“I need to tell you?—”
“I said,” I slammed my hand against the table. “Get out of my house!”
“Adelaide is with Starlight’s board members at the house right now.”
Light drained from my face. “What?”
“There’s no time for questions, you have to go to her before it’s too late.”
“Dammit, I should have known when she spoke with Harry today.” Umaima called Adelaide’s number.
Quiet ringing echoed from upstairs.
Shit.
All up in my father’s face, I gritted. “This better not be some fucking trap.”
His face told me it wasn’t.
Fuck.
My legs led me, running out of the apartment to my car. Busy New York traffic plundered around me in the sounds of horns and curses, but nothing mattered.
Nothing but getting to Adelaide.
Rowlen picked up on the second ring.
“Why the fuck did you let her do this?”
He muttered a curse under his breath. “How do you knoweverything?”
I wish I fucking did.
“She’salone.”
“She’s a grown woman who can take care of herself.”
“Fuck you, Rowlen.”
“Christian, chill the fuck out. She’s fine because I have eight people with me as backup and she knows when to call me in.”
“These men are animals. They’ll do anything to her.”
My vision was blurring, my mind contracting with the pain of losing her.
FIFTY
ADELAIDE
Deep and ruthless,the voice boomed through the room.
He’s here.
Christian bore a look of destruction as broke the door down. Gone were the bright hazels, in its stead was a cold, assaulting earthquake.
He stalked towards Harry.
“Christian,” I whispered with a tearless sob.
