due to your own acts.”

Gunner grabbed DeeDee’s hand and dragged her out of the kitchen.

Dana lifted her nose, glared at Winona then turned on her heel and stormed out of the kitchen.

Boone looked over at his woman and grinned. “I wondered what it would take to ruffle your back. Now I know.”

Winona glanced at him with tears in her eyes. “You don’t know what that woman means to me,” she admitted. “When I opened up the bakery, I was struggling. I was so out of my element, I didn’t know which way to turn. Then she showed up and we just worked, you know. It was like meeting someone I was supposed to know all my life.” Shaking her head, she added, “I guess maybe I was.”

Boone nodded but remained silent as he took her hand in his.

She stared at Boone. “What are the odds this circle came around again? It all comes back to where it all began.”

He just shook his head. “Well come on, I gotta hear this explanation.” Boone grabbed her hand and dragged her out into the dining room.

Everyone was already seated and some of them were eating already.

As soon as Boone and Winona took their seat, Gunner got to his feet commanding the attention of the room. “Something has come to my attention and I want to share it with the rest of you.” He looked over at Moose and said, “We need to get Blacky up here to face new charges.”

Moose got up and left for the basement.

Gunner looked down at DeeDee, “Can you get the money?”

DeeDee got up and went down to her bedroom.

When she returned a few minutes later, Blacky was being led into the room. His hands were tied behind his back and when he passed her, he took note of what was in her hands. His eyes narrowed and he lifted his eyes to her as he snarled. “You fucking little bitch.”

Moose shoved him over to a chair and sat him down hard. “Shut your mouth motherfucker,” Moose grumbled. “It’s time to listen.”

DeeDee walked over to where Gunner was waiting for her. She handed him the package in her hand and sat down again.

Winona was on her other side and reached out her hand to her mom.

DeeDee grabbed her and just held on. She wasn’t so much afraid of Blacky but she was nervous about how Gunner’s MC would receive her story.

“Most of you know our history,” Gunner began. “For those of you who don’t, this club was started by six men. I was one of those six men. Blacky was another. When we began, we chose to go legit and we also began a bounty hunting service. When he asked if he could start his own business adventure, we didn’t object. As long as it didn’t affect the club we pretty much let the guys do what they wanted. Most of the men took jobs outside the club, they would come and go as needed. Blacky was the only one that didn’t tell anyone what he was doing. And we all now know what that was. Then I met DeeDee Racer. She was Blacky’s cousin but as he was part of the MC, I didn’t care. She and I were an item and in time she got to be my old lady.” He paused and shook his head. “I didn’t realize back then how much Blacky hated me and this MC and everything we stood for.” He turned his head and glared at the other man.

Gunner went on and on and the whole story finally came out. Everyone listened as he explained the events of the past. He told them why DeeDee left the club and what happened when his babies were born and what happened next. He told his brothers about how Blacky left her to bleed to death after Dana was born. Then he told them how DeeDee found Winona and how she found her way back to the club.

When he was finished, every man sitting there knew what happened. Including the fact DeeDee had taken his ill gotten money that he’d received from Yeta.

Gunner opened the package and the diamonds spilled out on the table. “Blacky is already under a death sentence for his actions against the club. Yeta is probably already dead but now we have to decide what to do with the money he accepted to betray us.”

“That money is mine!” Blacky shouted. “Mine... not yours. You don’t have to worry about it at
