The temptation of my brother-in-law

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-six

Malachi’s POV

My phone rang at two in the afternoon.

Cecilia’s name flashed on the screen. I answered immediately.

"What’s wrong?"

"They’re here. At my apartment. Malachi, they’re trying to get in."

Her voice was shaking. Panicked. I’d never heard her sound like this.

"Who’s there?"

"My uncles. Both of them. They’re saying I need to sign papers. That if I don’t, they’ll make me. Malachi, I’m scared. I was at the company earlier, but you weren’t there."

I was already moving. Grabbing my jacket. My keys. "Lock yourself in your bedroom. Don’t open the door for anyone. I’m on my way."

"Hurry. Please."

I hung up. Ran for the elevator. Called Maurice while I waited.
