Chapter Twenty-Two

BRIDGE

I left her a note and went for a walk to the offices, my offices, to be exact. It was a Saturday, and most people wouldn’t be in, but that didn’t mean business just stopped running. I hoped I’d see assistants and interns. None of the bigwigs would be in on a weekend when they could be golfing, right?

I scanned my ID across the metal and walked past security to get into one of the twelve elevators.

Tennyson Financial occupied the top fifteen floors. And my shining office was on the top. My hands shook as the elevator climbed. I tried to focus on Izzy’s smile, on the little sounds she made when she found release, images of her lips parting, her eyes unfocused and aroused.

She was magnificent.

She was also his.

I’d touched what was his.

I’d pleasured what wasn’t mine.

And I wondered if that was exactly what my father wanted, for me to play right into his hands, to want her so badly that I’d be willing to do anything, just like I was with my mom.

The thought scared me.

What scared me more was the fact that I didn’t know if my brother was alive or dead, and that my father had thousands of reasons and millions of dollars why Julian’s death would be welcome.

Was I just his replacement?

Something wasn’t adding up. Then again, nothing ever added up when it came to my father, he was an evil enigma who wanted one thing. World domination. I used to laugh when people said that, but now it just made me uncomfortable with how true it was.

A man like him should never hold the keys to the kingdom.

And he didn’t just have the keys. He had the crown, the heirs, the fucking iron throne.

The elevator doors parted. Both of my secretaries, Kelsey and Amy, gasped as I walked in. They were wearing too much perfume and were in all white. They looked like they belonged on a Virgin Atlantic flight with their perfect hair and bright-red lipstick.

“I’ll just be a minute,” I said, casually walking by the one on the right. She stepped forward and gave me a seductive smile that had my stomach rolling.

“Julian.” She said my name like she knew me intimately, and I got even sicker. “I think we should talk.” She followed that with a wink.

“I’m not in the mood to talk,” I said through clenched teeth, ignoring her completely as I walked into my office and shut the door behind me.

I barely had time to register the massiveness of the room or the view of the financial district before a knock sounded and the annoying woman let herself in and shut the door behind her.

She clapped her hand over my mouth and slammed her hand against the door. “Yes, right there. I missed you so much, baby, so much.”

My eyes widened as I shoved away from her. “What the fuck!”

“Shh!” she snapped and then grabbed me by the arm and dragged me around the corner to the couch. “She needs to think we’re having sex.
