Broken Prize
Cracked down the middle
Shatters into pieces
A prize is a prize
Yet when broken apart
Do you throw it away?
Or put it to the side
Forget about the one that’s broken
Move on to the new and shiny
Nothing is as it seems
Lies and deceit are all you see
Cracks and shattering are never enough
The heart can only take so much
Can you see the prize in front of your eyes?
Don’t forget the broken
And move to the new and shiny
Lies and deceit are a part of you
Shiny and new the prize will haunt you
Cracked and shattered are the one you always look back to
Broken inside the prize is still with you
~ E.C. Land
Prologue
Venom
Three Months Ago
Can this day get any more fuckin’ worse? It started with a phone call from a number I knew but I didn’t answer for a reason. Why’s she calling me now? I don’t know but I sure as hell don’t feel like talking to her.
Not now and honestly, I don’t think I ever want to speak to her again.
I’m already in a mood to draw blood and now following my brothers into a dangerous situation after Cane’s ol’ lady, Parker, had been kidnapped from an ambush. Harley, the woman I claim as my little sister, is with her and that shit pisses me off. Both women have been through a fuck of a lot. However, this could be a major setback for Harley after she’s come so far.
Cane stands next to me and I can feel the fury radiating off of him. “Keep it together, brother,” I say. We need him to stay calm for now.
“She’s gonna be okay,” Whip mutters from the other side of Cane.
Our VP pulls out his phone, reads whatever is on the screen, and nods. “Vi’s inside and in a location filled with a container of women. Said one of them didn’t look too good. There’s about thirty men total inside. Most of them were taking advantage of the women.”
Oh fuck.
This isn’t going to be good.
Not one bit.
What we’re facing is similar enough to what I’ve dealt with for years.
Blaze gains our attention by clicking his flash like two times. Glancing at him, he holds up his phone. “Raven’s saying she’s got eyes on Lavina, who’s just stepped out of a room Chigger dragged Parker from following one of his men. Lavina has none other than Cherry and Peaches with her and both of them are naked and on leashes heading in the opposite direction.”
Fuckin’ sick and twisted bitch. She deserves a bullet to the head.
“I’m goin’ after my woman,” Cane announces.
“Agreed. Take Venom with you, the rest of us will go after the others. This shit ends here,” our Prez, Stoney, declares.
“What about Lavina?” Ranger asks, his fist clenching at his sides. I know the man wants the stupid bitch for what she helped do to Harlow.
“We’ll deal with her later. Right now, the task at hand is getting Parker to safety and whoever these other women are,” Stoney states.
I couldn’t agree more. The women who were being abused and Parker need to take precedence. We’ll get the bitch at some point.
I pull my gun from its holster and follow after my brother in the direction Raven went. The sounds of a woman’s screams penetrate the air and I hope to God it’s not my brother’s woman.
Sticking to the shadows, Cane and I silently make it through the building coming up on where Chigger and Cane’s woman, Parker, are.
“Whatever, Parker, now shut up.” Dude is just asking for a bullet.
“No, I won’t shut up,” Parker yells, sticking up for herself. I’d grin if it weren’t the wrong fuckin’ time for her to be doing something like this.
“You fucking bitch. You want to fight me. Go ahead, see if you can get past me. I’ll kill you first. Fuck the money I could get with you. There’s dime a dozen women who are worth far more than you. Maybe I’ll take the other women who belong to those scumbags you want to be a whore to,” Chigger yells.
Glancing over to Cane I meet his gaze as the two of us sneak up on the bastard. How this asshole could be in charge of anything, is ridiculous.
Chigger takes a step toward Parker causing her to step back. She’s cornered with nowhere to go since there’s only a wall right behind her.
“I’m not an object to be sold, nor am I a whore. I’m a person who only wanted to live her own life. Not to be dictated to by her brother,” Parker screams, terror filling her gaze. She’s scared but doesn’t want to give up.
Chigger goes to hit Parker and Cane moves first, placing his gun to the side of the
