I tell him everything.
“He’s goin’ to kidnap her,” Beckett points out. “Clear as fuckin’ day. Can guarantee his plan is to have her taken and threatened into signing some sort of document that’ll give him full rights.
Oh. Shit.
I didn’t think of that scenario.
“I think you’re right,” Remy agrees. “He’s probably got someone lined up to do it, he’s too pissy to get his hands dirty.”
“It makes sense,” I say. “He’s definitely that type, and, in his mind, it’ll be the perfect plan. Take me and torture me into signing.”
“Problem is, how the fuck do we get him to back off?” Adan mutters. “Because right now, the only way I can see us getting him off her back, is with brutal fuckin’ force that’ll take him out.”
I blink. “You can’t kill someone just to get them to go away.”
Adan’s eyes meet mine. “When it comes to you I can.”
Oh boy.
“No death,” Riggs mutters. “We gotta be smarter than him. Gotta get something on him that’ll get him to back off.”
“It would need to be somethin’ fuckin’ big to get him to stay the fuck away,” Remy adds. “He don’t seem like the type to just fuck off and be done with it.”
He’s right.
He’s not.
We would need to find something that would be big enough to scare him off for good.
But what?
“Only person who knows if we can get dirt on him is you,” Riggs says to me. “You got anything on him? Anything at all?”
I shake my head. “No, I left before I ever got too involved in his life. I avoided him where possible growing up. He’s been nothing but a thorn in my side for years. I can’t think of anything you could use against him at this short notice, not without digging.”
“What about your mother?” Adan asks. “Clearly he’s got somethin’ goin’ for her otherwise he wouldn’t keep her around.”
I shake my head. “No, I think if it came down to it he would throw her like a bag of trash. He cares more about himself than anything.”
We all think on it for a minute.
“Only one other thing we can do then,” Adan says, his voice rough. “We sign everything she owns away, to someone he cannot find or learn about. We tie it up in a way he can’t force her hand to sign it over, even if he got hold of her, it wouldn’t matter because she has no control over it.”
“Not a bad idea.” Riggs nods, then his eyes go to me. “Only problem is, you have to be fully on board. We’re not touchin’ anything of yours without your permission.”
“Honestly, I don’t care about the money. I really don’t. I am going to buy a little place with it, but, otherwise, I don’t want it. The only problem is, his family home is still in my name and it hasn’t sold, even if the money goes he might go after that.”
“Then we give it to him.” Riggs shrugs. “We sign the rest over to a place he can’t touch, and we let him have the home. If he doesn’t go away, then we go to plan B.”
“What’s plan B?” I ask.
Riggs grins. “You don’t wanna know, honey.”
I bite my lip and look to Adan, who winks at me.
Bikers.
Sexy things they are.
WE AVOID DEVIN FOR the next three days, even though he threatened to show up if I didn’t make up my mind in twenty-four hours. The only reason he hasn’t gotten close to me, is because I’ve had two bikers with me at all times, and I’m certain he’s watching and is probably super pissed by now.
We needed a few days for Riggs to sort out where the money was going to go, to a place that Devin couldn’t force me to sign it over. Instead, I signed it over myself so it no longer sits in my name. I did up a contract with Riggs, though, to state that it’s still mine and, eventually, it’ll come back to me in ways that’ll healthily impact my life. Such as needing to buy a car. I’m not bothered, I honestly couldn’t care if I never saw a cent of it.
I purchased my little house and the rest of it was “tied” up into the club somehow. I didn’t bother asking how, I don’t want to know, so long as it no longer belongs to me. Once that was done, then Riggs organized a meeting with Devin. A meeting where we’ll share the great news that I’m sure will make him very, very happy.
The meeting is held at the club and Riggs has allowed me to be there after I insisted that if I wasn’t there, I’d probably stand outside the window, staring in like a weirdo, until he let me be there. Adan agreed I was likely to do this, so they let me in. I have been instructed not to say a damned word, which is going to be really, really tough, but I agree.
