Lorenzo POV
I held the whiskey glass that I had personally handpicked from Europe and gave the liquid a swirl before I swallowed the contents in one gulp. I had been sitting and talking with Valentino for a few moments before he dropped a bomb on me.
"What do you mean, Lindsay's piece of shit ex is here?" I asked Val. I was trying to keep my anger under control but I was about five seconds away from smashing the whiskey glass.
"How the fuck did he get past security? What if he sees Lindsay? I thought you were supposed to be keeping an eye on him?" I was peppering Val with questions but I didn't fucking care. I needed answers.
"Not her ex," Valentino mumbled, then finished off his scotch.
"What was that?" I asked.
"Not her ex," Valentino mumbled, then finished off his scotch.
"What was that?" I asked.
Val cleared his throat. "I said Henry is not her ex. I agree with you that Henry Smith is a piece of shit but it doesn't change the fact that they are legally husband and wife."
My scalp suddenly prickled and a sense of dread came over my body because Val was absolutely correct. Lindsay wasn't my wife or Nicolas' mother. She was someone else's wife. I had a lot of power but I knew this was one thing that I could not change.
Before I could think twice my eyes were scanning the private VIP room for Lindsay. She was supposed to be sitting at the bar. I told her not to move.
I sprang up from the couch and raced through the small crowd and over to the bar.
"Eli, Eli..." I hollered, trying to be heard over the pack of voices and music. "Where is my wife?" I demanded.
"Good evening, Mr. Santos." Eli responded with a smile. He had immediately stopped what he was doing to give me his full attention.
"Fuck the formalities, Eli! Where the fuck is my wife?" I asked, while still scanning the room. She's not here. Where the fuck is she?
"I took Mrs. Santos to the restroom a few minutes ago." Eli answered with a confused look on his face.
Relief floods over my body. Thank fuck! She hasn't left the room. There is no chance that Henry has seen her.
I walk over to the ladies room to wait for Lindsay. Maybe she's leaking through her nursing pads and is too embarrassed to come out. She's used to nursing Nicolas every few hours so that really wouldn't surprise me. I decided to give her a few more minutes before going in.
With a nod of my head I get Val's attention and he quickly comes over.
"Why are you hanging out in front of the women's bathroom?" He asked.
