You Break Me (The Prospect Series Book 2)

by Glenna Maynard

I hear my phone ring from my purse as I finish cleaning myself up and the mess the fucker made. On the third ring I finally pull it out, ‘Mother’ shows on my display. “Hello, Mother.”

  “Susan, I will pick you up in twenty minutes, be ready, we’ll get that thing taken care of, then we’ll go to your father,” she replies not wasting any time. She hangs up before I can utter another word. I’m just thankful this thing will be out of me soon. How stupid was I to actually get knocked up? The plan was never for me to actually get pregnant, but hey, at least I wasn’t lying when I told Grady I was pregnant.

  Now to simply take care of the problem and continue on as if nothing has changed. It doesn’t matter he didn’t want this. All I need is him to marry me and to keep to the plan to set him up to take the fall for everything when we get rid of Happy and take all of the money for ourselves.

  Mother picks me up and I start to tell her I’ve changed my mind when my hand goes to my stomach, but I know what she’ll say. That the baby will only burden me and bring me down. I have to go through with this. I can’t be strapped down with Grady’s kid.

  As I sit in the waiting room waiting for my name to be called, I keep telling myself that this is the best choice. I don’t care about this thing inside me. All it will do is ruin my body. And a girl like me…I rely on my looks. Sounds shallow but it’s true.

  Chapter 14

  Nikki

  I heave once more over the toilet before sitting back on my ass. Grabbing some toilet paper, I wipe my mouth. A week of this. I know exactly what is wrong with me. At first, I thought the flu, especially since Sophia just had it last week. This is exactly how I found out I was pregnant the first time. Shit. How will I explain this to Tricky? We haven’t had sex, or a rape night, in months. He’s either too busy fucking other women or he’s drunk.

  That’s it. I’ll say he was drunk when we made this baby, he barely remembers anything when he’s drunk so it will work. It has to. He’s gonna beat me anyways, but he’d kill me if he found out this is another man’s child.

  I finish brushing my teeth and walk out of the bathroom, and there he stands, the monster I married, glaring at me. “You’re pregnant,” he states. Fuck, he knows, he must have heard me getting sick all week. I nod, scared to open my mouth. Suddenly my head whips to the side and the taste of blood fills my mouth. Grabbing me roughly he drags me down the hall and into the living room. I notice one of the bouncers from the club I dance at sitting on my couch, and he stands the second we enter the room.

  “Hit play,” Tricky tells him. Minutes later, I realize what this is. Oh god, he’s going to kill me. My moans fill the room as Prospect pounds into me. “Enough. Leave,” Tricky grunts out. The bouncer leaves without looking back. Without caring that Tricky is about to murder me for what I’ve done.

  I try to pull away from the hold he has on me, but it doesn’t work. His face is twisted into a look I have never seen before, and I’ve seen a lot of his looks, but this one is worse than ever.

  “You fuckin’ slut. All I do for you, and you repay me by being a whore and fuckin’ cheating on me?” He roars in my face. I want so badly to smart off to him, letting him know he’s done shit all for me, except make me a slave and rape me whenever he wants inside me.

  “That child you’re carryin’ ain’t mine, which means, I gotta take care of the problem.” My eyes widen before his fist connect with my stomach.

  I scream as his hits become constant. “Tricky, please stop.” Those words only fuel his anger and it’s not until I see the knife coming for me that he just pulled from his waistband, that I know this is truly it for me—the end. I start fighting back as hard as I can, which causes his knife to go wide, stabbing me in the shoulder.

  “Mom?” I hear Sophia call out. Tricky stops his onslaught and we both turn to look at her. Her face is etched with fear all over it, thick tears streaming down her face. In an instant, she grabs the vase on the bookcase by her and throws it. It breaks over Tricky’s head and I want to smile so badly, but everything hurts, and I can’t. That’s my girl, I think to myself.

  My proud moment is short lived. Because it’s also when I see where his evil expression is directed. He punches me once more in the face and gets off me, going for Sophia. I can’t let him touch her. No way. I get up, noticing the knife he used on me is lying on the floor. When I pick it up, I see Sophia’s hair in his fist, and before he can think about hitting her, I jump on his back, and stab the knife into his throat.

