“Who did this?”
Logan was right behind him, demanding, “Amelia.”
“Give her space, for goodness’ sakes,” Emma said, trying to nudge them away. “Sweetie, are you okay?”
“No,” Amelia cried and launched her face into Aidan’s chest. His enormous arms tightened around her, and Lily watched as he shared a stern look with Logan.
“Who is he, Amelia?” Logan demanded.
“I’m not telling you.” Her voice was muffled. Then she lifted her head. “Stay out of it, please.”
Emma shot her a cringe.
Even Lily knew that was unlikely and she hadn’t known them all that long.
“I mean it,” she cried. “I love him...but. It doesn’t matter anymore.”
Love?
“The fuck it doesn’t,” Logan growled.
“Come on. Let’s get you to bed,” Emma said, tugging her out of Aidan’s arms. “Some Tylenol will fix this.”
“And champagne,” Amelia said.
See. Rich people. Who drinks champagne with Tylenol?
Billionaires. That’s who.
Logan and Emma had escorted the teary Amelia to her room, leaving Lily and Aidan standing alone. He’d looked stressed, so she’d nudged her thumb over her shoulder.
“I’ll just—”
Aidan nodded. When she began to walk away, he called out to her, “Lily!”
She turned.
“I’ll just check on her.”
Lily shook her head. “You should stay with her.”
Then she’d turned and walked down to her room. Obviously, he hadnotstayed with Amelia, but hehadarrived at a very bad time.
Lily had been on the phone with her father.
Not expecting Aidan to return, Lily had thought the knock at her door was Emma or hotel staff, so she’d said, “Dad, hang on a minute,”
Then opened the door.
Her eyes had flown open.
“Is that your fucking boss?” Aidan had growled.
“Lily? Who is that?” her father had cried, knowing it was late and she was in her hotel room.
Jesus.
It had been a clusterfuck.
