She gritted her teeth. “I don’t care. He has to pay for this!”
“And he will.” He put his hand on her cheek. “I’ll make sure of it. But calling him and yelling at him is not making him pay. It’s only going to upset you and urge him on knowing he’s getting to you.”
“Give me my phone.”
“Not until you calm down.”
She growled and reached out to shove him. With both hands on his chest, she pushed him as hard as she could. He didn’t budge. He didn’t even have to take a step back. He simply placed his other hand over hers.
She stopped trying to push him and sat hard on the bed. “What am I going to do? Nicholas didn’t believe me, I could tell.”
“I know. It won’t matter, though. I will take Jeremy out long before he has the chance to do anything to Opal.”
“Then what are you waiting for?”
“Timing.”
She blew out a hard breath and reached for the phone again. She managed to get it her hand on it and tugged, trying to pry his fingers off. “I—don’t—have—time.”
