CHAPTER ELEVEN

A week had passed since Emily had dropped Amanda off at the hospital, and she still hadn’t heard a thing. She couldn’t call in case it spurred on another outburst from her murderous ex-husband, but she’d followed the kids to school one day and seen they were unharmed.

Amanda was another story. She had no idea what had become of her friend, but she was frustrated. What could she do? Amanda had chosen this path. She didn’t want to be free of Brian Ross. She was consumed by his ego and her own need for some kind of ‘perfect’ picket fence life.

Emily sighed and stared at the building in front of her. She was outside Chase’s block of apartments again. Of all the people she needed to talk to about Brian, he was the most important.

He needed to know what kind of maniac he’d dealt with, before Brian manipulated him into something horrible as well.

The two minute elevator ride took an eternity and anxiety bounced around in her mind on a trampoline, knocking into walls and sending her thoughts into total disarray.

It was the right thing to do. Seeing him again was a bonus. This wasn’t about proving herself to him, was it?

She tried a smile for the attendant and he beamed back at her. “Have a nice day, Miss.”

“Yeah, you too,” she replied, but the words stuck in her throat.

One hallways stood between her and Chase, the man she’d lost because of… well, because of everything.

She walked down the hall, her steps muffled by the maroon carpet. The number on his door, 16, was brass and shone to perfection. Emily gasped for breath a few times, then forced a laugh. What was wrong with her?

She’d never been this weak before.

Emily knocked and cleared her throat.

Chase opened up and stared at her. “Go away, please.”

“Wait a second,” she said, placing a palm on the door to stop him from closing it in her face. Man she hated that.

“I have nothing to say to you, Emily. I made that clear the last time we spoke.”

“Chase, I’m not here to make excuses or talk to you about what happened in the past. Hell, I’m not even here to apologize, but I need to talk to you anyway. It’s with regards to your business.”

Chase snorted. “My business is literally none of yours.”

She had to get him to listen. Maybe she could even show him the pictures of Janet and Brian to prove it. The man was up to no good.

Why were they associates anyway? It was a weird relationship for a guy who bought and sold businesses for a living. Brian was a congressman for god’s sakes.

“Goodbye, Emily.” He shut the door on her foot.

“Chase, please.” She hated pleading with people. It was such a debasing thing to do.

“Oh come on Chasey, hear her out.” Janet’s freckled mug appeared in the doorway and the crack widened.

Emily didn’t want to ask. It wasn’t her business after all, but the anxiety which had been trampling about evaporated into thin air.
