I let out an angered breath. I couldn’t be that surprised that Jaxon had called Antonio and the mafia men as soon as I had left. But it still made me furious.
He knew this was why I had left and what I was partly upset about, and yet he still went about things his own way. He looked so relieved to see me and genuine in his hurt and concern. But as he started to move toward me, I backed away. I turned away from him and toward the stairs.
I picked up my clutch and my phone, which were on the floor in the hallway, as I moved. I went into my bedroom and back into the bathroom. I locked the door quickly and sat down on the floor, leaning against the cool wall. I was cold, but it still felt nice to be in this safe space.
