Chapter 87.
Kaden POV.
I have gone nomad, rogue as I look for my girls. I handed the title of president to Havoc on the promise I would return and take it back once I have found them both.
It has been nearly six weeks since I last saw Courtney. She is getting closer to her due date and I’m going out of my mind with worry. What if Chloe found her and killed her? What if Courtney is hurt and scared? I need to find them before it is too late.
Another town and another dagger in my heart. No sign of her. So I grab the map and cross the town off the list. In the next town, I need to find a motel. I need to sleep, and a hot shower. I
also need a laundromat. I may be a biker, but even the thought of wearing the same dirty
clothes is not appealing to me.
Fabio and Richie are sending me locations. We ruled out the cities because Courtney is clever, so we are focusing on the smaller towns.
I ride around the town and come to a square. There is a laundromat and I get off my bike and grab the saddle bag and carry it inside and the lady looks at me with intrigue but fear.
“Evening ma’am. Is it ok if I do some laundry?” I ask her, and she gulps and nods her head as
she takes me in.
“Yes, of course. Do you need detergent?” She asks and I nod at her and smiles before she walks around the counter and hands me a small box and I thank her as I get to work loading
the machine and get it started.
“Is there a motel in town?” I ask her, and she nods her head and walks to me and points
across the square.
“Thanks, I will be back soon.” I say to her and grab my saddle bag and walk out of the laundromat and across the square to the motel. I walk up the white wooden steps and open the door. I step inside and feel the need to sleep take over.
“May I help you?” the man says as he walks towards me.
“Yes, I need a room for the night. Don’t worry, I won’t cause any trouble. I just need to sleep been on the road for a long time.” I say, and I know I look like s**t. Big bags under my eyes, my hair is in a messy bun and my bones are aching. I desperately need a shower and a shave. I
feel like the walking dead at this point.

“Of course, that will be two hundred dollars.” He says and I pull out my wallet and hand him the bills and he checks me in and hands me a key.
“Second floor room twenty–two. Dinner is included in the price, and we serve dinner at seven, so you have three hours. Breakfast is optional. Enjoy your stay,” He says and I nod my thanks and grab the key and walk towards the stairs.
I walk and my boots sound loud against the wooden flooring as I reach my door. I unlock it
and walk inside.
The room is nice, warm and cosy. The bed is plush and full. Those pillows look so good. I drop my saddle bag and reach inside, looking for my only clean pair of jeans, t–shirt and underwear. The rest are being washed.
I walk to the bathroom and not bother looking around. I take a shower the thoughts of Courtney enter my head and not in a s****I way. I sob, resting my head against the shower wall.
“Where are you Court? Are you both safe? Please baby, come back to me. I love and need you.” I sob harder, tired and worried. After a while after I washed my body and hair. I shut the shower off and dry myself, throwing on my boxer briefs and walk back to the bedroom.
I sit on the bed and rest my face in my hands and try to gain control of my emotions. I dress quickly and head back out to get my laundry. The lady was kind enough to put them in the dryer. I was in the shower for longer than I thought.
I did ask the lady if she saw Courtney. But she said she hadn’t. Each person I saw I asked, and they all said no. Heading back to the motel. I head upstairs and lock the door behind me.
Stripping back down, I climb into bed and hug the pillow to my chest and let sleep take me.
I wake up to my phone ringing. I open one eye and the sun is shining. f**k, I must have overslept. I climb out of bed and find my cut and take the phone out.
The number is a number I don’t know.
7
“Hello. Who is this?” I ask, and I hear a sob and my heart stops.
“Kaden, Kaden, I’m sorry.” I fall back onto the bed, my hands shaking and tears fall down my
face.
“Courtney, where are you, baby? Are you both ok? Please baby tell me where you are?” I say to her. I’m frantic as I hold the phone between my shoulder and ear as I quickly get dressed.
“We are both ok. We are both safe. Where are you?” She asks and I sigh thank you god for

keeping them both safe.
“I’m in a small town just outside of Texas. Where are you?” I ask her, and she gasps as I stand
- up.
“Baby, what is it?” I ask. My heart is racing.
“Where exactly are you?” she asks again and I give her the name of the motel and she hangs
- up.
“Courtney, Courtney! No.” I redial the number, but it just rings out. f**k!
I grab my stuff and walk down the stairs and walk outside to grab my bike when I turn it on
and rev the throttle a few times turning the bike around as I ride around the square and head
towards Main street only to stop as a black SUV pulls up and blocks my path.
“You f*****g i***t! You trying to kill me?” I shout as the back door opens and I feel my knees
buckle from under me.
“Courtney.” I whisper as she waddles as fast as she can to get to me. I meet her halfway and
scoop her up into my arms.
“I thought I would never see you again. I’m so sorry baby, I’m sorry I never told you the truth.
God, I’ve missed you.” I say to her and she clutches me tight to her and bean kicks and I move
back and check her over.
“We are ok Kaden. I’m sorry I ran, I’m sorry I never contacted you until now. I needed to think. I
was selfish. I’m sorry.” She says, tears leaving her eyes when I hear another door closing and I
kiss Courtney.
“Don’t you ever apologise to me. But no more running. I have been going out of my mind.” I say
to her when I hear a chuckle. I pull away from Courtney and see the little devil Russian woman
as she leans her hip against the SUV with her arms folded over her chest.
“Hello Venom.” I look from Katya to Courtney, and Courtney grimaces.
“She didn’t find me until last night. She told me everything. I’m sorry Kaden for making you
worry,” Courtney says and I shake my head.
“No, I don’t want to hear it. You are safe, you’re here, and that’s what matters. But please baby, no more running away. Not unless it with me by your side.”
