Chapter 1
Chapter one
Electra POV
I was so excited as it's our two years wedding anniversary today. My joy knew no boundaries because I couldn't believe I ended up living with my husband for two good years. My friends had condemned our relationship and scolded me for going into a marriage with someone I met in two weeks, someone I barely knew..
Even my parents disagreed and rebuked me from marrying him. But I was smart because I stole their money and ran away to marry my husband. He's been a bit different lately complaining about me not giving him a child. I guess it's my fault for not getting pregnant for two years, so I wanted to apologize for it today.
I wanted to bake a cake myself, and also prepare his best food. Walking into the kitchen I realised I didn't have any ingredients, I quickly went to get the car key and drove to the supermarket, picking everything I needed in the basket. I also bought a flower so that I will use it to decorate the table. I was excited and didn't know how to handle myself. Maybe we would have been celebrating by now if he didn't have an urgent meeting to attend.
Getting home I headed to the kitchen and put everything I bought on the cabinet ready to get to work. I slipped the veggies, my hand moving quite fast, I also chopped the onion. Then I remember it will be much better if I go for the cake first and then later I will continue with the food while the cake is in the oven.
"Knoxville you're so much going to enjoy me today" I said to myself, as I get the flour in a bowl, I pour the baking powder and the salt I know is going to be enough for the amount of cake I am making. I whisk them together, I gradually add the butter mixing it until it gets creamy, then add the sugar. Within thirty minutes I was done with the mixing and it's set in my pan, I smile imagining how much Knoxville love vanilla cake. I am a proud wife. As the cake was in the oven I smile stirring the veggies burger I had prepared.
I checked the time I arranged the table, after everything was ready I went to shower and get dressed in my best outfit. The one he had gotten me on our last date, he loves the dress so much. I make sure to look good enough for tonight.
Getting back to the living room, I sat on the table waiting for his arrival. I wonder why he's not back by this time. I dialled his number but he didn't pick up. "Please, darling , pick up your call" My curiosity grew.
I stood up pacing back and forth, and in that instance I heard the horn of his car, a smile playing on my mouth has I quickly sat in the dining room ready to welcome him.
He came inside and walked closer to where I was. I stood up and tried to hug him. "Welcome baby" I said, but I was shocked when he pushed me away.
"Baby, what's that?" I asked, and he scoffed.
"What's all this" he asked, and I was more shocked. Did he not remember today is our two years anniversary?
"Today is what! Didn't you remember?" I asked, and he chuckled.
"You really are jobless, I wonder how someone can be jobless to this extent, you seem not to have any shame" He thundered.
I don't seem to understand what's going on. I know he has been cold for a few days, but why is he suddenly getting mad at me trying to surprise him.
I tried to calm the situation. "Did you have a bad day at work? I am sorry for stressing you" I said, trying my best to be calm.
"Can you just stop pretending, when will you understand it? Did you want me to say it with my mouth? Why aren't you getting it" He thundered, and I fiddled, tears filled my eyes.
"Child, children aren't what you wanted. But it wasn't my fault I couldn't give birth. I tried so hard, and you know that" I said, wiping my tears, in two years this is the first time he made me cry. I thought he was going to hug me and begged me to stop crying like he always does, but his expressions were unreadable.
"How more dumb are you going to get" He yelled, and angrily carried the cake smashing it to the floor. I couldn't believe what he just did, I bent down as I stared at the cake.
"How can you do this? How can you be this mean? I prepared this with so much effort, how could you do something like this to me? What's my crime" I shouted at him, tears pouring down my eyes.
"Your crime is you don't get it. You don't understand anything" He repeated, and I couldn't take it anymore.
"What? Tell me exactly what I didn't understand. Yes you can call me names, and even say I have a very tiny brain, but how are we going to have children if you keep behaving like this" I couldn't help but cry hard, my voice crackling. "I put in so much effort to make sure I apologize for not giving you kids, but right now you're overstepping your bounds. If you want children so badly can't you just do what other men do" I said, and held his hand.
He smirked looking at me. "Are you for real?" He asked.
"Yes, I am for real, if you want children badly then lift me up, and carry me down to the bedroom, I am ready for any style you know can make me get pregnant. I am always ready to be the mother of your kids, you know how much I love you Knoxville, please don't treat me this way, it's hurt me so much" I begged, and hugged him, relaxing on his chest, but he pushed me away, and I fell. He didn't even care to look back a
s he walked away from me. I sat down there crying my eyes out.

As the only daughter of Shane “Rook” Rourke, president of the Lost Coast Renegades MC, Taryn has always known club business comes first. But when Rook signs a treaty with the dangerous president of Iron Mesa, he crosses a line even she never imagined.
Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.

Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.

Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.

It is an insult.
A betrayal.

Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.
