Manage Me (Taven's Circus Book 1)

by Unknown

  “Yes, Sir, I am James.”

  “May we speak with you privately? And if we could request the rest of you hand around a while, we would like to talk to all of you.” We all nod in agreement, they already told us we couldn’t leave the state, so it’s not like we were going anywhere. .

  I follow the detectives to the next room over and sit in the chair that they indicate.

  “Mr. James, how long did you and Miss. Snow have a relationship?” Detective Madden asks.

  “Uh, well we didn’t have a relationship. We spent a weekend having sex together.” I reply.

  “But Miss. Snow was pregnant with your child, correct?” Kitchens asks.

  “She was pregnant yes but we had a paternity test scheduled for tomorrow to find out if the child is mine.”

  “Why did you feel a paternity test was needed? Did you not trust Emily?” Madden asks.

  “It’s not that I don’t trust Emily, I honestly do not know her well enough to trust her. It was more about protecting myself and my future. I always wrapped up when having sex with woman, all woman, including Emily. I didn’t want to have a child with some random hook up. And now that I have found the woman that I want to marry, I wanted to make sure.”

  “That would be Nell Craven, correct?” asks Kitchens, and I just nod. “Did Nell know about Emily and the pregnancy?”

  “Yes, I told her everything shortly after we got together.”

  “How did she feel about the pregnancy?” Madden asks leaning forward on the table.

  “She was happy about it but we had agreed that there was nothing to worry about until we knew it was mine for sure.”

  A loud crash sound from outside the room and I hear Finn and Ryker yelling. I stand up going for the door but Madden grabs my arm.

  “Mr. James, you need to sit back down.”

  “What the fuck is going on? Why are my guys yelling?” I ask yanking from his grip just as the door the room is thrown open.

  “Fuckers are arresting Nell for shooting Emily!” Ryker yells.

  I release a roar and charge towards the open door only making it to the frame before I am grabbed from behind. I can see Nell, arms behind her back in cuffs, her face turned towards me pleading in her eyes full of tears. I fight the men that hold men, breaking away, and making it to her.

  “Sir, we cannot let you…” they start but I cut them off.

  “Just give me a fucking minute please.” The officer just nods.

  “Jaden I didn’t do this, I would never.” Nell cries huge tears rolling down her face. I wrap my big hands around her cheeks catching them.

  “I know, Beauty, I know and I’ll get you out of this. I love you. I am so sorry for all this shit. I love you, Nell.” I whisper to her taking her trembling lips with mine.

  “Okay Lovebirds, time to go.” The officer says tugging her out of my arms. I stand watching her be dragged away from me. And drop to my knees when she disappears around the corner. My woman has been taken from me.

  But I will get her back.
