“She’s at work,” he answered, andI could feel my chest loosening with the information. “While there aren’t any cameras in the offices to see what she’s actually doing, there are plenty at the entrances, in the hallways, and in the parking garage. She was captured using the backdoor with her keycard, and she’s been there all night.”
“Is she there alone?”
“Yeah,” he answered. “There’s been no other movement.”
“Okay, thanks.”
“Sure, Mr. Sartori,” he replied dutifully before hanging up.
CallingAurelio, he answered on the first ring. “You found her?”
“She’s at the Milton offices,” I informed him.
“Do you want me to go get her?”
“No.” Now, while I was used to keeping odd hours, I was exhausted as fuck and didn’t trust myself to be in the rightframe of mind to deal with her. “Have someone sit outside the building, then follow her when she finally leaves. I want them to sit on her until I meet up with her.”
“She’s your wife, Nero,” he remarked needlessly. “I can’t just assign anyone to her.”
Hewas right, of course. As my wife, she needed the best, and I’d assign her Aurelio if I thought that he could be unbiased about who she was and how I felt about her. I needed a guard that was going to guard her; nothing more, nothing less.
“Rafael Luciano,” I named. He was my best man, second to Aurelio, and he was in charge of all the house guards. He knew his security, and he was lethal with any weapon that you put in his hands. He would treat Kasen like a job, and Rafael Luciano did all of his jobs well.”
“I’ll let him know,” he replied.
“We’ll have a meeting tonight to discuss the change in the house guards.”
“I’ll let your father and brother know,” he said, a slight smirk in his voice.
Right now, I couldn’t care less about my father or my brother.
Chapter 14
Kasen~
“Babe?”
I felt a warm hand on my ankle, and though the voice sounded faint, it was still loud enough to pull me from my sleep. Opening my eyes, I quickly remembered where I was. While I had a very comfortable and very expensive chair in my office, it hadn’t been designed to sleep all night in.
Lowering my legs and straightening my back, I looked up to see Ryan Buckner grinning down at me. “What time is it?” I asked as I stretched my neck and back.
“It’s almost ten inthe morning.”
My eyes widened at that. “Jesus Christ.”
“What are you doing here,babe?”
I shook my head, still doing my best to wake up. “I…uhm, I needed to…” I covered my mouth as I let out a yawn. “I needed to spring clean to make room for somefiles.” My brows furrowed as my eyes began to adjust to the light. “What are you doing here on a Sunday?”
“I have court in the morning,” he explained. “I came by to prep a bit.”
I nodded because Ryan wouldn’t be the first person in this office to work aSunday in preparation for court on Monday. I’d done it countless times myself. I also knew Ryan to be one hell of a lawyer, so that was another reason why I wasn’t surprised to see him here.
“That’ll do it,” I joked, my body aching all over the place.
“Here,” he said as he placed an insulated to-go cup on my desk. “This is for you.”
“It is?” I asked, even though I wasn’t letting manners stop me from reaching for it.
