Summary: Extremely AU. Chloe Losa was running out of options after learning that her visa would soon expire. So her older brother Obispo "Bishop" Losa takes matters into his own hands and arranges for her to marry his "boss" Miguel Galindo. Yet the new spouses didn't count on falling for each other… [Galindo/OC, Bishop/OC, Alvarez/OC]
Author's Note: So while I do see some chemistry between Emily and Miguel, it's just not enough for me to properly and completely be supportive of the ship. For this she will be with someone else though she and Miguel share custody of their son.
Chapter One
"It's not as if you have a choice in the matter, Chloe. Your visa is going to expire and you'll have to be sent back across the border," Obispo "Bishop" Losa says to his younger sister Chloe, who sat across from her biker brother in a Santo Padre diner.
"I read over the documents too, Bishop. I saw what they said," Chloe snaps in response, swirling a bite of her pancake around with the fork in her hand. Bishop reaches out across the table to stop Chloe's fervent movements, making her look up at him. "Lo siento, Obispo. Lo siento por chasquearte."
"It's not your fault, hermana, and you had every right to snap at me," Bishop tells her. His smile is soft & genuine enough that it has Chloe smiling back. Though there were moments where Bishop's charm was irresistible, the Hispanic woman is grateful to have him since the devastating and unexpected deaths of their parents shortly after Chloe got out of an arranged marriage deal/contract – thanks to Bishop putting his foot down about his only sister being pushed forcibly into a loveless arranged marriage she didn't want. Chloe's deep thoughts drift off when her older brother speaks once more. "Let me talk to Miguel…"
Chloe shakes her head. "No, not one of your biker friends, Obispo. You know how I feel about them."
"Miguel Galindo is the head of the Galindo cartel, Lo. He's a bit rough around the edges when you first meet him and I know it won't be easy to get along with him but…" Bishop starts to say before his sister interrupts him.
"Introduce me to him! Please!?" Chloe asks, bouncing around on her side of the booth in an excited manner.
Bishop chuckles in a deep & throaty manner and, still clasping Chloe's hand, he agrees to her excited demands. "Si. I'll give him a call right now." Getting to his feet, Bishop squeezes Chloe's hand before letting go to walk out of the diner in order to call Miguel. As soon as Chloe is by herself, she does her best to come up with how to introduce herself to Miguel the moment they meet. Should I speak in the mother tongue, in English or a combination? Chloe thinks to herself as she finishes eating what's left on her plate. The brunette is just gulping down what is left in her glass of milk when her brother returns. "I'm going to take you to him."
Chloe nods, puts some money on the table, and follows Bishop out of the Santo Padre diner. However before Chloe can wrap her slender fingers around the spare helmet Bishop took with him every time he had an extra passenger, Bishop's cell phone rings and the siblings both groan at the interruption. "You're ditching me, aren't you?" Chloe asks with a frown, letting go of the helmet.
In a gentle, brotherly manner, Bishop presses a kiss to first Chloe's temple and then one to her forehead. "Eras mas importante que cualquier otra cosa, Chloe Marie Losa," he says in a whisper. "Y realmente lo siento."
"Si, I know." Chloe hugs her older – and only – brother in a brief but fierce embrace. Watching as he calls Miguel back and asks the cartel leader to send one of his most trusted drivers to come & pick Chloe up from the diner. Once his phone call with Miguel has finished, Bishop gives Chloe's forehead one final brotherly & affectionate kiss. "Te amo, hermano."
"Te amo, hermana," Bishop replies with a soft smile forming, making his lips curl upward. He was the luckiest man alive to call himself Chloe's brother and the smile remains on his face during the entire ride to join his biker brothers.
Back at the diner, Chloe plops down onto the bench outside of the eating establishment. Her thoughts begin to become plagued with possibilities. Would she be a good wife & mother? Would he trust her with the secrets of the cartel life or would he keep her in the dark to protect her from harm? Chloe's thoughts drift off as a dark SUV pulls up but she is quick on her feet the moment her gaze catches sight of a familiar deep scowl from the driver's seat of the SUV. Turning on both feet, Chloe barely feels them touch the ground as she runs to get away from the man who chases after her.
Even though she knows she won't be able to outrun someone as tall & menacing as Hector Vasquez, Chloe wants to make sure she's somewhere safe to call Bishop and alert him that Hector was in Santo Padre. Chloe is just outside the police station when her head of dark hair is grabbed forcefully enough to bring her head back. "Por que mi estas haciendo esto?" Chloe manages to whimper out.
"Porque nadie puede tener lo que es mio," Hector growls, pressing the barrel of a gun into her spine.
"Nunca fui tuya!" Chloe spits out in anger, fighting him as he drags her back to the SUV. Hector forces her into the front passenger seat & slams the door behind her. Chloe quickly scrambles to lock the doors and crawls over, shielding her face with her arms as Hector uses the butt of the gun to shatter the window.
"Has cometido un gran error, carino," Hector says without remorse. "Y solo te cuesta tu vida."
Chloe obeys his silent command to get into the back seat, hoping Bishop would figure out that she wouldn't be going to Miguel Galindo's. Still Chloe digs into her pocket without Hector noticing and pulls her cell phone free, activating her GPS alarm, before quickly hiding it between the seats.
At the clubhouse, Bishop & Marcus Alvarez emerge from Templo to their phones softly pinging with an alarm alert. The cousins look at each other before gathering the other bikers to head out on their motorcycles.
Before they leave completely, Bishop calls Miguel Galindo. "Hola?"
"Hola, es Obispo. Queria hacerle saber que estamos en nuestro camino para rescatar a Chloe," Bishop says without hesitation.
"Por que? Ella esta bien?" Miguel asks with concern.
"Aun no sabemos," Bishop replies. To be honest Bishop really didn't know what Hector Vasquez planned to do now that he had Chloe but Bishop wasn't going to let anything happen to his only sister. Ending the phone call Bishop prepares to put his phone away but changes his mind and calls his wife Bailey, who answers immediately. "Hola, bebe; can't stay on the phone long. Just wanted you to hear it from me first."
"What's happened, Obispo?" Bailey asks, concern flooding her voice at the very thought of her day going from good to bad.
"Chloe has been kidnapped, bebe," Bishop replies, his emotions causing his throat to clog a little at the very thought of anything happening to his family. "We're heading out to look for her but I–I wanted to call & tell you in person."
"Okay. Remember how much I love you," Bailey says, knowing that would help her husband find Chloe before the unthinkable happens. She knows that Chloe is the only other person still alive in his immediate family and it will devastate him if he loses her.
"Si, siempre," Bishop tells his wife before they end the phone call.
Starting up the engine to his motorcycle, Bishop heads out to find Chloe with the others in his club. His brothers. Not just because they have or wear leather or ride motorcycles.
They were family.
Familias like theirs are one of a kind.
And this familia have a mission to go on – rescue Chloe & bring her home.
Author's Note: So I'm not the steadiest when it comes to updating – especially the fan fictions I write by hand – but the more comments & reviews I get will make me write & update faster! I wrote this chapter mainly as a filler/starter but Chapter 2 will be exploring more with Chloe & Miguel and her recovery.
