The BIllionaire’s Mistress

Chapter One

Allie

Arrested.

Jal was being arrested.

The words repeated in my head, but my brain refused to accept them.

This whole thing felt like a set-up for some awful reality TV show, and some hot celebrity was going to come rushing out from around the corner any moment to tell us that we’d just been punked.

But the officers were slowly and politely walking Jal toward the front door. Soon, they'd be outside, down the steps to the police car that was surely waiting.

I couldn't let that happen.

“Jal, what do you want me to do?” My voice sounded louder than I thought it should, but it had the desired effect of stopping everyone.

Jal jerked his chin toward the kitchen. “Get my phone. It’s on the counter. Call my lawyer, Adam Abbott. Tell him what happened.”

“Where…where will you be?”

I looked at the detective behind Jal. He scowled but answered, “The thirty-ninth.”

Then they were all gone, leaving me staring at the closed door.

Gone.

He was gone.

He’d been arrested.

Hell, it wasn’t like I’d never known anybody who’d been arrested. But Jal Lindstrom? He came from the kind of family who could pay to make arrest warrants go away. Not that I thought Jal would ever do that, but I was shocked this had gone through without him even getting a head's up. I'd spent enough time in the Hedges' house to know how things like this usually worked.

They didn't get arrested for things like this without a hell of a fight from some high-priced lawyer.

Lawyer. Right. Jal wanted me to call his lawyer.

I moved into the kitchen, my limbs feeling stiff and abnormal. Jal's phone was lying on the counter, and I picked it up, sliding my thumb across the screen until it came to life, and I was able to get into the contacts. Fortunately, he didn't use a passcode, or I would've been in trouble. It dimly occurred to me that I should tell him to add one since this wasn't exactly safe, but that was neither here nor there. I scrolled through the contacts twice before remembering that the man's name would be at the top.

I was in shock, I was sure, but a part of me thought it was more than that. Something just didn’t feel right inside me. All sorts of things felt wrong outside me too.

Two rings buzzed in my ear and then a man’s voice boomed out. “Jal, son…where you been, you lousy fuck?”

I blinked. “Ah. Um…”

“Oh…” There was a soft chuckle. “I’m sorry. I expected…well, Jal.”

“The lousy fuck.”

The man laughed again. He was loud, but something about him eased the knot in my chest.

“Yes. Exactly. How can I help you, and why are you calling from Jal’s phone?”

“Because he told me to. He’s been arrested.”

For a second, there was absolutely no response. Then, the man on the other end of the line said quietly, “Would you please repeat that?”

I did, then told him every single thing that happened from the moment the cops knocked on the door. I even told him why I hadn't been in the room when Jal had let them in.
