"Hot spicy romance never ends well daisy, I told you he was no good" Mia said  as she walked into the sitting room and handed me a  cup of water.

I dragged the napkin beside me and blew my nose in it before turning to face  her.

Mia didn't say a word, instead she just sat on the couch  opposite me watching me drown in  my  sorrows.

It's been two days since I turned down Callum's offer to me and handed it to his mistress.

Daisy, I know it hurts but you can't keep crying over  a man who wouldn't even look at you.

I cleaned the tears in my eyes as I looked at her"It's not that, I loved  him regardless of how he treated me but the fact that he left me with nothing in his will knowing that I have  nothing to run back to".

Mia looked at me  curiously,did  they tell you what happened or do you think he is the one that did it? 

The tears instantly dried from my eyes as I thought about what she had just  said.

There was no way in hell that he had a hand in it, Christian  might be ruthless and most importantly hated  my husband but I don't think that he would kill him.

You talk as if you know the man, you know people say that he can't keep a woman and his family had carried on the legacy of his club and you know he had a huge history with Callum.

"Well, if he did, I would  say  Callum got what he deserved, he had it coming"

MIA signed and smiled as she took  the cup of  water from my hands.

Well ,I know you wouldn't want to do this , but a friend of mine is having a wedding and he had asked me to come with a friend and since you are here, I think it's best that you come with me.

You told  me  you wanted to be  away from anything that reminded you of him, well take this as a way of getting away from Callum, his club and his men.

Do you think he still has his men watching me? 

Mia sighed, giving me a reassuring look. "I'm  sure they would just want to look after you nothing else, well they must know that you  have  moved on" 

I nodded satisfied with her reply, as Mia  walked away , I could only imagine what would have happened if I didn't have her.

Mia  is my best and the only girl  friend I didn't cut off  after my marriage.

As for my parents I know they must have heard of his death considering that he had so  much leverage on the town.

My dad wouldn't take me back , he hated me for what I did , he was the town sheriff and all my life he had trained me  to stay away from them ,to him they were barbarians  he hated them but  his precious daughter married one.

The money I had with me was the 5 million I had saved up in my account over the course of our marriage and now I just needed to start afresh with it.

**************

Over the weekend just as Mia had promised,  she flew  us over to the wedding .

We had just arrived at the biggest resort  where the  wedding was going to be held and right now we were walking towards  the bar to have a drink when someone stopped her.

"Mia,and who is this princess you brought?" The guy who had stopped us asked.

When I looked at him , he was big like my ex husband, blonde hair that was styled down.

My best friend  Daisy  and Daisy  meet Humphrey, the bride's brother. 

"Nice to meet you pretty"the  boy  whispered  as he slowly took my hands and kissed my palm.

When he bent closer to kiss it , I noticed it , the mark on his neck , that sign. I knew that sign, it  was the crest of the hell-hounds motorcycle club my ex  husband rivalry club.

I swallowed as I turned to face Mia, giving her the faintest smile as we walked  away.

You didn't see that, did you ? 

See what ? She asked me

The crest on his neck , the mark? 

Oh darling Mia said looking at me like I had gone nuts.

I don't think he  belongs to any motorcycle club and even if he did, it  wouldn't be the rivalry club of your ex husband so relax. We are out of town  and Callum is dead , you said you wanted a  life  away from that you have to move on.

I swallowed, speechless , but I knew  she was right. I was just seeing things, but the last thing I wanted to do was to be seen in the midst of my husband's rivalry club just a week after his death, that would cause so much trouble and I didn't  want that.

Instead of the bridal shower the bride  wanted a party and right now I was at the biggest pre wedding party ever.

Mia  had mixed  up with the crowd , dancing away her sorrows while I sat  enjoying the drinks  but something about what I had seen made me nervous, more nervous than I imagined.

From the loud music blasting over the speakers,I could hardly concentrate , the bride and  the  groom were dancing and rocking so hard they seemed to be so much in love with each other.

But as I sat there sipping my drinks, all I could feel was the eyes on me , it felt like someone was watching me, my every  move.

I  looked back but all I saw was nothing, just the men beside me.

Mia,I called out to her hoping that she would listen to me and  get me the hell  out of here but when  I turned and again my eyes met his hot gaze.

Just  like I had predicted, I was being watched, but no I wasn't being watched by what I thought but him.

The man I was warned to stay away from, The one I had suspicions about, my husband's enemy.

Christian Blackwood.

Beside him was a helmet he had placed on the shelf and on his  right hand  was his drink.

As I looked at him, my hands began to sweat, the fear gripping me so hard but I couldn't look away.

I had never seen the man before, I only heard things about him but I have  seen his photos but this time it wasn't a photo he was here.

He pulled his eyes away from me and then his eyes went around the area as if he was watching for some kind  of threat.

