“I took what I was owed,” I said.

“You Italians simply take and take,” Katarina sneered. “You better watch yourself before someone takes something that you love.”

I opened my mouth ready to call Katarina on her bullshit. Her family had taken plenty from me, but just as I was about to remind her of that, the doctor walked into the room.

“Is now a good time?” he asked, looking between me and Sasha’s mother.

“It’s fine,” I said, ignoring my mother-in-law. “How is Sasha?”

“Your wife is going to pull through,” he said.

I immediately felt a sense of relief. Not just because Sasha’s death would have started a war with her family, but also, because the thought of losing another person, even one I wasn’t particularly close to, was too much.

“Thank God,” Katarina said. She had slipped back into her concerned mother persona, which I found incredibly unconvincing.

The doctor blinked, obviously trying to figure out who this woman was. “This is Sasha’s mother,” I said.

He nodded. “One of the bullets got Sasha’s kidney, but we were able to repair the damage. She’s going to have several months of recovery.”

“Well we will be there to give her whatever she needs,” Katarina said.

I highly doubted that. Katarina wasn’t going to be in my house, and I got the sense that she wasn’t going to be with Sasha more than she had to.

The doctor nodded.

“When is she going to be back in the room?” I asked.

“We will monitor her for about an hour, and then, you’ll be able to see her.”

“Thank you,” I said, reaching out to shake his hand. I was still covered in blood. I hadn’t had an opportunity to change out of my suit, and I was impressed that the doctor didn’t flinch at my appearance.

“I’ll have the nurse come and speak to you two,” he said.

Katarina and I nodded pretending to be a normal concerned family as he walked out the door.

“Since you are here I am going to head home,” I told her.

“What?”

“I have business to get to,” I told her. “And now that you are here, Sasha has all the support that she needs.”

“You are her husband,” she said.

“And you are her mother,” I said. I grabbed my suit jacket off of the back of the chair I had spent the past five hours in. “I’m sure that she would rather see you than me when she wakes up.”

I wasn’t sure if that was true, but I had business to take care of, so Sasha’s mother would have to do it while I hunted who had harmed her.

“Took you long enough,” Marco said, as I walked into the warehouse.

After leaving the warehouse, I returned home for a quick shower and change.

“Katarina Petrov came to the hospital,” I said. “I was trying to figure out if they had anything to do with it.”

“I thought that you were sure they hadn’t,” Marco said. He led me towards the back of the warehouse. This was one of our father’s first properties, and we didn’t run anything through it. My father had used it for interrogation, and I’d continued the trend.

“I am,” I said. “I’m even more convinced now. Katarina made it clear that Isaac would never allow harm to come to Sasha. She was adamant about it,”
