Free Catching Forever (BlackPath MC Book 2) by Vera Quinn Page B

to shut up, I don’t want to disrespect anyone here.” I want everyone to see I am perfectly calm and have had plenty of time to think this out.
    “This is your party girlie, say what you need to.” Hawser gives me a wink. Devil is not amused by it.
      “Dad did you bring the papers from Cross?” I’m hoping he didn’t forget. He reaches into his cut and takes the papers out. I walk over to dad and take the papers, but Dra is close behind me. I take them out of the envelope and I hand the ones to Hawser that are Devil’s. “Will you give these to Devil?” I know not to move in that direction because Dra would be right behind me. That would not be good. “You’re right Devil, I can’t get an annulment from you in Texas before the baby is born, and if I live with you until then, I can’t get an annulment at all. I have to divorce you. I had Cross investigate for me, but I can get one in Colorado after I am here ninety days and intend to live here. I will and I do. I didn’t live in Oklahoma long enough to be a citizen there. I have a postcard sent to me to prove my address. I enrolled in home classes at the closest Jr. College, so I have proof I intend to stay. These are my papers of intention. You are served with notice. I have no intention of keeping you away from your child, just me. Everything is spelled out in the agreement to be filed, at the back. We will have to go to court twice. Once for paternity and once for a child custody agreement. I think that is everything pertaining to our marriage and our child.” I stick to the basics. No reason to let emotions rule me. Just seeing Devil again is tearing my heart out. I didn’t think it would be this hard.
    “So you think it is going to be that easy to get rid of me. We’re married. You and that child belong to me. I made mistakes, but I know we can work them out if you’ll just try.” Devil seems sincere but not once has he said he loves me. “Let me explain.”
      “What difference does it make? Is it going to change the circumstances? But go ahead and explain, just so you know, there is nothing you can say now to change my mind.” I’ll give him the time, but I won’t let him touch my heart again.
      “I was in love with Bri.” I look at Devil and I can see in his eyes he knows the huge mistake he just made. Never once has he mentioned love for me since he has been here. Only I belong to him, but he has said love when it comes to Bri. From this moment on he could say anything and it won’t matter. “I said I thought I was in love with her.”
      “No you didn’t, you asshole.” Ty is quick to point that out but I had already heard it and now I know what I am doing is right.
    “Quiet down Tazer. Callie wants to hear him.” Hawser is still conducting how things go.
      “Like I was saying, I thought I loved Bri and I thought she was taken by Diamondback against her will. I had claimed her in front of my club and it was my responsibility to get her back. Diamondback sent us his demands. He wanted me to marry and get you pregnant. He said all he wanted was an heir. You’re his only child and he wants a grandson to carry on the name. After you were pregnant and we knew what you were having, I was to walk away. Give up my rights and he would release Bri. After our first talk with him he decided it didn’t matter if it was boy or girl, because his bloodline would continue.
    But after we met I liked you, and the lines got blurred. I don’t know why you’re so pissed. We were a business agreement. You got Tommy’s killer and the name of the person who sent them. I want you back. Bri played me. Diamondback is not happy that I didn’t walk away, and now your ex is riding with your DNA father. What do I have to do to get you back? You know we had something good starting. Stop being so childish and come home with me.” Devil is standing there and he is pissed, but everything he just said is running through my head. I think I understand
