“It’s not like that,” she explained. “Please just calm down and let me explain. I’m just his publicist.”
“So what’s the difference now? Huh? You don’t suck his dick for free anymore? Now he just pays for your pussy instead?”
My fist connected with his jaw, sending him flying back against a car.
Autumn’s stare went wide. “Oh my god!”
Kinley darted to her husband’s side while Autumn snapped around, getting right in my face. “Are you fucking insane?!”
I sternly pointed to him. “He cannot talk to you like that.”
“Why not? You do!”
Unable to control my temper, I roared, “What did he mean by is it me, Autumn?”
“Nothing.”
Christian shoved his sister out of the way, standing in front of me again.
“Christian, please!” she pleaded in a desperate tone that shook my body to the core.
“What’s going on?” I asked, torn and baffled by what was happening between them.
“How the fuck can you defend him, Autumn?!” His glare flew in my direction. “Is that why you left, Julian?! Huh? Couldn’t deal—”
“Christian, stop! Please!”
“It is you, isn’t it?! That’s why she’s defending you! Well, I won’t let her take the fall for you again, motherfucker!”
“For fuck’s sake! Just out with it, Christian! What the hell are you talking about?”
“It’s you!” he raged, knocking me on my ass, and my world as I knew it came plummeting down on my head.
When he added…
“You’re the fucking father to her daughter!”
Chapter Eighteen
—Julian—
“Daughter?” I breathed out, all the air from my lungs vanishing while I stood there unable to move, but for a much different reason this time. My eyes shot to Autumn. “What is he talking about?”
She stared at me with wide eyes and a terrified expression. The blood had drained from her face, and her chest rose and fell while she was frozen in place.
“Autumn.” I stepped toward her. “I won’t ask you again.”
She placed her hand over her heart like she was trying to hold it together, and in two strides I was in her face.
“Julian, please…”
“Please what, Autumn? I want you to look me in the eyes and tell me what the fuck Christian is talking about.” When she didn’t respond fast enough, I ordered, “Now!”
She jolted out of her skin, shuddering. “I don’t know what you want me to say.”
“I want the truth.”
“Holy shit.” Kinley jumped in, standing in between all of us. “Everyone needs to take a second and calm down, okay? This isn’t helping anyone.”
