Sarah POV:

I sat in Adam's living room on the couch with tears streaming down my face as he screamed at me.

"What the hell did I tell you about talking to him?" He yelled in my face and grabbed my wrist.

"Kade is a club member, Adam. He's my friend." I begged as I cried harder. This only made him angrier and he slammed his fist into my stomach.

"Get the hell out of here. I'll call you when I've calmed down." He said and pushed me away from him.

Luckily when I got to the apartment my sister, Lana and I shared, she wasn't home. She must have been with Cole.

This abuse had been going on for nearly a year. I was so afraid to tell the MC because I knew Adam would have been killed if one of them had found out.

Lana and I had cut off contact with our father about two months prior due to the way Lana was being treated at home. Our dad never really understood my sister and I. I didn't understand why but he had always been more lenient with me than Lana. The worst part about it is that I don't think he even noticed.

"I'm home!" Lana called out. Luckily all my bruises had been covered by the time she got here.

"Hey." I said, walking out of the bathroom. "How was your day with Adam?" Lana asked. 

I wanted to tell her what was going on because we told each other everything. 

"Good. He made me dinner." I replied with a fake smile.

"A man that can cook? That's rare. Cole tried to cook last night and almost caught the damn kitchen on fire." Lana replied, laughing lightly.

Kade POV:

I sat in Samuel's office along with Ryder and Marley.

"Have any of you talked to the girls?" Samuel asked.

Samuel had a falling out with the twins after Lana started dating her boyfriend, Cole.

Lana had been attacked a few months earlier by two men on the street as she was walking home from class.

After ditching her guards to go on a date, shit hit the fan with her, Samuel and Ryder.

They were honestly over reacting. All of them. To be honest, I agreed that Lana should have had a guard with her but Ryder and Samuel were making a bigger deal about it than necessary.

"I talked to Sarah a few days ago. She and Lana are doing good." I said.

"They still pissed?" Ryder asked. "We didn't talk about what happened. We were mostly just catching up." I replied.

"It's weird not having them around." Sam told us. "I mean, I can try to talk to them but I don't think they will be changing their minds any time soon." I said.

I looked over to Ryder and saw the disappointed look on his face. I knew how much he cared about Lana and regretted all the shit he said to her. She honestly didn't deserve it.

"Anyway, we have a shipment to move today, so lets get going." Sam said and lead out to the bikes.

Sarah POV:

I sat, crying on my bed most of the night that night. My ribs were bruised and I was sure one or two were broken. It hurt to even breath. Each and every day I was in pain.

Adam's abuse has been getting worse. He gets things in his head that I'm constantly cheating with people in the club when in reality, he is the unfaithful one. I can't count how many messages from different women I've gotten glimpses of on his phone. The first time it happened I confronted him about it and that was when the abuse started.

I just wanted to be happy with him again like I used to be. He was so sweet when we first met but the longer I stayed, he started with the verbal abuse, saying that I was stupid and ugly. He would tell me that he is the only man that would ever love me because no one else would want to put up with a drama queen.

I tried everything to make Adam happy but now, nothing was ever good enough for him. Every meal I made was either too done or not done enough and would beat me every time I wouldn't make the food exactly the way he wanted it. He told me I did all these things just to upset him.

I was miserable every day of my life but he told me that if I ever left him he would kill me. I believed him because I've seen enough being an MC to know better.

I just hoped that one day I could get away from him and find someone that would love and care for me.
