SPADE“Shall I call you Hanna or Edith, or do you prefer the Broker?” I tried harder to calm down before I could choke her to death. She could probably kill me in this very room in less than a minute, or shoot me while I walk to her porch. I would bet my assets that man was working for her. They were not married. Instead of answering me, she patted me for weapons. I expected nothing less. Then she found my phone, inspected it before giving it back to me. “Let’s talk in the kitchen,” she said in a perfect American accent.I followed her towards the hallway, into the spotless white kitchen. Once we got there, she filled the kettle with water, put it on the stove, and turned on the fire. She was standing across the island while I was on the other side. When she opened the drawer, I felt I knew what would come next. I’d seen this scene many times in the movies. I still wished I was wrong.“If you have weapons in the drawers, I didn’t come here to die. I’m unarmed. I’m here to do busine

ROBYN“You’re giving me a headache!” Piper yelled at me. “Just jump into the pool.”I stopped pacing and faced her with Gio lying on the chaise lounge. “I’m worried.” “Sorry, Mrs. Kolby.” Gio smiled and shrugged. “I’m literally disabled right now.” “Why are you so formal?” Piper chuckled at him. “Call her Robyn or Rob.” “How long has it been?” I checked the time on my phone. It had only been an hour and a half. “He hasn’t called.” “Which are you worried about? That the other woman will hurt Spade, or there will be Russian or Belarusian mobs waiting for him.” “You’re not helping, Piper,” Gio said. “Look, for my years of experience in that line of business, we don’t just shoot wealthy and powerful like Mr. Kolby, we make connections, and we check the man first, or we’re in deep trouble. He’s gonna be fine. Maybe they’re still talking, or maybe he went somewhere else after the meeting. In my opinion, meetings like that don’t take ten to fifteen minutes.” “Look who’s not helping,” P

SPADEHow she narrated what happened to her that night was different from the day she told us. It was difficult to listen to. Maybe because my feelings for her weren’t as deep as how I feel for her today.I mean, I was crazy over her, but right now, I was sure about why she meant more than anything to me. We were entwined by a sacred bond. And I didn’t know what I would do if something happened to her in my watch. It would shatter me and break me into pieces. The silence between us as we both headed to bed stretched until we were both inside the duvet. Without a word, she turned her back on me, and it felt like someone just stabbed me in the chest.Letting go of a heavy breath, I slipped one arm under her pillow with the other over her waist, pulling her close to me.“Don’t wanna hear about the meeting today?”“No.”I chuckled. “Well, that’s first.” When I heard nothing, I spoke again, “You’re upset with me about the unexpected visit of Dr. Meyers. I called her after your nightmare.

SPADEFrom a completely stone-hard and insensitive person, Robyn changed me. She changed me to be a good person. I felt whole again. I started to trust and reconnect with people other than my family. I started to feel. And it was all because of her. The ride to the hospital was a blur. Silence crackled, and it was deafening, ringing in my ears. There was a moment when I wished I had insisted on going with them. I had so many regrets in my life, but this one hurt the most. I felt like someone just stabbed me in the back and left the knife there that I couldn’t reach to pull out. It was unbearable.All I could think about was her, the pain she had to endure, the pain that she didn’t deserve. How she entrusted her life to me, to us, and yet we failed to protect her. I could never forgive myself for that. My heart hurt. I was furious and gutted, and I couldn’t do anything about it. As we arrived at the hospital, the same hospital where her mother was at this moment, I instantly saw Qu

SPADEI let go of a shuddering breath when the surgery was successful. She made it, but she wasn’t there yet. Although they managed to fix her liver, which was injured, there were possible complications after surgery. She was still in the recovery room, sedated, on oxygen under closed observation.It still broke my heart. I remembered when she asked me about betrayal. At this moment, I was the one who betrayed her. I betrayed her trust. I had billions, but I couldn’t even protect her. I even guaranteed her that no one would harm her while she was under my protection. It was complete bullshit. I couldn’t even look at her without feeling the shame and guilt as I watched her from the glass window.This one was on me.“She made it. That’s all that matters.” I felt the grip of his hand on my shoulder.“At what costs?” I looked at Linden. “How many more dangers does she have to go through to be with me? Am I worthy of all of her sufferings? Is this marriage worth saving at the cost of her
