The Demenios Reyes

Chapter 7 - Return Of An Old Friend.

Adrianna's P.O.V.

Today has been a very productive day for me.

After my meeting with my mom, I left to go and see my new garage and to see if any progress has been made since I last saw it.

I purchased this shop about six months ago and I've had people working hard on it day and night so that I can get it open for business as soon as possible.

I've never seen my shop in person and have only ever seen it through photographs my father or one of my brothers have taken for me or through Facetime, so to actually see it in person was very surreal and I felt so proud of it.

I was like a giddy little schoolgirl when I pulled up outside of my garage and I saw the sign which said McCarthy's Motors on it.

I had two other names picked out for my garage and I was torn between either Addy's Garage or Adrianna's Motors but in the end, I decided to go with McCarthy's Motors because as my brother Blake said, the chances of anyone wanting to break in or cause any trouble will be slim to none if they know this place is owned by us.

The town where all three of my family's businesses are is Aces and Eights territory and most of the businesses even the ones that aren't owned by us have got our club's logo stamped on them in some way or another so that anyone who is passing through knows who they're messing with if they decide to cause some s**t.

I remember an MC from Los Angeles came here a few years back intending to set up a business here, a club to be exact, one that they wanted to rival my mom's club but they didn't last long and were quickly sent packing after they threatened harm to me.

You see what happened was, I was walking back to my car to wait for my brothers who had gone to one of our local liquor stores when out of nowhere this guy slapped me on my ass and asked me how much, slut?.

I knew what the dickhead was referring to and I was absolutely livid, so I did what any normal, rational young woman would do in a situation like this, I kicked the dumbass in his family jewels and punched him twice in the face breaking both his nose and his jaw.

This pissed off his little group of friends who tried to come after me whilst calling me the usual derogative bullshit names like dumb slut, b***h, w***e etc and a few of them earned themselves either a black eye, a busted lip, some broken bones or all three if they were really lucky but then Chase and Blake had to show up and ruin my fun, didn't they?.

My brothers and I beat the holy crap out of the group of men and even after having their asses handed to them by us, they still felt the need to threaten us and threaten to make our lives hell.

They threatened to kill Chase and Blake and send their dismembered body parts back to our parents with a big red bow on each box and as for me, they planned to take me back to L.A. with them so that they could make me one of their club whores and pass me around all of their pack members as part of an initiation.

Now, I don't know if they were completely oblivious to who we were and who are families are or they knew and they just didn't care and they were trying to play Billy big bollocks with Ace and Samantha McCarthy's kids.

Personally, I think it was the latter because everyone in our realm knows who we are and they know that South Dakota, specifically Deadwood is our town.

Either way, they messed with the wrong people and it didn't take us long to have them chased back to L.A. where they belong with a threat of death if they ever returned.

Anyway, after visiting my garage which should be open within the next week or so, I also visited my dad's restaurant Adrianna's Palace which was named after my late grandmother to check on things before heading to my mom's nightclub The Luna's Den.

As soon as I arrived at the club, I got out of my car and went to head inside when I suddenly got this feeling like I was being watched.

I stopped and looked around but saw nothing and nobody was there.

Hmm, that's weird.

I head inside of my club and I was instantly greeted by the club's manager Parker who is an old friend of mine from kindergarten.

"Hey there, Vixen"

"Hey, Caramel"

I greet her back with a smile as she stands up to hug me.

I was given the road name Vixen by Javier on my sixteenth birthday because he said I'm a fierce and vivacious woman who oozes sexiness, he also said I'm a badass who embodies everything about the word, so it's only right that this is my road name.

I know it may seem weird because I was only sixteen at the time but even back then I could kick some serious ass whilst looking like a sexy badass.

As for Parker, I don't know who gave her this road name, I'm guessing it was also a boyfriend or an ex like me but I know why and it's because of the description of a darker-skinned person in the song with the same name which perfectly describes her '5' 5 with brown eyes, caramel complexion, a smile like the sunrise, body like heaven'.

"Damn, Vix, you look amazing"

"Me, what about you? you're practically glowing"

"Oh, shut up"

She said with a huge smile on her face as she waves a dismissive hand at me.

"You can act as coy as you want, Parker but you're forgetting I know you and I've known you ever since we were both little kids...you're hiding something from me or someone"

I say with a slight smirk on my face.

Parker's head immediately shot up and a nice rosy red tint appeared on her cheeks as she looked at me with panicked eyes.

"No, no there's nothing and definitely no one, there's definitely not anyone, I promise you"

"If you say so"

I said in a sing-song voice knowing full well that she's full of s**t.

"Anyway, can we talk about tonight, please?"

She asked obviously feeling desperate to change the subject.

"Ok, ok but just so you know, that was a nice diversion"

I said with a wink and she blushed even deeper.

"Whatever"

She says and I chuckle.

We then get down to business and talk about a masquerade party we're having here tonight.

My mom wanted my first night on the job to be a special one, so she's arranged and planned a masquerade party which she's been promoting around South Dakota for the past few weeks.

From what I've been told by both Caramel and my mom, tonight is going to be a very busy and insane night which is making me feel both nervous and excited.

"So, is this a free entry thing? do people have to pay to get in? what's going on?"

"Well, normally patrons would have to pay because this is an exclusive club and we don't wanna let just anybody in here"

That's true.

"But tonight, your mom has sold tickets for the event and if anyone wants to pay a one-off fee for a one-off entrance then they can they can also pay for a membership right there and then if they want to but the money won't be going towards the club, it'll be going towards your moms centre for abuse and s****l assault victims"

"Wow, that's such a good idea"

A couple of years after my mom had given birth to my brother Asher, she opened up a centre to help victims of abuse and the centre helps them to rebuild their lives by offering them a place to live, as well as weakly therapy sessions and training sessions so that they can become mentally, emotionally and physically stronger but most importantly so that they know how to defend themselves.

The centre also helps them to find jobs, as well as a permanent place to live within a pack of their own choosing and if they want to go back to college and get an education, they'll also help them with that and any funding they may need, that's how amazing this centre is.

It's also very important for us to keep this place open because without it, victims of abuse would have nowhere to go and they wouldn't be safe from those who want to cause them and their kids harm.

"I'm sorry, sir, we're not open yet...oh my"

I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard Parker's stern voice which suddenly turned into a shocked and lust-filled whisper.

What the hell?.

I looked at her confused before narrowing my eyes at the entrance to the club and I had to do a double take when I saw someone who I haven't seen in years.

Oh my god.

Is that who I think it is?.

"Xavier"

I say sounding shocked and he smirks at me.

"Hey, Addy"
