Austin Harper completely lost control of his temper, practically shooting to his feet. "What the hell do you mean by that? You really wanna say it was Sister Renee who forced you! Adam Sinclair, are you even a fucking man? For some slutty Star who'll spread her legs for anyone, you'd even smear your own first love you grew up with?"
Earlier, Adam had been cutting him slack because of the mess in his family and the way Renee had blinded him, never really wanting to argue with him for real. But that one line Austin spewed out—"for some slutty Star who'll spread her legs for anyone"—completely enraged the man who'd been enduring him this whole time.
Almost the very second the words left his mouth, the always composed, aristocratic man's expression changed drastically. He swung his left hand and his fist smashed straight into Austin's face.
There was a loud bang.
Austin staggered and slammed hard into the wall.
