Protect Me

_Ruelle’s POV_

I tasted copper on my tongue as I turned my head to look at Mrs. Lexington.

I wasn't expecting that hit and I ended up biting my tongue hard.

The room temperature dropped a bit and I turned to look at Killian. ..his hands were folded in a fist and it seemed like he was holding himself back.

“How dare you hit my wife?” Killian growled in anger.

Mrs. Lexington grabbed my hair, pulling my head back.

I bit back a cry as my eyes watered, letting her do whatever she wanted.

“I told you to keep her in check, didn't I? Did you know what your wife has been doing? She has been smearing the Lexington name in mud!” Mrs Lexington exclaimed and I instantly knew that Eileen had said something to her.

“What my wife has been doing has nothing to do with anyone and I would appreciate it if you stayed away from our business,” Killian warned, making Mr. Lexington laugh dryly.

“Your wife has been going around whoring with men, she bears my surname and yet it's none of our business?!
