Chapter 11
Mitch
The moment Deanâs number popped up on my screen, I knew something wasnât right. Heâd taken his bride and left the reception a little over an hour ago. It didnât take a rocket scientist to know what they were doing. So for him to be calling me somethingâs happened.
âBoss,â I mutter in greeting while scanning the room as I start toward the exit.
âPlease help us. Dean . . . heâs been hurt aâand needs medical assistance.â Bridgetâs sobs come through the other end of line. Soon as she says they need help Iâm already bolting for the elevator.
âIâm on it,â I inform her and hang up the phone. I pull up the group chat I have with the rest of the security team we have in place letting them know somethingâs gone down. I also message Bridgetâs and Deanâs fathers letting them know Bridget called and Dean needs medical assistance.
Soon as the elevator stops on their floor, I dash down the hall and to their room. The door is already left open a crack and I push it fully open.
Anger flows through my veins at the sight in front of me.
My boss is lying on the floor unconscious, blood seeping from his wounds. From the looks of it heâs been stabbed.
At first glance it looks to be Bridget doing this to him, but Iâd seen the way she looked at him and she couldnât have done this to my boss.
Stalking across the room, I drop down to my knees on Deanâs other side and check him for a pulse. I find it there but itâs faint.
âI . . . tried to stop him. I dâdidnât mean fâfor this to happen,â Bridget cries.
âBridget, I need for you to calm down for now. Men are coming up here to help him. We gotta get him to the hospital and you need clothes,â I state firmly.
âI donât have anything besides my dress,â she says.
âWeâll get you some then,â I grumble.
The door to the room is pushed open and Deanâs men, along with his now father-in-lawâs, fill the room. Bridgetâs father, Tomás MacDermott, storms in with a furious expression on his face. For a man of his age, youâd think he looked older, but he stands tall and assumes control of any room heâs in. Deanâs father comes in right behind him. MacDermott takes one look at his daughterâs face and pulls her away from Dean to allow us to get him ready for the paramedics who should be here any minute now.
âWhat happened?â MacDermott demands.
âKean . . . he saw . . . he wâwatched DâDean and I. Pâpulled a gun out. Da . . . I tried to sâstop him. I did. I shot him but he stabbed him. Still, he . . . stabbed Dean,â Bridget stammers.
Kenyon kneels beside me. âYou believe her?â he murmurs the question for only me to hear.
I nod my head once, letting him know I do. Heâd question her since neither of us know her and our loyalty is to Dean.
