The Devil CEO's Contract Wife novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Big Cocks, Small Cocks

Reed clenched his teeth. "I knew it."

"D-Does this mean the driver is still out there?" I asked in a panicked voice.

"We’ll find him. I promise," he said in a dark tone that sent shivers down my spine.

Confusion and worry took over me. Who wanted me dead? Why didn’t the cops catch something like this? If the driver’s alive, then where could he be?

"Mrs. King?"

"Hmm?"

When Reed took his phone, our fingers brushed, and that brought me back to earth.

"This is the reason why I didn’t wanna tell you."

"What? That I’d go pale and scream bloody murder?"

He chuckled, but it was brief.

"Look, I know Ares is an important figure in Midnight. He has enemies; it would have been more suspicious if he didn’t, given the careers he destroys with one word."

I say that, but I wasn’t truly clear with that idea.

"Mr. King is doing everything in his power to investigate this. It’s been on for a month now, and he’s still..." He wavered.

"Still what?"

"He’s torn up about your accident. He doesn’t show it, but it comes up when he asks for progress, and I get cold feet because I think he’s gonna snap my neck if I don’t get something worth his time."

"H-He torn up?"

"Yes."

I suddenly recalled that day at the hospital when he saw the bruises and the rage that took over his eyes, unlike anything I have ever seen before.

"Cat, come check this out!"

Tori’s voice made me jump.

"Coming!"

"We should go over there," I suggest.

"I think it’s best I stay here; it gives more grounds to cover."

"Be my shield against Nico, I can’t tolerate him anymore," I said, pulling on his arms and dragging him along.

"Besides, men are guarding every corner. I’m sure you can take a little break."

"You can tell?"

"They are not exactly being discreet."

"You have good eyes," he remarked.

"Only when I’m wearing my glasses," I said, adjusting them.

"Phew! It’s so hot!" Athena said, fanning herself.

I have to agree with her, I’m seconds away from taking this shirt off. She should count herself lucky she wore a brimmed hat.

"Now that’s so many cocks."

"Tori!"

"What? I’m right..." she said, pointing to the coop, discreetly hiding her amusement.

"Yes, there’s the big cocks and the small cocks," Athena said, leaning against the fence.

"Are we still talking about chickens?" Nico asked.

"Are you feeling insecure?" I countered, and everyone except Nico snorted.

Nico wasn’t offended by my comment and gave me a smug grin. "Believe me, milady, I’m in the bigger category."

"Are you talking about your ego?"