  His hold on Sophia releases, and she backs away, but right now all I can think about doing is protecting us. I’m so done with this shitty life. I keep stabbing and jabbing him with the knife until he falls to his knees, and gurgles. Leaving the knife in his throat I get as far away from him as possible, and it’s then I feel all the pain in my body and get dizzy. My adrenaline wears off as the full pain and brunt of his assault hits me all over again.

  “Mom, I called for help, it’s going to be okay,” my sweet little girl tells me, running to me. I can’t handle it right now and fall to my knees. I’m bleeding everywhere, hell, I don’t even know where the blood is coming from anymore. Pain grips my stomach, and I fall to the floor on my face, and my world goes dark as Sophia screams for help.

  Chapter 15

  Grady

  “Fuck!” I hear Prez roar from somewhere in the clubhouse.

  Quick banging at my door has me jumping outta bed and the whore I fucked last night falls to the floor. “Ow, the hell?” she slurs rubbing her head.

  “Prospect, church, now. Shit’s gone down,” Gremlin calls out as I zip up my pants.

  I jog down the hall and into church. Every damn member is here today, the room is packed. The fuck happened?

  I take my place against the back wall, with the other prospects as the members find their seats. Prez is pacing the room like a caged animal.

  “We need a huge clean up detail. My daughter, fuck.”

  I frown, “Susan?” I speak up.

  “No, Nikki. My other daughter!” He shouts as he punches a hole in the wall. I look at the brothers in the room with confusion, I never heard of no other daughter, but they all seem to understand. I wonder if Susan knows this shit, and if she did, why didn’t she tell me?

  “She’s my youngest daughter, but middle child. She ran away when she was eighteen, it’s been almost twelve years now, and we finally fuckin’ found her. Except it’s worse than I ever thought. I thought maybe she was dead. No, she’s married to fuckin’ Tricky.”

  That comes as a blow to my stomach, I fucked that bitch not having a clue that I was banging another one of Prez’ kids. Well fuck me, always dreamt of fucking sisters. I look down at my dick as it tries to raise up. Calm down big guy, we’ll fuck Nikki again soon.

  “Why do we need clean up? We’re goin’ as fast as we can with getting rid of the bastard.”

  “It’s worse than we thought. He’s been raping my daughter for years, beating her, raping and beating other women in front of her. Fuck, he’s already got a bid out for his own daughter, that once she starts bleeding, she’ll be earning money. Right now, a buyer has a bid out for her virginity at eighty fuckin’ grand,” Prez says, his voice choking up.

  Rico speaks up, “That’s some bullshit, fuck our plan, let’s end him now.” He pounds his fist on the table. Prez patched him into the club. Shit really grinded my gears. I shoulda been the one getting the Jacks Devil mark on my arm.

  “It’s already done. Tricky’s brother is a fuckin’ cop in that town. Last night Tricky’s beatin’ on Nikki went too far, she was pregnant, wasn’t his kid, he found out. Almost killed her. Sophia, that’s my grandbaby’s name, heard her mother screaming, and went to go to her. Tricky then turned on the kid. Nikki grabbed a knife and killed him. Neighbors called the cops, said normally they keep outta it, but it was worse than ever before.”

  Seeing Prez choked up has my stomach turning. But what he said about Nikki bein’ pregnant, well fuck me. That was probably my kid. Rage sp
ikes through my veins. Nikki had my fuckin’ number, she didn’t bother to call and tell me I was having a kid? Was that Goddamned cunt gonna keep it from me? I’ll demand answers when I see her again.

  I rub my temples as a tension headache takes hold of me.

  Fuck me.

  I got sisters knocked up.

  Prez is gonna kill me.

  Chapter 16

  Cruiz

  The room is buzzing, excitement that we’ve finally found Nikki, anger over what’s gone down. Me, I feel relief. The prospect, Grady, is clenching his fists, and if he does it any harder, he’ll draw blood. My eyes narrow on him, does he know Nikki? I hope to fuck not. He’s a lowly prospect, Nikki’s mine.

