My Bully’s Love by Stacy Rush

CHAPTER 35: COMING CLEAN

Waiting out in the lounge at my father’s law firm, I struggle to sit still. I’m so nervous about how my dad is going to react about the video. I know Jace and I are both adults, but come on, what parent wants to hear a guy call their daughter a whore, and other dirty things as he is about to have sex with her? Yep, this isn’t going to be pretty at all.

Jace keeps placing his hand on my thigh to keep it from bouncing up and down as we wait for my dad to finish with his current client. My dad has a full schedule today, but he told me that we could come in and talk while he ate his lunch in his office, so here we sit. I swear, sitting here, waiting, is straining on my nerves, but I’m glad that I have Jace with me. l’ m not sure anymore on whether I’m worried about my dad being disappointed in me or blowing up at Jace. I just hope that we can all come out of this on speaking terms with our parents.

“You need to calm down, Ella.” Jace whispers to me.

I stare at him, dumbfounded, “Does this not worry you at all? My dad is about to see you defile his little girl after you’ve degraded her, Jace,” I keep my voice low so that Corrine, my dad’s receptionist, doesn’t hear me, “He’s not going to take that too well!”

He shrugs, “There isn’t much that we can do about it, Ella. It’s not like he can forbid you to see me, because you are an adult.”

I look at the guy who I truly believe that I have fallen in love with, and I cover his hand on my thigh with my own, “I just don’t want him to hate you, Jace. I don’t think I would be able to handle that, and I can’t choose between you and my parents.”

He cups my face and looks me straight in the eye, “Both your parents and I would never make you choose. Your parents love you and only want to see you happy, so as long as they know you are happy, then they won’t make you choose. Granted, they are going to be pissed, well, your dad will be, anyway, but hopefully he won’t say anything about the video to your mom.”

“I’ll make him promise me that he won’t,” I state firmly, “Besides, it will be breaking client confidentiality, so he can’t.”

My dad’s door to his office opens and a man in an expensive suit comes walking out with my father. They are still chatting quietly, but I barely make out something about divarce and soon-to-be-ex-wife, just before they shake hands and part ways. When my dad sees us waiting for him, he smiles,

“Come on in, you two.”

My legs shake as I walk, and if it wasn’t for Jace keeping his hand on my lower back, letting me know that he is right there, I might have actually turned around and ran from the building. This is the first time in my life that I have not Jooked forward to talking to my father. Just as we are sitting, Corrine comes in with a delivery bag and hands it to my

dad. She winks at me when she turns to leave, and I smile back at her.

“So, what is this emergency that couldn’t wait until I got home tonight?” My father asks as he pulls his favorite turkey and swiss cheese on a hoagie bun, out of the paper sack, along with a bag of chips.

Jace is the one to speak first, “Someone sent Ella a video this morning, and we are pretty sure that it’s to blackmail her into dropping the case.”

“Why would you think that?” My dad’s brows furrow as he studies Jace,

“Well, the video is kind of explicit, and I had been told the other day that a friend overheard Mason’s twin sister talking on the phone with someone abut Ella. Apparently, somebody has been keeping tabs on your daughter to try and find dirt on her.”

“I see,” my father looks at me concerned, “So, what’s on this video? I find it hard to believe that anybody would find dirt on you, Ella,”

“That’s what I said as well.” Jace chuckles nervously.

My father’s eyes glance at Jace briefly, and then return back to me, “What did they find on you, Ella.” My dad asks sternly.

“Before I show you, Dad, you need to keep an open mind, okay…and you need to promise not to get mad.” I plead with

around, trying to figure out where we are going.
