Amina hadn’t known what lie to tell, so she’d used Linden as an excuse. And now Zeke Walton wanted to go kill the guy?
How could she let that happen!
She struggled to break free from Zeke Walton’s grip.
"I’m not going. I didn’t cheat on you. I was just telling you the truth. Let go of me. If you can’t accept it, then we’ll break up. I’m not going out with you."
Zeke Walton was relentless. "Even if we break up, we have to clear the air first! We’ll break up after you undo this humiliation! You two already planned to be together, you’re about to fucking dump me, and you still say you didn’t cheat on me? Does it only count if I catch you in bed? Amina, I’m trying to be civil. I don’t want to lay a hand on you, so don’t push me!"
Amina said weakly, but stubbornly,
"I’m not pushing you. I’ll go look for a new place tomorrow. As soon as I find one, I’ll take Grandma and move out..."
"So you’ve already fucking planned it all out? You’re going to move in with him? Fuck! You only met once, and you’re this desperate? Did you sleep with him? And you still won’t admit you cheated on me? Fuck! I must have been blind to fall for a woman like you! You don’t dare come with me, right? Scared I’ll break your lover boy’s legs? Don’t think I’m powerless! As long as you two are in Veridia, I’ll find that bastard sooner or later. Just you wait and see how I’ll deal with him then!"
With that, Zeke Walton angrily shook off Amina’s hand and stormed out the door again.
’I’m so screwed.’
Listening to their argument, the nanny thought to herself, ’How could Amina be so stupid? To throw away a great man like Zeke Walton and find someone else on the side. That girl looks so innocent and proper, how could she...’
’I was hoping to see them get married and help take care of their kids. Now it looks like I’ll have to find a new job again.’
Zeke Walton jumped into his car, gunned it onto the road, and sped straight for Club DL.
The club’s first-floor bar was buzzing with energy. In the middle of the dance floor, a tall woman with exaggerated makeup and a scant, daring outfit was dancing wildly, unleashing her charm.
Brandon Jacobs was sitting alone in a sofa booth in the middle of the bar. Damien Vaughn walked over with his arm around Cecelia Archer.
"What’s this big announcement that was so important you had to drag me all the way out here?"
Brandon Jacobs didn’t say anything, just raised his eyebrows at them in greeting.
Ever since he came back from Rivia, he’d been acting like this every time they saw him.
Damien Vaughn didn’t know how to comfort him, so he could only resort to teasing him the way Wyatt Wynn would.
"Cat got your tongue? If you have something to say, say it. Why the brooding act? Where’s Wyatt Wynn?"
Brandon Jacobs finally deigned to speak. "He should be here soon. Have a drink first, just wait a little longer."
’Looks like this really is important.’ He’d summoned all of them here to announce it in front of everyone.
Damien Vaughn got Cecelia Archer a glass of juice, and the two of them leaned back on the sofa.
Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, Wyatt Wynn walked in with Zeke Walton.
Zeke Walton was like a furious lion. The moment he arrived, he threw himself violently onto the sofa and kicked the coffee table in frustration.
"Fuck!"
Wyatt Wynn sat down slowly, glanced around at everyone, and gave a carefree laugh.
"What’s with you guys lately? One more dramatic than the next. Jacobs here has been moping around looking half-dead, Vaughn is impossible to find, and I was thinking you, Zeke Walton, were the only emotionally stable one, happily in love, so I could hang with you. But you... what happened? Have a fight with your little girlfriend?"
"Who the fuck has a girlfriend? Who the fuck had a fight? This is bullshit! Fuck!"
Zeke Walton, cursing up a storm, poured himself a drink, snatched it up, and started chugging it down. GULP, GULP, GULP.
Everyone watched his towering rage and exchanged glances.
’He’s this pissed off and says they didn’t fight? That young lady seemed so mild-mannered, but she managed to get him this furious.’
’What a strange world. Everyone meets their match.’
’Back then, he nearly drove Simone Vaughn crazy and acted like nothing happened. This must be karma.’
