Chapter 43 " Keep your voice down ! " Thomas barked as he looked around the room to make sure no one noticed . Amber suddenly stepped beside Danielle rubbing her back as if to calm her down . " Dani , sweetie don't yell . We're going to figure out something ... right . " Amber cut her eyes over at Thomas causing his irritation to rise . All of them were useless ! " I don't know , perhaps if your sons had informed me of him being here BEFORE confronting Michaels I could have got in front of it . " Thomas glared at Darius , his eyes reddening with fury . Darius walked directly to Thomas face leaving little room between them . " Or maybe if you hadn't locked my sister in fuckin shed for three days nearly killing her none of this would have happened . " Danielle , Davis , and Amber's face all ashen at Darius ' words . Daniel however , stood quiet . The image of Rabena in that shed still haunted him to this day . Thomas stared at Darius with a smug look . Letting out a scoff , " Your sister ? Don't make me laugh Crest . You practically cheered me on when I put her in there . " Darius gripped Thomas's collar , eyes glaring with rage . The Crests soon bunched in front of the two men trying their best to prevent a scene . They weren't aware that both Damon and Rabena were watching the whole thing . " Darius , let him go ! " Davis spoke in a low and pleading tone , but Darius was seeing red . Thomas let out low chuckle . " Tell me something Darius , those three days she was locked up ... did you check on her even once ? " Thomas's words hit Darius like a tone of bricks . During Rabena's three - day hold , he'd spent those days with the rest of the family celebrating Danielle's birthday . He didn't think about Rabena not one time . The blood slowly drained from Darius ' face as a sudden realization seeped in . He had no right to be upset . Letting go of his collar , Darius stalked away. The remaining Crests let out a low sigh of relief . Amber's thoughts began to run wild ; she blamed Rabena for all of this , it was HER fault why her family was falling apart . Thomas looked over into the crowd trying to spot Aaron , he had to move fast and secure this deal before the Crests all screw everything up . " I'm going to find Michales and his fiancé . Hopefully I can secure this deal before your sons ruin everything . " Daniel had reached his limit ; Thomas's arrogance was pissing him off . " Hey Lockwood , let's be clear about something . Rabena was YOUR wife , and maybe if you had been even a half decent husband instead of having your head up Danielle's ass you would have known she was the one that wrote that proposal and got you that meeting . So don't try and put this on us , you're the one that fuck this up ! " Thomas opened his mouth to say something but closed it quickly after . He had no rebuttal to Daniel's harsh words because everything he said was true . If he had been a better husband , none of this would have happened . Thomas turned to leave looking for Michaels . As he stalked away , thoughts of Rabena started to flood his mind . How she would always cook for him because he had a special diet , how she organized all of his paperwork and kept everything in order . Even though he did not respect their marriage or even her , Rabena still performed her duties as a perfect wife . Never bothering or nagging him , never asking for money or expensive gifts , always supporting him while maintaining grace . Even after securing this deal , Thomas made up in his mind that he would find Rabena and remarry her . This time he would do her right . Spotting Aaron speaking with some guests , Thomas walked up to him with a big smile . " Chairman Michaels , if you're okay with it , I'd like pick back up where we left of the other day . Your fiancé , I'd love to meet her . " 1/2
