Chapter 110 Alyssa
Isaac's gaze rakes over me, his mouth twisting with disgust. I know exactly what he's thinking. Tight clothes, makeup-
things he always despised. Not because he cared about how I looked, because I wasn't what he wanted. I realize now that no matter how hard I tried back then, I'd never be 62, muscular, at hung like a goddamn horse ready to shove my cock into his ass and mouth- you know, like the fantasies he hates himself for.
I cross my arms over my chest, forcing my tone calm despite the malice burning beneath. "I thought you said we don't bring the law into family matters."
His head tilts, a razor-sharp smile cutting across his face. "That's
before you ran off with my
daughter, tried to hit me with a fucking car and hid behind a bunch of
thugs for months. He says the word "thugs like a curse, daring me to react.
"I didn't kidnap Zuri," I snap, my voice rising despite trying to remain calm. "You said you'd kill me. Bury me where no one would ever find me. We weren't safe there anymore."
A low, dark chuckle rumbles from him, the sound making my skin crawl. "Your imagination's
always been a little too active, sweetheart. Twisting my words, making me look like a villain. But it's not your fault. His tone sofiens into mock concern Your mental health hasn't been the same since you lost the baby
The words slice through me like a poison-
dipped dagger, stealing my breath away. Of course, this is the narrative he's going with. He's a fucking liar. He's blamed me since the day it happened-
first for not telling him I was pregnant, then for daring to attend my mother's funeral against his wishes,
I guess losing my baby was my punishment.
Isaac's expression melts into
something almost sympathetic, but know it's only for show. "It's not too late to fix this. Come home. I'll get you into the best facility money can buy, and maybe then, after you've gotten the help you obviously need, I can look past your infidelity and your little stunt of taking my daughter from me.” The urge to punch him in his fucking face nearly overwhelms me, but I swallow it down, locking my hands into fists at my sides. This is what he wants-
to make me lose control in front of the officer so it looks like I'm the unstable one.
Who knows what he's told them about me, but by the wary looks on their faces, it's not good. If I fuck around and lash out at him right now, he'll look like an innocent victim just trying to did the right thing for his family.
My chest tightens, bile rising in my throat at the thought. What if they believe him? What
if they force me to go back home with him, just like they did last time when he threw money their way? Or worse...
what if they take Zuri?
Isaac must see the flicker of doubt in my eyes because his smirk widens. He's winning, and he knows it
"I won't go willingly with you," I manage, my voice cutting through the knot of fear in my chest. "If you want to press charges, go ahead. But I'm never walking back into that house, ac Isaac's brows raise just slightly-a subtle tell I know all too well. He's about to strike.
He pulls out a bright orange envelope from his suit jacket and holds it
out for me take. "Fine, don't say I didn't warn you Let's make this official.
I swallow hard. What the fuck is that?
I snatch the envelope, tearing it open with shaking hands. Divorce summons. Custody papers. The legal jargon swims before hay eyes as I scan the documerits.
"You want full custody of Zuri?" I laugh bitterly, the sound sharp and laced with disbelief. "You've never even changed a diaper."

