Chapter 102

JACE POV

I‘m on the phone as soon as Ella is passed out. I need answers and Kingsly still hasn‘t given us any.

We should have had the results from the lab yesterday afternoon but some bullshit story

about the lab being backed up

has put a delay on the results. I‘m sorry, but I need answers now. Ethan is paying good money for

all of these services and friend or not, Kingsly needs to step up his game because we are not seeing

results.

After three rings, the other line is answered, “Kingsly, tell me you have something.”

The Pl chuckles, “Are you

psychic? I literally just got off the phone with the lab. They are faxing me over the results as we

speak, so if you can keep your panties on, I can tell you what they are in just a moment.”

“Yeah, sure. Look man, I‘m sorry, but Ella is my world and I want these

bastards behind bars.” I run my hand through my hair as I pace across

the living room, “Waiting on the results has been a bit stressful.”

“I understand. Ah, here we go. Hm, that‘s weird.” Kingsly states.

“What is it?” I‘m getting anxious now.

“Well, it‘s just that this name never came up on the lists that you and Ella wrote out.”

Who is it?”

“Do you know a Cynthia Titan?” He asks, and the name doesn’t sound familiar, “It says here that she is

the widow of a John Titan who owned a car dealership in the town you‘re from.”

Titan, Titan, Titan, the last name sounds a bit familiar

maybe, “I‘m just not coming up with anything, but I will start digging to see what I can find.”

“What do you want me to do, bring her in or follow her and see if

she will lead me to him first?‘ Kingsly asks.

“What do you suggest? Do you think she will talk if you bring her in?”

“Honestly, if she cares enough for this guy to commit assault with a deadly weapon, it

will be doubtful. I‘d rather follow her first, but if I feel like she may be on to me and she‘s

about to run, I will nab her.”

“Okay, do what you got to do, and thank you.” | respond.

“Just doing my job. Hang in there Jace, we are getting closer.”

Thang up with him and then go straight to my laptop to try and find this woman who dares to hurt

what‘s mine. I‘ve just typed in both John and Cynthia Titan when my phone rings and I see that

it‘s Jude.

“Hey buddy, what‘s up?” | answer.

“Little D! Just wanted to give you a heads up that Beth and I are coming to visit. We will be there in two

days. I wanted to come tonight, but they are short at the facility. We have been training a new guy

since you left, and he will be good to go

starting the day after tomorrow.”

“That’s awesome! I can’t wait to see you. Did you find a hotel, or do you need a place to stay?“||

“Nah, I found an apartment to rent that is specialized for our kind of lifestyle, if you know what I mean,

and we will be staying there. It‘s like five minutes from your place.”

I chuckle, “I never realized that you could rent that type of place.”

“It‘s all about who you know, Little D.”

“Will you be bringing your toy?”

“We talked about it, but then I figured with her being the asshole‘s sister, Ella probably wouldn‘t like it to

o much and she‘s been through enough.”

Jude thinking about Ella‘s feelings really makes me happy to call him my friend, “Thanks man, I‘m sure

she will appreciate it, even though she would never say anything if you were to bring her.”

“I know, and don‘t you dare fucking say a word about me thinking of other people‘s feelings!”

Tlaugh out loud, “Boy Scouts honor!”

“Fuck, you‘ve never been to Boy Scouts a day in your life!” He snickers.

“So, I can still live by their code, can‘t i?”

“Whatever man, but hey, I better let you go. I want a quickie

before heading to work. I will call you in a day or so.”

| shake my head, “Yeah, yeah, go! Tell Beth I said hi.”

“Will do, Little D.”

After hanging up the phone, I glance at the time and see that I should probably put something together

for supper before I have to get ready for work. I’ll be taking Ella with me tonight and

it‘s the first time she will be going

anywhere without a bandage on her face. I want to make sure she is in the right

state of mind before we go. The cut really doesn‘t look all that bad,

and I think it will heal up well, but of course, Ella has

different thoughts about it. I will make sure that she is feeling sexy as fuck, regardless of her face.

Ella comes out of the room as I‘m at the stove stirring the sauce for the pasta that I‘m making. She foun

d the see through robe that I had placed on the bed for her, and like the good

girl that she is, she put it on. Although, her naughty side is showing a bit as she struts around with the r

obe wide open. My dick is now instantly hard.

I turn around and lean against the counter, crossing one foot over the other and crossing my arms over

my chest as I watch her prance around as if nothing is wrong. A small grin plays across my lips as she

pretends to go about her business. When she finally stops and looks my way, I see

the slight humor in her eyes and can tell that she‘s trying hard not to

smile.

“What? Do I have something on my face?” She plays innocent.

ULLU

I shake my head slowly, “No, but you will if you continue

what you‘re doing. If you don‘t stop, I will push you to your knees and jerk off all over the beautiful face

of yours.”

She flinches at my comment, but it‘s not the coming on her face that causes it, and it makes me

scowl. Going to Dom mode, I crook my finger at her, “Come here, Precious.”

Once she‘s standing in front of me, I take her chin gently, as to not hurt her wound, and I bring my face

right into hers, “Is there a

reason that you‘are so against having a scar? Is there someone else that you are wanting to look pretty

for?” I know there isn‘t, she‘s one hundred percent faithful and in love with me, but I‘m trying somethin

g.

Her eyes widen, “Of course not, Sir! I love you!”

“Well, do you realize that every time you say a negative comment about your wound or flinch when I tell

so precious to me, and you putting yourself down has an effect on me.”

“I‘m sorry, Jace. I never realized… I never thought of it that way.” She sounds contrite.

“Do you trust me, Ella?”

“Yes….”

“Does Precious trust me?”

“Yes…” she whispers once more.

“Well then, please trust me when I say that you are beautiful and that your wound does not take away

any of that beauty.”

2.Getting Some Answers

“I will try. It‘s just really hard.”

“Hm, I‘m going to try and help; I have a gift for you.”

Her face lights up, “You do!”

“Uh huh, how about we eat and then shower. Afterwards, I will give you your gift and we will get ready

together.”

Her brows furrow together, “Get ready for what?”

“I have to work tonight, and I‘m taking you with me.”

“Jace, I rather…”

All I do is raise my brow at her and she changes her tune.

“Okay, Sir.”

Kissing her forehead, I shoo her towards the cupboard with the plates, “How about you set our places

as I finish this up.” She nods and grabs the plates, “And Ella,” she looks back at me, “Since you feel the

to eat.” | grin while I wink at her, and to my surprise, she smiles back and drops her robe.
