Chapter 17.
Courtney POV.
Watching Kaden’s face basically freeze at my question tells me I was bang on the money. Momma always said I was smart and I guess she is right.
On the drive here I had time to think about everything that has been happening, the animosity from her to me, her wanting to come to the scan. Everything screams. This is Chloe. But why?
“Did you hear our conversation?” He comes out of his little malfunction and I smirk at him.
“No, I figured it out for myself. I had a chance to clear my mind during the drive and it just clicked. Chloe wants rid of me. She gets that, then she gets her status back with the club and she thinks she will get you, too. Doesn’t take a genius to figure it out.” I tell him as I eat my burger and moan as the pickles explode on my tongue with the spice of the mustard. Yummy.
“Ok, smartass. What is her association with the Brothers Of Mayhem?” He asks as he continues to eat his food. I think about it and I smile as I reach for my strawberry and chocolate milkshake.
“That’s easy. She isn’t my dad’s daughter. I mean, I have the combination of both my parents. Hell, I have my dad’s eyes. Chloe has no resemblance to him whatsoever. So I would hedge a
is a big, maybe. Her father is part of that club. I mean, her mom pulled the same s**t Chloe did with you. Chances are her mom was sent to spy and was already pregnant with Chloe.” I tell him my theory and he looks at me
with deep consideration.
bet. That dad isn’t her dad. That maybe and his
“Your dad would have done a DNA to make sure. So how would they get around that?” I
chuckle at his words.
“Fake the result, a well–placed bribe. Either way, I am telling you Chloe is not my sister and if
I’m wrong, which I never am, by the way, I will eat my hat.” I say, wiping the ketchup and
mustard from my face.
“That is a huge accusation, Court. What makes you think all of this apart from her being a
royal pain in the ass?” He asks and I look at him and tilt my head to the side.
“Hmm, well, she is shifty, obsessed with status and is a damn fraud. I think she knows she isn’t my dad’s daughter. I mean, she spent time with her mom on the weekends. But I will bet you she is still in contact with her mom.” I tell him and he smiles as he leans back in his chair,
watching me.

“Ok, explain the messages? Chloe will deny them and say there are from an ex,” He says and I smile at him. He isn’t as stupid as he looks.
“That’s easy. She will have a secret phone or a hidden folder on her phone. Also, whenever she leaves the clubhouse, she should be tailed to see who she is meeting up with. Chloe is not that smart. She is manipulative and thinks she is the s**t. But she isn’t.” I tell him as I drink my drink.

“What are you two talking about that has you both looking so serious?” Storm asks as he sits
down next to me and I look up and see Havoc, Danger, Drift, and War. I struggle to stand as
Drift pulls me into a hug.
“I’m so sorry, Courtney, I’m so sorry I never connected the dots sooner.” He says and I look at
him as I pull back.
“What do you mean, Drift? What dots?” I ask him in full confusion as I look from him to the
others and he sighs as I turn my gaze back to his.
“I always said you reminded me of someone, and now I know who. Your momma.” He says,
and I gasp at his words. Drift knew my momma? How?
“We have time to talk, but right now we need to get back on the road.” He says, and it’s my
turn to malfunction. He knew my momma. She never said anything, more damn secrets. I’m
starting to think my momma wasn’t who I believed her to be.
“Who were the men?” Kaden asks and I look at him, confused.
“What men?” I ask him and he looks at me and sighs, when Havoc gives me a hug and so they
do the rest of them. I always liked these men. They were always kind to me, but from what I
have learnt, kindness means s**t. They could have been playing along because of Kaden.
“They were civilians appreciating the bike and cage.” Danger says and I look at him.
“A cage is …”
“I’m not completely thick. I know what a cage is, Danger. You mean my momma’s truck? Good
thing I didn’t drive my car. They would have had hearts for eyes.” I tell him with a chuckle, and
he smiles at me.
“Ok smarty–pants. You’re down with the lingo.” He says, rolling his eyes playfully, and I scowl
at him and grab my fries and eat them.
“Ok, Courtney has figured it all out.” Kaden tells them and I look at them as I finish my food.
“Sure did, it’s Chloe. She is the link between the Devil’s Army and the Brothers Of Mayhem. I

think she is the daughter of one of the members or the president himself. Her mom was a club w***e, or still is. I think her mom was sent to spy on the club running my momma out and into danger, so that means they know who she was and now who I am because of Chloe. Storm, I want you to speak to my dad and tell him to watch Chloe closely, keep her in sight at all times. Search her room for another phone and her actual phone for a folder containing hidden messages and emails.” I tell him and he looks impressed with what I have told them.
“You got it, boss lady. Right guys, grab what you need. We need to move.” Storm says and I
smile as I waddle past them, all whilst sipping on my straw.
Chief will need to know all of this. I think I have just found the Brothers Of Mayhem’s
weakness and it is Chloe. Same as I am Chief’s and Wolf’s. But I’m not that weak. Sure, I have
had my world torn apart, but what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
