Jennifer Marie.

“That’s enough. Thanks!” I tell the nurse to leave me alone in this damn foyer of a house I have no idea where I am. God, is that how easy it is for me to get kidnapped? But I swear my knee was in so much brutal pain that I couldn’t fight back much. Now that the nurse has put some numbing cream on it, I get up and look around.

You know what? I don’t care. I’m going to call Harvey to get me out of here in case this is some real kidnapping situation.

Reign walks in.

“Hmm, I guess the numbing cream worked.”

“Give me my car keys.” I hold out my hand. He pulls them from his pocket but doesn’t give it to me.

“I didn’t mean to push you. I forgot you were a woman. I’m sorry

“Yeah, right. Is Jenna here? Did she ask you to kidnap me?” I glance around the enormous house and notice security guys everywhere. Well, if he’s the son of a Don, that means this whole place is guarded and he brought me here. Am I in serious danger, or should I lie to myself that he brought me here to help after my bruised knee?

“You can leave. I’m not a kidnapper.”

“Yeah, just a stalker.” I scoff. I probably shouldn’t after seeing how angry this guy gets, but I swear it’s the hate I have for his sister leaking out.

“Is this how you talk to Harvey? Probably shouldn’t do it with me Men from my world don’t take it lightly when women speak like this.” He warns me with that look on his face that’s quite scary but again, I hate him more than I fear him.

“Stalker and sexist. I won’t forget. Women from my side of the world don’t give a shit what you think. My keys. Now!” I snap.

His face hardens even more. The veins on his forehead bulge as he grabs me forcefully, visibly furious. I use my elbow to create space between us.

“You are the most nerve-racking bitch I’ve ever helped in my life” He growls inches from my face.

I snatch my keys from him anyway and shove him away. “Then ever help me again.”

I start walking out of the foyer of his home. As soon as I’m moving, I hear his men yelling something, but I don’t pay attention. I just open the front door-

And the next person I see is Harvey.

I look at him in relief, but he looks at me with devastation!

Because… what would I be doing here? In Reign’s home? No. Oh shit.

I have never seen this look on Harvey’s face before. His brow is pulled tight with lines I’ve never seen there. He looks like he’s in physical pain just looking at me, taking slow steps closer as if to figure out if I’m real or some kind of cruel apparition.

I swear, Harvey’s chest is rising and falling too fast, too shallow, like he can’t quite catch his breath just from looking at me.

There’s fear there. His hand lifts halfway, then drops, then lifts again…reaching for me but too afraid to actually as if contact might prove I’m not real, or worse, that I am.

“The fuck are you doing here!?” His voice breaks on the question It’s not how I’ve ever heard him ask me anything before. This is…cruel.

Chapter 77

Before I can answer, Reign speaks from behind me.

“What do you think? What do you think a girl is doing in my home? Take a good guess. Was she on her knees before I even got the door closed? Was she bent over the back of my couch while I fucked her stupid?”

Before I can even tell Harvey that’s a freaking lie from hell, he belts past me so fast I don’t even see him move. Suddenly Reign’s men all have their guns trained on him. But then I see Harvey isn’t alone…there are trucks parked at the front of Reign’s house, and from every direction, dudes in black outfits storm into the vicinity.

Reign starts laughing madly. Truly, madly. Even when I try to make my way through the chaos, it’s impossible. I can only see Harvey’s back, rigid with fury.

“I had her on all bloody fours. What can I say?”

“Harvey, that’s not true!” I scream, realizing Reign will say anything to get a reaction. What the hell is this-

“I got the club you wanted, and I got the bitch you’re trying to win back. How’s that for a Monday morning huh?” Reign continues taunting him with a haughty laugh.

I push through, desperate for Harvey to see me, to know whatever Reign is saying isn’t true. I did not sleep with Reign. I never would. I can’t even imagine it! My heart is slamming against my ribs so hard I feel dizzy. Why would Reign say that!? Is he darn stupid!?

When I get to where I can finally see his face, I call his name.

“Harvey?”

He looks at me. Men have guns out everywhere, and I’m not sure what the right way to approach this scene is. I’m genuinely terrified of what to do next. Harvey walks back from where his guys are holding the line inside the house. He comes to me.

“What are you doing here?”

“My car was-”

“I told you if you wanted something, you ask me!” He grits at me with the most anger in his eyes I’ve ever seen. He doesn’t even try to hear me out first. He just… assumes.

“What do I look like? Some person without self-control?” I hiss at him.

“Then why the fuck are you doing here!? With Reign!? Don’t you fucking-” He covers his mouth for a moment, and I just watch him breathe heavily, like his mind is shattered and there’s no going back. “You and this bastard?”

Harvey points at me, and I’m so…I’m so shattered….don’t tell me it takes one word from Reign for him to believe that! Don’t tell me everything we were, everything I thought he knew about me, means so little…

I shake my head but then I think: he can finally figure out how I felt hurt with him and Jenna. He can taste it for a moment how bad it hurt me that I couldn’t even eat. It’s not like I led him to believe this foolery he’s saying. I actually want to clear my name, but he’s already made up his mind!

I don’t have anything to say here anymore. I just start walking away, stepping out under the sun.

Harvey pulls my hand from behind as I’m heading back to my car and forces me to look at him.

“Don’t fucking turn your back when I’m talking to you!” He yells in my face, then steps back a few feet to look at what I’m wearing. “You wore this so he could easily get in? Is that how cheap it is to get you? Did you do this to get back at me… because of Jenna?”

I instantly feel sick at what he’s already concluded about me. After literally giving my virginity to him? This is how quickly he turns on me-yet I didn’t even do half of this when I found out about him and Jenna.
