“I know you.”

“Yes, you do. It’s time we officially got acquainted.” He smiled arrogantly. “I’m Samson Julian.”

A hand was extended which I frowned at. He smiled wider. “Not there yet? That’s understandable.”

“What are you doing in my apartment?”

“I’m waiting for your husband, just like you, beautiful.”

Waiting for Elias.

I frowned harder. “You knew who I was when you gave me those flowers.”

“Of course. My associates and I have been watching you for a while. This had to be planned just right. You and your husband have disrupted a lot of things we had set in motion and I couldn’t have that.Wecouldn’t have that.”

“I don’t understand.”

“Let’s start with the simple facts.” He moved closer and I flinched. His eyes were hard. “You can relax, I’m not going to hurt you. I’ll leave that to your husband.”

“Then you’re wasting your time because he would never…”

“Are you sure about that?”

I was until tonight.

He was so angry and erratic.

“Positive.”

“You trust him?”

I nodded slowly.

“You shouldn’t. At least not with his current mental state. He’s been unraveling for a couple weeks now.”

I frowned at him and amusement flashed behind his eyes. “Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed the changes?”

Yes. I have.

“What changes?”

“I can’t say specifically but since Temple has been fucking with his prescription I’m sure paranoia is one of them. Erratic thoughts, lack of sleep, distrust in those who are close. Specifically his wife and brother.”

Tension filled my body.

Was that why Ez threatened to shoot him and made me leave? He thought Elias would hurt me if I stayed.

“How long?”

“How fucking long have you been cheating on me?”

His words circled my mind and my body tensed more.

“He thinks—”

“That you’re being unfaithful to him, with me.”

That’s what this is about?
