CHAPTER TWELVE

FLYNN IGNORED THE knock on the door the first time. He’d already spoken to Henry at the office, dealt with his father and phoned his mother. Anyone else could go jump as far as he was concerned.

But, by the third knock, even Flynn had to admit that whoever it was didn’t seem to be going away.

He wrenched the door open and found he couldn’t even muster up any surprise at seeing his brother on his doorstep—or Helena standing just behind him.

‘We’ve come for Helena’s things.’ Zeke glanced at Helena, who seemed to shrink back further, then turned back to Flynn, his jaw set and eyes full of fury. ‘And while she’s packing, you and I are going to have a word.’

The anger that had never been more than a moment away, ever since Thea and Zeke had left, simmered up closer to the surface. ‘I suppose that’s logical. You run off with my fiancée on my wedding day, and you think now is the time to talk.’

Zeke stepped inside and from the corner of his eye Flynn saw Helena slip in behind him, heading for the staircase. He wanted to stare, to take her in one last time, but he wouldn’t let himself. He had to cut her out of his life completely. It was good that she’d come for her things.

‘Nothing about this situation is logical. Flynn—’ Zeke started, but Flynn couldn’t let him finish.

‘So what? You don’t like the mess you left behind so you’re here to whisk Helena away too? What’s wrong with you? Is one sister really not enough?’

He felt the punch before he saw it, the blossoming throb of pain radiating from his cheekbone as Zeke pulled his fist back. The surge of adrenalin had him wanting to return it, to break his brother’s face for coming here after everything that had happened, for acting so righteous. His hands balled up into weapons as he prepared to strike—

Until a small hand grabbed his arm and yanked it back.

‘Stop it. Both of you. Idiots!’ Helena’s cheeks had spots of red in them as she glared at them both. ‘Zeke, I thought you were coming here to support me?’

‘And I thought you were going to do the talking,’ Zeke countered.

Helena’s jaw tightened and Flynn couldn’t help but wonder what it was she still had to say. How could there be anything left?

‘Fine.’ She grabbed a bag from behind her and thrust it into Zeke’s hands. ‘In that case, you go and pack. We’ll be in here when you’re finished.’ She jerked her head towards the door of the library.

Inside, Helena seemed perfectly at home in a room he hadn’t even realised she knew existed. With decisive strides, she made her way to the desk and, grabbing two tumblers, poured them both a whisky. Turning, she handed one to Flynn and he could see the uncertainty in her eyes, even as she ran the show.

She thought he would reject her again, even though she’d sent Zeke upstairs to pack so she could leave him, once and for all.
