Daddy's Little Assistant (Daddy 9)

Chapter Twenty-One

“Excuse me, why is everyone out here?”

All four of them turned to Kendra.

Kinley had to admit the woman was beautiful, but she could also tell most of her was fake. From her boobs, lips, and quite possibly liposuction.

The woman’s face lit up when she saw Eli but then immediately fell when she caught sight of him holding her hand. Kinley bit down on her lip to keep from laughing.

“Eli, I’ve missed you.”

He sighed. “What are you doing here, Kendra?”

“I came to see you.”

Kinley snorted. “Babe, you said she was a narcissistic, conniving gold-digger, but you forgot to tell me she was injudicious.”

Eli’s father and grandfather sputtered out a laugh while Eli chuckled.

“What does that mean?” Kendra shouted. “Who is this woman?”

“This is my fiancée, Kinley.”

Kinley smirked at the woman. “You don’t have to introduce her to me, babe. I guessed who she was. I doubt there are two crazy women in your life.”

“Hey!”

“What?” Kinley asked nicely.

“For one, don’t call me crazy, and two, you can’t be engaged.”

“Why not?” Eli asked, and grinned.

“What about me?”

Kinley shook her head and tsked. “I kind of feel sorry for her.”

“Why?” David asked and grinned. Eli could tell he was really enjoying himself.

“Because she’s delusional, and she can’t seem to grasp the reality of the situation. Maybe she needs help?”

Eli laughed when Kendra screeched.

He tried to push her behind him when Kendra took a few steps their way.

“Kinley, stay behind me. I don’t want you hurt.

“Babe, you taught me self-defense, remember. All I have to do is pop one of those things on her chest.”

Kendra stopped abruptly and crossed her arms over her chest.

They all laughed.

“I think it’s time for you to go, dear,” Senior said.

“I want to talk to Eli in private.”

Eli shook his head. “Give it up, Kendra. We both know I always thought you were a conniving bitch, and now you’ve added psychopath, stalker, and trespasser to the list.”

“Wait.”

“No. Listen to me.” Eli’s voice turned hard and cold. “If you don’t leave me the hell alone, I will press charges against you for trespassing in my condo, and then I’ll take out a restraining order. What do you think people in the community will think about that? Because I’ll make sure everyone knows how pathetic you really are.”

Kendra growled and picked up her purse from the hall table. “Fine. Screw you. I really didn’t want you now anyway. You used to be handsome, and now you look icky.”

Kinley growled and started for her when Eli snatched her back against his chest.

“Let me at her, Eli.”

“No, babe.”

Kendra put her nose in the air and sniffed. “Call for my car service, please.”

David laughed. “I sent a car for you when I thought you were my son’s fiancée. Now that I know you’re his stalker, I will go as far as calling for a taxi to meet you at the end of the driveway.”

Kendra gasped. “You don’t mean that.”
