Brandon's P.O.V.
"BRANDON, WHY DID YOU BEAT TRISTAN UP LIKE THAT? YOU'VE BROKEN HIS NOSE AND HIS WRIST, YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!"
"Brand, please answer your phone so I can explain everything to you, I don't know what Elena has told you but she's lying, Tristan never hurt her and he never would, he loves her too much, please call me back, brother"
"Brandon Daniel Donovan, this is your mother, what in the hell has gotten into you? Brandy has just called me and told me you beat up your poor brother-in-law because of Elena, why would you do that? you know what your sister is like and how she likes to make up stories and exaggerate things, come down to the hospital, son and apologise to him and make sure you bring Elena along with you since she started all of this mess"
"Brandon, it's mom again, answer your goddamn phone will you, we're all worried sick here and poor Tristan is going out of his mind with worry, oh and tell Elena to stop being dramatic and get her ass home now, she can't just walk out on her marriage because of a little spat"
These are just some of the disgusting and outrageous voicemails that I've received from my twin sister and my mom which have made my anger spike because it seems that they're blaming Elena in this and they're accusing her of being a liar and a dramatic b***h which isn't the case at all.
Elena is the f*****g victim here, she's the one who has been suffering for seven years with this fucker, she's the one who was being abused, she's the one who was cheated on and was forced to deal with narcissistic and toxic people.
If anyone is a liar and a dramatic b***h it's Tristan and Brandy but my mom won't see that, she only likes to see perfection in those two assholes.
I don't think I've ever been as irate as I am right now and my anger only seems to intensify and get stronger the longer I sit here and look at the beautiful and battered face of my unconscious baby sister as every cut, scratch, bruise and wound on her face and body reminds me of the horrifying moment when I witnessed Tristan viciously throw her into the marble staircase.
The attack was so bad that even my twin sister Brandy looked horrified when she saw her lover attacking our baby sister the way that he did and I swear I heard sympathy in her voice as she admonished Tristan for his actions but all of that quickly changed after I had made my presence known to them and she tried to make herself look like the victim in the situation.
Brandy must truly believe that the world revolves solely around her for her to believe that she can make herself the victim in a situation where she's one of the antagonists.
Both Brandy and my mom have tried to contact me in one way or another ever since I took Elena away from the mansion and I've ignored them both because I'm not interested in speaking to either of them at the moment, especially since I now know that they'll try and find a way to make Brandy look like the victim she's not and make my Ellie Bear look like the aggressor.
I know this because after I had arrived at the hospital and the doctors took Elena away from me, I had received a phone call from my dad who wanted to know what was going on, so I explained everything I knew and saw to him which was everything Elena had told me and my father who I could tell was pissed off as well told me that Brandy was telling a different story and is spinning the narrative like she always does and our mom being the gullible sap that she is, she's eating it all up.
Knock!!, Knock!!, Knock!!.
"Come in"
I said and my voice came out huskily thanks to all of the yelling I've been doing.
I was surprised when the door opened and I saw my uncle Carter walk in the room because I was expecting my best friend Tanner, not my uncle.
"Rage, what are you doing here?"
"Pres sent me because he had club business to deal with, question is boy, why didn't you call me about this? and why didn't you answer any of my calls or texts?"
Rage asks angrily and he had every right to feel this way, I mean, this is his niece after all even though it's his first time meeting her.
If you're wondering why, well, it's all my mother's fault of course.
My mother was raised in and around a biker MC which she hated because she always felt like she was too good for the lifestyle.
In her mind, she felt like she was better than bikers and their old ladies who she saw as beneath her, so when she met my dad and he proposed to her, she said that she'd only agree to marry him if he gave up the biker lifestyle and promised to move away from the Demon Kings MC with her to start a new and 'better' life in a new town which he stupidly agreed to.
She hated the lifestyle so much that she refused to acknowledge any of her family who were also members of the Demon Kings MC and she never told any of us about our grandparents or her own twin brother because she didn't want us to be affiliated with them.
The reason why is because she felt that they were beneath us and that they were low class like they were vermin or some s**t which isn't surprising behaviour from my mom who has always reminded me of that red-headed boujee chick from the show Desperate Housewives.
My mom has always been a stuck-up b***h wanting to live the boujee lifestyle living in the best neighbourhood, having friends who were rich and part of the elite, going to the country club, you know stuff like that, things that uptight, rich and very boring people do.
Our home wasn't a home, it was a showhome, a place where she could show off all of her wealth to all of her boring and snooty friends.
My mom also always had to look perfect at all times even when she was sleeping and would always try and make my dad and her kids look perfect as well making sure there were no stray hairs out of place.
She also tried to turn Brandy and Elena into mini versions of herself which she was successful at with my twin but she wasn't with my princess and it was a truly glorious sight to witness when Elena refused to dress or act like they did and instead chose to dress and act like a tomboy and do activities such as karate and jiu-jitsu which my mom hated because she thought of things like that as very masculine and not something women should get involved in.
"I'm sorry, uncle, I shut my phone off after I received the billionth voicemail from my mom and Brandy who are demanding that I bring Elena home so that she can apologise for her quote-on-quote behaviour"
I say and he scoffs.
"Behaviour? what behaviour? from where I'm looking Sniper, Elena is the victim in all of this, so what does she have to apologise for?"
He asks me and I run a hand through my short hair.
"Well, according to my dad, Brandy and Tristan have twisted the narrative to make Elena look like she was at fault and was the aggressor in the situation while making themselves look like victims"
"You're kidding me"
"Nope, listen to this"
I said as I pulled my phone out of my pocket and turned it on, I then played the voicemails to him from my mom and my sister and to say he was furious would be an understatement.
My uncle started to pace the room and take deep breaths in and out to control his anger and stop himself from losing his s**t.
