Demon CEO's Hidden Love: Mr Grayson Stole Me From My Abusive Husband-Chapter 73: A Naked Shower

Thane hugged Brooke until she was able to calm down, once she did he filled her in on everything that had been going on.

"So, that van that picked Cassie up that day, was yours?" she asked, half hoping that it wasn’t true.

"It was, and I’ve been meaning to talk to you about something." He went on, "About Cassie and my plans moving forward."

"Cassie?" Her stomach churned, why were they bringing her up, she felt nervous about what he would end up saying.

Thane noticed the worried look on her face and smiled, "It’s not what you’re thinking. You’re my partner, I need to trust that I wouldn’t betray you."

Brooke nodded, "Alright, then please explain everything to me, so I can understand." she rested her back against the headboard, taking a good look at Thane.

He looked exhausted, he had been working late into the night every day, and she feared he would fall sick. frёewebnoѵēl.com

"I want you to help Luther get out of prison." Thane announced.

"What?" Brooke unintentionally snapped at him, "I thought you were helping Sadie and I the whole time." her heart raced with anxiety.

"And I still am. Placing him in prison now was just a warning, with what we have, it isn’t enough to keep him in prison, at least for as long as you want. Men like him will get bail sooner than later." He explained, stroking his thumb against the back of her palm.

She sighed, "I don’t understand, why do you have to get involved?"

"Because Brooke, if you want to destroy an enemy, you have to do it from the inside and outside." He could still see the confusion in her eyes and decided to make his full intentions known to her.

Although he didn’t want to burden Brooke with all this, he felt that she ultimately would want to know, given her tragic past with Cassie.

After he spent nearly half an hour explaining it to her, she finally understood what Thane was trying to do. Her face turned sour, she understood his plan, but wasn’t fully on board with it.

"So what do I do now? How do I explain to Sadie that she’s going to have to drop the charges against Luther?" Brooke mused.

"She doesn’t. You and Sadie keep doing what you’re doing, the harder a time you can give Luther while he’s in jail, the better. I’ll do what I can on my end to get him out, but only after you’re both satisfied." He assured her, earning a relieved sigh from Brooke.

She in turn opened up about what she had asked her mother to get.

"I see! You wanted to expose the contracts of all the other employees at this time, so it would highlight his crime." He remarked after listening to Brooke’s plan, it made him smile, "That’s just like you."

She curled her finger around her hair. "Just like me? What does that mean?" Her tone turned soft and low.

Thane cleared his throat, he hadn’t realized he said that part out. "I mean, how straightforward you are. It shows in your plans and actions, you always want to face the challenge head on, despite how hard it could be." He observed.

Brooke frowned, "Are you sure you’re not talking about someone else? That doesn’t sound very much like me." She confessed. She had always felt like she was running from everything, so it sounded foreign hearing someone say that about her.

He reached for her chin and gently caressed it, his sudden touch lit a gentle flame in Brooke, "You might not know it, but I find that sort of behavior endearing." he said staring into her eyes.

Brooke could hear her heart racing, she was afraid that Thane would hear it too considering how close he was on the bed. It was there and then she realized that they were both sitting on the same bed in a room, alone.

She gulped, ’Isn’t this the sort of mood for that?’

Her sights landed on Thane’s skin peeking out of his unfastened buttons, she wondered how it would feel, to touch him. Her hand slowly moved towards him, acting on it’s own.

But before she could act on that fantasy, Thane’s phone rang.

What perfect timing!

He got up and quickly went to answer the call. He had half a mind to scold him on calling at odd hours, but what he had to say over the phone drowned out his anger.

Brooke immediately sensed that something was wrong once he got off the phone. "Mr Grayson is there a problem?"

He sighed, pushing his hair back. "It’s Sadie, she’s filled Hannah in on the most part of what happening."

"You mean with president Lucas and that photo?"

He nodded. "Apparently, the one who took the picture is her brother, and he’s blackmailing her with even more incriminating photos."

Brooke gasped and covered her mouth.

But surprisingly, Thane was calm, far calmer than she thought he’d be. He walked over to the closet to take out a pair of sleeping clothes and a towel to take to the bath.

"It’s fine this way I guess, at least we know the threat, it won’t be hard to find him and take care of this matter." He announced, relaxing his shoulders.

Was it that easy for him?

"But will be agree even if you gave him the money? Wouldn’t he just ask for more?" She asked.

Thane tossed his towel over his shoulder as he headed straight for the bathroom. "Money? I would never give money to someone asking for it. Now that I know what he wants, it’ll be easier for me to take care of things." He tossed Brooke a reassuring smile.

"Don’t worry, it’ll all be resolved by tomorrow." He said, then went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Brooke could hear the water rushing, and it caused her face to flush with embarrassment, as she imagined what Thane would look like completely naked in the shower...
