Olivia’s POV-

+25 Points

I sat in my usual place in church, with Daniel beside me. The room was packed. We had the members for

six MCs here, on top of our own MG. It meant there were a lot more men here. I was literally the only female member in any of the clubs here. Daniel clutched my hand tightly.

Once everyone was in and the door was closed, Prez banged his fist like a judge’s gavel and silenced everyone. He welcomed everyone and thanked them for coming. He said that only one more MC had yet to arrive, and when they did, he could fill them in on everything that he was about to tell them. He then went into detail about how they came to find me, what I suffered, who did it, where they were now, and

what they had planned for me. “As the information stands, Romano Vargas is here in the city, and he is looking for Queenie. We received intel that he is obsessed with Queenie, purely because he wants her as a

virgin bride. He wants her to be his wife, whether she agrees to it or not. That meant he would force her

and do god knows what else to her. For now, we believe he is in this house.”

An image popped up on to the screen behind him, before he continued, “We know that this is the location

of the hack that Queenie and CB traced. This is the man.”

I finally get to see an image of the man that wants me. Romano Vargas. He was a fairly decent looking guy, mocha colored skin with raven black hair. Narrow eyes and a fake smile plastered across his face in the picture. My eyes went wide. I recognized him.

Gold cleared his throat, “Princess, do you recognize him? I know this is your first time seeing his photo.”

I gulped and nodded, “The picture John Jefferson claimed that Vargas showed him of me, in the blue dress at a charity gala. It was to do with guns or something. I wasn’t really paying attention to it. I remember sneaking off soon after the photo was taken. I hid in the bathroom for a while, but they had the heating on, and it got fucking hot in that building. So, I headed to find somewhere outside to cool off. I

found a balcony, and went out on to the balcony. I was just enjoying the quiet night and cool air. When he

appeared out of nowhere, he made a comment about these events being boring. I made a comment in

response, about them being boring because no one is intellectually sound of mind. He laughed and

agreed. I remember shivering, and he took his suit jacket off and draped it over my shoulders. He tried to

talk to me, but I mostly responded to him coldly, not really wanting to talk with him. When I started to get

annoyed with his presence, I handed him his jacket, and went off alone.”

“How long ago was this?” Dad growled.

“Two years ago, nearly three. I was fifteen at the time,” I replied.

Uproar enveloped church, because who the fuck chats up a fifteen–year–old girl. I sighed, “Least we know when this obsession of his began. It’s just figuring out what the hell he is prepared to do to get to me.”

“I doubt he will make any moves to reach you, until you are more out in the open,” Dad said.

“Or, do something to extremely piss him off,” Claw interjected.

“You mean force his hand,” Prez said.

Mike cleared his throat, “How the hell would we force his hand?”

Everyone fell silent thinking about what could force his hand. Make him speed up whatever his plan is, so

that he is tripped up. “Dad, you said about doing a press conference when this is all over, to announce who

I am to you, to the future of your company. Why not do it now? Make me a public figure, make me seen.”

“It’s an option. But once it is out there, the press will want interviews and my business partners will want to meet you. Hell, some of them will probably try to make a business deal held together by an arranged marriage. Those kinds of business deals do still happen even in the modern era. Not that I would ever

allow that, because I can see how happy you are with Carnage,” Dad said.

I nodded, “I understand. But it will make it a lot harder for him to get closer to me, if the cameras of the

press are trying to follow my movements.”

“She has a point, Gold,” Bear interjected.

“I doubt that would be enough to force his hand,” Claw said.

Daniel cleared his throat, “I… I have an idea. But I need your blessing, Gold, before I do it. Announcing it

would probably force his hand severely.”

Dad’s brow furrowed, mine did too, but then it clicked. Was he talking about an engagement? Needing

Gold’s blessing, that would be to ask me to marry him. I know I am already his old lady, his wife in the biker

world. It would just be making it legal in the eyes of the whole damn world.

“Well, what is it?” Dad asked.

Prez chuckled, “Gold, buddy, you’re an idiot. Even I got what he was implying, and by the looks of your

daughter, she got it too.”

“I will plan the proposal, and I will ask Queenie to marry me. She is already my world, my old lady. So, it was going to happen eventually. And I am not going to have her in danger forever, so if we need to force his hand, we announce our engagement,” Daniel replied.

“Are you serious?” I asked Daniel, surprised.

Daniel smiled, chuckling softly. “Of course I am. My queen, I love you. You are my old lady. I knew one day

I would get down on one knee and propose to you. I hoped it would be in the not so far future, but I don’t want you to be in danger anymore. I will be very serious about this. I will do it properly.”