I mean, he didn't inherit the road name Rage because he's a cool, calm and collected guy.
"f*****g bitches"
My uncle growled as he ran a hand through his longish hair.
"I am sorry I didn't call you, uncle but you need to understand that this girl right here is my life and I'd do absolutely anything to protect her and keep her safe, especially from toxic and narcissistic animals like her piece of s**t husband...I wanted to call you, I really did but I've been too worried about Elena ever since she called me a few hours ago to think or care about anything else, so I'm sorry for not answering you or for calling you about this but it wasn't intentional, I promise you"
"I know, kiddo"
Rage said as he walked over to the head of the bed and gently caressed Elena's uninjured cheek as he smiled down at her.
I've told him all about Ellie and have shown him numerous pictures and videos of her from over the years and he's always been super excited to meet her, kind of like a little puppy meeting it's new owner but neither he nor I could've predicted that he'd end up meeting her like this.
"She looks just like Caroline"
Rage says more to himself than to me as he referred to his other sister who had died many years ago from an accidental drug overdose when she was just eighteen.
"How is she?"
He asks me and I let out a sigh as I grab hold of Elena's uninjured hand and caress the back of it with my thumb.
"She's got a broken wrist and arm, three broken ribs and a fractured sternum, she's also got two head injuries, one minor injury at the back of her head and one major one at the front which is why she's currently unconscious, the doctors had to put her into an induced coma to control the swelling on her brain...they've also found a heavy dosage of the drug benzodiazepines in her system which they believe have been used to sedate her due to the high volume in her blood"
"He's been drugging her?"
Rage asks sounding shocked and I nod my head.
"I believe so"
"f**k"
Rage growled as he cupped Elena's face and shook his head whilst looking down at her.
"I'm so sorry you had to go through all of this, princess"
He said as he leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"What are we gonna do about this, Sniper? we're not gonna let this asshole get away with this, are we?"
Rage asks pissing me off.
"What do you take me for, Rage?"
I growled at him.
"I told you earlier that this girl is my life and I'll do absolutely anything to protect her and keep her safe...do you think that they're just some pretty words that I was spouting, huh?"
"Of course not, nephew, I was just wondering what your plan is, that's all"
He says and I let out a breath as I narrow my eyes back to Elena.
"Well, first of all, as soon as Viper calls me back and I arrange for some protection for Elena at the hospital, we're all gonna go and pay that prick a nice little visit and show him what happens when you put your hands on a woman and secondly, after we've done that, I'm gonna make arrangements with Viper to set up a safe house here in Black Hawk so that Elena can make some plans and arrange her divorce in peace"
"Can't we just kill the fucker and be done with it?"
"Don't tempt me, Rage"
I say with a chuckle.
"Killing Tristan is too easy...I want him to suffer every day for the rest of his life and I want him to live with the regret of losing Elena because deep down in his nasty black heart he loves Elena and losing her will be his biggest regret"
"What about Brandy and your mother?"
He asks me and I smirk at the thought of what I've got planned.
"I've already started my revenge on Brandy and by tomorrow morning, everyone in America will know what a nasty, scheming, homewrecking slut she is and because of that no company worth their salt will want to work with her, especially not her favourite and biggest contract Victoria's Secret"
"You're going for the jugular with her, aren't you?"
Rage asks while smirking as well.
"Of course"
I say as my smirk turns dark and evil.
"As for my mother...well, I don't really need to do much to get revenge on her"
"What do you mean?"
Rage asked me and I was silent for a few seconds before answering him.
"You know my mother better than I do, Rage, she's a stuck-up b***h who cares more about her image and social status than she ever did her family, I mean, your own parents lost out on meeting their grandchildren because she refused to allow us anywhere near bikers or the lifestyle, not wanting us to be influenced or drawn into it and they died knowing that their daughter hated and despised them for who and what they were"
I say while shaking my head angrily.
"My mother has always looked down on others because she believed she was better than them...she also believed that someone who is part of the 'elite' like her had the right to look down upon and criticise people who came from low-income families who had to rely on welfare just to get by or who came from rough neighbourhoods...I remember there was this one time when Elena was just a little girl, she had this little friend Ayesha who was black and my mom hated it, not because she was racist but because Ayesha came from a poor background where her parents had to work several jobs just to break even"
I said through gritted teeth as I remembered the memory like it was yesterday.
"My mom demanded Elena stop being friends with her but she refused and in the end, she was forced to lie and say that she had stopped being her friend just to get our mom off her back but then one day mom caught Elena and Ayesha playing together and she struck her telling her girls like her don't hang out with girls like Ayesha"
I said with a humourless chuckle.
"I knew exactly what she meant by it but Ayesha's brother didn't, so you can only imagine how he took it when I told him verbatim what she had said to Elena and it didn't take long for rumours to spread around town about her being a racist"
"Where are you going with this, Sniper?"
Rage asks confused as I continue to stare at my baby sister.
"When one only cares about their image and social status and making sure their image is squeaky clean, it's hard to do that when public opinion is against you"
"Meaning"
He says and I look up at my uncle with a stoic expression on my face.
"Meaning that once you're guilty of something in the court of public opinion it's hard to shake it even if you are innocent...so my mother won't be happy when people in her social circle somehow learn that her daughter was being abused and was almost killed by her husband or that she's now in the process of getting a divorce something which is frowned upon in her circle and she certainly won't be happy when they learn that her son is not only a biker but is the VP of an MC and her prized possession, her perfect golden goose Brandy is nothing but a homewrecking w***e with morals as loose as she is, flashing herself on OnlyFans for some loose change"
"You're evil, nephew"
Rage says with a chuckle and I smile.
"I'm not evil Rage, I'm just vengeful, that's all"
And I will avenge my baby sister, one toxic narcissist at a time.
