As we touch down on the island just before midnight, I hold Cami’s hand tightly, wanting to savor every moment I get to touch her before I have to leave her behind.

Until the emotional moment we shared in the shower, I haven’t recently thought of the secret I’m keeping from her.

It’s not that I’ve forgotten, but we’ve been busy settling into our life together and discovering who was behind Maurice’s death.

I thought I could keep the secret forever and take it to my grave. I thought I didn’t have to marry Cami, that we could just enjoy our lives together as a couple.

I was wrong.

After the emotional moment in the shower where she made me understand I now have someone who worries about my safety, I realized I want the ultimate commitment between us. I want her to take my last name. I want to have children with her.

I want to marry Cami.

And for that to happen, I have to come clean and hope to all that’s holy, she forgives me. It’s either that or I’ll fucking hold her prisoner until she learns to love me again.

We step off the plane, and I can’t bring myself to smile at Nikolai and Abigail, who are waiting for us.

“Thank you for letting Cami visit while I take care of business.”

My friend smiles at me. “It’s our pleasure to have her.”

“I don’t have time to stay,” I inform him. “The sooner I get going, the sooner I’m back.”

He nods. “Go, brother. I’ll make sure nothing happens to Cami.”

I turn to face her and hate the worry in her eyes. She forces a brave smile to her face. “Don’t make me wait too long.”

I press a kiss to her mouth, then reply, “I won’t.”

Turning away from her, I walk back to the plane and climb the steps. At the door, I glance back at the woman I love before I disappear into the cabin.

I instruct the pilot to take off, and finding my seat, I strap the safety belt on. I pull my phone out of my pocket and quickly type a message for Cami before I turn off the device.

When I get back, I have a question to ask you.

After arriving in France, I went straight to Cami’s family home.

Philippe isn’t happy that I’m alone. The man is grumbling under his breath while he cleans the kitchen.

“How is she settling in? Is she doing better?” he asks, not even glancing my way.

“She’s happy, Philippe,” I assure him.

“Good,” he mutters, wiping his hands on a towel. “Thank you for taking care of her. She seems to really love you.”

“And I love her.” I pick up the glass of water and take a sip before saying. “I’m heading out. I’ll be back later.”

He just nods as I walk out of the kitchen. I’m dressed in my usual black suit, and as I leave the house, I grab my duffle bag I left in the foyer.

Roux’s property isn’t far from Cami’s family home.

After checking the company’s security, it was clear I wouldn’t be able to get into his company’s building. The security is fucking tight. So it’s left me with only two options. Either I take him out while he’s traveling, which wouldn’t make it personal like Cami requested, or I kill him at his house.

I’m going with the house option so I can take my time. Luckily Roux lives alone. Seems he learned his lesson after his fourth divorce.

I park the SUV a couple of miles away from Roux’s mansion, and picking up the duffle bag, I climb out of the vehicle.