  I fucked up so bad twelve years ago. We grew up together, eventually fell in love, and when she finally turned sixteen, we became an official couple. She slowly changed, she was always smiling and full of energy, but once she moved in with Happy’s legal family after her mom died, she was different. I was becoming frustrated as fuck, constantly hard with the worst case of blue balls. Nikki was constantly teasing my dick and making me beg for it. She never would put out though. Kept saying she was saving herself. Losing her was my biggest regret.

  Happy’s bitch daughter, Susan, had been flirting with me for years, but I always brushed her off. One night though, the night of Nikki’s eighteenth birthday, she still wouldn’t put out. I got drunk, though it isn’t any excuse for what I did. I fucked Susan. The second I came inside the bitch, Nikki burst through the door, tears in her eyes, and ran off. The was the last time any of us saw her. That image burned into me—the look of hurt she wore as she fled the scene of betrayal. Her face has haunted me every single day since. I see her face on every bitch I fuck. No one has ever come close to replacing her for me. She was the love of my life.

  Susan was happy as a pig in shit that Nikki walked in on us. Bitch was gloating and I snapped. I’d never hit a woman before but punching her in the face and threatening to kill her was my weak moment, and something I still don’t regret. I lost Nikki. Fucking Susan ruined my life. One weak moment changed everything. Destroyed what I cherished more than anything.

  Nikki has a daughter now, so I’ll get it if I need to take this slow, but one way or another, I will have her again. She’ll be back at my side, like she always should have been. I don’t care that she’s pregnant with another man’s baby, they are all mine.

  We leave church, half the brothers head out with Happy, the rest of us stay here at the clubhouse. How the hell did Nikki get into the mess with Tricky? That fucker has been stealin’ our product and our girls for years, we were about to end the bastard and take back what was ours. Guess this kills two birds with one stone. At least for once, I don’t have to be the one doing the cleanup.

  Arms rub my shoulders as I take a pull of my beer. “Hey baby, missed you in my bed last night.” Cleo, one of my regular fucks purrs into my ear.

  “Was with your friend last night.” Can’t even remember the bitch’s name. I go to shrug her off when she starts to kiss my neck.

  “Well then you can be in me right now, you know I don’t mind sharing.” She nips at my ear, something that always has my dick standing up for attention. Fuck it. I have time to win Nikki back, once she’s here, then this shit stops.

  I spin around on the bar stool. “Take him out,” I demand of her and she doesn’t hesitate for even a second. Her mouth quickly wraps around me, taking me all the way to the back of her throat. As she works my cock, I finish my beer and pull her up off her knees and shove her over, her tits resting on the bar top, and hike a leg up so her pussy is on full display for everyone in the room.

  I dig a condom out from my pocket and make quick use of putting it on and then slam inside her. Cleo’s always been a favorite, my only repeater in the club, mostly because she keeps her cunt tight and doesn’t moan like a damn banshee when she fucks.

  “Oh god, yes, Cruiz. Like that, baby,” her voice catches as she cums around my cock.

  I feel my own release coming and quickly pull out, and she knows exactly what to do, like a good little whore, she gets on her knees. Ripping the condom off, she’s taking me back in her mouth until I explode.

  Done with this scene, I shove my cock back in my jeans as she licks her lips while giving me a smile. “Hope that was good for you, it’s the last you’ll get from me. Make sure you pass that message around.” Her eyes dim as she finally realizes what I mean and she just nods, tears forming in her eyes.

  I’ve been one of the lucky fucks that when I refuse or say I’m done, not one bitch makes a fuss or even tries to get me again. They know I’m done, or they are gone for good. And with Nikki back, every bitch in this place will never have the feel of my cock or tongue inside them again.

  Chapter 17

  Susan

  The appointment went fine, some bleeding, but nothing that’s gonna stop me from the goal we have. We’re now on our way to the clubhouse to speak with Happy. I’m to tell him I’m pregnant and demand he force Grady to marry me and give him his cut. I can’t be married to a lowly prospect. I know he’ll be on my side, wanting to make me happy, at the same time making Grady do the right thing for our child.

