understand why she had done what she’d done. “I was just so confused yesterday, Tyler, and I really did think I was doing the right thing. I know you’re going to be pissed off and you have every right to be, but I just needed to get my head straight and try to figure out what to do for the best.”
     
    “I don’t doubt that for a minute, Isobel, but unless you tell me what’s been going on I can’t help you.” Tyler’s voice was full of patience, but Isobel could tell that he was getting really concerned. “Has somebody hurt you?” She could hear the steel in his voice and knew without a doubt that if anybody had hurt her they would pay a high price.
     
    Isobel was quick to reassure him, hating the worry that she could see on his handsome face. “No, Tyler. It’s nothing like that, I promise.” It was her turn to take hold of his hand and reassure him. “I was just a complete idiot. I was told something by somebody and instead of confirming it with you I ran away like a scared child.”
     
    She took another deep breath before continuing. “And then I made the situation worse by going to see somebody I shouldn’t have.” She could feel the emotion welling up again but this time she fought to keep it under control. She had to tell Tyler everything now, because if he found out later it would look like she had been keeping things from him, and one thing he could never forgive was deception.
     
    Tyler frowned in confusion, obviously not knowing where to start or how to calm her down. “Why don’t you start at the beginning, Isobel? You said you were told something by somebody, so why don’t you tell me who that somebody was and what they told you exactly.”
     
    Isobel nodded. He was always the voice of reason, but she wasn’t sure how reasonable he was going to feel by the time she’d finished. “Okay. The person I saw was Jessica, and she stopped me outside of the suite door yesterday after you’d left for your meetings.”
     
    She could sense Tyler getting tenser by the second. There was definitely no love lost between him and his hopefully soon-to-be ex-wife, and just mentioning her name pissed him off. “What the hell did she want?” Even his voice had hardened and Isobel felt her stomach churn at the thought of how he was going to react when she told him what Jessica had said.
     
    “She informed me that she was still a shareholder in all of your businesses and that when push came to shove you would choose her and your money over me.” She gripped Tyler’s hand and tried to reassure him by her touch. “And I wouldn’t blame you, Tyler. Who in their right mind would give up millions of dollars just to be with me?” She took another deep breath. “Especially when they have a beautiful wife who is willing to forget everything that’s happened and who obviously wants to be with you?”
     
    Tyler stood up from the table, running his hand through his hair as he paced the room in an agitated way and obviously trying to get his thoughts and his words together. Isobel sat there silently, giving him the time he needed to think things through.
     
    It was probably only a minute or two but it felt like hours, and then he stopped and turned to face her. “Okay, Isobel, I thought I’d made myself perfectly clear with regards to Jessica, but you obviously either didn’t believe me or didn’t want to believe me.” Isobel could tell by his face that he was infuriated, to say the least. “Jessica means absolutely nothing to me, and if I have to choose between her, money and you, you will win every damn time. This silly insecurity of yours has to stop before it causes real problems between us. If I could get my hands on the asshole that made you feel so insecure about yourself, I would ring his fucking neck!”
     
    Isobel cleared her throat, feeling her face go red as she listened to his words. She knew she had to tell him that she’d met up with the asshole he was referring to, but she
