Chapter 119
Raven
I was a fucking jerk, I knew it, the club knew it. Even the daughter I didn’t even know existed knew it.
And now Daisy did as well.
It made my stomach churn but I didn’t turn towards her even though I knew she was right there standing in the doorway staring at my back like she was
afraid to come and speak to me.
I was pushing her away, acting like an ass. When in reality I needed her more than ever. In fact I needed her more than I had ever needed another person.
I hadn’t meant to fall in love with her. So fully and so fast but she was the very reason I breathed. Not that it mattered. I was a jerk and if I kept acting like one to her, sooner or later she would realise she could do better.
Which might be for the best.
Even if it broke my heart.
Knocking back the last of the scotch, I dropped the bottle to the bar and it rolled away from me. I watched it as it teetered on the edge with bleary eyes.
“Why are you acting like a dick?”
I hunched my shoulders at Gunners words. “Fuck off im busy.”
The younger man slid onto the stool next to me. “Yeah busy being a dick and wallowing in shit that is your own fault.”
My head snapped around to stare at him. How fucking dare he? That was the problem with the younger generation these days. They had no fucking respect. At my side my hands balled into fists. I could teach them respect. I could teach this mother fucker-
“If I had what you had, a woman of was fucking crazy about me I’d hold on to her with everything I had.” He continued ignoring the warning in my eyes. “She is so in love with you that it hurts to look at Raven. She idolises you and more importantly she continues to put up with your shit.”
My hands relaxed a fraction. Everything he said was true.
“And you’re pushing her away. Now I could understand if she was just a casual thing but everyone knows she’s not.”
I couldn’t argue with that either. What I felt for Daisy was light years away from casual. “Stay out of it.” I sumbled. The fact that he was calling me out on my bullshit and was right was even more infuriating than anything else.
I fucking hated it when people were right and was wrong
“Fine.” He threw his hands up in s mock surrender but I could tell he was for from done “Screw it up, push her into the arms of another man. I’m sure there’s plenty of them waiting for her.”
“Fuck you. Aren’t you meant to be watching over my daughter,” I cocked my head at him with a sneer “You know the one that hates me
“Fuck you’re a moron. For someone your age you have the emotional intelligence of a six year old Lottie is with her. You called church, remember?”

Chapter 119
I grupied something under my breath and slid from my seat. I had forgotten. “I remember. Let’s get this fucking done.”
There was only a slight stumble to my steps as I marched away. Shouting people’s names as I went.
It took forever, going over everything and making plans for the future and i didn’t pay attention to any of it. The longer I sat at the table and sobered up. The more my mind dwelled on the future and the changes I had to make. Because Gunner was right.
I was pushing everyone away.
I had a daughter, and she needed me. I knew I had so much to make up to her.
And then there was Daisy. I hadn’t meant to fall for her but I did love her.
Two hours later I’d sobered up almost completely and was on a mission to make amends.
Mairi was sleeping so I went in search of Daisy. And she wasn’t anywhere to be seen.
Not in any of the common rooms, not in the kitchen or the family room. She wasn’t in the garden getting air and my room was exactly how we had left it. The sheets rumpled up and still smelling like her.
Frowning, I felt panic rise up in my chest. Where was she?
“Where-”
Almost everyone in the common room turned to me. But it was Gunner who spoke.
“If you’re looking for Daisy she isn’t here?” He sipped at his coffee and I frowned What was up with the drinking coffee when almost everyone else was celebrating the arrest of our enemy with a beer or spirits.
Something small crashed into my legs. Almost making me fall forward. I caught the giggling youngster into my arms and swung him towards his father.
There were kids everywhere. Running riot. He had been the third one to almost take my legs in the last half hour.
“Whete is she?” And where were all the women? I loved that my men had families and usually the kids being here didn’t bother me but they weren’t youally
so unruly.
“Gone.”
Everything seemed to slow. My vision narrowed into a pin point as my stomach lurched. “What do you mean fucking gone? Where has she gone?”
Panic gripped me. It had finally happened. Daisy had finally decided that I was over grown child with no emotional intelligence and left my old ass.
“Where ”
Climbing to her feet from her spot on Xander’s lap, Lottie elbowed gunner in the ribs “Stop torturing him” She said with a giggle. “Raven she went out for brunch with the girls that’s all.”
“And you know what that means, cocktails and falling into bushes.” Xander laughed.
“Falling onto cocks more like.” Irish laughed even louder. “You know how they get.”
