“Give me your phone,” I said sternly.
She turned around to look at me. “Why?”
“I am blocking him,” I said and reached out for her to give me the phone.
“You don’t have to do that,” she shook her head. “I will call him and explain.”
“No,” I said through my teeth. “You are done talking to him. Give me your phone.”
She stared at me without moving. I could see tears forming in her eyes. Seeing her tears hurt, but I was not changing my mind. I will do what I must to make sure she stays alive.
Jacob nudged her with his elbow, and she looked up at him.
“Do what he says, Minnie,” he said softly. “We can’t trust him.”
She stared at him pleadingly. “Please, Jake.”
He sighed and cupped her face.
“Do you trust me?” he asked her and leaned in.
She nodded and placed her hands over his.
“Then please trust me on this,” he said. “Right now, he is a threat. You can’t talk to him. Please give Gabriel your phone.”
She looked at me and gulped.
“Please, Minnie,” Jake said and caressed her cheeks. “I am your family and I want what’s best for you.”
My blood started boiling. I am her family. My jaw clenched but I kept quiet. If this little speech of his is helping, I will let him talk.
She nodded and pulled out her phone, and handed it to me.
“Thank you,” Jacob said and pressed his forehead on hers.
I was glad Nick wasn’t here to see this. He would have ripped Jacob apart.
I took the phone from Aria’s hand and unlocked it. I found Ian in her contacts, blocked him and deleted his number from her phone.
I gave the phone back to her. She didn’t even look at me. She turned around and went back to cooking dinner.
I wanted to talk to her, but I was interrupted by the doorbell. I walked out of the kitchen toward the front door, but Nick was already there. He opened the door and I saw two men standing in front.
“Mike,” Annie’s voice came from behind me.
She walked toward them with a big smile on her face.
“Hey, Ann,” Mike said and wrapped her in a hug. “I missed you.”
“I missed you, too,” she said and took a step back before hugging the other guy. “Hi, Jack. I am so glad to see you again.”
Nick growled at the man, and I hit him with my elbow.
“Hi,” I smiled at them. “My name is Gabriel. Come on inside.”
They gave me a small smile before walking past me and Nick.
I motioned toward the living room and walked behind them.
