raised his hands in the air. “Someone call the cops.”
“You fucking pussy!” Blaise said.
Evan looked at Danielle one more time before he left the bar.
Blaise sighed in relief when he was gone.
Danielle came into his arms and started crying. He held her to his chest, rubbing her back. Even though he had no resp ect for her, he hated seeing how scared she was. She didn’t deserve to be treated that way. It was unfair that she had to live in fear all the time. “It’s okay. You’re safe now.”
“Thank you so much,” she said through her tears. “I don’t know what I would be without you.”
“It’s alright,” he said gently. He rubbed her back and held her in his arms. The crowd started to disperse now that the confrontation was over. He pulled away and looked at her. “Call me if he bothers you again. I may have to kill him though.”
“I would love that,” she said as she wiped he tears away.
He sighed. “Do you want me to take you home? I have somewhere I need to be.”
She nodded then grabbed his hand.
Since she was so shaken up, he didn’t pull away. “Let’s go.”
When he turned toward the door, he saw Alexandra standing there, tears streaming down her face. Lisa and Hannah were standing beside her, looking vicious. Lisa’s eyes were bright with raging flames. Hannah looked like she would push him down an elevator shaft. But Alexandra had the most painful look. She turned from the bar and ran.
Chapter Sixteen
Alexandra had never been in so much pain in her life. But she also felt incredibly stupid. How could she ever think that Blaise might be telling the truth? She was filled with self-loathing. When it came to important decisions, she always chose the wrong one. Blaise was the biggest mistake of all. She had horrible judgment of people. Perhaps that was why her patient had died.
She wiped her tears away as she ran to her truck. With shaky hands, she put the keys in the lock and turned it.
“Alexandra!”
His voice made her hasten.
“STOP!”
She opened the door but he slammed it closed.
“It’s not what you think!”
Alexandra took a deep breath and stilled the tears coming down her face. “Blaise, get away from me.”
“No, let me explain.”
Alexandra was tired of hearing people’s excuses for their actions. Gabe claimed he was sorry for what he did, but he was just sorry that he’d been unsuccessful and gotten his ass beat. Blaise was the same way. “NO! Fuck you, Blaise. Get the hell away from me. I don’t care what excuse you have. I don’t care what you have to say. I mean it.”
“Danielle isn’t my girlfriend. It’s a long story. I’ll tell you everything. Just listen.”
She gripped her scalp. “I’ve never been this upset in my life.” She took a deep breath. “I don’t want to listen to you.” Her voice was high and hysterical, her emotion and desperation escaping her lips. She hated how she was acting. “Please leave me alone. You and I both belong elsewhere.” She opened the door but he slammed it closed again.
“No, you will listen to me.” He grabbed her arms and pinned her to the door.
“Don’t touch me!”
He moved his hands to the door. “Alexandra—”
She moved under his arm and escaped to the sidewalk. “Your lies may work on your other girls but they don’t work on me. Just drop it.” She ran down the sidewalk but he chased after her.
“I’m not letting you get away.”
She sprinted into the crowd and ran for her life. She wasn’t sure where she was going but she had to get away from him. People glanced at her with worried expressions as she passed. When she thought she would get away, Blaise cut her off. He dragged her between two buildings and pinned her to the wall.
“Let me go!”
He held her firmly. “I’ll release you when you calm down.”
She squirmed under his grasp.
“I have all day.”
When she tried to knee him, he pushed his body against her.
The sensation was too similar. The
