Free This Broken Beautiful Thing by Sophie Summers Page A

loved you from the very moment I saw your pretty blue eyes that matched your fathers. I only ever wished that I was your mother and that you were mine…” she says wiping away the tears from her face with her tattooed fingers. I sit on my knees and give her a hug as I tell her in her ear.
    “ You are my mom, I am yours ….and Daddy’s.” This makes her cry harder and squeeze me tighter, a few stray tears fall from my eyes, this is very unlike Anna, she doesn’t show emotion easily.
    “Anyways , I knew that even though your father cheated on me during one of his vulnerable moments I still loved him and wanted him, you just have to work it out. I swear it will get better. I know its hard babes but you are a strong girl. If you love each other enough, you will find your way back.” She says wiping away all her tears.
    “I guess you ’re right but that could never happen… he’s with her now, she’s living in the apartment that was supposed to be ours. I lost my boyfriend and best friend in one night. Crazy right?” I say sadly looking down at my nails trying to swallow down the tears and the sobs from escaping.
    “Oh no…he’s with her. He cheated on you with Ashley!” she asks sounding angry.
    “ Yeah, I mean…they are perfect for each other and I’d like to say that I hope they would be happy together but that’s a lie. I hope they betray each other the way they did me and feel the heartbreak they put me through.” I say feeling hatred surging through me.
    “ Yeah you’re right! They don’t deserve you babe. You are too good for them.” she says seriously and I smile.
    “ Let’s go see what your dads up to?” She pulls me out the room and we stroll down the stairs toward the club. We head into the club and there’s a couple of people  inside, I notice a couple girls I’ve never seen before wearing really skimpy outfits  making me feel like a nun with my sun dress that hangs mid-thigh.
    Anna puts her arm over my shoulders as she guides me towards the back of the bar area. We walk passed Jace who is surrounded my half naked woman , one goes to sit on his lap, she’s got pitch black hair and her big boobs are held tightly up in a bikini with a small skirt on and strappy heels on. As soon as she sits down Jace tells her to get off and he makes eye contact with me, I laugh at his rudeness towards the woman and he smiles back at me then winks. A couple of the girls turn around to look at who’s caught his attention.
    Anna pushes me towards a large door and knocks on it . A big man opens it, I only see his chest, I look up to see Ryan smiling down at me looking ever so handsome just like his son.
     
    “Look who came to visit me, Prez.” Ryan says as he puts his arm over my shoulder.
    “I think she came to visit me actually, Buck.” My dad chuckles waving me over.
    “ Come here baby girl, meet the rest of the guys.”
    I walk towards him through all the bulky men, the large room has about thirty people in it. There are men sitting around one long table as well as men standing around the room. I eventually make my way to my father who is sitting at the head of the table in a big leather chair. He gestures for me to sit on his lap so I move to sit on one of his legs.
    “ Boys, I want to officially introduce you to my baby girl, Harley.” Dad says excitedly from behind me and all the men cheer, whistle and hoot. Anna and my father start laughing and I blush.
    The noise softens . “She’s off hands to all of you!” he says in a stricter tone. I hear Ryan’s deep laugh on the opposite side of the large room.
    “Beside s Raven… of course...” my dad snickers and I raise my eyebrow looking back at him.
    “She’s gorgeous Grimm… but she doesn’t look like she belongs here." A guy standing to my right says and I can hear my father laugh from behind me.
    “I think she will fit in just fine .” someone says through the crowd, I look over to him and do a double take….Raven.
    I smile at
