Chapter 92

Adelaide

The entire way over I was a bundle of nerves. I had no idea what had actually happened. All I knew

was that it involved Corinna and I needed to get to her as fast as possible

My mind went to the worst possible place and I thought that maybe she had been shot or stabbed or

something of that horrific nature.

The entire way there my husband held my hand while he drove. He continued to whisper reassuring

words into my ear but I didn’t want to hear any of it. I just needed to see that my sister was safe. That

was all I cared about at that given point in time.

When we pulled up to the location of where her shoot had been I spotted the ambulance with its

flashing lights and people gathered together nearby.

My heart immediately sank thinking that tragedy had hit.

She was dead.

Those three words echoed inside my mind as I rushed out of the car and made my way to the

ambulance. My husband was right belund him trying to calm me but nothing he said would work until I

saw my sister with her eyes open and breathing.

As I moved, I couldn’t stop my mind from racing with images of her laying there, blood around her

mouth, her nose, pooling around her head. If Ashton had hurt even one hair on her head, I would make

him pay.

Thankfully as soon as I reached the ambulance I saw her lying on the stretcher with an oxygen monitor

and blood pressure strap on her arm. I let go of the breath I had been holding and allowed myself to

relax for the first time since I heard the news. Relief flooded through my body making my muscles

weak.

The paramedic was asking her a series of questions which she was answering in a low tone of voice.

When her eyes lifted and found mine I saw the tears welling in them.

I hopped into the back of the ambulance without thinking and went right to her and wrapped my arms

around her shaking body. I could tell from her face that she was shaken by whatever had transpired.

“You’re here”

“Of course, I’m here.” Theld onto her tighter. “What happened?”

1 pulled away from her to get a better look at her face and saw that a few tears had fallen from her

eyes.

“Ashton”

“What did he do?”

She took a deep breath.

“We had a meeting yesterday about reaching some kind of settlement agreement but we couldn’t come

to one. He wanted more than half of what I have and I told him no. I told him that we both leave with

what we came in with but he doesn’t want to hear it. I guess he still needs to take care of Tabitha and

their baby and when I refused to give him the money he got mad and said that I would regret it.

“I came to my shoot today and when I came to my car to get the bag I had forgotten in it, I found it

smashed to pieces and a note that read that I needed to, ‘stay away from my man.”

I was going to kill him. In fact, I was going to kill both of them. I didn’t care if the woman was pregnant,

and so was 1. If 1 needed to go toe to toe with her then so be it.

“Are you okay?” My eyes perused over her body trying to check for any signs of injury but there was

none. “Do you be seen by a doctor?”

She shook her head. “I’m fine I just felt light headed but I’m okay now.”

need to

Iler tyes told me that she was anything but fine. I could see the fear in her eyes. She was spooked and

she had every reason to be. But this only boiled my blood even more. I had murder on my mind and

Ashton was my target.

He had crossed the line, sicking his pregnant baby mama on my sister was just a new level of low.

Where did he get the

nerve?

I was trying to keep myself calm for the sake of my baby. I was still in the very early days of pregnancy

and the last thing I needed was to stress myself out.

“Okay, we can take her home.” I said to the paramedic who looked less than pleased at my sister’s

decision to just go But she had been through enough and she didn’t need to be any more stressed than

she was right now.

home.

After one more look over her. I had my sister wrapped in her blanket with my arm over her shoulders

walking toward the car Damon walked behind us while he made some calls to some people in Vegas.

He didn’t need me to tell him that we were going to go full nuclear on his brother. And I believed it

would be best if he

handled it because if I did, Ashton would be six feet underground. That was how much I loathed the

man.

But just as we had made it into the car I saw the last person that I wanted to see.

Angela.

She was jogging in our direction looking like she was about to burst into tears.

“Damon drive,” he had just hung his phone up and turned to me looking confused, “I said drive,

please.”

But it was too late. The little witch had made her way to the driver’s side and was knocking on his

window. My poor sister was in the back out of it completely.

“Angela?” My husband rolled down the window. “What are you doing here?”

“Rina called me. She was so distraught and scared when the whole incident happened and I was all

the way downtown I got caught up in traffic. Thank goodness you guys made it here before me. How is

she?”

She didn’t even wait for a response, she went to the passenger’s side and pulled the back door open.

She took my sister into her arms and let out a heavy sigh of relief.

“Thank God you’re okay. I was worried sick about you, Rina.”

To my absolute shock, my sister wrapped her arms around Angela. I had to blink twice to make sure

that what I was seeing

was accurate.

They pulled away from each other and gave each other soft smiles.

“I’m sorry for bothering you. I know how busy you can get.”

“Oh, my girl, don’t even worry about it. I told you to call me whenever you needed me and I’m glad you

made use of my number.”

“Oh hold up, you called her?” I looked at my sister who nodded. “Why?”

“She’s my lawyer.”

“Since when?”

“Since I started using her firm for my divorce. I just thought that it would be easier. She will be handling

all of my contracts. to make sure that I’m protected.”

Somehow I found it hard to believe that you could have Angela and protected in the same sentence. I

bit down on my tongue to keep me from saying something out of pocket. My sister had been through

enough as it was today. There was no need for me to bring up the fact that Cruella De Vil was in the

car with us.

But as I stared at them making conversation I made a mental note to keep a closer eye on that woman.

She was slowly trying to embed herself into my life and I didn’t know if was trying to force a space there

for herself or if she wanted me out.

Whatever game she was up to, I would uncover it soon enough. And stop it in its tracks.
