"Wow." It's the only word that came to my mind after looking at all the information Isabelle placed in front of me.
"I know, it's probably a lot to take in." She nervously bit her lip as she took a seat next to me. "I know you mentioned there was infidelity on both parts but I don't think you knew just how bad it was."
She's right, I didn't know it was this bad. I knew Elise had the occasional hook up here and there but I ignored it. Even acted like I didn't know a thing about it.
Probably sounds dumb but I was grateful she found other people to take care of her needs. I was miserable, the last thing I wanted to do is have sex with someone so awful. She had gotten so toxic that my cock could've fallen off from being inside of her.
"Are you okay?" Isabelle's tone was soft and sweet, just like her.
"I'm fine." I reassured her. "I don't care about her cheating on me, I couldn't care any less how many men she's spread her legs for. I care about the fact she's trying to destroy my happy relationship and my family along with it."
"Well, this should help shut her up." Isabelled responded. "At least I can't imagine that she would want everyone to know about this."
"You're right." I nodded in agreement. "It'll definitely buy us some more time at the very least and that's something."
"Good." A small smile crossed her lips.
"You did great." I placed my hand on her knee and gently squeezed. "I need you to set up a meeting with Elise, not on the grounds of Tipton Enterprises. That way I can shut her down once and for all."
"Okay. I can get that done in the morning." She pulled her phone out and looked at the calendar. "What day do you want?"
"Any day." I leaned back on the couch. "The sooner the better though, that way she doesn't have the chance to release the information on my mother before she knows we have this."
I wanted Elise to know that she wasn't going to come out of this on top. I wanted her to see the revenge coming. I wanted her to feel the anxiety, knowing that it's inevitable but that she doesn't know exactly when it was going to happen.
"Okay." She looked up from her phone. "I'll call Alexandra when we get into work tomorrow and have her set something up."
"Sounds good." I leaned over and tucked a piece of her chocolate brown hair behind her ear. "You're absolutely stunning, you know that right."
She almost immediately blushed. "Thank you."
I placed a kiss on her cheek. "No problem Sweetheart."
She positioned herself to face me a little easier. "Now I have something to discuss with you."
"Which is?" I raised a brow.
"Why'd you follow me?" She questioned.
Of course, I played dumb. "No idea what you're talking about."
"I'm not stupid." She gave me a serious look. "I saw Killian's car. Why did you follow me, did you not trust me to get this information on my own?"
"It's not that." I shook my head. "I just wanted to make sure you were safe is all. We're at a point where Elise is only getting more and more agitated that I haven't given in to her request. I don't know what she'll do but until your security guard comes in tomorrow, I felt like it was best to make sure nothing happened."
She folded her arms across her chest as she thought for a moment. "What if something had happened? What would you have done?"
My brows narrowed as a confused expression took over. "Did you expect that something would?"
"No." She answered. "I just wanted to know, what would you have done if something did."
"I don't know if I should answer this." The question came out of nowhere. The response I have is probably one she wouldn't like.
She rolled her eyes as a huff left her lips. "Just answer the question."
I took a breath and exhaled it. "If something had happened I would've stormed into that bar so damn fast. I would've done anything and everything to keep you safe. To the point that whoever was the culprit would be begging for the sweet release of death just to get the fuck away from me."
"I see." She nodded as she took my words in.
"And if they had tried to take you anywhere I would've hunted them down." I added as I grabbed her waist and brought her into my lap. "Then I would've tortured them in anyway I saw fit until I got bored."
I began placing kisses on her neck. She moved her head to the side, allowing me better access. I took it a step further and gently bit her skin in between my teeth.
"You'd go that far for me?" She asked as chills ran down her body.
My lips brush her skin against where I just had bitten as I respond. "Sweetheart, I'd fucking kill for you."
I meant it with all my heart. If anyone were to lay even a finger on her they'd be on my hit list so quick.
She's mine, and my father always told me that we protect what's ours at all costs. Only recently did I learn exactly how far he really meant.
I ran my hand up her thigh, heading for under her skirt. Her body practically quivered with anticipation as she knew I was going right for that perfect pussy. As I do I run my nose along her neck.
My phone began to ring, an attempt to kill the moment. I broke my attention from her for a moment to pull it out from my pocket. My father's name's on the screen but I tossed it aside, he can wait.
I go back to kissing Isabelle's neck. I could feel myself growing harder and harder the longer I teased her. My hand trails up her thigh once again until I'm rubbing the fabric of her underwear, which is already coated with her excitement.
Unfortunately it's short lived as now her phone's the one ringing. She picks it up and looks at me. "It's your dad."
I exhale an agitated breath. "Fucking cock block."
