ROBYN

I did research online to see if I could be framed for being involved in organized crime by a powerful, rich person, and the results were staggeringly scary. So I decided to call Piper’s father, who was a defense lawyer.

“Mr. Shale, I’m sorry to call you this early. I want to ask you something, but can you keep it between us? I don’t want Pip to worry about me.”

“What’s going on, Rob? Are you in some kind of trouble?” I heard the worry in his voice. Henry Shale was a good defense attorney, and he was also a good father.

“Not right now, but let’s say someone, a rich guy, threatens to sue a friend of mine for stealing millions of dollars, but she’s innocent and did not steal anything. He also said that he can frame her to be involved in some dangerous mobs. Is it possible he can manipulate some evidence, like maybe tamper with it?”

“Rob, come to my office this morning, and let’s talk about it.”

“It’s not me, Mister Shale.”

“Rob, you’re a good woman, but a terrible liar. Who threate

    SPADERobyn didn’t even try to hide the anger blazing in her eyes. She really hated me. I couldn’t blame her. I lied to her, blackmailed her into marriage, put her life at risk, and used her to my convenience. I also felt that she still cared about me, but it might not be for long. We arrived at the summer house in Sicily. It was more of a safe house, per se, owned by Moses Braddson. “Oh, my God, babe! Look at the view.” Piper couldn’t help but gush at the clear blue ocean on the horizon. “It’s breathtaking.”I also rented a yacht so that we could get away from the chaos for a while. I didn’t just bring them here for vacation. They were here for their safety when Terzo and the Osmium promised me their protection. Robyn and Piper didn’t have to know that I had men watching them 24/7. Robyn wrapped her arms around her best friend. “I’m glad you’re okay.”“I still remember what happened before things went black. I’m so sorry, babe. You must have been terrified last night,” Piper said

    ROBYN“Of course, what is it?” He hadn’t said a word, and my heart had already begun racing. But I mean, what could be worse than being held at gunpoint with a flying bullet just mere inches from my head, right?He came to sit next to me, taking a deep breath. “I don’t even know where to start.”I turned to face him. “Why don’t you start from the beginning? Anyway, we’re still hours from arriving in Italy, right? So we have all the time in the world.”He nodded, seemingly nervous about what he was about to tell me. “While in college, I was an intern at Kross Industries, but not as an adopted son. No one knew about it outside the family. I kept it that way so that employees would see me as an intern. Just as I finished college, and eventually started working in finance. Then I met this girl.”So this was all about a girl. I wanted to roll my eyes.“Okay.” I wanted to be supportive and understanding. After what happened earlier, I couldn’t be mad at him any longer. He did what he could

    ROBYNI bit back the curse, fighting the urge to stop him and listen more to his poor excuses. I felt like he was still holding something back, and I wanted to open his layers and find out. I knew it would be challenging, but I started to care about him. Despite his triggering darker nature, I knew there was good within him. There was that light still engulfed in darkness. But I was still horror-struck by his confession. “Agh!” I dropped myself on the couch and curled up. “It’s already late. You’re tired, and I’m tired.” Piper yawned. That was the third time in a row. “I’ll keep the door open when you decide to sleep in my room. It’s more comfortable in bed, babe.”“Thanks, Pip.” I raised my hand, waving. “Turn off the light on your way. Love you.”“Love you, too. Good night.”Groaning, I punched the pillow and lay down. I wrapped my body with the blanket, trying to sleep, but my mind was still wide awake. “What the hell am I doing?” I threw the blanket away and grabbed my phone.

    SPADEMax just laughed as the elevator brought us back up to Piper’s apartment floor. “So what are you gonna say? Are you going to tell her everything that you lied to her? But in her defense, you’re actually obsessed with her, not just in a creepy way.”“And you’re still talking.” I stepped out first, fixing my jacket, and then I took a deep breath. The walk to the apartment door took time than I left earlier. And I felt suddenly nervous.“You can do it, bro.”“Easy for you to say.”“Then next time just tell her what you feel. Stop making stories. The key to a successful relationship is trust, open and honest communication, and you have to be willing to sacrifice and compromise, and most importantly, respect.”“All right, Erik Erikson.” I exhaled and knocked on the door. “Robyn, it’s me.” I waited and counted to ten. Nada. I knocked louder this time. “Robyn, open the door, please? All I need is two minutes. Then I’m going home.”Nada. Ziltch.Then I heard something knock off. Max and

    SPADE“That’s it?” Max stared at me in disappointment. “She said she needs time.” I ignored his gaze following me as I walked towards the elevator. “Why are you even questioning my decision?”“Because lately, you’re—” He shrugged. “I don’t know, man. I know there’s a huge part of you that still blames yourself for what Reid did to her, but he’s gonna be locked up for a long time. If you do something stupid like pushing your wife away, you just let Reid win because that’s what he wanted from the very start. He’d ruined your life for years. Don’t let him get into your head. You have to forgive yourself one way or another, that it wasn’t your fault.”9“That’s precisely my fault. I should have known he’d be released early. And she was attacked because I was involved with her. He chose her because he knew Robyn was my weakness.”He snorted, grabbing me by the arm. “So this is what it’s all about. “You’re pushing her way because she made you vulnerable. Man, it’s been years. You should mo

    SPADE “Watching her lying on the floor, unconscious, with blood on her head. I thought she was dead. And I froze. All I could think was losing her without telling her how much she meant to me because I trusted the people around her to protect her. As her husband, I failed her miserably.”“You didn’t fail, son. What happened was not your fault. Don’t blame yourself for everything that happened with the people around you. Robyn did not even blame you. And you couldn’t have known he was out and ready to commit another crime.”“That’s it, because I wasn’t too vigilant. For the past weeks, she’d been abducted, and now she nearly got a cracked skull. No matter how I tried to protect her, she still got hurt.”“So, hurting her would accomplish you what exactly?” Max shrugged.I scowled at Max.“Do you think telling her lies would keep her safe?” Lex’s eyes narrowed at me.“Or maybe if she stays away from you, it would make her safe?” Max looked more confused, shifting his gaze between me and
