And me? Well, I'm completely fucked, and I know this meeting is going to end up making my people suffer.
Unless I keep Nate under control. And for that, I have to play nice. I have to be his very, very docile little wife. And maybe then I can protect the people I love.
"Wanna tell us why we've been waiting here for fucking hours while you and your girlfriend beat each other up?" Xi's
unimpressed tone is the same as I've always heard.
"Wife," Nate corrects instead of answering.
My eyes dart to Elliot, his already on me. I need him to stay calm. He can be volatile when his patience wears thin. Lucky for me, Jade is already wrapping a hand around his tense biceps, keeping him collected.
"I don't care," Xi answers. "Some of us have other shit to do."
"Pretty little Stoneview girls to see," I taunt him.
He straightens up in a split second, pointing a threatening finger at me as his face shuts down completely. "Mention her one more time and see what happens."
