Page 47 of Love on Ice

“Shaken. Is there something we can do to make sure he never comes back?” I ask her.

Issy shakes her head. “Other than being creepy, I don’t think he’s committed a crime.”

“Not yet. He’s deranged. I think he is going to try to blackmail her.”

“I’ll check in on her. Glad you were there to protect her. Thanks.”

“I’m glad I was, too.” But I hate that worry is gnawing away at me.

“Felix,” Issy calls my name pulling me from my thoughts, “I promise nothing is going to happen to her. She has a tight circle around her, as well as good security. Josh won’t get near her.” She tries to reassure me.

I don’t know, she didn’t see the crazed look in his eyes. I don’t trust that man for one moment. “I’m exhausted. I might head to my room,” I tell her.

“Of course. I’ll see you tomorrow. It’s good to have you home.”

I head into my room, pull out my phone, and send Harper a quick message. I just need to know she is okay.

Felix: I’m home now. Told Issy what happened, expect a call. Hope you’re okay.

Harper: Just had a missed call from her.

Harper: Please don’t worry about me, Felix. I’m not your problem.

Felix: You were never a problem.

Felix: You’re a friend.

Harper: I’m fine. Just had a shot of tequila. It made everything feel better.

Felix: I’m worried about him threatening you. What does he have on you?

There’s a long pause. Then the bubbles start bouncing on my screen.

Harper: Nudes.

Fuck!

Felix: You think he’s going to use that against you?

Harper: Maybe. I don’t know. But I have a friend working on getting them back.

Felix: They can do that?

Harper: Yeah.

Felix: Pretty powerful friend.

Harper: He is.

Felix: I’m still worried about you. What happens if he comes back and I’m not there to stop him?

Harper: I will handle him.

Harper: He’s not the first ex to threaten me.

Felix: Harper!

Harper: Fine. I have a friend who owns a security company. I’ll message him about upping my security.
