Chapter 84.
Courtney POV.
* Points
I know Kaden will come for me when he finds out what I did. I knew the SUV had a tracker and
he would track it. I also know that he would find out from the car dealership what car I traded
the SUV for, that is why after a few miles I dumped the mustang and got the bus.
So here I am on the Grey Hound on my way home. But I never specified which home I was
going to when the car salesman asked me. I had been saving my money from my design job and I brought a little house on a ranch.
I had been secretly brought furniture and everything I would need and that was all being
delivered in a few hours. It was a good investment. Good thing I never told Kaden about it. I
was hoping it would be like a home away from home, but now I know it will be just mine and
bean’s home.
Hopefully, the furniture will arrive not long after I do. I do feel bad for what I did, but they had it coming. They have all lied to me and I won’t live like that.
I have had time to think and the relationship with me and Kaden. Ugh, I don’t think it was ever
going to work. There is no trust. He shattered that when he went on club business, which
given recent events, I believe was so he could lie and say he didn’t know. But he did, and I
know he would have lied about it. Hell, he lied to me for nearly two weeks.
He had every opportunity to tell me when we spoke daily, and he never did. Right now, I need
time to come to terms with the fact that I have no one. In a way, I always knew I didn’t. Even
though I was surrounded by all those people, not one of them told me the truth. All selfish
assholes keeping me in the dark.
Ok, yes, I will admit I was on bed rest for all the stress, but it is not like I wouldn’t have been
able to handle it. If they had just told me from the beginning, then maybe I wouldn’t have shot
the woman who gave birth to me, and maybe I wouldn’t have left. But no, they had to keep
lying.
I hope they can all live with themselves knowing that they drove me to be like this and, like the
****t I am, I let them. So that is on me.
It is just me and bean going forward. I can see now that Kaden was only interested in me because of bean. I know if I wasn’t pregnant, he would have not looked my way. He is only
interested in our daughter and even though that’s fine. It still hurts.

I loved that man genuinely, but I loved my momma, my grandpa, hell, even my dad. But they all lied. So Kaden is no better. I look out of the window and watch as the landscape changes from towns and cities to beautiful countryside.
This is what I need, bean and I will be safe out here. Keeping to ourselves. But one thing I
won’t ever do is lie to my daughter. I will tell her the truth about our family. Because that is not
who I am. I will not be like my momma, who kept s**t secret all my damn life.
Again, I am better than that. I open my new phone and check the map so I know how far out I
have left. Not long now, thirty minutes and I will be at my new house. A house that I can build healthy memories in.
The town that the ranch sits on the outskirts of is small and there is not an MC in sight. That
is what I need. I will give my momma one bit of thanks. She did teach me how to disappear
and I am a ghost right now. She will never find me.
I withdrew all my money from my accounts and closed them down before I got on this bus.
The house is under a different name. False ID for me and everything is now under that name.
They won’t find me. Gone is Courtney Nevaeh Morrison and now I am Gemma Marie Williams.
They will never find me. If by some off chance they do find me, well, I won’t run, I will just
simply stand and fight. Kaden will come for me only for bean.
The rest of them will come for me because I shot my momma. They never gave a s**t about
me, only what I can do for them. Well, that train has left the damn station. They can all leave
me alone.
I look at my map again, and the next stop is mine. The bus rolls into the bus station and I
thank the driver as I leave and grab my suitcase. I walk through the little terminal and smile.
Finally, peace. Looking around and taking it all in.
The town is rather small. It has a central square with stores surrounding the little park in the
middle. A town hall, sheriff’s department, hardware store, and convenience store. It is just the
kind of place you could relax and forget your troubles. A real mom and pops town.
Luckily enough, there are taxis waiting outside the bus station and I hail one and give the
driver the address.
“So, you new to town?” He asks, an older gentleman with that old southern drawl.
“Yes, sir. I am. Just bought the ranch.” I tell him as I watch the passing scenery. Normal everyday people going about their lives. God, how I have missed this!
“You don’t say. Well, it has been a while since that place had a new owner. The name is Jerry,

my wife and I Kitty is her name, we used to be friends with the old owners. They left town to move to the big city to be with their grandbabies.” He says and I smile at this. See normal.
No mafia or MC in sight, and I already feel at peace. Yeah, I think I’m going to like it here.
“Hope you don’t mind me asking honey, what do you plan on doing with the ranch?” He asks, and I look at him.
“I don’t know. Right now, I need a place for me and my daughter. The quiet life.” I say and he
nods his head.
“Well, you will have that here, even though we are a small town. We look after our own.
Welcome to town, honey. If ya need anything, me and my Kitty live it the last house before the
turnoff to the ranch.” Jerry says, and I smile and thank him.
“Thanks, I appreciate it.” Yeah, I won’t be getting anyone involved with me until the heat dies
off and I can be sure I won’t be found. You know, just in case.
We pull off the road right before he points to his house, and it is lovely. We pull up to the small
house on the ranch and I smile. It is even prettier in person.
There it sits slap bang in the middle. A two storey typical homestead. Complete with
wrap–around porch. To the left is a paddock and just green as far as the eye can see. It’s
beautiful.
“Here honey, let me help you with your suitcase. Go on now, go and have a look.” He says and I
thank him as I just take it all in. The fresh air, the silence, and I feel my shoulders drop. Yeah,
this is it. This is where I will call home.
I walk up the wooden steps to the front door and put in the code to retrieve the keys. Opening
the door. I brace myself for what I may find. Only it is empty and clean inside.
Hard wood floors which shine and have been well taken care of. The décor is plain, just like it
was in the pictures. It had been redecorated before the sale. A blank canvas just waiting for
me to make my mark on its walls.
The kitchen is big with all the fittings and fixtures. I need to do a food shop and hire
decorators, but that can wait until I’m settled.
“Here you go. The hardware store in town has names and numbers of local tradesmen, so if you need anything, there would be your best bet.” Jerry says, and I smile at him.
I hand him a fifty and tell him to keep the change.
“Thank you Jerry. Hopefully, see you around.” I say, and he tips his hat to me as he leaves and

I close the door.
Yeah, this is it, the home I will raise bean in. Since all this bullshit happened, I do feel at ease and I can’t wait to start this new adventure.
