“I have no patience. Not today?—”
“Today?”
“I’m going to kill him and then her.” Reaching for my Glock, I shove the chair back as I stand. “Or the other way around.”
She’s not cheating on me.Not again.I won’t allow it.
I won’t give her the opportunity.
I end the call with my guy and press Ashlyn’s number…
She doesn’t answer.
My coat hits my shoulders the way a decision does—hard, irreversible. I race through the manor, boots slapping the marble of the entryway. When I stuff my hands into my pockets, a hitch trips my steps. A paper cut slices through my fingers from the heavy cardstock invitation folded inside.Fuck!
My engagement party is tonight…
I mean, it’s agoodthing. The night I reveal Dean Twinston’s secrets. But I have to make sure Ashlyn doesn’t show up and get the wrong idea. If sheobeysme, I can fix all of it.
But the hellkitten doing what she’s told? That’s the biggest gamble I’m taking.
From the lockbox on the wall near the doors, I find Henry’s key to his latest Maserati and send him a text.
Me

Henry

Henry
I’ll tell your fiance about your girlfriend.
Me
She already knows fucker. I’ll tell your NON girlfriend you’re a virgin that jerks off on that one picture of her. You know the one.
By the time I’m in the driver’s seat and punching the start button, the phone screen has dimmed. Then, one last message.
Henry
Concede.
