He was being ridiculously overprotective. Trying to force her not to take public transportation. Interfering with her job. Deciding what needed changing and improving in the house.
And he didn’t feel guilty about any of it. He wouldn’t go back and change anything.
As they parked in front of the house, he got out of the car and walked inside.
Victor disappeared upstairs to see Gracen while he headed into his study.
But he couldn’t settle.
Go around and see her.
No. He was supposed to be keeping his distance. Instead, he sent a text to Basilien.
His guys had been doing random drive-bys of her place. He’d just have them do one right now.
As he waited for a reply, he tried to do some work.
Frowning, he read Basilien’s reply twenty minutes later. She wasn’t home?
It was eleven. Where could she be? Getting up, he paced up and down his study.
He should have put a tracker on her. That way, he could always know where she was.
Not a bad idea.
Fuck. He wouldn’t be able to rest until he made sure that she was all right. After messaging Jose, he headed outside.
Regent was just going to go and make sure that she was all right.
There was nothing wrong with that. Right?

Where the fuck was she?
Okay. He knew he had no right to be angry that she wasn’t here. He sounded like a possessive asshole, even to him.
That’s because I am a possessive asshole.
She should be here, waiting for me.
Fuck.
He groaned to himself as he moved back to the car. Jose looked up at the house, then over at him. “What next, boss?”
“We wait.”
To his credit, Jose’s expression didn’t change. He simply nodded, then opened the back door. But as he did, a car turned the corner of the street. Jose quickly moved to cover him, his hand going to his gun.
“Get in, boss.”
Regent knew the drill.
His ego wasn’t so big that he couldn’t follow instructions for his safety. He’d never do anything to put Jose in danger by acting stupid.
But as the car came to a stop behind them, he paused. The back door opened and a seemingly drunk Jilly stumbled out.
“Thanks,” she said to the driver, who pulled away as soon as she shut the door.
