Ruined: Loving An Alpha Male(116)

“Because I can. I’m capable of doing it, and I want to help her,” I said simply.

“Do you want to fuck her too?” she replied.

“What the fuck did you just say to me?” I asked her.

“Oh please, don’t think I’m stupid. I saw the way you looked at her the whole weekend, and how she looked at you. Ha, and don’t think I didn’t miss the little pet name you called her. I don’t know who you think you’re fooling, but if you think for a second I’m going to stand by while she becomes your whore…”

My emotions got the best of me, and I swerved onto the emergency lane. Not caring who was behind me, I came to a complete stop. I turned my body slightly to face her wide-eyed expression. “Let me tell you something, and I’m only going to say this once. Don’t you ever in your life call her a whore. You don’t know anything about her, and she is far from that. Secondly, I will do whatever I fucking choose to do. If I want to help a friend in need, then so be it. I don’t care if she’s an ex or not.”

I noticed she backed away from me slightly, but she was quiet. She was looking into my eyes, as the cars zoomed past.

Finally, she said, “I don’t know how you want me to feel right now, Mason. Here is this woman that clearly you have a history with that I know nothing of. You refuse to tell me what I need to know.”

“You don’t need to know.”

“How can you say that?”

“Easy. It’s what we agreed on, right? I don’t ask you about your past; you don’t ask me about mine.”

“Yeah, well, my past hasn’t stuck its perfect little tits in your face now has it?”

She folded her arms and frowned.

I leaned in slightly.

“No, but I have to see his pencil little dick ass Monday through Friday when I go to work, now don’t I?”

She turned pale, and her mouth opened in shock. She tried to recover, but she didn’t do it quick enough.

“What do you mean by that?”

The force and bluster in her voice was no longer there. I could hear her voice quiver, ever so slightly.

“Oh come on, sweetheart. You think I don’t know about you and my brother-in-law? The fact that you two used to meet up twice a week during lunch hours isn’t a huge secret.”

“I did no such thing, and I can’t believe you would say something so cruel.”

“Really? Diane, you know I was wondering all that time ago why my brother-in-law kept trying to push a merger with my company and your father. They tried to make it a personal thing with me when I said ‘no,’ but in actuality it was a personal thing all along.”

Diane kept her arms folded, but she wouldn’t look at me. I grinned and peeled back out on the highway.

I added, because I know exactly what she was thinking, “And yes, I have proof; and no, Rick doesn’t know. Neither does my sister. So don’t make it seem like your past is squeaky clean, and I don’t have to deal with your shit. Because I do. Again, don’t ask me about mine; and I won’t ask you about yours.”

She didn’t reply, and I continued driving. I didn’t really have to tell her that I knew about her and my brother-in-law. This here is a business arrangement that she and I have. But I know that this arrangement is going to have to change. It’s no longer going to work for me. But for right now, I need to take one step at a time.

I decided to give Max space. I wanted to call her so bad, and I wanted to see her even more. My body got one taste of her, and she’s been all I’ve thought about since then. I needed to stay professional, so I made sure to not get close to her. For two weeks, I watched her from afar. On the weekdays, Roland and his team watched her every movement as well as her daddy. The man was so fucking predictable. Anyone would be able to take him out without any effort.

My talents and energy were used within my company. I was making moves and decisions that my brother didn’t like. But he knew it had to be done, especially when I showed him why I was making the decision. Diane and I have been dating for over a year. During that time, her father has been trying to get the inside scoop on me again through her. What he didn’t realize is I wasn’t that naive boy that I was when he tried it the first time. I had no doubt that Diane wanted to marry me. We were the perfect power couple. The problem was I couldn’t trust her.

I knew no matter what, she would stay loyal to her father. Her father and my dad were trying to save money to branch off and take my clients with them. So I’ve taken steps to protect myself from this little coup. I’ve actually been planning this for a few months, and I wondered if I should follow suit. I wanted to know how loyal Diane would be when I cut ties. But finding out about the relationship she had with my brother-in-law and how long it lasted, I didn’t think she was capable of loyalty.
