I had to calm down. Everything inside me churned. All of this was too much. I had no one that was mine.
Xander and Theo weren’t mine. They could never be mine. Mama and the girls were an ocean away. What I wouldn’t give to have someone to hold me, hug me, give me some warmth, some comfort.
The best option at this point was a shower.
I took the back staircase, then walked along the landing leading to my section of the house. Just as I turned the corner to my suite of rooms, I crashed into Robert Lavinos, Andraius’s head of security.
He steadied me. “I’m to direct you to work in your library.”
I really hated this guy. Outside of talking like a robot, he’d stood idly by and found it amusing every time Andraius treated me like shit in public. One of the betrayers, as I liked to call them.
“For Christ’s sake, get out of my way. I want a shower after my workout.”
“The boss wants you to go downstairs.”
“Andraius is here? I thought he had a meeting of importance or something?” I glared at Robert as he blocked my way when I tried to move around him.
“He decided to come home to take care of some business.”
“In the bedroom?” I frowned.
If he was covering for his boss, this attempt landed him in the piss-poor-job column. When we first married, Andraius had regularly snooped in my room for things. Luckily, I had all my little nooks and holes to hide something inside.
He hadn’t gone back to doing that shit again, had he?
I refused to put up with any more disrespect. That nineteen-year-old girl had long ago died, and now the twenty-three-year-old bitch wife he’d created was the only thing left.
“Get out of my way.” I pushed his shoulder, and he stepped in front of me, shoving me back.
Okay, he’d never laid a hand on me before. This was new.
“I’m under strict orders to keep you in your library. So let’s go.” He puffed out his chest as if his size intimidated me.
Umm. Xander was way bigger than him, and he’d taught me to take someone his size down.
Irritation coursed through me, and a throbbing pulsed in my head.
“If you don’t move, I will make you,” he said.
All of a sudden, my heartbeat accelerated, and my stomach churned.
Had Andraius learned what Nyx and I had been doing over the last few months?
Robert smirked and shook his head, moving toward me. “You’re no match for me. Don’t make me carry you downstairs.”
“I’m a lot stronger than you believe.” I lunged, pivoted in the opposite direction to what he expected, and slid past him, running toward my bedroom.
“You bitch. Why don’t you ever listen? This is why the boss has to discipline you,” he shouted as he chased after me, his hard footsteps echoing on the polished wood in the hallway.
When I reached the doorway of Andraius’s bedroom, I heard the sounds.
Bodies slapping against one another, sex, moans, pleasure.
My hands shook. That bastard thought I wouldn’t lose my shit knowing he’d brought one of his women into my house to fuck.
Robert reached me and said with a smirk, “Are you satisfied now?”
“I will be when I punch him in the fucking face.”
