His Tamed Wife, The Wild Heiress Chapter 193
Chapter 193MARCUSI sat in my sitting room with the phone in my hand and the television still showing Love Island on mute and the bag of crisps on the cushion beside me.I thought about Damien.Sixteen years of knowing him. Fifteen of them as the person he showed the world, the CEO, the strategist, the man who had built something significant and maintained it with the specific discipline of someone who understood exactly what he was maintaining it from.The one before that—the year I had known the other version, the one that had needed to negotiate a departure, the one that had required a specific kind of oversight commitment as the price of being allowed to leave—that year lived in its own compartment and had stayed there for fifteen years.Until today.I looked at the window.The woman with the dog was gone. The delivery vehicle was gone. The street was doing its ordinary things.They had Damien.The accountability concern was something I didn't have the access level to understand,

Chapter 192MARCUS"Or," Robert said, "the shot was for show. And the extraction was always the plan."I looked at him."The live stream," Robert said. "Hundreds of cameras. Everything going out in real time. If you shoot someone on a live stream and take them away, you've made a statement. Not just to the target. To everyone watching.""A message," Thomas said."A message to whoever might be considering—whatever the thing is that Damien was apparently supposed to be doing," Robert said.I sat with that.Robert was not wrong.I pressed both hands over my face briefly."The police," Thomas said. "They want to talk to family and friends. They're setting up interviews. We should go—even if it's just to support Adriana, we should be there.""Yes," I said. "We should go.""Do you know anything that you can tell them?" Thomas said. "About who might have—""No," I said.Thomas and Robert looked at each other."Marcus," Thomas said."I said no," I said. "And I mean it. There are things that i

Chapter 191MARCUSI had been watching Love Island for forty minutes before the knock came.This was not something I advertised. The version of Marcus Bellamy that existed in professional contexts—in boardrooms, at charity events, in the orbit of Damien Castellan's world—was not a version that watched reality television on a Wednesday afternoon with a bag of crisps and strong opinions about the authenticity of various contestants' emotional responses.The version at home was different."Zach is absolutely not straight," I said, to the television. "Look at him. Look at the way he looks at Bryce. That is not how straight men look at each other."The television did not respond."And Bryce is worse," I said. "At least Zach is trying. Bryce isn't even trying. Bryce is just—" I gestured at the screen. "He's just being Bryce, which is the most obviously gay thing anyone has done in the history of a show that is ostensibly about heterosexual coupling."The television continued to show Zach an

"Which is an advantage.""Yes," he said.I looked at Yusuf."I'm going to find him," I said.He looked at me for a long moment."Yes," he said. "I believe you."The police arrived at two fifteen.Three officers—two in uniform, one not, the one not wearing a suit that communicated detective. They moved through the hospital entrance with the specific purpose of people who had a location and were moving toward it, and they found us in the waiting area with the efficiency of people who had been given a description."We're looking for individuals who were present at the accident on Highway 7," the detective said. "We have information that several of you were at the scene."He looked at Kieran first. Then at Yusuf. Then at me."I was at the scene," Kieran said. "I was in the vehicle that was involved in the accident.""And the woman? The pregnant woman who was transported here?""She's being admitt

Chapter 189ADRIA"He turned around because he chose to," I said."Because I asked him to," Yusuf said."Yusuf," I said. "He made the decision. Whatever you said, whatever you asked—he made the decision."He looked at his hands."He told me to bring them here first," he said. "He said bring them to the hospital and come back for him. That's what he said. Come back for him." He looked at the entrance. "He was standing on a road waiting for me to come back.""I know," I said."Someone shot him while he was waiting," he said."I know," I said.Kieran was beside me and he was very quiet and the baby in his arms was making the soft, exploratory sounds of someone new in the world who had not yet understood that the world had sounds of its own that were more complicated."Who did this?" Kieran said. His voice was quiet. The specific quiet of something contained.I looked at Yusuf."Who could have done this?" I said.Yusuf looked up from his hands."He has enemies," he said. "That is not an u

Chapter 188ADRIAYusuf came through the hospital entrance first.He was moving with the specific urgency of a man who had somewhere to be immediately after delivering his current passengers—the forward-leaning efficiency of someone whose next task was already running in his mind while he completed the current one. He had his phone in his hand and he was looking at it with the focused attention of someone checking a route or a message.Behind him, Kieran.Kieran came through the automatic doors moving wrong. Not dramatically—he was upright, he was walking, he was holding the baby against his chest with both arms in the careful, absolute way of someone who had been given something fragile and had made a decision about it—but wrong in the specific way of a person managing multiple physical injuries through sheer decision.
