“Not on purpose,” Kace defended.
“I don’t want to hear it,” I held up my hand.
“She wants nothing to do with him,” Kace pushed on, just as my phone signaled an incoming text.
Expecting a message from my detective friend, I looked down at my phone to see a text from Rex. I pulled it open to see a picture of a naked woman with the same honey-colored hair that had run through my fingertips on more than one occasion, mounted on him. My chest restricted, my breathing became shortened, and my legs started to go numb. I read the text that came along with the message.
Rex Titan: Just like I remembered. Goldie has by far the sweetest pussy I’ve ever had the chance to fuck. Thank you for fucking up, because not only do I have the girl, but I will also have Lot 17. The best man always wins.
Swallowing hard, I turned the phone to Kace and held it up so he could see it.
“You can’t tell me she wants nothing to do with Rex when this is proof that she went back to him. Tell me that isn’t her.”
Kace looked at the picture as he started to chew on his bottom lip. He was silent. He knew I was right; there was no mistaking that was Goldie in the picture.
“That’s what I thought,” I said while closing out on the text message, just as my phone rang.
Detective Brown.
Taking a deep breath and trying to will my thundering heart to slow down, I answered.
“Jett Colby.”
“Mr. Colby, I received your email. I was able to briefly go over it, but we have enough material to go in tonight. I know you have some restrictions about some of the employees; do those still stand?”
He was asking if I still wanted to give Goldie immunity. At the moment, I didn’t care what happened to her, not after the blatant betrayal I was just privy to.
“No, do what you need to do. Will you call me after you get everything settled tonight?”
“Will do, Mr. Colby. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will be sure to honor you for keeping this city clean.”
Not wanting to keep up with the pleasantries, I thanked him and got off the phone.
“What was that about?” Kace asked.
“Taking care of things. Lot 17 will be mine tomorrow morning. Rex and Leo will be in jail, and their club will be shut down.”
“What about Lo?”
Staring at my computer, trying to act like I wasn’t affected by his question, I just shrugged my shoulders.
“Don’t know. Most likely she will be taken to jail as well for working at the club.”
“You can’t let that happen,” Kace said, outraged.
“I can,” I responded quietly, while turning away from him in my chair, dismissing Kace from my room.
“She loves you, Jett.”
“If she loved me, then she would never have taken the control out of my hands. She left me helpless and turned to Rex, something I will never forgive her for.”
Chapter Seventeen
“I Don’t Mind”
GOLDIE
I was quivering from my fucking hair follicles to my lady folds to my damn toenails. I liked to believe I was some strong, confident woman with the ability to go all secret agent on someone’s ass, but when it came down to it, I was more nervous than a teenage boy sitting next to a porn star.
