The Phoenix Knights MC: Strength of Love (Rebecca Waters) novel Chapter 4

Daniel’s POV-

I leaned against the wall, near Katie, and pulled out my own pack of cigarettes. I decided after that and for this conversation, I needed a smoke.

I sighed, glaring at her friends, hoping they would get the hint.

Katie groaned beside me, before growling, “Why are you here? Did my brother send you?”

I shook my head, chuckling, pulling my lighter from my jacket pocket, and lit my cigarette. The longer I didn’t say anything, the more Katie’s friends got antsy. They really didn’t like her brother or me, for that matter.

Katie sighed, “You guys, better go. I will see you in class.”

Her friends nodded and ran off, even the boy who had his arm around her.

I chuckled, “So, who is he to you?”

“He is someone showing an interest in me. You won’t tell Mike, will you?” she asked, turning to face me, as I brought my cigarette to my mouth and inhaled deeply.

When I pulled away the cigarette, I said, “No... if you help me, I want it a secret for now.”

“What with?” she asked, surprised.

I had never asked for her help before, so of course it was a surprise.

“Olivia,” I whispered.

“I knew it, you like her, don’t you? I could see the way you look at her, even if my ignorant brother couldn’t,” Katie smiled, brightly. She hated Sarah and Dana for how they bullied Olivia, and would openly tell her brother.

I smiled and nodded.

She gasped, “You smiled. My god, I didn’t think it was possible. But what can I do to help you?”

“I saw her this morning, it looked like she had slept in her car in the parking lot at the lake. She went into the public bathroom in one outfit and came out in a different outfit. I think she might be getting abused at home, and I want to help, but I don’t know how to approach the topic,” I replied.

“Well, I heard a bit of what she and her friends were discussing earlier. Did you know that the man who raised her, the man her mother is married too, isn’t her biological father?” she said.

My eyes widened a little in surprise. Olivia never really spoke about her home life, so I shouldn’t have been surprised. But it does not make her being abused all the more likely.

Katie sighed, “They were talking about trying to find her biological father, through a birthmark that they share.”

“I wanted to ask whether you think that her eyes look familiar. There is something about them that looks familiar,” I said.

“Yeah, Gold. His eyes and her eyes are nearly identical in color. Have you not noticed that?” she asked.

I paused thinking. I never really stared into a ranked brother’s eyes before. That would be weird.

Gold is the club’s treasurer. He runs his own multi-billion-dollar company, and the first thing he brought when he made it big, was a gold bike. Hence, why, he got the name Gold. He does have green eyes. It would explain why I get that familiar feeling when I look into Olivia’s eyes, they have the same color.
