Chapter 15

“What’s up, bitch?” I answer Caidance’s call on speakerphone as I clean the bathroom.

“Leo showed up today,” she says. I drop the sponge as my blood runs cold.

“Is he still there?” I almost whimper, my throat suddenly tight.

“No. Briana sent him packing, but he wasn’t happy. He was screaming for you to come out and talk to him. He also made a couple of threats.”

Gripping the countertop, I force air in and out of my lungs as my head spins.

“What did he say, Caidance?”

“Do you really want to know?” Her voice is unsure, which isn’t like her.

What the fuck did he say to get her all worked up like this?

“Yes. I need to know.”

“He said if you don’t return his calls, your entire family is going to find out what you’re into.”

I gasp. Would he really do that? Out me to my family and force me to have conversations I don’t think I’d ever be ready to have? Well, he did beat the shit out of me. I guess anything is possible at this point.

“You can just tell your parents he’s lying,” she says, but I know he isn’t going to just tell them.

“He has videos,” I state as tears prickle at my eyes.

“You don’t think he would share them, do you?”

I almost want to laugh. “What else did he say?” I ask, not answering her question because we both know he would.

“He was calling you a bunch of different names, saying he was going to destroy you. Oh, he also said something about how he was going to make you pay for getting him kicked out of Afterglow.”

“Fuck,” I mutter under my breath.

What the hell do I do? Would calling him actually make him stop? I fucking doubt it.

“I need to call Dax,” I tell her, and we say quick goodbyes and hang up.

“Hey, beautiful. What’s up?” Dax answers. Hearing his voice makes me let go of the wall I was holding up and immediately break down. “Princess?”

“Leo showed up at Caidance’s. I’m scared, Dax.” I tell him honestly.

“Shit. I’m so sorry that happened, baby. I’ll try to move my schedule around so I can come home early tonight. Does he still think you’re staying at Caidance’s?”

“I’m not sure. But he was threatening to tell my family about the kinky shit I’m into if I don’t call him. He has videos,” I admit.

“For fuck’s sake.” He growls, and I know his anger is for Leo, not me. “You might have to tell them first.”

I hate the idea of that. “I don’t want to,” I whine, crying harder.

I trusted Leo when we were together, which is why I agreed to the videos. I never in a million years thought this would happen.

“You can charge him if he shares them,” he informs me, but I still don’t want to go to the cops.

“I’ll think about it.” Then I add, “I’ll see you later,” before I end the call, put my phone on silent, and go back to cleaning.

I need to focus on anything that isn’t the asshole who wants to break me.
