Alex's POV

"Do you have any idea what you're doing?"

I turned to the door when I heard Ashton's voice to see him standing there, his arms crossed over his chest, his eyebrow raised showing complete and deep discontent.

I nodded and went back to the files scattered in front of me on the bed, all of which are papers that belonged to my old limp dick of a father before, but now by being a leader, I am the one who is supposed to take care of them.

"So you know how dangerous this is?" That bimbo acting all wise and mature now.

I sighed heavily, I nodded my head again without even glancing at his side. I flipped the page and he continued his investigation.

"So you are not backing out?"

I shook my head as I flipped to the next page. WOAH, ARE THESE NAKED WOMEN HERE - what the -

Looks like this work is not so bad after all.

"As apparently you had lost your mind-" He sighed, "Consider me in."

My head snapped up at his words, The f-ck?

"In? Dude just go be in with your wife and leave me alone."

In my ass.

"Alex I am serious." He said.

Serious my ass.

"I am serious too." My eyebrow raised, "I am not dragging anyone with me into this mess."

He uncrossed his arms and walked further into the room, "You think I am just gonna stand here and watch-"He said with slightly furrowed eyebrows, "I want to help, okay?"

I let out an irritated sigh before I gathered the papers from around me and placed them aside. Giving him my attention, I said, "You want to help? Great. Go take your wife and son and go back to LA before sh-t hits the fan, i promised Cara to keep you guys safe and I can't do that with my hands full with-" I looked back at the papers, "With whatever they call this, so do me a favor and get as far as you can away from here."

His lips curled up in annoyance, "I am not going anywhere because obviously, you have lost all your senses, you are not thinking clearly." How am I even supposed to think clearly?

"You're driven by anger and rage and that will just get you hurt Alex so-"

"Look I appreciate your concern." I interrupted him, "But your help is not needed here, I know what I am doing, so leave Ashton, leave before someone gets hurt."

"I have a feeling you are the only one who is gonna get hurt."

He is not dropping this down, is he ?!

"Let me help." He added.

I ran my fingers from the edge of my jaw to my chin, "Why you want to help anyway ?"

His eyes widened a bit in disbelief, he looked like he is about to kill me I swear, "Why? Maybe because you are my friend!" His voice got louder, "And maybe because she is not just your girl but she is also my wife's friend-" Lined etched between his eyebrows, "Maybe because I care about her too !"
