“Zeke, don’t be stupid now. Let her go,” I seethed.

He smirked at me and pushed Lilah off him. As I took a step to get her, he grabbed me.

“If you wanted me to grab you, all you had to do was ask,” he mocked in my ear.

Before I had a chance to tell him to let me go or he’d regret it, someone else did it.

“Let. Her. Go,” Ren said through gritted teeth.

He was standing a few feet away from us, one of his hands behind his back. I might have thought he looked at me with hate before, but it was nothing compared to the look he was giving Zeke right now.

“Who the fuck are you?” Zeke mocked.

So far, Ren didn’t dress like my other bodyguards with a black suit and the diamond pin all our workers wore. It was a symbol showing who they served. He wore his boots, with jeans and a leather jacket.

“Let me go, Zeke, before you get hurt,” I said in a bored tone since I wasn’t afraid.

Zeke, however, didn’t let me go. Instead, he smirked at Ren.

“Listen, I’ll give you five hundred bucks. Take it and buy yourself something nice.”

Ren laughed. He then took his arm from behind his back and pulled a Glock and aimed it at Zeke’s face. I bit my lip to stop myself from grinning. Finally, a guard that wasn’t a pussy.

“How about if I shoot you, then you can take your money and shove it in the hole to try and stop the bleeding?”

Zeke might not have shown it, but I felt the moment his body went still against me.

“You’ll end up in jail,” he said with fake confidence.

Ren gave a wicked grin. “You want to find out?”

I rolled my eyes at both men trying to prove each had a bigger dick than the other. Having guards all my life and an absentee father showed me that I needed to learn to take care of myself. Bringing my heel down to one of Zeke’s Hermès loafers, I dug in until he howled with pain. Then I pulled my elbow back with force until it hit him in the ribs.

I stepped out of Zeke’s embrace, and Ren was already grabbing on to my wrist, pulling me away. Lilah kept pace with us.

I turned around. “Maybe next time you should bring your guards! You’re a pussy who can’t take care of himself!”

Zeke glared at me.

“Shut up,” Ren growled. “I had to run around all over town because Daddy’s little diamond went missing.”

I tried to pull my hand from his hold, but I think the only way I would get out of his grasp was when he wanted to let go or break my wrist. Since I was fond of my bones not being broken, I decided to let him be—for now.

Ren had the Maybach with the hazard lights at the entrance to the harbor.

“Get in the car now.” Ren all but shoved me in. “Who the fuck are you?” He turned to Lilah, finally taking notice of her.

“She’s with me,” I said from inside the car, arching a brow when he turned to look at me.

“She can find her way back home.”

“Contrary to what people think, these boots are not made for walking.” Lilah pointed to her thigh-high Louboutins

“She lives in our building,” I said.

Ren stepped aside so Lilah could get in. Once she was seated, he slammed the door, making us both flinch.

“He’s angry,” Lilah whispered.