I pulled my eyes away grabbing the drink on the table as I glumped it down as my eyes rolled back to the man watching me.

Unlike what I have  heard of him , he was  tall, maybe a six foot-four or a six foot-five  and somehow when he looked at me I melted. He was hot like a real Ian  somerholder____Damon  Salvatore.

I couldn't help but notice the  bold tattoos creeping up over  his neck, his arms, forearms, and fingers.

His dark hair is styled  short but not without one little string falling out  and the crest of his motorcycle club  boldly  tattooed  on his neck.

He  glances towards my direction again , his stare cold but hot and when I see the mischievous smile creep up to the corner of his lips I knew I was in trouble.

"You can't just leave, the wedding is tomorrow" Mia yelled behind me  as I grabbed the last cloth  on the bed and hurriedly put it inside my bag.

Daisy, don't do this,if you leave.Where will you go? 

"I don't know Mia,I don't know , he's here,Christian is here" I whispered to her trying to catch my breath.

Mia lips trembled slightly but nothings come outs 

"She knew, oh my god, she knew that he was here and didn't say a word about it.

I'm sorry, but if I told  you about him being here you would have bolted out and I didn't want it.

"You can't be serious Mia, for fuck  sake, Christian Blackwood the president of the hellhounds motorcycle club and my ex husband  rival is out there and you didn't think that it was right you told me about it?

What happens when Callum men finds out that I was in the same place with his enemy, he might be dead but his men aren't and I know they are watching me.

You  know the history mia, the generational dispute.

 I can't be in the middle of that and you as my best friend should have known better than this.

I didn't wait for Mia to defend herself anymore,so I grabbed my bag and  headed straight to the elevator. I didn't mind if I had to  order a ride out of this place. I just don't care.

I took the elevator,ignoring Mia's scream behind me telling me how sorry she was saying he was the groom's friend.

Who gives a fuck if he is the groom  friend.

The moment the elevator closes up,someone pulls me from behind and slams me  hard against the wall, not in a hard or hurtful way.

My breath stops and tightens against my chest when the hands  crawl up from behind me and stop on the wall.

I knew that hand, it had  the same tattoo on the finger I saw.

Christian Blackwood, the president of the hellhound MC is right  behind me , his body is pressed against me in an immoral way  and his hot breath was on my neck.

I breathing hinges as I closed my legs  and  he slowly slides his   other hands down my waist .

I closed my eyes waiting for the worst possible thing to happen to me, I have heard ruthless things about him mostly from my husband and how he goes for his prey(the people that goes against him) 

I only guess that my husband had offended him and he killed him and now he was here to take me with him.

Christian  lowered his breaths to my neck and that directly sent chills to my body.

He   slowly slid my hair to the side  and I  jumped back to consciousness  to remember that I was pressed Christian Blackwood in an ungodly manner.

"Running from me little pet" he lets out slowly.

 His voice sounded cold, but raspy and enticing, that kind of voice that could make you melt off in his arms and pull off your panties.

"Please" I begged  when I finally found my voice.

"Even more prettier and sexier in person than I thought" he said again and this time the tears that I had been holding slowly slid down my eyes.

He wouldn't take advantage of Me, Christian could have any woman that he wanted  and not me.

"How about you become mine, your husband is six feet under and I can only imagine his reaction to me touching you unless he isn't"

Christian hot breath is  still on my neck but the only words that I could think of at that moment were his last Statement.

The hot breathing against my neck suddenly stops and my legs give away.

I turned  to see him resting at the far edge of the elevator,his gaze never leaving me and the smile  at the corner of his lips.

The  air in the elevator is so small,  I can  hardly breath 

In  that instant, I felt useless and used

What  did he think of me? Did  he think that I was just some widow that he could take  advantage of?

My husband had humiliated me his whole life and now his rival  wouldn't let me be.

"I only want to say my condolences Mrs  Horace" he said  as the elevator door binged  indicating that we were at the last floor.

 When the elevator opened ,I was still struggling to catch my breath and  Mia was waiting.

Christian had a look of satisfaction on his face when he walked out. He was pleased by my reaction and the horrible look Mia  had on her  face.

That instant something  ignited inside of me.

 I was tired of being used.

When the thought came into my head,I knew I was going to regret this.

"Christian "I called  out, making him stop  and then he turned to me again.

The smirk showing on his face.

 "Do you want more baby?" he says Calmly but sultry, making Mia gasp.

Ignoring my friend's horrified expression   I walked towards him and  stopped right in front of him.

I don't care whatever rival you and Callum had but that is not my business, keep me out of it.

He didn't respond but instead he just looked at me like I was talking to myself.

I knew what he was doing ,daring me.

Ignoring the raging voice in my head telling me not to do it, I did it. I smacked him hard across the face.

