Daddy's Little Liar (Daddy 12)

Chapter Nineteen

Rylan watched her walk stiffly out of the building.

“What the fuck are you doing?” Duncan yelled. “I could see her shut down before my eyes, and you still let her go.”

“Oh, I didn’t let her go. I’m going to get my things from the office, call a car, and get home to her. Meet me out back. You’re going with me.”

Duncan exhaled and walked away.

Rylan stepped off the elevator on the top floor. “Carolyn, cancel my meeting for this afternoon. I’m headed home for the rest of the day, and I won’t be back until Monday.”

“Is there a problem?”

“Yes, I have to fix Faith’s trust because I can guarantee she thinks she’s going to walk away from me because she believes I don’t want her.”

Carolyn’s eyes widened. “I could never see that. You love that woman more than anything.”

“Yes, I do. Too bad she can’t see it like the rest of the people in our lives. Why don’t you take off after you call to cancel my afternoon?”

“I’ll do that. Good luck, and don’t be too mad at her. She has to have a reason, but sometimes she looks so fragile I can’t imagine how she made it this long on her own.”

“She doesn’t have to worry about that anymore.”

Rylan grabbed his things and rode the elevator down. When the doors opened, Duncan was waiting there to meet him.

“The car’s out in the back of the building.”

Rylan nodded. “Good.”

“Are you sure you want me to come?”

“Yes, I’m going to need you to help me discipline her. I’ll tell you what we’re going to do on the way there. I’ve had many talks with Darian about how to deal with our littles.”

“This should be good.” Duncan grinned.

Rylan pulled out his phone and dialed the house. “Stuart, has Faith arrived home yet?”

“Yes, sir. She looked really pale and told me she was going to go to your bedroom and rest.”

“Good, don’t let her leave.”

“All right, sir.”

Rylan told Duncan what Stuart said.

“Do you think she’s going to try to run today?”

Rylan shook his head. “No, but she’s going to make plans to leave.”

Duncan snorted. “I’d like to see her try.”

Rylan looked out the window, trying to hold his patience. The driver was going as fast as he could.

They finally pulled up through the gates and to the front door.

Rylan and Duncan scrambled out and headed into the house.

Stuart pointed to the stairs. “She hasn’t come down yet.”
