Check.
No finger on the trigger until you’re ready to shoot.
Last. Fucking. Check.
“If you try to run, I’ll kill you,” I say calmly. “I have perfect aim.”
Marco has the nerve to make a derisive noise.
“Call them, Aleks,” I say calmly.
“The left corner flag,” he says, his own fixed gaze daring them to move.
“Red one or white one?”
The white one’s no more than a speck.
“White, baby. Then take out the turret and hit the streetlight at the outermost corner of the lot.”
“Easy.” I aim and shoot in rapid succession as Aleks pins them with his gaze. The flag turns to shreds, the turret and the light shatter.
“Holy shit,” Saul mutters under his breath.
“All this time you had a fucking skilled markswoman under your own roof, but you and your father were male chauvinist pricks,” Aleks says, shaking his head. “And you fucking wasted her skill.”
I turn to Leonardo. “I had a child because of you. I believe you owe her some money.”
Aleks nods. “Take out your bank information and send all the funds directly to the information I give you. It’ll go into a high yield savings account,” he says, likely more for my benefit than anyone else’s.
It’s satisfying to see Leonardo’s trembling hands as he makes the transfer.
Saul is cursing under his breath. “You set us up.”
Aleks takes a step toward him. “Remember your place, Bianchi.”
“What do you want from me?” Leonardo whines.
“Retribution. Admit what you did.” He nods to Saul. “You and your friend will leave your other friend with us.”
Saul glares at me.You don’t look that way at me anymore, Saul.“Careful, Saul,” I say in a low voice. “My name is Harper Romanov now. The Harper you knew is gone.”
He clenches his jaw and nods to Marco.
“Don’t leave me,” Leonardo says, trembling. “You can’t leave me like?—”
“Like the way you left me the night you raped me?” I ask, clenching my free fist.
“I’m sorry,” he says, shaking as the medication fully hits. He falls to one knee. Soon he’s going to pass out, but at the last minute, he stumbles back up onto his feet, takes one look at Aleks, and runs.
I cock my gun and shake my head.
Leonardo will never victimize anyone again.
No woman will ever suffer because of him again.
“Don’t shoot to kill,” Aleks says in my ear. “He deserves retribution before he dies.”
I nod and pull the trigger. I know exactly where I’ll hit him before he lands.