I slapped Christian Blackwood, the man no one dared to mess with.

A smile crept to the  corner of his lips, not anger  but amusement 

Oh! His voice dipped in satisfaction. You've got some fire in you, I love that.

"I would be waiting for your call little pet" he  whispers calmly enough for me to hear alone and then turns and walks out leaving  me in  shock

Mia and I returned back from the wedding two days  ago but neither of us had talked about what happened.

Mia apologized to me for lying and I forgave her , she's the only friend I have and  I didn't plan on being mad at her for long.

The two men who had found  Mia's address  handed me the white piece of paper and  I looked at  it, unable to understand what they were saying.

What do you mean by "my husband ran into some kind of debt" ? I asked the man who had a big mark  on  his face and was dressed in a black  suit.

Mrs Horace, your husband ran into  debts  before he died and he sadly used  you as collateral.

 Everything  stops at that moment. My hands trembled slightly to the paper in my hands."He used me as__" not her, Me.

 I smiled again trying to hide my anger, turning to face the man   "I had no idea about the business deal my husband made and he's  dead   already so why should I be the one to pay?" 

We would be back to claim back our debts and you better have the money to pay.

I took the second  paper from their hands as I stared at the huge figures.

How could Callum do this to me, why did he have to put me in such a mess knowing that I have nothing and no one to run to.

When I shut the door, I  turned to Mia's burning gaze.

Callum was a bitch isn't he?

I threw the paper at Mia as I slumped to the floor unable to hold my legs.

He was in a million dollar debt   and  he thought that he could die.

This is such a big mess, Mia  said  as I walked back to sit on the couch.

I know  the man he had the deal with, he is a popular  loan lender and he  had been rumoured to be working with the Italian mafia. He goes extra miles  to make sure his debtors pay back.

The last thing I want to do is be afflicted  with  him , I had no one not even Callum MC members gave a fuck about me at this moment.

"What are you  going to  do daisy, you know boss Russel is the last person you want to  deal  with" Mia voice resounded in my head.

You don't have to worry, I will get it sorted out.

Mia was my best friend and cared so much about me , but I couldn't  put all  my  problems aside .

*******

Two months ago your  husband emptied your account, he brought your signature and everything and he claimed that it's a joint account.

The words of the accountant broke into my head.

I couldn't understand the bitch , what was she saying, I had about 5 million saved up and she's saying that my account has been  emptied by  him.

I'm sorry ma, but there's nothing we can do at the moment.

Her last words triggered something I didn't know I had in me.

Hurt pain and anger for him.

He had ruined my life .

Callum had this planned all along , he wanted me dead.

He took all my savings and now left me with nothing,absolutely nothing to be with.

How was I going to pay up his loan? 

How was I going to start? This was the only opportunity I had left .

Ignoring the words of the banker  I walked out of the bank the tears started to form in my eyes.

Mia was just sitting  in her car at the garage waiting for  me.

I had promised her that  I was going to give her the money and now how do I tell her that my dead ex husband had ruined everything.

The moment Mia sees me from the rear window , she opens the door and jumps out.

Mia pulled me into a hug.

"It's okay baby," Mia said as she tried to clean the tears from my eyes.

He took it all , he took everything away from me , I had five million saved up in that account , it's all I had.

What should I do ?. I have don't have a fucking degree , no one would hire me, I have no fucking   experience and I have literally no one to run to.

Mia doesn't say anything , but instead she  leads  me to the car and then drives off 

I  sat  at the balcony of Mia's house with my legs curled up in her chair as I  watched the day go dark.

My heart  felt like it was going to rip off any moment from now.

The pain I had inside of me wasn't something that I would  wish  on my worst  enemy. 

I couldn't even breath , I didn't want to think of the things Russel would do to me when he doesn't get his money.

I was fucked.

"Thank you  diasy" I heard Tristan say as he stepped out of the house.

Mia was right behind him like a lovesick puppy.

"Hope you both had a nice time" I say to him and Tristan only smiles  as he walks away.

Unlike me who got married to the president of a motorcycle club , Mia was lucky enough to have gotten a doctor who worked at the town's hospital and had a stable income and a reputable background.

I was the sweet innocent girl who got the bad guy and Mia the wild one got the best guy.

Mia slowly slipped her hands across  my chest as she laid  soft kisses on my neck.

I know you're going through a lot and as your best friend I have promised to come up with ways for you  to pay that debt. I really hate seeing you like this and so I have come up with this plan.

"I'm not clubbing tonight Mia" I cut her off before she could say a thing.

You haven't been to  one since you married that bastard,  well  you don't have a choice now do you? .

I  signed defeatedly, I know  Mia I  could go against her and after all I need a little more drinks, I have to forget all my problems.
