SPADEI was confused, but Robyn’s idea made a good point. I rubbed my eye. “I don’t know, baby. Just thinking about all of this makes my head hurt.”“I think they’re coming for you next.”I stared at her in horror. “What made you say that?”“You have a lot to lose now. Expect a visit from the men in black. My guess? They already knew about Barbie, and that we took her from the apartment. She knows a lot about the mafia that can implicate and destroy Abraham. She’s a loose end.”“Okay, baby. You’re scaring me.”“I’m also curious about Barbra,” said Moses. “For a girlfriend of a mafia member, who’s not even in a rank. How does she know a lot about Abraham and the meetings?”“Jesus Christ.” My blood turned into ice as I stared at Moses. “You’re right, sir.” I turned to Linden. “Maybe what she said is scripted. Maybe even her pregnancy report is bullshit. How did Katie find her easily? It was like she was leading us there to a trap.”“We don’t know that.” Linden shrugged. “Maybe you shou

ROBYNOn my first day at my new job, I already felt like an outsider in the office, an outcast, an alien, and underqualified. I had no friends. I didn’t know anyone. I was like starting all over again.During the office tour, the orientation of the Kross Foundation, and a brief introduction, I saw how they looked at me and the judgment in their eyes. “I know what you’re all thinking right now, that I don’t fit for the job. Maybe, but we’re all here to do good, to make a difference, and to help people, but it won’t be a success if we don’t help each other and if we don’t work as a team. That’s all. Thank you.” I went back to my office. It felt weird having my own office as big as the living room in the house. I had my own assistant, Violet Moon. She seemed kind and friendly, or maybe because she was only a few years older than me, or maybe in her early thirties. I might not be qualified. Maybe I didn’t belong here, but I came here to work, not to be belittled, so for now, I tolerate

ROBYNPiper didn’t call me unless it was an emergency. We chatted earlier, and she and Gio were going to tell her parents about their engagement. Now that she was calling me, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something went wrong.“Hey, Pip. I’m about to go to bed. Can we talk tomorrow?” “No, bitch. I need you right now.” Her voice cracked, and she sounded upset, and maybe she had been crying.I paused. My stomach rolled. “Hey. Are you okay? Where are you?”“The dinner was a disaster. My parents found out about Gio.” “How?”“I had to tell them that Gio is a Siciliano, and that I wanted a wedding in Italy, and Dad just went ballistic.”“Oh, God. I’m so sorry, Pip. Where is Gio now?”“I don’t know. He left, and he didn’t go to my apartment. Maybe he went back to Italy.” She sniffled. “I don’t know. Can I come over?”I looked at my semi-naked husband on the bed, rubbing his chin. I shrugged. “Of course. Come over to the house.” I hung up the call and crawled into bed to straddle him. “

SPADE“Tell me she’s with Robyn right now.” Panic was deep in Gio’s voice. “I’m fucking worried that someone might take her. She’s not in her apartment. I went back to her parents’ house, her mother said she took the car and left.” Gio must be going crazy right now. I had to help her. I instantly saw myself in his situation when Robyn and I had an argument before she and Piper almost got abducted. I’d been in that situation many times, and even the strongest man would break when he thought he was going to lose the love of his life. It was terrifying.“Oh, man. She’s pissed off. She’d been crying. I think she thought you abandoned her. She said you drove off and left.” I bit my inner cheek to hold my laugh. “I know what I did, but I have reasons. Her father can insult me as long as he wants, but not Piper. She’s a good woman. She respects and loves her parents. She didn’t deserve that insult.” “Come to the house. She’s here. She’s been crying, Gio. She’s a mess, and I let her get dr

ROBYN“Should I check on my best friend?” Tiptoeing, I cupped his rugged face with five o’clock shadow overdue for a trim. He was still handsome, though. God, I loved this man so freaking much. “Fuck no. Don’t be a cockblocker. I’m sure she’s fine.” Humor flashed in his eyes, kissing my lips. “Let’s go to bed.”“Okay. Give me two minutes. I’m going down to the kitchen.”“Are you hungry? I can fix you something to eat.” This was what I loved about him. He didn’t care even if someone could cook for us. He’d do it by himself.“No. I just need to rehydrate.”“Baby, what are you doing? You know there’s water and something to drink in the kitchen on this floor.”Okay, he got me. “Then I’ll go there.”He chuckled, shaking his head. “Let’s go.” I hadn’t approved his proposition, but he had already taken my hand, dragging me outside the room. “You don’t have to come with me.”He hadn’t let go of my hand until we made it to the kitchen. “No, but I feel like you’re planning something fishy.”
