“What the fuck?” Sean roars. “Is she okay? Put her on,” Maximus holds out the phone and I take it.
“Hey, Daddy.” I instantly hear the change in his voice.
“Princess, what happened? Are you hurt?” he asks.
“I’m okay,” I instantly lie not wanting to panic him. Maximus looks at me and takes the phone back.
“She’s lying. He has taken a sharp knife to her throat. She also has a split lip, and head wound and can’t weigh bare on one foot,” Maximus growls through gritted teeth as Sean yells on the other end of the line about how he’s going to kill him.
“Tell Sean to get back home, I want everyone here before any retaliation is dished out,” Christian orders as he looks at Maximus. “Stay with her and I’ll be back. The Doctor will get here in ten minutes, I want you to tell him then exactly where you are injured and when he’s gone, I want to know what was said!” Christian leans over and kisses me on the forehead. “No one hurts you and lives to see another day,” he growls before stalking out of the room.

I hiss as water touches the thin cut across my throat.
“Sorry, shorty,” Maximus whispers as he moves the sponge away from my neck and starts washing my shoulders.
The Doctor arrived ten minutes after Christian left. He checked over my injuries and confirmed the worst was the head injury from hitting the mirror. He cleaned and glued it and gave me strict instructions to keep it dry for five days.
When the doctor left Maximus brought me to my bathroom where Mrs Brown had run me a deep bath as I couldn’t have a shower with my glued head. I lean back in the bath as Maximus washes my side and catches the thin cut from where Hudson had slid a knife down my side, causing me to hiss again.
“If I wasn’t terrified of letting you out of my sight, I’d go and help Christian plan how to kill the bastard,” Maximus growls as he throws the sponge into the sink across the bathroom.
“I have a feeling he won’t need help,” I admit as I open my eyes and look into Maximus’s.
“It would make me feel like I was doing something useful,” he sighs.
“You are being useful. I don’t want to be alone right now,” I admit. Maximus reaches up and brushes a stray section of hair off my face.
“How you feeling?” he asks for the hundredth time.
“Like if you ask me one more time I may drown you in this bath,” I sigh with my eyes closed. When I open them, I smirk at him, “I have three other daddies who I’m sure know how to hide your body.”
Maximus laughs as he stands up and heads to the side where my towels are placed. He picks one up and walks over to sit back on the stool next to the bath.
“Can I get out now? The water stings.”
He nods before helping me get out of the bath and to balance on my bad leg. He wraps the towel around my chest and carefully dries my neck and shoulders with another.
“You’ll get blood on the white towels!” I protest stepping away from him, but he just follows me shaking his head.
“Mrs Brown can get blood out of anything. Trust me she has the experience,” he says offering a small smile. He kneels in front of me and pat dries my legs. “How’s your ankle feeling?”
“It hurts, but I’m sure it will be fine after some ice.”
“When you couldn’t stand, I thought he had broken it,” Maximus says as he stands up.
“I knew it wasn’t broken, just badly sprained. I may need to rest it for a couple of days, but it’ll be fine.”
Maximus carries me out of the bathroom and into the wardrobe where he helps me to put on some shorts and a vest top I like to wear to bed. Christian and Sean walk in as I stand up on my good leg.
“How are you feeling, baby girl?” Christian asks as he walks over and places a hand on my bruised cheek.
“I’m okay, possible mild concussion nothing serious,” I reply forcing a smile. Christian shakes his head and steps out of the way for Sean. As soon as he’s in front of me, he pulls me into his arms causing me to hiss in pain.
“Watch her side you idiot,” Maximus hisses as he goes to push his twin away from me, but I shake my head as I lean against Sean.
