Chapter 21
Luka cupped his cheek. “Baby, you are amazing. Your grandparents would be so proud of you.”
Jacob smiled and leaned in to give him a quick kiss. It was no wonder he was so nuts over this man. Luka truly understood Jacob’s need to make this shelter a success.
“Thank you,” he whispered and pressed his lips to Luka’s again before settling his head on his shoulder.
“Thank you for sharing with me, baby. Do you want to catch me up on the threatening text now?”
Jacob sighed. “It started recently. Texts. Emails. Calls.” He sat up and stared directly into Luka’s eyes. “I’m being blackmailed. About my grandfather.”
Luka’s eyebrows rose.
Jacob filled him in on the video, the demand for money, and the threatening messages. He even brought down his laptop to share the video with Luka. By the time he was done, he was wiped out. Completely drained. He held on to Luka for strength, almost afraid he would slide to the floor.
