“You love her?”
That fell out.Stupid champagne.
“I mean—” I rub the back of my neck.
Tell her how you feel.”Emily grabs my arm.“You know she’s leaving, right?Don’t live with the regret of losing her if you truly love her.Work this out, Mase.”
Fuck.
I take Emily’s shoulders and stare her right in the eye.“Tell me the truth.Did she do it?”
She shakes her head vehemently.
“You swear on the life of your child?
“On my own life.Lexi would never steal and...shit...I am going to hell for this, but fuck it, if you knew what happened, Mase, you would be furious.I’ve seen you protecting her.”
My brows shoot up.
“Tell me.”
Sebastian walks over.I expected it.
“What’s going on?”
“Em.tell me.”
“Unhand my bride.”Sebastian insists.
“Em,” I tighten my fingers.
Sebastian can punch me if he likes, this is important.
Emily’s gaze flicks from mine to Sebastian.“She was set up.A guy who worked with her tried to assault her, and he set her up.It was him.Not her.But she hasn’t been able to prove her innocence.”
Motherfucker.
I drop my arms, shoot Sebastian a glance, then spin around searching for Lexi.
She was just...
“Her car might be here.”Emily says.
“What car?”
“She’s going straight to the airport tonight.”
I run.