  I walk through the clubhouse, Mother trailing behind me, which has her looking out of place. It’s rare she’s ever stepped foot inside here, father always kept her away. It wasn’t until she found out about Nikki’s mother that she started demanding and forcing her way in.

  The whole room is buzzing, everyone looks agitated and worried. “Where’s Daddy?” I ask Pistol, one of the brothers.

  “His office. Might want to just head back home, he’s on the war path right now.” I give him a fake sad smile and tap his shoulder, heading down the stairs to his office. Maybe this will work better than I thought. Daddy’s upset, which means him giving into my demands will be so much easier.

  Mother doesn’t bother knocking, just pushes her way in.

  “What the fuck are you doin’ here?” Happy looks pissed when he sees us.

  “We need a chat. It seems that one of your men knocked up our daughter.” Mother goes right into it.

  “What’s that got to do with me?” He says looking confused.

  I step forward, going to sit in the chair across from his desk. “Daddy, I love him, I want to marry him, do the right thing, be a family. But he doesn’t want to. Grady wants to just keep going how we are. I need you to make him marry me,” I tell him, laying it on thick.

  He glares at me. “If you got knocked up, that’s on you. Not gonna force no one to marry someone they don’t wanna.” I look at him in shock, why is he not on my side. “Look, I have shit going on. We found Nikki, I’m getting her brought home. You two need to leave, someone will be bringing my grandkid to the house while we get Nikki, you’ll need to watch her, Crystal.”

  I see my mother shaking, the fury pouring off her is terrifying.

  “Get out. What the fuck you still in here for?” Happy shouts, slamming his fist on his desk.

  We get to the car and Mother is still vibrating with anger. “I should have married that truck driver I fucked to get pregnant with you,” she sneers. “Me, watch the brat of that little bitch.” With a scoff, she shakes her head. “Always knew that girl was trouble. Just like her fucking cunt whore mother.”

  “Maybe we can turn the kid against Nikki,” I suggest.

  Mother smacks me across the cheek. “Did I ask for your input. You’re a fucking disappointment.”

  I hold my cheek as it stings with blinding pain and bite back my tears.

  Chapter 18

  Nikki

  “Thanks for picking me up.” I limp toward my bastard of an Uncle, Happy.

  “Happy to do it. I’m so sorry I didn’t know about Tricky. Had I known I would have killed the piece for shit myself years ago.”

  I walk past him, and he tries to hug me.

  “Don’t touch me. I might be thankful for the ride, but it doesn’t mean I want anything t
o do with you!”

  He nods looking sad. “Sophia is back at my place. She’s a good kid. A little quiet but worried about you.”

  “That bitch you are married to better not be alone with her or your cunt daughter, Susan.” I glare at him and he stiffens.

  “What are you talking about? Crystal was devastated when you ran off. She cried herself to sleep for weeks when I couldn’t find you.”

  I laugh in his face.

  “Nikki, sweetheart. What’s wrong?”

  “You really don’t know do you?”

  “I am hoping you’ll tell me. Let’s go have a drink. Just you and me and you can tell me whatever it is that has you upset that you think I should know.

  “Fine, I’ll tell you everything, but first I want you to make a call and get my daughter away from them.”

  He shakes his head but pulls out his phone and shoots off a text. We pull up to a nice neighborhood, and park in space 603. “Where are we?”

  “Had this place for years, kept it up, had renters for a while, but it was always yours. It was supposed to be your gift for your eighteenth birthday.” And then I ran off, maybe I could have stayed, but I can’t think that way. Tricky was a piece of shit, but he did give me one and only good thing in my life, Sophia. “We’re on the top floor, it has a walk out balcony and leads up to the roof.” We ride the elevator in silence all the way to my new apartment.

  Opening the door, I see it’s nice, a lot nicer than the shitty house I lived in with Tricky. “It’s one of the bigger units. Top floor only has four apartments, more condo style. I haven’t gotten Sophia’s room done yet, it’s just a standard bedroom, wanted to wait to find out what she liked before I do anything.”

  “Stop talking. I appreciate this, but you don’t need to do anything for me. Or Sophia.”
