don’t really care. I’m a rich woman. I can live in any country that doesn’t allow extradition. Besides, I need to show Drex he can’t fuck with me.”
“How has he been fucking with you?” Chris was confused.
“Do you know how annoying it is to have to hear constantly about a woman that he’s never even dated? All he talks about is Chris this and Chris that.”
Drex had been talking about her? Warmth spread through her and joy filled her heart. Maybe there was hope for them. She stopped her daydreaming and looked at Kelly again. “Look, I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Drex is only a family friend.”
Kelly’s face scrunched in distaste. “Right. I heard you in his room during the Seduction Party.”
Insane. The woman was clearly insane. Chris tried to think of a way to get close enough to remove the gun from Kelly. She took a step closer, but Kelly lifted her arm higher.
“I wouldn’t try any heroics if I were you. I am a great shot. I hired others to get you out of the way, but it seems if you want something done right you have to do it yourself.” The blonde smirked.
“What do you mean you hired others?” Wasn’t she getting threatened because of the Seduction Party story?
“I saw you taken to Drex’s room the night of the party. Then I saw him join you there. I heard you screaming while he fucked you.” Kelly spat. “It should’ve been me in there with him. But he chose you instead. So I arranged for your car to be vandalized and your face to get bashed in. You were supposed to die when your car got run off the road, but I didn’t expect Drex to be with you. When I sent people here yesterday to kill you, I didn’t expect to find the place empty, so I had them destroy your stuff. It wasn’t killing you, but I got some satisfaction knowing you would get the picture.”
Good god. All this time she thought someone wanted her to quit the Seduction Party article when in reality nothing was further from the truth. Kelly Windsor just wanted her out of her way. She wanted Drex.
Chapter Eleven
Drex parked outside of Chris’s home. His security detail sat outside.
“Where’s Chris?” He asked no one in particular.
“She’s inside with another woman. She gave us the OK so we’ve been out here keeping an eye on the area.”
A woman? A cold sensation sat at the pit of his stomach. Drex walked up to the door and opened it without knocking. His ex-girlfriend, Kelly Windsor, turned to him.
Chris immediately launched herself onto the other woman. Chris smacked Kelly’s hand, a gun dropped to the floor, and then she punched Kelly in the face. Kelly screamed and covered her face with both hands. Drex ran up behind her and grabbed her in a bear hug, pinning her arms down.
The security team rushed inside and took Kelly from his arms. Kelly cursed and screamed. “This isn’t the end! Not by a long shot!” The men handcuffed her and took her to one of the security vans.
Drex grabbed Chris and hugged her while one of his men called the cops. Moments later Cole and a group of police officers showed up.
He cupped her face and looked into her eyes. “Are you all right? She didn’t hurt you?”
Her smile made everything perfect.
“No, I’m fine. Thank you for getting here so fast. She was angry you dumped her. She said she was supposed to spend the night with you at the Seduction Party.” She frowned. “She saw me taken to your room and then heard us. She didn’t want you with me.” She looked at him, questions in her eyes.
“We had broken up weeks before. She was never going to be with me that night.”
“I believe you.” Chris smiled and threw her arms around his neck.
Drex pulled away from her. “I don’t know what you were thinking leaving without me. You should’ve waited for me.”
“I’m sorry.” She hugged him again tighter.
His anger abated while he held her.
Cole stood to the side, giving them a chance to speak before he intervened. Drex
