63 Like You Know Sh*t About Ethics

Sterling

"Thank you both for meeting with me." Elise spoke with a smug grin on her face. "I think we have a lot to discuss."

"Get to the point Ms. Tunt." My father's tone was colder than ice as he spoke. "What the fuck do you think you've found out about me?"

"How straightforward." Elise responded. "I figured maybe we could at least properly exchange pleasantries before getting into how dirty your hands are Mr. Tipton."

"Just get on with it." I didn't hold back from making my annoyance clear. "The less time we're in a room with you the better."

"Oh do you have somewhere to be?" Elise asked. "Maybe you have an assistant to go sleep with, because that's ethical right?"

"Ethical? Like you know shit about ethics." I let out a dark chuckle. "And for the record, it's not my fault that she knows how to properly take care of a man."

Elise rolled her eyes as she turned her attention back to both my father and I. "Look, I'll keep this simple. I have information I know you'd guys hate to see the light of day, however I'm willing to destroy everything I've collected if Sterling is willing to give our relationship the proper chance it deserves."

"Why do you even want to be with me so bad?" I wanted to hear it come from her mouth. "There are plenty of men out there Elise, let's be honest we both know you weren't a saint in our relationship."

"That's rich coming from the guy who ate out his assistant out a few days before trying to dump me." I could see I struck a nerve with her.

"And your point?" I asked.

"My point is you really don't want to fuck with me right now." The more I seemed to fight back the angrier she began to get. "I've got everything I need to take this family and your companies down if you don't honor my requests."

"You keep saying that Ms. Tunt, but you've yet to tell me what it is you found." My father spoke, I could tell he wasn't intimidated by her threats. "So what is it? What's this secret you've dug up?"

Elise shifted in her chair uncomfortably. It was like she didn't expect it to get this far. Like we were supposed to just take her word for it and bow down without making her give us any form of proof. If that's what she thought though, clearly she didn't know my family as well as she thought she did.

"Are you sure this is something you want to discuss with your son present?" She asked my father.

He let out a mocking chuckle. "When it comes to my son I'm an open book with him. Hell I had no problem admitting to him I wanted to get rid of you."

Now that we weren't together he wasn't going to hold back on her. There was no reason to play nice. She was going to get the ruthless Damon Tipton and I was going to be there every step of the way to back him up.

"Fine." Elise sat a file she brought in with her on his desk. She proceeded to open it up to a picture of my mother. "This wouldn't be a picture of your wife around the age of twenty-one or twenty-two is it?"

My father and I looked at the photo of my mother. She was younger here but you could still tell that it was indeed her. "This is just a picture. That's all."

"I mean it is just a picture, you're right." Elise agreed. "But anyone can tell what part of town that is by the building she's standing in front of. We all know that's where you can go buy cheap prostitutes."

"What?" I looked at my father in surprise. This was a detail of their past that had been left out. All that they ever told Scarlett and I is that they met when she was in a bad situation with Justin.

My father was silent as he clenched his fist tightly. I could tell he was doing his best to remain calm. "Again, that's only a photo Ms. Tunt. You have no evidence of the things you're accusing my wife of."

"Again, you're right." A smug grin crossed her lips. "But I know something that you don't Mr. Tipton."

"And what's that?" I could tell he was only growing more irritated.

"My father happened to buy her one night." Elise informed him.

"Dad." I sternly spoke to get his attention. If Elise was telling the truth this is one thing he had left out when he opened up about their past.

"Sterling, it's your mother's story not mine." He explained. "All I can tell you is she was only doing what she had to do. I'm the one who helped take her off of the streets once and for all, she hasn't lived that life in years."

I had many more questions but now was not the time. Right now the focus was on Elise. "So what Elise? Why do you even care about what my mother's done?" I asked.

"Well, I'm sure if my father bought her, then some of his friends probably did as well." Elise continued on. "All of them I'm sure would be willing to back up the fact that Kaydence Tipton used to be a prostitute. Now in our world of the elite, that could make the Tipton family a laughing stock really fast."

My father's face darkened, to the point even I was a little frightened. Elise wanted a war, she was getting just that. The only thing she didn't realize is Damon Tipton isn't the one you want to mess with. He's done some fucked up things to protect us and he wasn't about to stop now.

He stood up from his desk and looked coldly upon Elise. "Listen hear you spoiled little bitch, I have no problem taking the needed measures to protect my wife and family." His voice grew more and more threatening as his rage came front and center. "You can go and tell everyone you found but do you think they'll really care?! No, they won't! Why? Because I'm Damon fucking Tipton and anyone knows you don't fucking mess with Damon fucking Tipton!"

The look on Elise's face was priceless. The poor bitch looked terrified now. However this was only the beginning here. When you mess with one Tipton you mess with us all and the fact she was coming for my mother was unacceptable, I've always been protective of Kaydence and I wasn't stopping now.

I stood up from my seat and looked at her with utter disgust. "Fuck with my mother and watch what happens Elise. One Tipton after your ass is enough, we'll take you down so hard and fast you won't see it coming. Now if you're smart you'll forget about this information you claim to have compiled and leave. Or you can stay and try to threaten us some more but in the end we'll fucking bury you alive if we have to."
