I gritted my teeth. I had said that, and now I wondered if I’d made a huge mistake leaving my wife alone all day in the company of her handsome, ex-Navy SEAL bodyguard. ‘And she goes there every day?’ I asked.
‘Almost,’ he replied.
‘Just her and Hugo?’
‘Yes, Boss,’ Jacob answered and I heard the confusion in his voice.
‘How long are they gone for?’
‘Usually about five or six hours. Sometimes all day.’
‘Where is Hugo today?’ I barked.
‘It’s Wednesday, Boss. It’s his day off.’
I ended the call without another word as my blood thundered in my ears.
Charity work! That lying, cheating, puta!
I knew she wasn’t to be trusted. She was her father’s daughter after all. And as for Hugo, once I was through with him, he would be begging me for a quick death.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and spun around to see Jax standing there. ‘Everything okay, amigo?’ he asked with a frown seeing the anger on my face.
‘No,’ I growled.
‘Can it wait until after our meeting? The mayor has arrived?’
I buttoned my suit jacket and flexed my neck muscles to relieve some tension. I had to take this meeting with the mayor. Maybe it would give me a chance to calm down before I confronted my lying, whore of a wife. Because if I went home now, I might just break my cardinal rule of never hurting a woman.
So, she felt like a prisoner in my house, did she? Well, she fucking would be from now on, that was for sure. She wouldn’t be stepping foot over the front door again. I would chain her to the fucking bed if I had to.
ALANA
I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a fluffy towel around myself before walking into the bedroom.
When my hangover had finally subsided, I’d enjoyed a lovely afternoon in the sun followed by fifty lengths of the pool. Now my muscles were aching in that pleasant post-exercise way.
I was walking over to the bed when the bedroom door burst open and Alejandro stormed into the room. I could feel the anger radiating from him from twenty paces away. He glared at me, his dark brown eyes full of rage and fire.
I swallowed and wrapped my towel tighter around myself as he approached, as though that somehow offered me some protection from the raging demon who was advancing on me. I had no idea what the hell had made him so angry, but I had little desire to be on the receiving end of his wrath.
He stopped as he reached me, although he stepped close enough that I could feel the heat from his body, and smell the expensive cologne he used.
‘Where were you yesterday afternoon? After your shopping trip?’ he growled at me and despite my fear, I felt his words vibrating through my body.
‘I was doing my charity work,’ I replied.
‘And the day before?’ he snapped.
‘The same.’
He inched closer to me. ‘With Hugo?’
I blinked at him. What was this about? ‘Yes. He comes with me. You won’t let me leave the house without him.’
He glared at me then. His eyes burning into mine. ‘So you and him go out of this house for hours every day and you do your charity work?’ he scoffed, saying the last two words as though they were dirty somehow.
He was starting to annoy me now and I glared back at him. ‘Yes. What the hell is your problem?’
