ChapterTwo
Julius mentally shook himself, but there was no forgetting the look on Avalynn’s face when he handed over that computer tablet. It took everything in him to walk out of the room and give her some space to watch the video alone.
He was helpless. His hands tied. He could contain threats and make sure nobody laid a finger on her, but he couldn’t protect her from what she would see on that tape.
With a sigh of resignation, he grabbed his laptop and sank to the bed in his own room. If he was going to keep her safe, he had to know what he was up against.
Opening his email in a secure window, he scrolled to the most recent message in his inbox and clicked.
The video opened for him, and he enlarged it to view on the full screen. With one ear on the door to Avalynn’s room, he hit play on the video.
After a minute, relief filled him. It wasn’t that graphic. It pissed him off that the guy’s face was completely obscured from the camera, but thankfully, so was Avalynn’s.
However, that tattoo on her leg was a dead giveaway as to her identity. Then again, that tattoo had been splashed across every social media channel and most of the tabloids in the world. A lot of girls probably ran out and got the same tattoo.
Julius froze the screen and made the tattoo even larger.
“Fuck,” he ground out.
It was definitely Avalynn on the sex tape. How did he know that the teeny tiny freckle by the bird’s foot belonged to his ward?It’s your damn job to know every little detail about her, including distinguishing markings.
He watched the rest of the video, taking in the fact that the male had a dick almost as small as that freckle…and one more thing that made his fist bunch.
She wasn’t moving in the video. All that movement was her body being jostled around. Those sounds weren’t coming from her either.
The man’s torso moved over top of her bare breasts and stomach. The guy obviously worked out. He didn’t get muscles like that from sitting around plotting against his famous lover.
His body actually looked a lot like Julius’s.
However…
That dick is definitely not like mine.
The video ended, and he let out a silent breath of relief that his ward’s face never visible in the video.
Loud banging on the door of Avalynn’s suite made him slam the laptop shut and toss it on his bed. In a few strides, he reached the door adjoining his room to hers and threw it wide.
As he reached the entrance to her suite, more loud banging rattled the door. He yanked it open and looked down on the person he expected to see sooner—Avalynn’s manager.
Heidi leveled him in her gaze. “I’m so going to fire you.”
He smirked at her and returned to Avalynn.
She sat on the edge of the bed in the same spot, the tablet on her lap. She stared down at it, but the screen was black.
“Oh, honey!” Heidi rushed in, dropped to the bed and took Avalynn in her arms. She endured the embrace but sat stiffly. Lana, Damon and Freddy crowded around, offering her words meant to comfort.
Avalynn peeked at Julius around her manager’s shoulder. It was a cry for help if he’d ever seen one.
“Okay, give the woman some space to think and breathe.” He broke up the team and they fell back at his command.
Lana whipped out her phone. “We have to get on top of this. There’s no time to lose! Avalynn, are you ready to give your statement?”
He crouched in front of his ward. “Avalynn, do you want them here?”
Her watery blue eyes met his. “You care about my feelings?”
His chest burned. “Of course I do.”
