I had to do something about these stupid guards, but apparently, I had bigger issues to deal with. What the hell was Christian doing here? He was neither invited nor welcome, and I intended to tell him so in no uncertain terms. As I walked back to the front door, I found myself wishing I had brought a knife or something with me. I needed to have some sort of weapon, just in case!

I could only assume the girl with him was Vivian, since her calls had come from his phone earlier. For now, I would focus my attention on Christian. He was up to something, I was certain of it!

"What are you doing here?" I snapped as I arrived at the door. My visitors turned, probably surprised to have me approach from behind. "You are not allowed to come on my property without my permission. I should have my guards escort you from the premises!

It occurred to me that I was not making a particularly good first impression on my niece, but what did she matter, anyway? I didn't have time to worry about anything but my own safety! For all I knew, the pair of them could be behind whatever was being planned in that email from earlier...
