I had a stressful week, and the last thing I needed was having to deal with Woodrow finding out his niece was at the damn Palace.
To everyone’s luck, Woodrow was out of town and nowhere near Wilmington, and I had enough time to get Remedy home without him knowing she’d ever been here.
That was if she hadn’t already told him where she was. Remedy was a smart girl, but that wasn’t her best move.
“Give me your phone,” I demanded, holding out my hand between us.
Her gaze dropped, her brows furrowing. If she did that one more fucking time I would go feral.
“Remedy.” I said her name calmly, and those different colored eyes looked up at me again. “I’m not going to repeat myself.”
She studied me as if she was ready to test me. That would be a big mistake, and she knew it.
I beckoned to her, my impatience growing.
She sucked in her bottom lip, then reached behind her to pull out her phone. She knew to unlock it without me having to tell her, then she placed the phone in my hand.
I curled my fingers around it and started looking for her texting app, and once I found it, I tapped on Woodrow’s chat.
He hadn’t seen her text yet, and I made quick work of deleting it. I knew it wasn’t her fault that she was dragged over here, and I wanted to make sure that Woodrow wouldn’t scold her for that. It was JT’s mistake to take her here, and I would handle him later.
Before giving back her phone, I scrolled down her contacts to see who she was texting.
Woodrow, Agnes, Alistair, Jagger.
There were no other chats. Damn, this girl needed to get out more. She was allowed to have friends. But apparently, she didn’t want to have any. Not that it fucking mattered to me anyway.
I pressed my thumb onto the screen, opening Jagger’s chat, and Remedy immediately protested.
“You can’t just read my messages,” she hissed, trying to grab her phone out of my hand.
I lifted my arm to hold it away from her, and I raised cocked a brow, warning her. “I can do whatever the fuck I want, sweet girl. Remember that.”
I had stunned her with my words. She crossed her arms over her chest and turned her head away, murmuring something under her breath.
“What was that?” I taunted, staring down at her.
She didn’t say a word. She looked at me, then moved her gaze to the floor.
“That’s what I fucking thought.”
I looked at the phone’s screen again, scrolling up to see where their last conversation had started.
They were close, but I knew they hadn’t fucked. Jagger was a fucking psychopath, and there’s no way he would let himself ruin her that way.
He liked to fuck just as much as the next guy, and he wasn’t necessarily good to our women at the club. But with Remedy, he was a whole different person.
Fuck knows why.
She wasn’t special.
My jaw tightened and my body tensed at the shit I was thinking. Remedy was more than fucking special. I knew she thought I never acknowledged her, but I had my eyes on her for a while now.
I never made it obvious to stare and watch her, but every time I got a chance, my eyes were on her.
She was oblivious to my stares because my presence made her uncomfortable, yet she had her eyes on me whenever I was in the room.
I was a fucking man. I knew she was attracted to me. Problem was, if I let her get close to me, it’d be the fucking end for me.
