Shadows In Durango

Chapter 113

*****Vincent's POV*****

I barely hang up the phone before I'm back pacing in the office again, hating the feeling of being out of control in any situation let alone one involving Sofia!

Ashton that piece of shit from her past - had been here in town for who only knows how long, and I didn't even know anything about it!

I felt like a fucking fool!

The thought of him worming his way back in to her life behind my back makes my stomach churn, my fists clenching so hard that my nails begin to bite into my palms.

I can't believe I didn't know about him sooner, when Daryl had been the one to show him around at school and Emma also knew that he was here...

I was slightly annoyed that Emma also hadn't told me about this crucial information sooner, but I also knew that it wasn't a deliberate mistake on her part.

I was just extremely on edge with the whole thing and this addition to the story didn't help me in the slightest.

Sofia had been carrying this weight, hiding it from me, while I was too wrapped up in my own guilt dealing with her father and his demands behind her back.

She didn't think she could approach me to tell me about this, because I foolishly gave her that impression, and that was what hurt me most.

Fuck!

Emma's worried sobs fill the room, and Reid's quiet words of comfort try to calm her down, but I can't focus on them right now.

My mind is already ten steps ahead, trying to figure out my next move in a variety of different scenarios.
