After brushing my teeth, I pull on some jeans and a T-shirt, barely looking at Rachel as I text Sam. I need coffee before I check on her. Fuck it, I can’t feel shittier. Might as well get it over with.

I walk down the hall, drenched in sweat as I make my way to her door and knock.

Nothing, but what did I expect? I pound again as my mind tries to block out the betrayal her eyes held for me.

“Raven.” Still silence. I lean my arm up on the door frame and wait, my pulse starting to race. Twisting the door handle, I brace myself for her pain, her anger, anything but what I’m seeing.

I take a breath and glance around. For the second time in my life, I see red and grab an empty drawer, still open from her packing, and throw it against the wall, watching it crack and splinter.

“Raven?” I scream, kicking the bathroom door open. Her scent instantly envelops me, and I look up, seeing the shampoos and lipsticks she’s left behind.

“Iain?” I bellow as I move to the window and look down at the sunny day.

“What’s happened?” Rachel runs in, still naked, her face looking like she has two black eyes since she clearly passed out in her makeup.

“Where the fuck is Raven?” I roar.

She takes a step back. “How would I know?” Her words don’t matter; her eyes tell me everything I need to know. She can’t even try to pretend.

“Put some clothes on. I’m calling the police.”

“What? Why would you call the police?” Her eyes narrow and she plants her hands on her hips, completely ignorant to the fact that my security team has their Glocks drawn and is rushing in.

“Get the footage. Raven is gone. How the fuck did this happen?” I turn to look at Eddie and Michael as Iain bursts into the room.

“Mr. Powers, Raven left last night.” Eddie lowers his Glock.

My pulse is pounding out of my chest. “What? Why wasn’t I notified?” I swing around to look at them. “You’re fired. Get out.”

“Mr. Powers?” Iain holds up his hands and motions for his guys to leave the room.

Iain is my main man, but if he allowed Raven to leave me…

“Did you let her go?” I walk up to him.

“I did. She said that her mother had given her a new American Express Black Card and that both of you were… occupied at the time. Seeing as she’s an adult, and I was not instructed that she wasn’t allowed—”

“I never said she could leave,” I hiss as Rachel steps in between Iain and me.
