IT SEEMS THAT SUPERMODEL LINLEY LEWIS HAS FOUND HERSELF IN A BIT OF A PICKLE.OUR SOURCES SAY THAT SHE WAS ARRESTED THIS MORNING AFTER TRYING TO KILL A FORMER LOVER’S NEW GIRLFRIEND…
MODELING BEHAVIOR?
~Cali Tribune~
Supermodel Linley Lewis has been arrested and is being held in the LA County Jail.Witnesses say they watched as she was being handcuffed and escorted out of a spa in the downtown area, with blood splattered all over her.Our sources say that it involves High-Profile Attorney Lincoln Thorne and his new girlfriend.The happy couple has been seen all over LA recently…
The articles keep coming, as interest in Linley Lewis continues to trend on the media outlets.It makes me sick and I want nothing more than to have our PR team set the record straight, but I want to wait and focus on Everly and making sure she’s going to be okay.
Blaire has been blowing up my phone for the last hour, leaving long messages but I ignore them all.Right now, I can’t deal with anything other than Everly.She is my main focus and that is all I want to think about.
The door opens and a large man fills the doorway.He doesn’t have any hospital attire on and from the look on his face that is trained on me, he must be Everly’s dad, Tommy Bryant.
From what Everly has told me about her dad, it fits him to a ‘T’.He’s about my height but broader than a barn.He definitely fits the military man style with his short, almost buzz cut hair and not a wrinkle on his clothes.For a man of his age, he still looks like he works out hard every day; there’s not an inch of fat on him.Definitely not someone I’d want to go around with in the ring.
From what I remember Everly saying, Tommy Bryant does a lot of work for the government on a consultant level.She doesn’t even know all the things he does but it involves being a ghost on some jobs.He’ll go without contact for months at times.
“Imagine my surprise when I arrive at the hospital and find out from the nursing station that my daughter is out of surgery and being placed in recovery.”A knot loosens in my stomach when I hear that Everly is out of surgery.Thank God!
I go to stand to introduce myself, and Olivia follows suit putting her phone away.
“Also imagine said nurse saying that my daughter’s husband and attorney are waiting down the hall, if I’d like to alert them of her progress.”
“Mr.Bryant, I’m Lincoln Thorne, Everly’s boyfriend and this is Olivia Blackwater, my business partner and friend.”
“I know who you are; I’ve read all the articles on the way here.But the question is what are you doing here telling everyone that you’re married to my daughter?”He demands and it takes everything for me to stay polite and not pummel this man after the day I’ve had.
“I knew that they’d only give me updates on her if—” I start but I’m cut off.
“Mr.Bryant, I’m sure this is all a shock to you as it is for us.We just wanted to make sure she was doing okay and be here if they needed anything until you got here.”Olivia puts on her charm but I don’t think it’s penetrating this man.
He looks behind him, as two security guards are standing outside the waiting room.
“I think it’s best if you both leave.”
“I’m not going anywhere except to the room they place her in after the recovery room.”I force myself to keep my voice level, but am failing.Olivia tries to squeeze my bicep to rein me in but it’s not working.No one is going to keep me from my angel, especially her father.
“For all I know you were in on this attempted homicide and until Everly is awake and can make the choice, you aren’t going anywhere near my daughter.”Mr.Bryant looks over his shoulder and calls to the security.“Make sure these two aren’t allowed anywhere near my daughter’s room or else I’ll have your job and sue the shit out of this hospital.”
He leaves, going in the opposite direction of the nurses’ station and I imagine that he’s headed to the recovery rooms, where Everly is being kept.This is a fucking mess.Now I can’t even get updates on how she’s doing.
“We need you both to come with us,” the pudgy security guard says.
“Don’t make a scene, Lincoln, we’ll get this worked out,” Olivia tells me, and then gives me a push towards the exit, as she pulls her phone out and starts texting someone.
They lead us down the hall to the nurses’ station and from the evil looks we get, I’m sure Mr.Bryant chewed their asses out.We go down on the elevators and back to ground level, where the elderly lady at the help desk gave us our passes.
“This is as close as you can be unless you get on the approved visitor list,” the other security guard says as they strip us of our badges.
I throw myself in a chair and place my hands over my face, leaning on my thighs.
“I’ve got a friend who works on Everly’s floor.She’s coming in for her shift in an hour and will get you in to see her.”Olivia reads the message from her phone.
I perk up immediately.I swear, Olivia has connections in every corner of this state.
“Thank you,” I say then launch myself at her, giving her the biggest hug.Olivia isn’t one of those touchy-feely people so when she embraces me back, I know that she’s got my back when I need it.
Two hours and fifteen long minutes later Sam, Olivia’s nurse friend, is weaving me down the halls on Everly’s floor.She’s asked another nurse to distract Mr.Bryant outside the room to give me some time with her.
