“We both know killing a mob boss is worse than killing your own mother. Yet, you had to prove to yourself that you had it in you. You wanted Luigi out of the way so you could get what you believe belongs to you, right? You want your father’s position,” I say.
“Fuck you. I hired you to do a job. You failed to complete that job,” he hisses.
I laugh through Leslie’s cries. My heart is pounding wanting to hold her in my arms, but I can’t take my eyes off this unstable asshole for a second. It could cost us both our lives.
“I was hired to kill the person who killed Luigi Greco,” I say, cocking my gun.
Leslie screams at the sound, but Vinny smirks. “I knew she’d get you pussy whipped. She wanted in on my plan from the beginning. She begged me to let her prove her love for me. I was ready to toss this piece of trash out, but I figured she’d come in useful one last time.” His eyes move to Leslie. “You did good, Leslie. You ran before I could tell you. I was a little pissed you let him fuck you, which is why I needed to finish the job faster. Seeing him slam into you and you actually enjoying it, it was a little hard to watch.”
He’s fucking lying. Fuck, I hope he’s lying.
“Fuck you, Vinny. You made me a person I hated,” she yells, through her sobs.
“Maybe so, but it doesn’t change the fact that you fucked Luigi to prove your love for me. I said seduce him, not fuck him. That is all on you, Leslie.” He looks back at me and smirks. “I bet you got a different story. I bet it was all my fault and she was the innocent, naive girl.” He laughs, shaking his head. “She’s far from innocent and definitely not naive. She got him to drink the champagne. She stripped for him. She let him fuck her while she was moaning his damn name. She’s the reason he’s dead. I was going to steal his warehouse keys after he passed out from the spiked champagne. She took it further by fucking him. My jealousy got the best of me, but I think you can understand. Look at you, ready to kill me because I’m willing to bet, she let you fuck her too.”
I glance down at her and she’s sobbing, but not denying any of it.
“Leslie,” I whisper.
She doesn’t look, so I say it a little louder. “Leslie.”
Still, she keeps her head down. My anger takes over and I shout, “Leslie!”
She finally lifts her eyes to mine, and I search them. “I’m sorry.”
Vinny laughs as my heart stops beating. “Told you. She’s not innocent.”
My head snaps to him and an anger I haven’t felt in years has my blood boiling. I’m shaking with rage as I watch him enjoying my pain. “You’re not innocent either,” I growl.
Before he can even react, I pull the trigger. Leslie screams as his body hits the floor. I drop my gun and walk out of the room.
Maybe she’s right. No one can be trusted.
Chapter 12
Leslie
* * *
I can’t breathe. Vinny is dead on the floor in front of me. I’m tied to the bed and Cash thinks I’m lying about it all. I’m not
though.
I need to explain it to him, but I can’t move. The sobs hit me hard again and I try pulling on my wrists. It causes a lot of pain and I yell out.
Cash comes back in the room with fire in his eyes and when he sees Vinny is dead, he walks toward me. He cuts me free and helps me off the bed.
“I need to call Rogue. He’s gonna need to know about all this,” he says.
“Cash, please let me explain.”
He keeps walking and the weight of the situation catches up to me. I go to step down into the living room and I black out, falling to the floor.
“Fuck, Leslie.”
I feel him pick me up and place me gently on the couch. I try to force my eyes open, but I feel like I have no control. Vinny found me and that means the others can, too. I’ll never be safe. Not even with Cash.
“Leslie, come on, open your eyes,” he says, running his hand down my cheek. A tear slips past my lid and he quickly wipes it away. “You can hear me, huh?” He strokes my hair and I hear him sigh. “I want to know the truth. I need to know it, but you need to give me a fucking second. Open your eyes.”
