Wild Nights With My Brother’s Ex-Best Friend novel Chapter 93

93 /194

ROMAN

It’s been hours with no news of Nikki and I’m just about losing my fucking mind.

I have everyone-and I mean everyone-searching for her.

There has to be someone with news on her. If I can get to her before my lawyer gets plan B in action, that’ll be ideal.

I don’t trust Carmen.

I trusted her to stay away from Nikki. I threatened them, for fuck’s sake. If she’s not afraid of getting into shit with her family’s partners, then what could she possibly be afraid of?

She knows I’m not bluffing. I sent her a copy of everything I have on her father’s ass.

Carmen’s a maniac, but her father? Why would he agree to something like this? Has he lost his mind? Do they really think that I’ll do everything they tell me to when I could ruin them with a snap of my fingers?

I take another swig of whiskey straight from the bottle. I tell myself this is my last drink because I can’t get drunk-I need to focus.

The sound of my phone ringing makes me practically jump.

It’s my lawyer.

“Everything’s done.”

“You’re sure? Fucking sure?”

“Yes. They’ve also found her. I’ll send you their location shortly.”

Relief washes over me. It worked. I knew it would, but there was always the fear that my plan woutd backfire and explode right in my face.

Sending all the information to Garith’s closest acquaintances was a risky move-in doing so, l blackmailed them into doing everything I wanted, and this wasn’t the initial plan. That one only involved Garith and my issues with him. No one else.

I’d hoped that Garith’s fear of keeping his friends ignorant of the fact that I knew their dirty secrets would make him give me back my freedom. I was wrong. Instead, he chose to fuck with me even harder, forcing my hand to do something that could definitely get him killed.

And me? Well, I’m in more danger now than I ever was before, but that’s not what matters.

Nikki is.

I couldn’t wait to submit these documents to the authorities and let them act-they’d take too long and every second that she’s away from me is agony.

I can’t leave her in Carmen and Garith’s clutches.I’ll deal with all the consequences later. For now, there’s only one thing on my mind.

The second I receive the location, I’m out the door.

Downstairs, there are four guards on standby just waiting to be given instructions. I make quick work of telling them exactly what will happen, and then we’re out.

In the car, I try to convince myself to calm the fuck down.

Things will be resolved. I need to stay alert in order for this to work out because anything could happen, and my mind is swimming with all these terrible worst-case scenarios that haunt me.

Hearned a long time ago that wealth doesn’t mean shit when you don’t have connections or protection, and in our world, protection is the one thing that’s indispensable.

That’s the only reason why I agreed to the madness that was marrying Carmen. Her family is well-connected. I’d avoid many problems by joining forces with them.
