You were right. I’ve checked his travel plans, and he is currently in New York. I’m waiting to get hold of the security cameras opposite Chloe’s building. When you have more information, send it my way. The more I have to go on, the more I can help. Do you want me to reach out to Greyson Huntington?

Cain,
Thanks for getting back to me straight away. I’ll speak to Greyson myself when we have more information. I’m taking care of this now. I want a guy on her at all times. I’ll speak to her about it tonight.
Keep me updated.

Chloe starts to move on her bed, finally waking up from a lengthy nap. I put my laptop down on the floor. She deserves my full attention. She’s the first woman I’ve been willing to drop everything for.
“Hey,” she whispers, putting her arm over her eyes. “I didn’t think I’d sleep.”
“You needed it,” I say, sitting next to her on her bed.
“I don’t remember you having your laptop,” she raises her eyebrows at me.
“I got an intern to drop it off.”
“I thought…”
“They don’t know it was your apartment. I spoke to your doorman.”
“Nice to see he can be bought.” She looks pissed.
I'd have thought it was cute if I wasn’t so worried about her.
“Hardly. I’ve put him on a high alert. Nobody is getting past him to get to your apartment. I’m hiring you guys.”
“You not up to the job of satisfying me?” I see she’s trying to joke when I know she’s scared.
“Have you got any court appearances in the next few weeks?” I ask her as I sit with my back against the pillows next to the space in her bed.
“Nothing on the books.” She sits up and rests her head on my shoulder. “You really this worried?”
“Yeah, I am,” I say, kissing the top of her head.
“What haven’t you and Greyson told me?”
I groan, not wanting to have this conversation with her. “He’s in New York.”
I feel her body tense against me, and I hate that I’m the reason she feels like this. “We need to go to the club.”
She guts me with those words! Like a punch in the stomach.
She reaches for her phone on the nightstand.
