He raised his brows and she expected him to complain, and she hoped he would, just so she could tell his expensive ass to get the fuck out of her chair. But, she couldn’t do either, as he walked right over to her chair and sat down.
“I think it would be best to just have a tidy up,” he said. “You see the style. You know what I like.”
She held onto her scissors.
His father had given the order to hurt her mother. Dinah didn’t know exactly what he had done in the background, but the urge to plunge her scissors into his neck was so strong, she could almost taste it. By just being alive, she hated him.
Dinah counted to ten and got to work on his hair, even though there were several moments where she just wanted to kill him. Her mother was no longer alive, and she knew he and his father were to blame.
“How have you been, Dinah?” he asked.
The fact he said her name with a familiarity pissed her off.
“Don’t,” she said.
“Ah, so I see you now know who I am.”
She let go of his hair as she came close to holding it within a tight grip. There was no doubt in her mind, she hated this man and his father with every fiber of her being.
“You shouldn’t be here,” she said.
“Actually, this is a salon, and last time I checked, I can do whatever the hell I want.”
She gritted her teeth. Rather than risk ruining her reputation and going to jail for a man who was not worth it, she got to work. She did his hair, and didn’t once slip up or ruin the style. Once she was done, she pulled the apron from around his neck, and got to work cleaning up, as he went to pay.
“Dinah, walk me to my car,” Nikki said.
He had gained the attention of the whole salon, so she had no choice but to continue being polite. But at least it gave her the perfect opportunity to tell him to fuck off and give him back his money. She hated him.
Stepping out of the salon, Dinah couldn’t help but feel … bare. This was dangerous, of that, she had no doubt.
Nikki wasn’t parked in front along with everyone else, and she knew that was on purpose. He had done all of this to intimidate her. She wouldn’t back down. Not now, not fucking ever. Even as her heart raced and she felt that fear traveling up her spine, she refused to leave.
She followed him around the back, to where his car was parked, and there was no one waiting for him.
“Was that so hard?” he said, leaning against his car.
Dinah reached into her back pocket and knew he tensed up. “Do not come back here.” She slammed the money against his chest.
“What’s this?” he asked.
“You know what it is. I didn’t want it then, and I don’t want it now.”
He took the envelope and opened it. She had surprised him.
“That was meant to make your lives easier.”
She shook her head. “I don’t care what sick and twisted lies you tell yourself. I don’t want your money, and do not come back here again.”
“If you could kill me, would you?” Nikki asked.
Dinah spun around and glared at him. “What?”
“You heard me.”
“You know I would. You hurt my mother.”
“Actually, that is not entirely accurate. I didn’t give the order to hurt your mother. I know what my father did, and I do try where I can to make amends for his fuckups.”
