DORIAN

It was her.

She was the only thing holding me back from killing him. I wanted to put a bullet in his chest, but right now I needed to get her home. When she came out of the bathroom, her makeup was fixed, and she smiled as brightly as if I hadn’t just seen her break down in the closet. This was why I couldn’t tell something was wrong.

Taking off my jacket, I placed it over her shoulders and took her hand. “Don’t let go.”

She squeezed. “I promise.”

I led her back to the dining room. Mr. Sinclair and Hugh were laughing at God fucking knew what, and it pissed me off to no end.

Do it for her.

“Mr. Sinclair, thank you for dinner, but we have to leave.”

“Really? You’ve given up kissing my ass already?”

A maid brought over a box of Cuban cigars.

“Our son isn’t feeling well, please excuse us. Mrs. Sinclair, thank you for inviting us into your lovely home.”

“Of course, dear. Please visit again.”

Not a chance in hell.

“I do hope we meet again very soon.” Hugh’s gaze drifted to Luella.

You fucking little prick.

We turned toward the door. “Thank you for coming,” the butler said.

I didn’t reply. My driver was already waiting, the door held open for us.

She was gripping my hand for dear life. It was only when the door closed that she took several deep breaths. I pulled her close, laying my cheek against her head. She was trembling.

“I have a fear of spiders,” I confessed.

“What?”

“I’m terrified of them. It’s horrible, and clowns—God, do I hate clowns. I went to the fair once with Russell and fell. There, in front of me, were these giant feet, and when I looked up, all I saw was a giant red mouth and scary eyes. I screamed my head off. I even had them banned from Rhys-Gallagher National after someone had a singing birthday card delivered.”

She laughed, and I felt relief. I wanted her to feel safe and comfortable again.

I hummed as we drove back, and she was so tired, she fell asleep even though the drive was short.

“Are we here?” she asked softly, not opening her eyes. I helped her out and carried her inside.

“Mr. Rhys-Gallagher.” Russell scowled at the expression on my face, but I shook my head, not wanting to speak of it.

“You’re back already.” Goldie paused, startled at seeing Luella in my arms.

“I’m not going after Sinclair Group,” I told her, moving toward the stairs.

“What?”

I took Luella to the one place I knew would make her feel better. Alaric’s room. When I put her on the bed, she opened her eyes, saw her son, and brushed his hair out of his eyes.

“Luella, where did he want to meet you?”

“Why?”

“Just tell me.”

“Please don’t do anything stupid because of me, this is all my fault—”

“Don’t you dare...” I bit my lip. “Him hitting you then and now is not your fault. Don’t ever say that to me, or I will lose my mind.”

“You’ve always had to take care of people or watch them fall apart around you.
