The Biker’s Mafia Princess (Angel and Savage) novel Chapter 62

Angel POV.

I sit on the end of the bed looking at the two pink lines, and nothing is registering. How is this possible? I mean, I know how, but still.

Can I go through that again? What happens if I lose it again? What if …

“Angel, get out of your head. I know what you’re thinking. Nothing is going to happen. You will be fine.” Ryder says to me, taking my hand in his. I take a breath and try to process this. I can’t think about this right now. I have to sort this theft out in Temptress. That is the reason we are here. But it changes everything.

“I can’t do this.” I mumble to myself as I look down at my lap. I don’t mean the pregnancy. I mean all this bullshit with the family businesses. I can’t do it. I can’t risk anything happening again.

“What do you mean? Do you mean the pregnancy …”

“No, I mean the businesses. We lost one child. I can’t lose another. I need to speak to my momma. She needs to sort this mess out.” I say as I look up at him and he smiles softly down at me. I lean my head against him.

“Ok, I will speak to your mom now. Just relax, OK,” He says and I nod my head against him. I’m pregnant again. I hear him on the phone. But I’m not listening to the conversation. I have been reckless in the past, but I can’t be anymore.

“Princess, she wants to speak to you.” I take the phone and place it to my ear.

“Princess, what’s going on?” she asks in her soothing southern drawl. It always warms me up.

“Momma, I can’t do this. Not now. I need you to look into it. I can’t risk …”

“What can’t you risk? Baby, tell me.” I can tell she is panicking.

“The migraines I have been getting, I thought it was to do with my head, but it turns out I’m exhausted. Momma and I’m pregnant. We’ve just found out. I’m sorry momma, I can’t go to Temptress and deal with this. I can’t risk the baby.” I say to her as tears form in my eyes. My hand goes to my belly, and she is silent on the other end. I pull the phone away to see we are still connected.

“Say no more, stay there tonight and rest, then head back. Angel, congratulations baby. Don’t worry about anything. I will deal with this. I should have been on top of it. This is my problem, not yours. Rest ok. Send me what you found. Also send Ice and Ripper to me. They can help me with this,” she says and I look at Ryder and he smiles softly at me.

“Ok, momma. Thank you and I’m sorry I couldn’t help.”

“Don’t you dare Angel Moretti. You have nothing to be sorry for, you hear me? This is my problem. I should have never got you involved. Now rest up and send me what you have. I love you and congratulations to you both. Ciao.” She hangs up and I hand the phone back to Ryder. Looks like we have a night to ourselves. All I want to do is sleep. But we need to talk about this and what we are going to do, going forward.

“Ryder, momma is going to sort this out. We don’t need to go, but she wants Ice and Ripper to go to the club. I’m sorry, this has been a waste of time.” I say, feeling completely deflated by all this.

“Hey, look at me. No need to be sorry. We can just relax tonight and cuddle up on the sofa and chill out. You need to rest, princess.” He kisses my head as I lean into him again.