His eyes glimmer with wicked amusement. "That's what my mother's for. She's far better suited to raising a child than an unhinged, adulterous woman playing house with a criminal."
The jab lands, but I refuse to give him the satisfaction of seeing
His tone changes, pointed and condescending. "Speaking of your thing...
it's fascinating what you learn when you dig a little deeper. Kaiden Sterling, right? Arrested five times this year alone
Kaiden??? My stomach drops, a strange mix of confusion and betrayal swirling within me. Holy shit, King isn't his real name? How has no one ever mentioned this to me? How has he never ntioned it?
Fuck. I don't have time to think about this right now, but he will be hearing my mouth later.
Isaac watches my reaction with barely concealed glee. "From my professional experience, only people with something to hide change their names. Doesn't that concern you, or were youho blinded by his dick and money to care?" I ignore the fact that he's practically calling me a gold-
digging whore, instead worry spikes through me knowing he could use all of this information against me
in court. And what else does he know?
Isaac hums, the sound
snug and satisfied. "Here's the deal, sweetheart. Now that I have all the evidence I need to prove our daughter is living
in dangerous conditions, I could have her placed in my mother's care within the next twenty-
four hours. Judges are surprisingly cooperative when you have the right leverage."
My eyes widen as realization dawns. Evidence. Of course, he's been building a case against me. He's likely had Pl's following me around, photographing my every move, digging into the lives of everyone I've come to trust.
Iwas worried this entire time that he was planning on dragging me back to his house of horrors, but really, his plan is to destroy my life so I have no choice but to come crawling back to him.
"What can I do to change your mind?" The words slip out between clenched teeth, hot
tears stinging the back of my eyes. But I refuse to let them fall
Isaac leans in his voice dropping to
a lethal whisper. "Come home, Alyssa. O'll destroy everything. Your brother, his pathetic little
club... His eyes flicker to my net
his scowl deepening. "Your lover. And then, finally, I'll take Zuri. Piece by piece, I'll rip apart everything you care about. Or. His smirk spreads, pure malice twisting his face. "You can spare them all by being a good
girl and doing what I say Content

1 glare at him with the heat of a thousand suns. Fuck him! If the police weren't here, I'd drag him right over to the boys and let them have their fun before I put a bullet in his skull
The satisfaction radiating from him
is one of a predator about to pounce on its prey. "Don't look at me like
that, sweetheart," he sneers, his net
voice filled with mock sympathy. "You always knew it would end this way. I always win. But right now, you can choose who gets hurt in the crossfire." Content belongs to

My stomach churns, anger and fear surging through me. He thinks he's already won, that I'll get down on my knees and kiss his feet like I used to when I didn't know any better.
Not this fucking time.
I let my drift over my shoulder to Gray. Our gazes lock, and recognition crosses his features. He knows what I'm asking of him. The promise he made to keep the guys out of this, to let me fight my own battles.
His jaw clenches, and he shakes his head in disagreement, but I don't need him to agree with me right now. I just need him to keep his promise to me.
1 turn back to Isaac, squaring my shoulders as I bury the fear gnawing at me. My voice is steady-
ice over fire. "I'll go with you."
Isaac's brows lift slightly, the surprise in his expression barely masked by the cockiness. "Oh? Suddenly ready to come to

wel
your senses, are we
I bite back a retort. He knows he didn't give me a fucking choice Whatever evidence he's gathered could get Zuri taken away from me until 1 get a fucking court date, and even then, knowing Isaac, he's already paid the judges off to not believe shit I
say.
There's a chance I'll never see her again if I don't do this. But still I need him to promise me something, to leave Zuri out of this. Far away from his evil fucking mother.
"I have one condition," I say, cutting through his goatling. "Gray and his wife get guardianship of Zuri."
I know there's no way in hell he'd
agree if I asked to give her to King,
or the other guys, so I'll settle for what I can get. Isaac doesn't really care about Zuri's well-being anyway, so Gray being the president of the MC won't be a problem with

Isaac's expression falters for a fraction of a second, suspicion darkening his features. "Why them?"
"Because they're my family," I reply, holding his gaze. And because I know my brother will keep her
safe."
And hand her right over to my men. Well, hopefully. I don't really see Christine willing to raise her when she's pushing Gray so hard for one of their own.
And why am I even thinking too deeply into that, anyway? I do plan on breaking my promise to King, I will come back. This
won't be a sacrifice, I have a job to do. I just hope they can understand.
And if they don't? I'm sure I'll enjoy the punishment I'll earn.
There's a long pause as Isaac studies me, his lip curling into
a thin, vile smile. Fine," he relents, the word dripping with mock generosity. "For now, at least. But don't think this changes anything, Alyssa. I've still won'
For a moment, my decision presses down on me like a crushing de, but I keep my chin high, my eyes locked on his. He may think he's won, but he doesn't realize what I'm willing to do to protect the people I love.
I shift my weight, letting my fingers brush against the gun tucked safely in my pocket. The cold, hard metal grounds me, giving me the strength I need.
I just need to kill my husband before he kills me.
I mean, how hard can that possibly be!
