“Is he dead?” Christian asked Wayne casually.
“No sir, but I would be more than happy to amend that mistake ”
Christian turned to me, head read my expression and he looked at Wayne.
“No, just drive away”
Kylee’s tense shoulders relaxed.
“Let me guess, you tried to steal his wallet ” Wayne said angrily, I did not know who he was talking to until Kylee’s sobs erupted in the car.
Wayne didn’t make any move to calm her, Christian didn’t either.
What was wrong with these men?!
I reached out my hand to her shoulder, she froze at first then she looked down at my hand, looked up at me and broke an appreciative smile before continuing crying.
I left her to cry her pain out, crying helped me stabilise my emotions all the time. It didn’t be take long before we drove to the castle. Immediately Wayne stopped the car, Kylee was the first person to pop the door. Wayne opened his own immediately after her and jumped out. I opened my door in time to hear Wayne say.
“Boss would like to speak with you, after you’ve changed into something more sensible”
I climbed down from the car and followed Kylee inside. She didn’t, show recognition to my presence at all until we reached her room. She locked the door and turned to me.
“Please, come…. Sit” she said and pointed to the bed.
He tone frightened me, she looked terrified.
“Okay”
I sat on the edge of the bed, I wouldn’t allow my self to feel comfortable at this very moment, my heart was beating fast because it was as if there was something crucial she wanted to say.
“He’s angry at me” she blurted out.
“Who is angry at you?”
“Christian”
I exhaled loudly through my mouth and shook my head.
“Kaylee, you almost gave me a heart attack. Look at me here thinking it’s someone dangerous. That you got into som deep trouble somewhere”
She gave me a look that I didn’t understand.
“You don’t understand, this kind of anger is new. He has never directed this kind at me before and I’ve seen him this angry only a few times” her hands were shaking.
“Jesus Christ, Kylee please calm down”
She ran towards me and placed a single finger on my lips.
“Shhhh, they’re outside”
I looked at the door and tried to hear something other than my loud heartbeat, there was nothing.
“Are you sure?” I asked her in a whisper.
“Yes, they’re trying to listen to what I’m telling you”
Her voice was shaky, her words were breaking.
“Christian never told Wayne that he wanted to speak with me alone. Wayne read the expression and knew what Christian wanted”
“What does he want?” I asked her, I was beginning to get truly scared.
“I don’t know, I don’t know Jenna ”
There was a knock on the door.
“Kaylee, you’ve got five minutes remaining to dress up. Ask Jenna to come out” it was Wayne’s voice.
“I’m not leaving you” I told Kylee.
“No no no please. It’s best if you stay out of this”
“Stay out of what. One moment I understand Christian and Wayne, the next moment y’all are killers in cold blood” I couldn’t keep my voice as a whisper.
The knock on the door sounded again.
“Jenna, let’s go upstairs ” it was Christian this time.
I wanted to yell at him and tell him to stop being so weird but Kylee ran towards me again held my mouth.
She had a changed into a red chiffon top.
“She’ll be out soon” She said to Christian and proceeded to take of her skirt, she wasn’t wearing a pantie underneath.
She started to wear a black trousers.
“I don’t think he’s angry because I left you in the hospital. What happened while I was gone, how did he find me?”
“I don’t know how he found you”
“Did anything else happen involving me, did Jeandre say anything”
“No. He only said that Christian should come find you”
She was done with wearing her clothes and then it struck me that what she might be asking for was something I knew.
“We had a flight about it” I confessed.
“Had a fight, about what?”
“Uh, I was angry that he was reluctant with coming to find you, it led to a fight and I kind of called of our engagement ”
Her eyes widened, in fear and realisation.
“Jesus Christ, Jenna what have you done?” The knock sounded on the door again, this time it was impatient.
Kylee went and opened the door. Christian looked at me, trying to read my expression.
I stood up from the bed and walked to the door, too.
I wanted to save Kylee, if she really thought she was in some kind of trouble. I was beginning to get angry at Christian again but I didn’t fully understand the situation to let my anger escalate.
Wayne was leaning on the wall with his legs crossed at his ankles.
“Let’s go” Christian told me.
I walked with him, without coming up with anything at all. We reached the bedroom and I walked in first while he held open the door for me
“Why did Wayne say that to Kylee, why did he call her a thief?” I asked him.
“She was posing as a stripper, wasn’t it obvious?
“Why did he have to say that then, it hurt her”
“She’s hurting herself. Do you know how many times I’ve taken her to see a therapist or psychologist? They all say the same thing, her stupid alter ego is choice, not an addiction. She’s a multi millionaire, but she loves to go out at night and act like broke stripper, when I call her out she says can’t stop it, it’s an addiction but it’s not. I am tired of trying protect her, who knows why those men were pulling her into their car, maybe she did try to steal their wallet ”
“So why did Wayne tell her that you would like to talk with her?”
His shoulders froze monetarily but he resumed his calm demeanor a split second later.
“It’s none of your business ” he said flatly.
I felt insulted, if he noticed it he didn’t say anything about it.
“I’m hungry, I’m going down to ask Merritt to make something for us”
“No, stay, I’ll go” I told him and before letting him change his mind about it, I slipped out of the room.
