“Who is he working for?”
“I don’t get what you’re saying.”
“Maybe I should ask, who is he involved with?” My patience was running out.
“Um. Some girl from LSU, Megan Montgomery, I think is her name, although he doesn’t tell me much about his life any longer. But what I gathered is that her father is considering a run for president.”
“Let me guess. Megan is president of a sorority.”
“Yeah, why?”
I shoved him against the wall. “Where is he?”
“I don’t know. He and I haven’t talked in a long time,” Ramsey huffed, throwing up his hands. “The kid went off the deep end. He even told me if he couldn’t have Raven, no one could. I told him in no uncertain terms he wasn’t going to touch her. Ending their relationship the way I did had put a rift in my relationship with Thomas.”
Fuck me. I’d been blind and stupid.
“Where is your son now?” I snapped.
“Why should that matter?”
I jammed my hand into his throat. “If you want to live, you’re going to tell me.”
“He’s in New Orleans. Why?”
“What’s wrong?” Francois barked.
“We need to get to the plane. Now. Raven and Zoe are in danger.” And I was to blame.
CHAPTER24
Raven
A glass of wine in my hand, my feet dangling in the warm water of the pool, I glanced at the afternoon sun and exhaled, hoping that Arman would be home soon.
Home.
The single word was something that continued to surprise me. He’d given me my walking papers, if I wanted them, release from a contract I’d entered into willingly.
And it was the last thing I wanted to do.
Arman had shared with me the horrible things that had happened, more of the story about my father and how close they were, my dad being a mentor to him and his biological brothers.
“What are you doing to do?” Zoe asked, kicking her feet in the water. “About my father?”
“We have a lot to discuss but I love him. I know it’s crazy. I know I shouldn’t. I know he’s no prince, but he’s my prince.”
When she didn’t say anything, I glanced at her, laughing seeing her wrinkled nose.
“If you tell me he’s a good kisser, I think I’ll puke.”
It was my turn to laugh. She’d done her best to make me comfortable and I’d found myself relaxing to a point. “Do you have a boyfriend?”
Now Zoe rolled her eyes. “Are you kidding me? My father would kill me. Or he’d kill the guy. Until I move away and go to college far away from here, I won’t be able to have a life. He’s far too… possessive.”
“Because he loves you and worries about you.”
“Enemies. He has too many enemies.”
