“He won’t like it.”
“His problem. I have to go.”
“Ava, please.”
“Are you on the phone with Ava? Hand me the phone?” I hear Viktor’s deep voice. I freeze in place.
“Ava,” I don’t answer. “I hear you breathing. We need to talk. Where are you?”
“I have nothing to say.” I end the call barely catching my breath.
Chapter Fifty-Eight
Viktor
“Where is she?”
“I don’t know.”
“Why were you talking to her?” I demand.
“She called.”
“She won’t talk to me but she will fucking talk to you. What did she want to talk about?”
“Calm down.”
“Don’t fucking tell me to calm down. There is no reason for her to talk to you.”
“I don’t know what you want me to say. She called asking about the money on her account.”
“What did you tell her?” I demand. I walk to the bar. I’m in desperate need of a drink even though it’s barely eleven in the morning.
“The truth. You asked for money to be wired to her account.”
“Anything else? How long were you on the phone with her? Where is she?”
“Less than two minutes. I didn’t get a chance. You came in and took the phone.”
“Unacceptable.” I refuse to let her go. I will do what I have to, whatever it takes. I don’t give a fuck what my father wants.
“She needs time to cool off. What do you want me to do?”
“Bring her home.”
I walk away. I’m done talking. I need to fix this. Fiona took advantage of a lapse of judgment on my part. Now I am paying the price. I will fight to bring Ava home regardless of any deal my father has with Cillian. If he wants to get in bed with the Irish so bad he could fucking take over and leave me out of it.
I only have one thing I care about, Ava. I’ll move heaven and earth to bring her home. This is not the end. I found the love of my life. Something I never thought would happen to me. Something I never thought I could have or deserved. Upstairs in my bedroom, I’m met by her sweet scent of lavender. Everything in its place. I am hoping this is a nightmare and Ava will walk in our bedroom any moment. But her ring is on the dresser where she left it when she left. I take it and go downstairs to my office. Oliver is in the foyer talking with a few of our men.
“Why are you still here? I asked you to bring her home.” He takes a deep breath. “What?” I bark.
“She won’t be there.” He answers.
“What do you mean?”
“I was asking her where she wanted her things to be sent. She said she wasn’t living with her father.” I take my phone and dial Tina.
“Hi, how are you feeling?”
