CHAPTER
TEN
GRANT
âMr. Grant?â James spoke into the phone. âMs. Jaycee ran into the bathroom. Sheâs crying awful hard. Iâm worried about her.â
âShit. Is my mom still there?â
âI believe she is.â
âPlease go find her. Give her the phone. Christâthank god you were there. Are you okay? Did you see the doctor? Obviously, Iâll pay any expenses.â
âIt wouldnât be necessary. You provide a very generous health plan, but Iâm fine. Carl and some of his men helped.â
I waited as he went to find my mom then I heard, âGrant?â
âMom, what the hell happened?â
âYour father went off the deep end. He started saying some not-nice things to James when I had to use the restroom. When I got back he was out of his mindâGrant, I never heard your father talk like that before. The things he said to her were vile. I meant to calm things down, but when he threatened her, I couldnât.â
âHe threatened her?â
âYes. Her and the baby. I called the police on him. He told her that if she didnât leave you alone, that if she got on that plane, heâd make sure it was the last trip she ever took or something. Why? How can a man turn into someone you donât recognize?â
âHeâs never liked Jaycee, Mom.â
âI know. His hostility has steadily gotten worse. Something is really not right with him. He scares me. I said he turned into someone I no longer recognized. It didnât happen overnight. When he wanted to come with me tonight, I thought, maybe just maybe⦠Iâm so stupid. Iâm sorry, Grant. I didnât protect Jaycee better.â
âMom, itâs not your fault.â
âIâm filing for divorce. I refuse to live the rest of my lifeââ She sucked in a sharp breath. Iâll take you, Jaycee, and Nugget a hundred times over him.â
âYou can stay at the house. Dad will be pissed when he gets out. Iâm calling a security company once I get off the phone with you. Momâmake sure that Jaycee gets on that plane. Please.â
âSheâll be on it.â
âGive the phone to James.â Mom handed the phone back to him.
âMr. Grant?â
âIâm calling a security firm I know. While Iâm gone, theyâll go through you to get it set up. I wonât have Jaycee in danger.â
âYes. Iâm all over it.â
How unhinged did a man have to be to make threats against another person let alone his own sonâs woman and baby? I loved Jaycee and I wanted to be a father. I wanted it more than I ever thought I would. It wasnât like Iâd left him unawares of the situation. He and my mother both knew how much I wanted Nugget from the first phone call Iâd made to inform them that I was going to be a father. Iâd knocked up Jaycee Lloyd and I was fucking ecstatic about it.
As soon as I hung up with James, I called my teammate Jones. Heâd run into some trouble with a stalker who threatened his wife and kids a couple of years back. Jones hired a highly sought-after security firm that he still worked with today.
