Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle by Aurora Starling

Silver's POV

I was shocked when I watched Shirley hurl herself down the stairs. She landed with a loud thud on the granite floor, and I swear I heard a crack from the impact. Shirley cried out in pain, tears streaking down her cheeks and mascara smearing in the process.

I stood at the top of the stairwell, my mouth hanging open and my eyes wide. I never imagined that Shirley would actually throw herself down the stairs like that! What on earth was she thinking?

It didn't register with me what was happening until the crowd started to gather. They all asked what happened and how Shirley ended up on the ground crying like she was in a lot of pain. None of them noticed me at the top of the stairs until Elliot ran around the corner, shoving himself through the crowd, barking at them to step away from her.

Shirley was whimpering and crying as he knelt over her; I could see the look of concern and worry all over his face. He wiped the tears from her eyes, trying to move the damp strands of hair stuck to her features as she whimpered and trembled.

"Shirley, what happened?" He asked, her voice soothing and compassionate. It was a tone I had never heard him use before and despite the situation, a jealous knot formed in the pit of my stomach. I quickly shook that feeling away though because it was ridiculous. Shirley was hurt and I'm over here being jealous that Elliot is treating her compassionately.

I truly am deranged.

"I...I..." Shirley whimpered as more tears fell from her eyes. "I just wanted to... apologize... to... Silver," she cried, her bottom lip trembling. "And...she...she...." Shirley broke off, bawling her eyes out as she clung to Elliot's shirt. "She... pushed me...." she cried.

Gasping erupted around the foyer, and everyone looked at one another as the murmurs began.
