I needed to have a serious talk with him about it.

“You’re free now? Come aside for a minute. I have some information about Arthur.”

At the mention of him, I looked around the place. I haven’t seen him after the wedding. The moments he lingered around, he wasn’t focused on the ceremony either. He was too busy on his phone with his tensed old features.

Nodding, I pulled him to a secluded place where guests weren’t roaming. “What did you find out? And sorry about earlier. Ace, uh, he gets a little possessive when it comes to me.”

He snorted. “A little? Can‘t you see, Em? That man is obsessed with you. He thinks of you as his property that belongs to him. And trust me, men like him like the chase. You were like a challenge to him, so he came after you suddenly after all these years. And now that you finally gave in, just wait until he shows you his true colors.”

My fists clenched. Gritting my teeth, I kept myself from saying something that might hurt him. His hatred towards Ace was getting on my nerves now.

“Warner, can we just talk about what’s important right now? We have an issue on our hands, and that’s Arthur. So, let’s stick with that for now. I already told you to not make any assumptions about me and Ace’s relationship. I’d appreciate it if you respect my wish here.”

I could see he wanted to disagree. But the stern look of mine had him shut up. Slumping his shoulders, he let out a sigh.

“All right. Let’s talk about Arthur now.”

I nodded. “Thank you. What did your cousin find out about him?”

“Tobias told you about the small business he had in Wales, right?”

I bobbed my head.

“Well, he used to run cheap hotels. After some research, we found out he did illegal businesses under the cover of those hotels. He was even suspected many times, but due to lack of evidence, the cops couldn’t take any action against him.”

My brows furrowed. “Illegal businesses? What kind of illegal businesses?”

“Not hundred percent sure, but from what pieces of information my cousin got, it seemed like he managed a brothel at nights behind the service of hotels. Sources say he forced helpless girls into prostitution.”

I gasped. A brothel? I didn’t know he would be that low of a creature. Did Ace know about this? I was sure he didn’t. He’d never allow such a man to stay around him if he had even a hint of it.

“How come he never got caught?”

His lips thinned. “He’s a shrewd man, Em. He made sure not to leave a single piece of evidence behind for anyone to use against him. He was doing that until Achilles’s father passed away and he left the UK to come to LA.”
