Chapter 33 - Speak To Me

(Jamie)

I couldn't believe what the fuck I just heard. Cecelia is telling Gabriella that I slept with her..that was the breaking point for me..seeing the hurt on Gabriella's face..

I pulled away, my body filling with rage as I glanced toward Rylan.

"Stay with her." I snapped, I have never been so angry in my damn life.

I didn't even feel my feet moving as I strode through the apartment before that dumb bitch's blonde hair came into view. They were waiting for the elevator as Nolan kissed her cheek and was consoling her. He and I are going to have some more fucking words real soon.

Right when the elevator opened, I reached forward gripping Nolan's shirt before yanking him back and making him fall to the floor.

Then I grabbed Cecelia's arm, her eyes widening with fear the moment she saw me as I pulled her in.

"You fucking stay." I snapped at Nolan, his ass still on the floor as he looked up at us.

Yeah, he was scared shitless..he hasn't seen me this angry before and he knows he was in for it.

I know what Jolie was referring to earlier in the room with Nolan, and I agree with her 100%. He is probably using again.

I slammed my finger against the lobby button as the doors slowly closed.

"Nolan!" Cecelia whined just as the doors closed and that's when I fucking snapped.

I hit the emergency button, making the elevator stop as a man came onto the speaker.

"Emergency services, can I help you?" He asked and I looked straight into the camera in the corner.

"Turn the cameras off." I barked, hearing a slight pause before he spoke again.

"Yes, Mr. Sinclair."

Oh, did I forget to mention that I owned this building too?

"W..what..what are you going to do to me?" Cecelia stammered, making a smirk pull at my lips.

"What should I do to you Cecelia? For all the shit you have put Gabriella through...for the lies you spew about not only her but me as well.." My voice was low and dark, the chill that trembled through her let me know she was scared..good, she should be.

"Sh..she told you?" She whispered and this..this really pissed me off..obviously I didn't know the extent of what happened to Gabriella but it must've been bad if this was her reaction.

I reached my arm out, slamming my fist against the wall behind Cecelia as she let out a yelp before flinching.

"If you or anyone else in that fucked up family of yours tries to hurt Gabriella again, I swear to you Cecelia..I will fucking destroy you..I will take every single thing you have and make you live the type of life you deserve..busting tables at some club and giving out blow jobs just to get by..because truthfully if you didn't have your daddy's money, the only thing you would be known for is lying on your back." I hissed, making her tremble as I fought the urge to put my hands on her.

"And stay the fuck away from Nolan..we all know you don't fuck the same person twice unless you can get something out of it."

"Do I make myself clear?" I asked more calmly this time, making Cecelia nod her head up and down emphatically as tears fell from her eyes.

"Now, remember, what I said..and don't be afraid to relay this message to Regina and Katrina as well. You all have a lot to lose..and I'm guessing your father wouldn't hesitate to agree with me if he knew the full truth..now would he?" I said one last thing before pressing the elevator again and feeling it go down.

I watched as Cecelia scrambled off, the fear she felt obviously showing as she tripped in the lobby and some guy tried to help her.

"Get the fuck off of me!" She screamed and proceeded to run out of the door.

I rolled my shoulders, my finger hitting the top floor button as I typed in the code before slipping my hands into my pocket.

When it comes to Gabriella..I'm not messing around..I refuse to.

I watched as the doors opened and there stood Nolan, his eyes wide and full of panic as he looked into the elevator..then I saw the dilated pupils. Yeah, he is definitely high on something.

"Where is she?!" He rushed out and I just stepped forward before gripping his arm and dragging him with me.

"Parties over, get everyone out." I said cooly to one of the security guards that Rylan hired to make sure no one snuck in.

"Yes sir." The man responded before ushering people out.

That's when I went to the room where Gabriella was, dragging Nolan with me as he didn't even fight it.

The moment I opened the door, I felt someone crash into me before I pushed Nolan inside.

"Hey, are you okay?" My voice softened immediately while gazing down at Gabriella, her big doe eyes peering up at me as she nodded her head. I could see the tears just about to fall as I bent down and cupped her face.

"Hey, no princess..don't cry..I'm not upset with you..I can never be upset with you."

Fuck, seeing her like this was breaking my heart..

I kissed her lips and cheeks, trying to cheer her up as I felt her clinging to my waist.

"I fucking knew it..your high aren't you?!" Rylan suddenly boomed while looking his brother over.

"How is that your concern?" Nolan suddenly quipped, making Rylan's jaw drop as he let out a bewildered laugh.

"Seriously? You promised Nol! You said you would stop this shit after the last time. It's that fucking girl isn't it.." Rylan said before pointing at him.

"Ry..calm down..you know yelling makes him shut down." Jolie suddenly stated while placing her hand on Rylan's arm.

Nolan got into some pretty heavy drugs when he turned 20, he started partying every night and almost overdosed after going on a bender.

It was horrible..he went to rehab after that and has been clean until now I guess..he drinks occasionally but the drug use stopped.

I saw Gabriella look towards Nolan, sadness filling her eyes as Rylan and Nolan had some type of stare-off.

"That's enough, Nolan, you aren't seeing her again and this shit stops now." I stated firmly...Nolan was like a little brother to me, and I know he saw me as the same..we are close..we all are.

"Starting Monday you are coming to work with me." I declared, leaving no room for argument as Nolan nodded once before turning and leaving the room, letting the door slam on the way out.

"Fuck..I knew something was up..I fucking knew it.." Rylan sighed before sitting on the couch and rubbing his hands up and down his face.

"Hey, don't worry okay? We caught it early..we won't let him get to that place again." I reassured my friend, making him nod his head once before glancing down at Gabriella.

"Sorry for ruining your first pool party Gabs." He said with a lopsided grin.

Gabriella turned in my arms, releasing my waist as I now latched onto hers as I watched her hands moving smoothly.

Suddenly Rylan burst into laughter, making me frown as I glanced between them.

"What did she say?" Jolie asked before I even could.

"She said maybe next time we can just see a movie, seems like there will be less of a chance for drama, but if there is at least they will have popcorn." Rylan explained, making me smile down at Gabriella before laughing.

She seemed embarrassed that all the attention was on her and I couldn't help but smother her neck and cheeks with kisses.

Not only is she cute..but she's funny too..

"Well, the party doesn't have to stop here! We still have loads of food, drinks, and pretty girls." Rylan announced before opening the door and was ready to join everyone else..only..I already sent them all home..whoops.

"Seriously dude? What the fuck!! Even the DJ?" Rylan pouted, making Gabriella stifle a giggle before Jolie walked out.

"Looks like you're stuck with us!" She smiled brightly as Rylan proceeded to groan even louder, earning a smack across the back of the head from Jolie.

"Well, what do you want to do baby? Do you want to go home?" I asked Gabriella as she looked between all of us and without warning she took off running, heading straight for the pool as I watched in shock as she jumped in, causing a big splash.

"That's my kind of girl." Rylan beamed, making me frown as he went to run after her, but I quickly shoved him aside, no way in hell am I letting him go in next.

I ran to the pool after her, my heart racing as I saw her beautiful smile and I quickly jumped in..my arms looping around her waist as I kissed her deeply.

Yeah, I fucking love her..and I won't let anyone hurt her again..Gabriella is about to be my wife and no one messes with my girl..
