Chapter 6

I wake up and I am tied to a chair. I feel a hand lift my face up to look at him and he asks "Where's your father?" I don't answer. "Where is your father?" he asks again and I still don't answer. Punching me in the face he asks again "Where is your father?" I mumble "I don't know." I see him smirk and he says "Well, maybe your husband will tell us." I don't say anything. "Maybe when he sees his lovely wife all beaten and bruised, he'll give us what we want. What your father owes us." he tells me. "Just kill me. Please." I say softly. "What's that?" he asks. "Just kill me." I mumble out again. "Now why would you want us to do that? You're Old Man will come after you and give us what we want and you'll be back to your happy home." he tells me and I laugh. "Yeah." I say sarcastically. "What? Things not happy at home?" he asks, smirking before he continues beating me and I just sit there and take it. Maybe I'll get lucky and he'll kill me. "Take this to the SONS clubhouse. Let them see just how accommodating we are to his lovely wife." one man says.

A little later, the prospect comes in. "This was left at the gate." he says as he places the small box on the bar. Jax opens it and sees a flash drive. Juice grabs it and puts it in the computer and clicks play on the video. They all stand around watching as the man on the video, who's wearing a mask, beats me and they hear me plead with him to just kill me and telling them that Happy won't come for me. A few seconds later, Happy's phone rings. "Yeah." he says. "I guess by now, you've seen our little home movie that we made for you. You're beautiful wife seems to think you won't come after her. Such a shame. I hear she's a great lay." he says. "What do you want?" Happy asks, pissed. "Her father owes me money that I paid him for her. Either you get us her father, or you get us the money or she gets a flashback to her teenage years. I wonder if her pussy is still tight?" he asks. "How much?" Happy asks. "Ten grand." the man says. "Done." Happy says. "I'll text you the drop off spot. Once I have the money, you'll get the location she's being kept in." the man says. "Fine." Happy says before the call ends. "What do they want?" Jax asks. "Ten grand." Happy says. "I'll get it out of the safe." Bobby says before heading to the chapel. Jax can see him starting to fall apart. "What aren't you telling us?" Jax asks. "She told me that she just wanted a safe place to stay until we can get a divorce. She doesn't even want to try. You heard her. She was begging them to kill her. She wants out of this." he says. "What about you?" Jax asks. "I don't. I want to try to make it work. She doesn't." Happy says. "Do you blame her? The entire time you've been married you been hooking up with croweaters and treating her like shit. Hell, you were here fucking a croweater on your Goddamn wedding night." Tig says pissed. "I know. I fucked up and I need to make this right. And I will." Happy says.

An hour later, the money is being dropped off at the drop off point and the prospects are there watching the guys with Tig, Jax, Opie and Chibs to take the men down and take them to the warehouse. Seeing two men pull up and get out of the car, the guys rush forward and grab the men and knock them out. Putting them in the van, Opie takes the phone and sends a text to the only number listed in the phone telling them they have the money. A few minutes later, a text comes through with an address. Bobby, Happy, and Juice, head to the address and as soon as they walk in the doors, they grab the man that's there with me and shoots him on site. Happy rushes to me and cups my face. "Clara, look at me baby. Hey. Wake up baby please." he says as he tries to keep me from passing out. "Happy?" I ask. "Yeah babe. I'm right here. You're going to be okay. I got you." he says. "Why are you here?" I ask. He makes me look at him as Juice and Bobby untie me and says "You're my wife. We're not doing this shit your way anymore. You're my Goddamn wife and I need you here. You hear me?" he asks. I don't respond. Happy picks me up and takes me to the other van that's waiting.

Taking me into the clubhouse, Tara is waiting in my dorm to check me over. Happy stays by my side the entire time. "Clara, I have to ask. Did they…" she starts to ask and I say "No." Happy releases the breath he was holding. After Tara is done, she leaves us alone. I don't look at Happy. I just lay down in the bed. Happy covers me up and says "I'm going to have Gemma sit with you. I'm heading to the warehouse to handle this and when I get back, I'm coming to bed and holding my wife." he says. I just nod. "In the morning, after you've had some rest, we're working this shit out. We're in this. Together." he tells me. I still don't say anything. "I heard you telling them to kill you. That I wasn't coming for you. Don't ever think I won't come for you. I will always come for you. I need you here baby." he says before kissing my lips softly. "I'll be back soon." he tells me before getting off the bed and heading to the door. As he opens the door I say "Be careful." He turns to look at me and says "Always babe." before walking out the door on a mission.
