I didn’t know enough yet myself to answer that question, so I repeated it into the phone as I accepted the hot washcloth from him.
“And who iswe?” I added.
“Me and Trin.”
Fuck.
Fuck.
FUCK!
“Goddamnit, we told you—”
“I know,” she wept, which…fuck.
It pulled at me, but didn’t make me any less pissed off.
“Why in theworldare you still fucking Manuel Rojas’s wife, Maite?” I fussed. “It was already risky as hell, but now?”
“Iknow,” she repeated, still sniffling. “But we’re in love, and I… I’m sorry.”
I blew out a sigh, snatching a t-shirt, panties, and jeans from their places around the closet. “Just tell me what happened.”
“He walked in on us.”
I closed my eyes, shaking my head.
“You’re lucky you’re notdead!” I exclaimed, but then something occurred to me. “Wait, isn’t your building guarded? How did he—”
“I was at the compound. Trin snuck me in.”
…what?!
“Maite!”
“You don’t have to tell me it was stupid, Iknow,” she whimpered.
“Stupidisn’t even—FUCK!” I blew out a harsh sigh, trying my best to get even a little calmer before I continued. “At this point I’m fully worried about your actual mental capacity. What happened after he walked in on youfucking his wife in his house?” I practically screamed.
“He… got mad. He started swinging—”
“Hehityou?!”
“Both of us,” she moaned. “It was bad. But then… then…”
A sinking feeling hit me and I stopped getting dressed to stand straight up. “What did you do?”
“It wasn’t me!” she answered quickly, too quickly to convincingly convey her supposed innocence. “It was… it was Trin.”
“Fine,” I growled. “What did Trin do?!”
“She… she killed him,” she whispered, suddenly sounding so…small. “I didn’t even know she had a knife in the room, but he was over me, and she… she just started stabbing him. So many times.”
Shit…
I took a breath, racking my brain for the next step when my gaze landed on Onyx, already dressed.
What would a Rose do?
