Joseph Mills

"Are you out of your mind?! We agreed to keep Estelle away from them." Titus stands in front of me and I laugh.

We are at one of our safe houses in the meeting room. "I didn't say anything."

Titus glares at me, "If you didn't say anything then why is Kade slowly getting on Estelle's trail."

I raise my hands in surrender, "All he knows is that Estelle has her eyes on the crazy couple."

Bradley steps in between us, "Calm down Titus."

Titus scoffs, "Calm down, how can I when Joseph here always thinks this is a game? Not only that he's dragging my son into his little games."

I stop laughing and push against Bradley, "My little game is seeing if your son can take care of my daughter. How did any of you find out?"

Titus pushes Bradley back, "Why do you care about her well-being all of a sudden? You didn't care before she meant Kade, but now you're trying to be the father of the year."

I glare at Titus and he smirks, "Did I hit a nerve?"

"That's enough!" I drop my head from the voice.

"Bradley you didn't." I say as I hear the sound of heels getting closer.

"He did." My wife says as she stands in front of us.

Me and Titus glare at Bradley, "You two don't listen to me. Scarlett is the only one who can keep you two from killing each other." He says as he steps back.

Scarlett looks at me and smiles, "How's my wonderful husband doing?"

I show her a smile as she fixes my tie and rubs my ear, "I'm doing so much better now that you're here."

I lean down and try to kiss her, but she leans back and shows me her threatening smile, "Why does Kade know that Estelle wants something to do with the crazy couple? Why does he know that I have some connection with Estelle and William? And I'm your wife you know you can't keep secrets from me. Plus Jasmine told me."

My lips slowly drop and I show her a nervous smile, "I didn't tell him anything about Estelle."

She brings me closer to her face having us inches apart, "Then why does he know these things?"

I clear my throat and Titus laughs, "Yeah, Why does Kade know these things about Estelle?"

I give him the finger and Scarlett grabs my tie, "We agreed, you know what fuck that. I said we will not be telling them about Estelle until we know that we can handle it."

I nod my head and she rubs her thumb over my lip, "So why is Kade sniffing out Estelle?"

She lets me go and I clear my throat. She holds her index finger up, "And you better have a good reason."

I hear Titus laugh, "The reason should be good enough."

I run through my brain looking for a good reason and nothing but the truth comes to mind.

"I didn't tell Kade anything about Estelle. I just gave him hints and the hints I gave him led him to Estelle."

She hums in response, "But why?"

There is only one person in this world I fear other than God or even sometimes more than God and that person is my wife.

I look down and lowly say, "To test Kade."

She starts laughing and I raise my eyebrow. She looks at Bradley and Titus, "For a second I thought he said he was only doing this to test Kade."

I hold my breath as Bradley and Titus nod their heads.
