted and left the room, he followed closely behind me as if I was going to fall and break my neck.
Jace was drinking whiskey sitting on father's chair behind the desk in his study. I sat down across from him while Zain shut the door and stood beside me.
"I want you to follow Zain to pick up a delivery," He said.
"Why?" I requested scowling.
"Because you are back, and you can't be slacking off" He replied casually.
"I'm not back! I told you I wanted to leave but you insisted that I stay" I pointed out.
"Just go to the delivery, I will let you know if you can leave when you get back" He dismissed, I was trembling in rage when I walked out of the study.
I was grateful Zain didn't follow me back to my room.
I changed my clothes and put on a black jumpsuit paired with black boots and a black jean jacket, I tied my hair into a bun and left my room.
When I got downstairs, Zain was waiting leaning on his bike with a helmet tucked under his arm.
"I thought I was getting a car" I sighed.
He lifted his gaze from his phone and looked at me, I sucked in a deep breath under his intense gaze then he gave me a lazy smile.
"You're all dressed up, Princess" He teased in a throaty tone.
"Let's just get this over with," I rolled my eyes taking the helmet from him, his fingers brushed mine and I ignored the butterflies in my stomach.
This isn't the time to be flirting.
He mounted the bike and I followed, the thrill of riding after a long time filled me but I was cautious of touching Zain, I put on the helmet and wrapped my hands loosely around his bulky torso.
"Hold on tight" He ordered revving his engine.
I ignored him and he sped off, my chest slammed on his hard muscled back at the force of impact, "Will you slow down!" I screamed over the wind.
He ignored me and increased his speed instead. I tightened my grip hating how my breasts were crushed on his back. The asshole must be enjoying it because he didn't complain or slow down.
We got to the meeting point and waited for the delivery, Zain ordered me to stay back and watch while he talked to the guy. Soon more bikes surrounded us and Zain spoke with them in hushed tones.
I despised how the other bikers were giving me disgusting looks, and one of them walked in my direction.
"Are you Zain's Lady?" He asked using the term for bikers' women.
"Why do you ask?" I demanded, he dragged his gaze to my ass, and licked his lips.
"I haven't seen you around before-"
"Turn around and walk away" I cut off his speech and checked if Zain was still with the guy. He was holding a parcel in his hand, while the guy grinned and took an envelope from him.
"Don't play hard to get with me now girl. I can ask him to give you up for exchange, who knows, I might give him a bag of coke and he would let me bend you over" He said out loud his friends whooping and urging him to go for it.
This is why I left all these behind, they only think of women in this world as objects they can exchange and do as they please.
Zain must have known something was going on and he came back, a scowl on his handsome face when he saw the guy.
"f**k off Xander" He snapped.
"Relax man, I was just admiring the view" The disgusting guy replied.
"If you don't want to leave without eyes then I suggest you look away" Zain threatened coldly, switching to his enforcer tone.
Scary and hot as hell.
Just as the jerk was about to reply, more bikes approached us, my eyes widened when I spotted the rifles before they fired into the air.
Iron Saints!
How the f**k did they find out we are here?
"Get down Ivy!" Zain barked.
He tossed a pistol at me and I caught it mid-air swinging one leg over the bike dismounting, I shot at the bastards and hid behind Zain's bike.
More yelling and more gunshots, the bikers were shooting back but we were outnumbered as they surrounded us.
It dawned on me that this was an ambush.
Zain!
Where the f**k did he go?
