The lights changed and I drove forward, debating what to actually say to him. I didn’t want to sugar coat it but, at the same time, I didn’t want him knowing mine and Kay’s business.

His past made him able to connect with Kay and understand her in a way that I was afraid I never would.

I scrubbed my hand down my face and blew out a frustrated breath.

“It’s too much,” I started. “I don’t know what’s going on with Kitty, some shit went down last night and I came home to Kay locked in her room.”

“The fuck?” I heard his car start in the background. “She okay?”

“Kitty? Fuck knows. I ain’t seen her since I told her to get out of my house.”

“No,” he growled. “Kay?”

“Fuck!” I turned onto the road that led to the compound. “She’s still in her room. She barricaded herself in.”

“Shit,” Luke said under his breath. “This ain’t good.”

“Your fuckin’ tellin’ me.” I pressed the button to open the gates and drove on through. “We need to get together as a whole team and sort all this shit out.”

“Yeah, Boss. I’m on my way.”

I pressed the end call button as I parked my truck, then jumped down and heard a car pull up to the gates as I was about to go into the warehouse. Moving closer so I could see who it was, I groaned. I recognized that car.

I looked over at the house, hoping that Kay was still in her room because she didn’t need to see this.

I stomped to the gate, my hands clenched into fists at my sides. What the hell did she think she was doing here?

“What the fuck are you doin’ here, Serena?” I growled.

“Ah, Ty Ty.” She smiled, walking closer to the gates and wrapping her hands around the bars. “You gonna let me in?”

“Hell to the fuckin’ no.” Stepping back, I crossed my arms over my chest and watched her.

“It’s important,” she cooed, fluttering her eyelashes at me.

“Yeah? You have my divorce papers signed?” I raised a brow.

“Ah, don’t be like that, Ty Ty.” She scowled, but schooled her features quickly. Any other person wouldn’t have seen it. Me? I saw that shit and I hated it.

She was dressed impeccably; suit dress and jacket to match with shoes so high that I wondered how she could even walk on the things. She pouted, probably thinking that would work on me like it used to.

She was wrong, I was immune to that now. Looking back, I couldn’t believe I’d fell for all that fake bullshit. I was a complete sucker. Now my eyes were open to her and all of her persuasive ways. There was no way that I’d be falling for any of that. Not this time.

“You ain’t stepping foot on my property,” I gritted out.

“Well, technically, it’s half mine.” She smirked. I clenched my jaw, trying my hardest not to say anything.

When she saw that I wasn’t going to respond to her, she stomped her foot and leaned back. “Why are you doing this!” she screeched, gripping her hair.

That was the Serena I remembered, the one who had no patience and always wanted things to go her way. Hearing the crunch of gravel behind me, I turned and watched as Evan and Kitty came to stand either side of me.

“Go away, Serena,” Evan huffed.

“Ah, Evan! Tell Ty to let me in. I have some really important information.”

“Yeah?” Kitty asked, stepping forward. “And what would that be? Huh?”

“It’s about Daley,” she said, looking over at me.
