Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir by Ryker Helios

30. Confronting

Coraline got released a day later from the hospital. She was extremely disturbed to learn about the situation with her life insurance, as she had not even been aware of something like that happening.

“He must’ve forged my signature,” she utters in horror, sitting on her hospital bed as doctors fussed around, making sure she was ready to be released, “I do not have any sort of memory about altering my life insurance policy.”

“You know, that is a crime, right?” I ask her, “you need to take this to the police, Coraline.”

She nods mutely, “I’m afraid I must. But first, I need to talk to him.”

And she looked so damned terrified at the idea that I wanted to find Aiden and strangle him for what he did to her. I could understand her hesitance, but as long as she was afraid of him, he would get the power to control her life even without being her boyfriend. I can’t even imagine how he managed to forge the documents and alter her life insurance without anyone noticing. I have a suspicion that he bribed some people in order to do it.

It takes me so much effort to ignore Aiden the next time I attend the Adrenaline Rush club after Coraline’s release. There is nothing I want more than to march over to him and plant one on his smug face, but out of respect for Brennan, I refuse to give into my baser urges. I steer clear of him as much as I could, but Brennan can sense that I’m livid and wrung taut like a bow.

“Woah, kid,” he comments as I instill rapid punches on the sandbag in front of me. “Slow down, would you? Otherwise, you will break your knuckles, and broken knuckles are a pain in the ass.”

I huff as I slow down on my punches. I feel the pain in my knuckles all right, but the pain fuels my anger, and I don’t want to let the hot rage go.

Brennan holds the sandbag until I’ve exhausted all the pent-up anger on it, and collapse on the ground on my ass, panting. He calmly crouches next to me and asks, “what’s wrong? I’ve never seen you like this before.”

“A friend of mine had her psycho ex-boyfriend alter her life insurance policy,” I mutter, not naming names in order to keep everyone anonymous. Brennan sucks in a breath. “We found out when she was taken to the hospital after a severe allergic reaction. I’m so fucking mad at that son of a bitch I could march over to him and kill him.”
