Michael Marino.
Fuck!
How the hell does this woman know my brother? Halfbrother, but brother nonetheless.
Not that it matters much. He’s as good as dead. They all are. And I want my mother to watch it happen.
Want to see her take her last breath, knowing it’s her little darling boy who sliced her open.
She can add it to her little book of memories. The one she keeps under her mattress. Wonder if she knows I broke into her home and went through every bit of it.
But know what I didn’t see? A photo of me.
“Why would you do this, Kayla?” Michael crosses his arms. “Did he try something?”
She nods.
“He…he tried to hurt my friend. I had no choice. Please believe me.” She’s crying pitifully now, like a damsel in distress.
“Where is she? Your friend.”
“N-not here.” Her voice sounds small. Scared.
I grin.
Little wolf is a good liar. I almost believe her.
“The girl ran off,” she goes on. “I stayed because he made me. Please…” She grabs his forearm while the others start wrapping the dead body up in a tarp. “Please don’t tell Elsie.”
“I don’t plan to. She doesn’t need to worry about you more than she already does. This stays here. Do you understand?”
“Of course.” She nods, then asks, “What are you gonna do with him?”
“That’s not for you to worry about. But hear me…”
His agitation radiates out of him. I can see both Michael’s and Kayla’s profiles easily.
“That whole not-wanting-a-bodyguard bullshit? That ends. Today. You don’t have a choice anymore. Youwillget one assigned to you tomorrow.”
Fuck.That will make things complicated. How can I watch her now?
Gonna have to figure it out.
Don’t worry, little wolf. I’ll be there making sure he’s on his best behavior.
She groans, but I can see it: she doesn’t have a choice in the matter.
She clearly means something to my brother, yet she’s not his wife. That’s Elsie. She must be her friend. But I’ve never seen Kayla around when I’ve followed Elsie. I’ll find out exactly how she knows my so-called family.
“Do we understand each other?” Michael clips out. “There’s adamnkiller on the loose. And you know someone is trafficking women for the Bianchis again. They could come after you. They may want to take you back. And now this!”
And there it is.
Her demons.
I instantly want to find the ones who took her and send them straight to hell. Is that what she wants too? Does she want to see them suffer? Is that why she took this asshole’s life?
I can help her. I can bring her darkest thoughts to light. Would she let me? Or would she run?
