“Oh no brother, Fuck you! That’s why you’re so defensive about her? You might actually like a girl. Not a fuck toy, a sub you can dominate, but a normal, everyday woman. I never thought I’d see the day.”
My anger hikes and I’m trying not to growl at him.
“You’re jealous.” He laughs and points in my face again.
Just then, the door opens and Sebastian comes in. “Who’s jealous?” I look up at him and he has the same appearance on hisface that I’d do.
Underlying bitterness and irritation. Christopher tilts his chair back and points to Sebastian.
“Alex, he’s jealous of you because you’ve made little Isabella prefer you to him.”
I can’t hold it in anymore. “Fuck you both. I asked you here about family business. But if you both continue to act like dicks, I’ll leave the club under Marcus’s care and you two can go fuck yourselves.”
Sebastian stops and glares at me. Christopher looks back at me and settles farther back in his chair. Noting the serious expression on my face now.
“Sorry, but it’s true.” He winks. “Can’t help a brother for having some fun.” He holds his hands up in surrender.
I look up at Sebastian and point to the other empty chair. I soften my tone, but not by much. “Sit please.”
He moves to take a seat and he and Christopher pass a quizzical look at each other.
“I’ve recently come across some information regarding the New York meeting and I’d like both of you to put your considerable talents to the test.”
They look at each other, and Christopher says, “Go on.”
“Robert Gallo only holds the diamond mine in trust. He’s lied to the board and to us.”
Christopher clamps his hand tight and looks at Sebastian. Sebastian is still glaring at me, but a small wave of confusion passes over his face as well.
Looking right at him, “As far as I can tell, Isabella is unaware of her father’s business dealings and has no clue as to what is going on. When I picked her up today, she had no idea that her father had even removed her from the house.”
“Removed?”Sebastian’s face is crimson as he yells at me.
“Yes. He asked me to bring her to my home before the meeting on Thursday. She is safe and sound Sebastian, no need to worry yourself.”
“Are you kidding me right now?” Sebastian yells in my face and then stands up and heads for the door.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing? Sit down. I’m not done.”
“Fuck you, Alex! She’s stuck in your house with you! Im’ going ot check on her.” He points at me, “You better not have made her cry again or so help me.”
Oh, I made her cry and scream all right.
“So help you what, Sebastian? Humm? You’ll kick my ass?”
“Yes.” He fully turns now and puffs out his chest, fists tight and turning white by his sides. I point to his empty chair.
“Sit. I’ll only ask you once and if you refuse, you’re out. I’ll handle this with Christopher.”
I pull out the file Carlos gave me earlier; I toss it across the desk to Christopher. Sebastian sits down as Christopher reaches for it. He begins to read, concentrating, his lips getting tighter as he reads.
My phone vibrates, and I pick it up. It’s a text from Carlos.
Carlos:All good down here. Busy, but so far nothing seems out of the ordinary. Charles and Daniel have Stacy booked for The Black room tonight. I guess the show will begin soon. Are you coming down?
If it occurred any other night, I’d be there now. But I’ve got shit to do.
Alex:“Soon. Still meeting with Christopher and Sebastian. Be there in an hour.” Little bubbles appear on the screen.
