I watched as Gavin growled a curse through the hallway, nearly shaking the entire building. I was shocked when he took off, my mouth agape.<\/p>\n
What the hell just happened?<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t sure how long I was standing like that for, but soon, Sammy, Tabby, Nan, and Irene were piling into the hallway, stumbling upon me. Irene was breathless as she looked around, recognizing the sounds of her father\u2019s pissed off roar.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere did he go?\u201d She asked, worry etched on her face. \u201cIs he okay??\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026 I don\u2019t know,\u201d I whispered, my body trembling slightly.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve been crying,\u201d Tabby said, touching my arm. \u201cDid he say or something to hurt you?\u201d<\/p>\n
All their attention was on me and I wasn\u2019t sure how to explain any of this to them.<\/p>\n
\u201cI told him that I saw Daisy last night\u2026 in his suite. He went off and left,\u201d I<\/p>\n
admitted, my tone coming out breathless.<\/p>\n
Irene narrowed her eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the hell are you talking about?\u201d She asked me.<\/p>\n
I looked at her.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour aunt Daisy. He was with her last night\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, they went out to dinner; it lasted like an hour,\u201d she said, rolling her eyes. \u201cMy aunt is relentless, but he managed to entertain her for that long.\u201d<\/p>\n
I furrowed my brows.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was in his suite last night, Irene. I saw her. I talked to her. She wore nothing but a bathrobe and said that Gavin was in the shower,\u201d I told her.<\/p>\n
Her eyes grew wide and suddenly, panic seemed to have struck her. She looked as if she was about to take off in the direction that her father went.<\/p>\n
\u201cIrene?\u201d I asked, trying to get her attention back; she looked as if she was about to have a panic attack.<\/p>\n
\u201cI knew she would pull something like this,\u201d she said through her teeth. \u201cI wanted him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWarned him?\u201d I asked. \u201cAbout what?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout my bitch of an aunt. I knew she would pull something like this,\u201d Irene hissed, anger flashing in her own eyes.<\/p>\n
Now, I was beyond confused, as were the others it seemed.<\/p>\n
Irene turned to look at me, trying to calm herself down.<\/p>\n
out<\/p>\n
\u201cMy father wasn\u2019t in the suite last night; at least not until super late,\u201d Irene said, shaking her head. \u201cHe was with Matt and me\u2026 we were for a while having family time. When we returned, we thought we smelled a different scent, but we were so tired we didn\u2019t really question it.\u201d<\/p>\n
My heart plummeted into my stomach as I stared at her, my eyes wide and my mouth agape.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d I asked, my voice coming out unfamiliar and hollow.<\/p>\n
\u201cDaisy broke into our suite last night and left before we got back,\u201d Irene growled.<\/p>\n
I let out a breath, my heart dropping even lower.<\/p>\n
\u201cHoly shit\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Gavin\u2019s POV<\/p>\n
Rage.noveldrama<\/p>\n
Nothing could compare to this feeling burning inside me right now. All I felt was pure rage and it was directed at Daisy Baldwin. I knew exactly where she was right, and I wasn\u2019t going to let her get away with this.<\/p>\n
She broke into my hotel suite, a place where I stayed with my children. She messed with Judy and made her pissed and hurt\u2026she crosse a major line and I wasn\u2019t going to let her get away with this shit.<\/p>\n
Her reign ends today, if it\u2019s the last thing I do.<\/p>\n
Daisy was seated at the bar with a couple of gentlemen on either side of her. In her normal Daisy fashion, she was flirting and twirling her hair, getting her to buy more drinks. Truth be told, I was surprised she didn\u2019t randomly show up at the ceremony knowing that I was going to be there. I figured if she wasn\u2019t at the ceremony, she was most likely at the bar.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome with me,\u201d I said without a single greeting.<\/p>\n
One of the guys turned around, looking as if he was about to fight me, but the look<\/p>\n
in my eyes was daring and dangerous. The second they registered who I was and that I was playing around, his face paled and he backed off immediately. The other guy did the same.<\/p>\n
Daisy stared at me, her eyes wide when she took in my pissed off appearance.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t give her a chance to question<\/p>\n
me, I grabbed her arm and yanked her off the bar stool, not caring if I hurt her or not. I was furious and she was on the receiving end of my rage. I dragged her out of the bar with<\/p>\n
onlookers wondering what<\/p>\n
was<\/p>\n
going on; whispers followed.<\/p>\n
Daisy was smart enough to not fight me and stumbled along after me. Once we were out of the bar, I dragged her towards a more secluded area, not needing an audience.<\/p>\n
I suddenly stopped and slammed her against the wall, careful not to touch her too much, but enough for her to not be able to go anywhere.<\/p>\n
