Raine
âHey, Iâm done for the night,â I say to Butch as we finish off our fourth team.
He hands me half of the money we won. âYeah, no real competition here anyway. Itâs getting boring.â
âDo you see Sophie?â I stand on a chair and look around. âI need to talk to her.â
Butch does a quick sweep of the party. âI donât see her. Do you want me to help you look?â
âNo, Iâm good. Iâm sure you can find something else to occupy your time.â I nod toward Ava whoâs had her eyes glued to Butch all night.
âYeah, that seems like as good a place as any to start,â he says, patting my arm. âCall me if you need me.â
I walk around for a bit until I see Sebâs head above a line of palm plants separating the pool area from a walkway. Since heâs rarely without Sophie, I head over there, but when I get closer, I see heâs talking to a man.
âSeb, youâre not thinking clearly,â the man says. âIf Sophie loves you, she wonât mind signing a prenupââ
âWhat do you mean if she loves me?â Seb snarls. âMan, fuck you. Iâm not asking her to sign a prenup or anything else. Youâve already talked to me about this once. I told you to leave it alone.â
âIâm doing my jobââ
âYour job is to get me contracts, Jeff. Thatâs it.â
âMy job is to put as much money in my athletesâ pockets as possible,â Jeff says, lowering his voice. I tiptoe to the other side of the palms as he continues, âand then to make sure the money stays there.â
Seb shoves the palm next to me. It hits me in the face. I drop to my hands and knees as he looks over to see what he hit. I curl up in a ball and press my back up against the planter.
âYou want to put more money in my pocket?â Seb says in a deep and menacing tone. âHow about giving me back some of that five percent you made on my contract? Two-hundred million. Whatâs five percent of that? Ten million or so you put in your pocket?â
âSeb.â Jeffâs voice is starting to shake. âIâm just saying, this whole thing has moved so fast. If you want to get married this soon at least take some precautions. Protect yourself in case anything changes.â
Seb pushes the plant again. A palm frond hits me on the head. âIf you bring this up one more time, the only thing thatâs going to change is my agent. Do you understand me? End of discussion.â
âSeb!â I glance up to see Sebâs head moving away from Jeff. âLet me talk to Sophie about it. She wonât mind.â
Seb spins back around and runs at Jeff. I peek through the plants in time to see Seb throw him against a wall. âIf you talk to Sophie about this or anything else, all of your clients will need a new agent because I will flat out kill you. Donât talk to her.
