“Are you okay? Where are you? Has he hurt you?” Titus is on his feet, fire in his eyes waiting for Nate to pick something up. He tells me to keep the conversation going.

My heart is racing against my chest.

“I am divorcing you.” her tone is curt, but I can hear the sadness in her voice and then the speaker gets muffled. She's crying.

“Ari…” I whisper, because I don't believe her.

“I'm done. I can't forgive you for betraying me,” she sniffles, and my heart is crushed.

“I didn't mean it, I did it for you, for yours and your dad’s relationship.” It's the truth, I wanted Titus to know and her too.

“I don't care,”

You do care. I know you do.

“Blossom, please, I'll do anything, what do you want?”

Thump. Thump. Thump.

“For you to leave me alone, the papers are signed. It's over.”

“Ari…”

“It's done,” Wolfe's voice seeps down the phone and my blood runs cold and the phone goes dead.

I turn to face Nate, and he shakes his head from side to side.

“Fuck!” I throw my phone at the wall and watch as the screen flickers on the floor.

A beep fills the hostile room, and Titus's eyes widen as he looks at his phone.

“What is it?” I rush over and I have never felt anger like this before, this is an anger that I have kept buried for as long as I can remember, but it's finally erupted on seeing the image of Arizona on his phone. Gagged. On her knees. Bloodied and bruised and being forced to do something no one should have to witness.

“I'm going to fucking kill him,” Titus roars.

“You'll have to beat us to it,” Xavier says with Killian, Nate and Kaleb standing behind him.

CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR

WOLFE

The front door buzzes and I radio through to security to let him in.

Dexter Rutherford.

Nice to keep people close. Was easy to keep tabs on Arizona through Dex. Not that he would know. Clueless bastard.

A knock on the door pulls me from my thoughts and I sit up in my seat.

“Come in,” I call out and Dex and his little stripper whore walk through the door. Pretty face, reckless body. Would destroy her.

“Dexter, Sage, so nice to see you again,” I stand, leaning across the desk and shaking his hand.

Would have had a hard on from the sight of Sage but got my fix from Arizona before my meeting so I am all good, for now anyway.

“Dex, please,” his gruff British accent grates on me.

“Of course,” I sit down and minimize the CCTV screen. Don't need them finding Arizona now do I?
