Balotelli-Bale Series Book #4: THE OTHER MAN PART 1

Chapter 34: Cuffs

A/N: New Chapter

"...when it's personal, you'll know..."

Nick's POV
I have to admit that the sex keeps getting better. It seems she's shedding off her inhibitions. She's embracing a life without her husband. She's curled up, trembling with excitement. I'm struggling to come down too. The smile on my face is priceless. We do this every night when I come over. Sometimes, multiple times in a night. We can't get enough of each other. I know for a fact that They have never found such satisfaction.

The smile on my face faded when I heard knocking.

She turned abruptly. She's worried Jason will find her and hurt her. "Is that the door? Are you expecting someone?"

"No." I answered. I got out of bed and pulled on a pair of pants. "Close the window Kei." She closed the bedroom window. Bruce does not have air conditioning. We have to open windows. "Stay."

She nodded and I left her. I'm not expecting anyone. I peeked through the peephole to see two men. I'm tempted to ignore them but no one wanders this far into the woods on private land for nothing. After a second knock, I opened the door.

I narrowed my eyes at the man standing closest to the door. "I know you. You're the officer who arrested me six years ago."

It was not my finest moment. I was high after coming from a party. I was putting away some shoes when I opened the trunk and found the bag of guns.

"You had a bag full of guns in your trunk."

"Hmmm.... no I didn't. You must have your arrests mixed up. You stopped me for speeding."

"I see what you're trying to do. Admit to nothing."

That's the point.

"I really don't know what you're talking about. What do you want?"

"May we come in?"

"Why?" He asked me.

"Mr Bale, I'm trying to be civil. Let us through."

If he's here, something is up. I can't let him in because I don't like cops. I especially am not trusting of this one. I closed the door behind me. Disappointment flashed on his face. "Enough of the small talk. What do you want Timmy?"

"I want to invite you to come over to the station. Let's have a conversation about your extracurricular activities when you're not running a multibillion company."

The Mafia? That is all I can think of.

"Can you be more specific Timmy?"

His partner passed him an envelop. He showed me a picture of Jason. "Mr Burke filed a report. He is accusing you and your bodyguard for breaking and entering. He is accusing you of assault. He is accusing you of kidnapping his wife."

Shit!

I burst out laughing to make up for my shock.

"This shit sounds like it's a movie! I'm not looking for a role in it, sorry. Get off my property."

"So you deny everything."

"I don't know what you're talking about. I haven't even spoken to you in six years. Get off my property."

"Mr Bale." He aught the door.  "You're not untouchable. This time, you will be locked away."

"Good night Timmy." I closed it.

I stayed at the peephole until he left.

This isn't good. I faced a pair of worried sapphires.

"It's going to be okay." I assured her before she asks anything.
