Cross rolled her eyes,
“Fuck that bitch. Get rid of ‘er, 'cause if I catch her sniffin’ around our boys one more time, I’ll knock her ass out cold.”
I paused,
“come again? Sniffing around how? Cause I haven’t even spoken to her since she came here. She’s been acting busy so why would she be around here?”
Cross sat on the stool as I slid up on the counter.
“apparently, she sent Bubba a nude from an anonymous number. He didn’ actually see it, he asked me to check his phone when we were doing some recon. I asked him if he was messin’ aroun’ on ya and I tol’ him about the picture describing her facial features. Bet ya she hasn’ talked to ya because I tol’ er’ I was gon’ inform you about it.”
My blood was boiling at this point. I wasn’t even sure if I was seeing straight as I jumped off the counter grabbing Carson’s keys when I reached the foyer ready to beat Cassie’s ass like her momma never beat her before. I was going to show her that the woman who birthed her had done her a disservice by not giving her an ass whooping like she deserved but today, oh boy, this little bitch was going to get it. She sentMYman a nude. All while, ignoring my messages and acting busy as fuck? I heard some commotion behind me as I made it outside. As I pressed the fob for Carson’s truck, I felt a hand wrap around my waist.
“Let go!” I yelled.
I didn’t even register whose arm was around me. Then his voice made the fog disappear,
“darlin’… Baby,” Carson said to me. That shocked me more than what Cross told me. I slowly turned around in his arms as my heart thundered in my chest. When I craned my neck up at him, he was smiling, “You goin’ somewhere?”
I nodded.
“Yes. I don’t appreciate my so-called friend sending you unsolicited pictures. You know I don’t fucking play when it comes to you. Hell, she knows that. I’m not in the mood to hear you say some shit like you’re uncomfortable with my statement. I’m not taking it back.” I boldly said to him.
All Carson did was smile wider; he shook his head.
“I wasn’ gon’ say all that,” he said. “What I was gon’ say was I’m drivin’.” He winked at me as he took the fob from me and led me towards his truck.
I hopped in his truck and I saw both Cross and Beau sitting in the back seats.
Cross shrugged,
“What? Maybe, you need back up?” She winked at me causing me to smile.
I narrowed my eyes at Beau next. He shrugged too,
“I never miss a good ass-whooping'. Never.” He said.
I chuckled. Carson got in, started the car and drove off in the direction that I was dictating to him.

I didn’t have to ask Katerina where we were headed. She was already putting an address on my phone. I followed the GPS excited as ever. I guess I was supposed to feel bad about Cassie getting her ass handed to her but oh boy was I giddy. Nothing could ruin my day now.
When I looked at where we arrived, my eyes widened. It was a law firm. I didn’t say anything as I parked the car. Katerina got out of the car and I followed not even bothering to wait for Beau and Cross. By the time, I reached the door to get into the firm, I heard screaming. My eyes widened, I walked faster to see and make sure all the action was going to be engraved in my mind. I passed the receptionist who seemed to stare down at the phone and then look back at the commotion going on in one of the offices. When she spotted me, she froze.
“Don’t you worry, sweetheart. Call the cops or rather an ambulance. She might need it but let’s wait, about, uh… ten minutes?”
She blinked but didn’t respond. I shrugged my shoulders as I made it to the narrow hall then I took a left. I didn’t even have to open the door because Cassie’s ass-whooping was on full display for everyone. I watched in amazement as my little wife hopped on Cassie’s desk, lunged at her and dragged her from her desk chair in front of a whole client by her hair. Cassie was screaming Katerina’s name trying to remove herself from that deathly grip. I leaned on the doorframe for support as I enjoyed the show. Katerina didn’t say a word as she threw Cassie on the floor. I knew what she was doing, and this was going to be fun. She moved back a bit letting Cassie get up, as soon as Cassie stood, Katerina slapped the shit out of Cassie. I flinched as if I was the one she did it to.
The client was smart to stand from the chair that he was sitting in. He went in as if to help and then I moved in. “Either take your ass home or sit the fuck back down,” I said.
He gasped as if now realizing that I was here. He took a good look at me and he raised his hands as if to show that he was not part of this. I sharply nodded at him as I saw a blur of blonde run behind me. Katerina growled,
“I know this bitch did not just go hiding behind my husband!” Katerina screamed. “What have I ever done to you, Cassie? I’ve been a good friend to you. I never did you dirty, but you really wanted what was mine? If you think I won’t beat his ass to get to you then you’re wrong.”
I cocked a brow at her. She was going to beat whose ass…Not mine. I smirked; I would let her have her moment. This wasn’t about me at all. I didn’t even hesitate as I moved when she charged. She was serious about going through me.
