My temper was terrible, and I knew it, though, so I had to calm myself down before I nodded.

“Give me a second.” I headed to the bathroom, leaning against it with both fists as I stared at the floor.

I’ll kill him. I’ll end AJ West if he’s hurt her.

Look around, ground yourself.

Why is she still working for him?

You can’t control other people’s choices and decisions.

Feeling better, I prepared myself for what she was about to say, putting her well-being at the forefront of my mind.

If I lost it, what good would I be to her?

I tugged open the door, her wide eyes darting to me when I strode back in.

“Okay, tell me.” I breathed, sitting at her feet at the end of the bed.

Elizabeth gave me a suspicious look, then leaned forward, wetting her lips.

“Promise? Because I could tell Tye or—”

What the actual fuck?

“I promise.”

Elizabeth nodded and exhaled slowly before she spoke.

I crossed my arms, and he dropped the smile, running a hand through his hair.

“Okay…did you walk in on him or…”

Lifting my eyes to his, I shrugged. “Not exactly.”

Reign studied me, his eyes narrowing. “Okay, what happened?”

I told him how Mr West had degraded Larissa, and I watched his reaction closely.

His eyes flickered with annoyance, his hand stroking his jaw as he listened.

“I’m so sorry he did that to you, Elizabeth.” Reign scooped my hands into his, shaking his head.
