This woman is fearless, and I realize I’m falling for her hard.
But if I don’t look out for her, she could get herself killed.
“Emily,” I say. “Enzo will be there. There’s no way he won’t recognize you.”
“But what if I’m in disguise?”
“A disguise?” I ask, “Like what? A wig? And how would you even get entry? You’d need an invite, won’t you?”
“What if I figure it out, Felix?” says Emily.
“How?” I ask.
“You know how these parties work, right? Alcohol in free flow, the wives at home, the drugs laid out. What’s common amongst the men? Female company. But with the wives at home...”
“No,” I say, my heart dropping to my stomach. “Emily, what are you even saying?”
“I can pose as a high-end escort. I know people who can send me in as an escort to one of the men. Look, it’ll be super easy. I’ll get him drugged and make sure he’s out in one of the bedrooms, and I’ll stay out of trouble.
Once he’s cold out, I can access a couple of briefcases, starting with his.”
I stare at her in shock, unable to form coherent words.
My mind races with all the possible ways this could go wrong.
But at the same time, I can’t deny the thrill that runs through my veins at the thought of her in disguise.
But for me. Just for me.
“Emily,” I start, my voice low and serious.
“This is dangerous. You could get hurt or worse.”
“I know the risks,” she says, her voice firm and unwavering.
“But this is the only way we can take them down. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to help you.”
I take a deep breath, trying to calm my racing thoughts. This woman is willing to risk her life for me and my operation. I can’t ignore that kind of loyalty.
“Okay,” I say finally.
“Your plan is brilliant, and I’ll hire someone else to do it. As for you, no way. I forbid you.”
“Who the fuck are you to forbid me?” she says as gasps go across the room.
My people aren’t used to their Don being spoken to this way.
Just when I’m about to remind her of who I am, she grabs her bag and leaves the room, slamming the door shut behind her.
She opens it a second later, says, “I’ll be taking a few days off. You may do whatever you like,” and slams the door shut again.
I choose not to chase after her because perhaps I should let her cool down before I broach the topic.
