Chapter 40: GIDEON

I asked my parents to come sit with Ashley, there's no way I'd leave her on her own, not even with topnotch security in place. I had to let my father in on a little of what was going on. To say he was displeased would be a great understatement. Not only because of the horror that I shared with him, but because this was his daughter-in-law.

If there's one thing you can be sure of with us Thorpe men, it's the fact that we hold our women in the highest regard, we don't take any slight or infraction against them lightly.

Mom was kept in the dark, all she knew was that I had something of great importance to attend to and didn't want to leave my young injured wife unattended. I had no idea how long my little chat with the asshole would take but I wanted to give myself as much leeway as possible. This way I was sure that Blossom would be in good hands.

Mom was all excited to be spending time with her new daughter seeing as how I'd been hogging her this whole time her words not mine.
