CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Winston

Nate continues to drone on, but I’m not listening. When Ash’s call came through, I figured I’d see her soon enough. The text, though, sends a wave of panic washing over me.

“I have to go,” I blurt out, hanging up on Nate. “Step on it, Daniel.”

Daniel must sense my urgency because he floors it, weaving in and out of traffic. I try to call Ash back, but she doesn’t answer.

Morelli?

If that motherfucker touches one hair on her head, I will burn this city to the ground, starting with every goddamn rat. I’m rage-filled by the time we reach her apartment building, further incensed by the rather large crowd of reporters exiting vans and beginning to crowd around the door.

We’ve been discreet.

No one, but a handful of people, knows she’s even here which means someone tipped them off.

I don’t have time to worry about that, though. I need to find out what the hell is going on with Ash. As soon as Daniel pulls up to the curb, I fly out of the vehicle, rippling with fury. As though they’re the Red Sea, they part to allow me through. Whatever pissed-off vibes I’m giving off must be enough warning.

Once inside, I take the elevator to the twelfth floor. I hear voices. Male and female. Without considering further consequence, I charge at the asshole looming over Ash. He lets out a startled cry when he hears me coming, whipping around in time to adopt a shocked expression only a second before my fist impacts his face. He crumples to the ground, moaning in pain. I’m no longer concerned about this pussy because Ash is pressed against the wall, her face buried in her knees, hands pressed to her ears. She bellows, scrambling away from me, frantic, teary eyes landing on me. If the guy wasn’t crying like a bitch, I’d happily knock his ass out right now for doing this to her.

“Hey, baby,” I croon. “It’s me. It’s just me. I’m here. That asshole is leaving.”

It takes her a second to understand that I’m really here and no one is going to hurt her. She flings herself into my arms, a sad fucking sob escaping her.

“He f-followed me and pushed me d-down. I hit m-my head.” She hiccups, her entire body trembling. “When I woke up, m-my dress…and he was t-taking p-pictures…”

“Man, it wasn’t like that,” the motherfucker says from behind me.

I release Ash and pounce on him, gripping his now bruised face in my punishing hold. “You touched my fucking girlfriend?”

The man whimpers. “I…n-no…I…”

“Give me your phone,” I growl. “Now.”

He hands it to me. I find several pictures of her unconscious with her pink panties showing and a few voice recordings. After I delete all evidence of his encounter with her, I pocket the phone. Mine now.

“Listen here, asshole,” I snarl, shoving him against the wall. “You’ll walk the fuck out of here. And when my attorney calls you, you better be ready to sing like a fucking canary about how you found out she was going to be here and who the hell tipped you off.
