Chapter Twenty-Two

Rupert

I’d thought since I’d gone to her flat and apologised, things between us would go back to normal, but that day when I’d brought her a new phone, she’d told me I had to leave because she needed to be somewhere else. I knew something felt off, but I didn’t question it. I felt like maybe I was pushing it too hard. She obviously wasn’t ready for a relationship, especially since she was still booked up with clients in the club. She obviously knew my stance on her working at the club and her being with me. The two would not intermingle whatsoever.

We had a great time together, we got on well, but she was pulling back, and I couldn’t fucking figure out what that was about. Sure, things were new and dicey—she wasn’t one to trust easily—but the attraction between us was undeniable. I knew I was going to see her on the weekend because she had a client to escort, and as much as I hated seeing her with other men, I couldn’t stop her from working. My partnership with Matthews would be in jeopardy, so I had to find a way to get her to quit on her own.

Deep down, I hoped Katharina would hurry up and give the contract to Veronica, but these things took time. Katharina didn’t make decisions in a rush, so I had to sit tight and be patient, no matter how hard this was for me. I had tried to schedule an appointment with Spencer all week, too, but he’d been busy, so I hoped to see him on the weekend. We needed to discuss the upcoming summer holidays. Spencer had mentioned that he wanted me to go with him and Maja to Sicily as he was taking a whole six weeks off. I didn’t think this was a bad idea, although I was reluctant to leave Veronica. Something wasn’t quite right, yet I couldn’t put my finger on it. Maybe she was just panicking about having to replace all her cards. That was a headache in itself to deal with.

Matthews was out of the office most of that day, so that gave me an opportunity to mess around with Veronica’s schedule. I personally called every fucking client she had and made sure that she only escorted the ones who weren’t expecting to fuck her at the end of the evening. It was a tedious task, and I had to remind myself a few times that maybe I was stepping over the line with her. Then, I reminded myself that she was fucking mine. I would do anything to ensure that she would stay mine, even if that meant calling half of Britian to ensure that I was the only man fucking her.

This need of always being in control burned through me. It was one of my flaws that I’d been trying hard to break, but so far, I’d failed. I needed to go to therapy, but I was reluctant, still pushing through my shadow self.
