Nostrils flaring, Ford draws back and kicks the door open, much to the disgust of a naked Chad Freemont.
“What the fuck is this? I’ll sue you, you bastard. Get the fuck—”
He stops, spotting me behind Ford, and his indignation turns to amusement. “Oh, yes. I’ve been waiting on you to figure it out.”
I step closer, rage dripping from every word. “If she’d told me sooner, I’d have kicked your ass long before now.”
His forehead crumples in confusion as he tugs on a pair of shorts, finally covering his piss-poor excuse for a limp dick. “How did she figure it out before you?”
It’s my turn to frown. “How did who figure what out? What the hell are you talking about, Freemont?”
He rolls his eyes and tuts loudly. “It’s surprising that your wife would figure out my hand in the media leaks before you would…” He trails off and smirks.
“Though she didclaimto have been valedictorian, so…” He lets his words hang between us for a long beat.
And suddenly, the massively intrusive media all makes sense. They’ve always been invasive, but since I met Rey, things have been unbearable.
And despite seething internally, I push it to one side, and firmly fixate on getting justice for this cunt’s treatment of my wife.
“Doesn’t matter anymore. It’s all been taken care of.” I cross my arms over my chest and pin him with a look. “Just means I’ll go that little bit harder on you for being a bigger twat than I’d initially thought.”
I turn to a stony-faced Ford. “Take the lady downstairs and call the cops. Shut this place down.”
Chad’s loud shout of protest reverberates through the room. “The fuck you will!”
“Just watch me, asshole!”
I step closer, menacingly. “But first, you’re going to pay for laying your hands onmy wife!

Reyna’s face is lit up with a bright smile when I finish telling her about the errand I’d run with Ford earlier as she’d studio shopped with Bailey. My face mirrors hers before her lips hungrily seize mine with a ferocity that leaves me breathless and wanting a helluva lot more.
She breaks the kiss to pant against my mouth, “I told that prick once before that karma is a bitch – and hearing that he got what was coming to him makes my karma-loving heart so damn happy, I could burst!”
As we pull up outside our building, Ford catches my eye in the rearview mirror, the hint of a smile playing across his lips, and I press a kiss to the top of my Sunshine’s head, feeling a sense of contentment I’d never dreamt of until now.

I wake to text messages chiming in on my cell, one after the other.
Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding.
“Jesus fucking Christ!”
I grab my cell from its place on the nightstand and mute it as Rey burrows deeper into the covers, not quite ready to face the day after our late night last night.
I swipe up the screen, unlocking the cell and tapping on the steady stream of texts that keep coming.
Most of the messages are from my brother, so that’s the obvious place to start.
HENRY
The board are climbing up my ass here, Al. Is it fucking true?
I rub the sleep from my bleary eyes, dimly wondering what the fuck rumor is circulating now as I scroll to the next message.
