“Get him out of here,” I demanded. “He’s not welcome at this event.”
Mick grabbed Alex by the arm, and he shrugged him off before smoothing down his rumpled tux. “No need for dramatics.” His eyes flashed towards mine with malice. “I’ll be glad to escort myself out.”
Mick followed him, and Ryland shrugged me off as he turned to watch. I wanted to ask him what that was about. I wanted to ask him if I was imagining things when I heard the threat in Alex’s words. Was he threatening me and the baby? I didn’t understand.
Matt and Nicole appeared at my side, and I moved to take a step towards Ryland. He held up his hand with a dark look in his eye. Exactly the one I was afraid of. He thought I’d betrayed him.
“Not now, Brighton.”
He glanced towards Matt. “Don’t leave her side for the rest of the night.”
And with that, he stalked from the room.
