Cian
I’m working late too. Have some business to sort out at the compound. See you at home later.
I sign off with a kissy face emoji. She hearts my reply. My heartbeat thumps faster as warmth spreads through my chest. I suppress the smile on my lips as I look back at my men.
“Wolfe, continue with what you were talking about,” I say, just as my phone pings again.
Unknown
This is Devlin. Your wife’s running away with me tonight. She’s had enough of your shit. Don’t try to stop us.
My heart stops. Rage and shock crash through me like a thunder storm. I stand up so fast my chair topples over and crashes to the floor.
What the fuck? This can’t be real. I blink, but the message remains.
Ravenna just sent me a text saying she’ll see me later. Nothing in her tone sounded off. She sent me exes and ohs. We’ve been good together lately.
My brain rapidly tries to make sense of what’s happening.
Getting this text from Devlin is completely out of the blue. Ravenna’s not running away with him. She’s mine. I’m sure he’s a lying snake.
He’ll find out soon enough who he’s fucking with, and regret it. I want that piece of shit as far away from my wife as possible.
Marching out of the room, I bring up Ravenna’s number and press the call button. It rings.
“Come on, pick up,” I mutter.
It rings again, and again.
I desperately need to hear her voice. She might be in danger. What if she refuses to go with him? Will he take her by force?
I’m not waiting around to find out.
With a curse, I sprint from the building to the garage that houses the majority of my vehicles. This time, as I go to rescue her, I choose the Ducati. Straddling the black beast, I bring the engine to life and peel out of the garage.
I try her number a couple more times, but she doesn’t answer.
Then I call Kody. He doesn’t answer either.
I try Finn. Same thing.
What the fuck is going on? Where is everybody?
I speed up, running a red light as horns blare and drivers curse. But they don’t matter.
I hope to fuck I’m not too late.
CHAPTER 52
Ravenna
“What’s going on, Devlin? My boss said you needed me for a project of some kind?” I enter his office. Since I last worked here, he’s also been promoted and now has his own space. It’s quite the upgrade from the main office with all its cubicles.
“Yes. Please come in. Close the door behind you.”
I quickly peek back at the hallway. It’s after hours and the place is pretty much empty. Even my boss, who usually stays late, grabbed her coat and left a few minutes ago.
Closing the door, I approach Devlin’s desk. “Tell me about this project.”
