Crash and Burn

Chapter 7

Alexander

I shoot my icy stare at her. “This is the last fucking time I’m going to say this, Jess, and then I’m walking away. I refuse to allow you to ruin Diem’s event with your bullshit. You are not getting this painting.”

Her lip curls and she folds her arms. “You know as well as I do, Alexander, I get what I want.”

“Not when it comes to me and my family—not anymore.”

She releases an amused laugh. “So you think. Have you forgotten that I will go to any lengths to get what I want? I’ve already set my plan into motion to help my father control of your company, and it starts with reuniting your wife with her ex-fiancé.”

My brows knit in confusion, and I wish my facial expression didn’t just give away the fact that I had no fucking clue Margo had an ex-fiancé. But judging by the huge shit-eatin’ grin on Jess’ face, she knows she’s just shocked me. My investigative team failed to mention that little tidbit of information when they gave me the report on Margo Buchanan before she stepped foot into my office, and Margo never mentioned one goddamn word about it either.

I despise being the last to know anthing and being made out to look like a fool.

Jess makes a show of peering over my shoulder. “Looks to me they’re getting reacquainted as we speak.”

I whip my head around just in time to meet the wide-eyed stare of my wife in my direction as she stands in front of a blond man who has his back to me. My spine stiffens, and I storm out of the room before I fucking explode. Now is not the fucking time or place for dirty laundry to be aired. Diem is already pissed at me enough, and as much as it fucking kills me to walk away from all this bullshit without saying a word, I do. I refuse to be the asshole who ruins this for Diem, although Jess is doing her damnedest to make sure I do exactly that.

Everything feels like it’s crashing down on me at once.

Jess is trying to take away my company. For the first time in years, my baby sister and I cannot seem to carry on a civil conversation, and to top it all off, the woman I’m in love with neglected to tell me she may possibly still have feelings for another man. What if she still loves him? Now that she’s seen him, will she want him back?

Oh, my God. I don’t even know what I’ll fucking do if that happens.

The air around me suddenly feels so thin, so I loosen the tie constricting the air to my lungs.

I rush through the hallway in the back of the building, needing to escape in order to clear my head to think rationally about the situation. I’m freaking out, and this is totally unlike me. What the fuck is happening?

I cut around the corner and find myself in a small office, only I’m not alone as I’d hoped.
