morning, he went onto the fields with all the workers he could find. With the tractors, they pulled all the dead crops from the soil and made room for the new dirt to be brought in. Time was of the essence so Blaise worked alongside everyone else, not taking a break even when everyone else did.
He still needed to talk to his uncle and strangle him but he didn’t have time for that either. When the workers finally left in the evening, he showered then grabbed his phone, ready to call Alexandra. Before he could dial, his phone lit up. It was Danielle. He debated answering it for a long time.
“What?” he snapped.
“He’s here,” she whispered.
His heart raced. “Evan?”
“Yeah,” she snapped. “Get down here. He keeps talking me. I’m scared…”
“Where are you? At home?”
“I’m at Rob’s.”
“Fuck,” he said. “I’m on my way.”
“Blaise?”
“What!”
“He said he heard rumors about you and that other girl. I told him we are still together but he thinks I’m lying.”
“I’m on my way.” He hung up then got into his truck as fast as he could. He sped through the country roads, making the dust fly through the air. Both hands gripped the wheel as he made it into town. He pulled into the parking lot and did a horrible job staying in the lines.
When he stormed inside, he didn’t pay attention to anyone around him. He just searched for Danielle, his heart pounding against his ribs. His hands automatically formed fists. It really got under his skin when men beat women. It made him insane. He bumped into a brunette as he moved through the room.
“Blaise?”
He ignored her and kept going. When he found Danielle in the corner, Evan blocking her in, he marched over.
“Get the fuck away from her.” Blaise stepped in front of Danielle, blocking her from view.
Evan stepped back and glared at him. “And here’s the watchdog to the rescue.”
“I’ll kill you,” Blaise snapped. “I don’t give a s hit if we’re in a public place.”
Evan smiled. “It’s good thing we’re in a room full of witnesses.”
“You think I care?”
“I think your cotton might.”
Blaise narrowed his eyes.
“I heard you’re with some new girl.” He stared him down. “Danielle seems to be unencumbered.”
“Danielle is my girlfriend. And whether she was or not, I would kill you if you touched her. Now back off.”
Evan st epped closer to Blaise, clearly unafraid. “I think you’re full of shit. And I’ll make that bitch pay for what she did to me. I couldn’t even take back the ring.”
“Get over it!” Blaise snapped. “You’re acting like a pathetic little girl.”
“I loved her!”
“That’s too fucking bad!” Blaise clenched his fists again.
“Now that you’re out of the picture, I’ll get her. And there won’t be any witnesses, believe me.”
“We are together,” Danielle said, grabbing his hand.
Blaise didn’t pull away even though his skin screamed in agony from touching her.
“Sure…”
Danielle moved next to Blaise, pressing her breasts against his stomach and her lips near his chin.
Blaise wanted to vomit. “Leave me and my girlfriend alone. If you don’t, I’ll come in the middle of night and slit your throat with a knife.”
“I’ll call your bluff, Cunnings. Maybe I’ll hurt someone you really care about, like that cute little new girl.”
Blaise wanted to break a bottle and stab the shards through his jugular vein. The threat against Alexandra made him want to explode. But he had to keep his cool. If Evan knew he was madly in love with her, it would only give him a reason t hurt her. “The only woman in my heart is Danielle.” He had to force the words out. He grabbed her face and kissed her. He held the embrace for a moment, trying not to gag, then pulled away. “You touch her, you’ll regret it.”
Evan eyed them. “You can’t watch her forever.”
Blaise pushed him back. “I’m sick of this. Let’s go outside.”
