My Man

Chapter 9- Oh, F**k

Lars POV

"Hey boss, I got that information about Brielle," Zander knocks on my office door.

I wave him in and motion for him to sit at the desk.

"Well..." I impatiently demand.

"So I was right, she's been through some shit. Found out the basics that you already know, she grew up in Charleston, close with her family, best friends name Claire, smart in school, had a pretty good life..."

"Yes, yes...I know I know please tell me the shit I don't know," I order.

Of course I know all of that about my girl. What I want to know is why she is so terrified of me.

"She dated someone when she was 23 and in college. His name was Camden O'Connor. He uh....he beat her. A lot.." Zander winces and hands me over photos.

Photos of her beautiful face swollen and bruised.

What. The. Fuck.

To say I am furious is the biggest understatement in all of history.

Zander patiently waited for me to continue with his findings. I nodded to him, I needed to know it all. Right now.

"He was a pathological liar, abused her mentally and physically. Real psychopath piece of shit. Had a giant record from when he was a kid. His father is in jail for murder....seems like he's on the same path." Zander stops before continuing, "luckily with Brielle and her family being close, they were able to get her away from him."

Thank god my girl is so strong.

"He went to jail one night after beating her pretty badly. That's the night those pictures of her are from," Zander said, pointing to the pictures of her face all broken, then continued, "he's still in jail, got a 5 year sentence. After she got away from him, she spent a lot of time on her own."

I'm trying to keep my cool so Zander can finish.

"Your girl is one strong chick. She went to intensive outpatient therapy, spent some years focusing on healing herself. Didn't date anyone after that. Went back to college and finished, then moved out here." Zander finishes.

"No wonder she's terrified of me..." I mutter, shaking my head.

"Boss you're fucking nothing like that piece of shit. Give her some tome, she's a strong, smart girl. She'll come back to you."

I get out of my chair and gaze out my giant office window that over looks the city.

I sure fucking hope she comes back, because I'm nothing without her.

*Brielle POV

"Why did I leave him that day?" I ask Claire over the phone.

"Girl I have no idea, homeboy is one hot piece...and absolutely adores you." She answers before adding, "sometimes mimosas make you do stupid shit."

We both laugh at her comment. It's true.

After hanging up the phone with Claire, I go back to folding my laundry.

Buzzzz...buzzz... A text comes through my phone.

Unknown Number: Miss me? Well I'm out. Better watch your back bitch.

I freeze instantly.

Oh fuck. It's him. It's the man I ran from, it's the man that hurt me. It's Camden.

*Authors note:

Shit is about to get real. I'll try to have the next chapter out by the weekend because it's a good one!
