Chapter 0014
ALEXANDER
I stepped forward, moving around Bailee as Caleb dropped the bag with a huff of anger. For several years, he had done everything he could to take down my company but had never grown the balls to address me directly, so I hadn’t bothered wasting my time and resources on him
Knowing he had been with, married, and had a daughter with Bailee just moved him to the top of my enemy list.
“What’s going on here?” I asked, keeping my
eyes on Caleb but speaking to Bailee
I didn’t trust him not to make a move if I turned my back to him, and I felt a weird tugging sensation in my chest at the thought of turning to face her and seeing her with a kid.
Her kid
I knew she wanted kids, but I had only found out about her actually having one a couple of hours ago. I hadn’t been given a Achance to come to terms with the fact that she had a kid with another man yet.
When I had demanded that Ben never mention Bailee to me again, it seemed that in doing so, he had kept it to himself that Bailee had married and had a child with the man trying to ruin my business.
I was the one who ended things and cut her from my life, so I knew I had no claim on her.
Bailee wasn’t mine and hadn’t been for years.
But God, the thought of her starting a family with another man made me feel sick.
“None of your business, Kingston. Get the fuck out of my house!” Caleb shouted over Bailee as she spoke softly behind me
“He’s accusing me of stealing, says he needs to search my bags.” She sighed, and I ground my molars together as Mason moved to grab said bags before whispering to her.
“Let’s head down to the car. I don’t think what’s about to be said is meant for little ears.”
I heard them moving behind me and the ding of the elevator opening.
I didn’t like that Mason was taking Ballee out of my sight when she already looked so shaken, but I knew it was the right choice when Caleb shouted as the elevator doors started closing.
“Have y
you been fucking him, too? You insecure, pathetic bitch! Just because I found someone else….
He didn’t get to finish his statement as my vision tinged red, fire burned in my veins, and I lunged
Grabbing the front of his shirt in both fists, I lifted him from the ground before slamming him onto the console table against the wall. The wood broke beneath him, a vase shattering next to us as it hit the polished tile.
Caleb groaned, his head falling back as I straddled him, my fists repeatedly connecting with his face.
“Stop it? A woman cried from behind him, but I couldn’t. “Get off of him!”
“Step back” Bash yelled, and for a brief moment, I thought he was talking to me.
Apaused with my fist cocked back, allowing the opening Caleb needed to slam his fist into my throat.
It was a weak hit. The damage I had already done showed in his pathetic swing. Still, the hit to my Adam’s Apple made my head snap back.
“The police are on their

their way!” The woman yelled again, and I threw one last hit. This time, using my elbow and smashing it
Caleb’s eyes stayed closed for several moments as he held his hands up to shield himself from my next blow.

Bash jumped in, grabbing my arm and pulling me off Caleb.
“Let’s go.” He insisted though I knew he wasn’t scared of the cops.
He just didn’t want the paparazzi to catch wind of us being here. We could cover this more easily without it being splattered all over the Internet and tabloids tomorrow morning.
“The next time you want to talk to Bailee, you do it through my lawyer,” I said as I stood, jerking my arm free from Bash and straightening my shirt.
