Chase was why. He’d set the trap with the job, hooked me with the high-end dining and trips, and then reeled me into his outrageous world.
Was it just that? Or was it more? God, it felt like more to me.
He’d confessed to Dawn that I was different.
But for how long? A year, or a couple of months?
Then girl number five would be moving into the house, or even worse, I’d be dead. I didn’t know how, but the fourth girl never survived and I wasn’t willing to hang around and find out why.
I love you, Jasmine.
He’d said that a lot in these past days, from when we made love in Paris to cuddling in my bed.
How could he love me and not tell me about Benny?
He knew Benny was my dad and never said anything.
Oh my god.
I glanced at my brother and Vivian.
Troy held her free hand as she drove. “Are you okay, sis?”
“Yes.” I twisted my lucky copper ring. “Umm . . . I have some really, really bad news and I don’t know how to say it.”
“Worse than you running with a knife from a rich white guy?” Troy smirked.
“Yeah,” I muttered. “Worse than that. Unfortunately, it affects all three of us.”
“Then maybe we should wait until we get home.” Vivian gave me a weak smile in the rearview mirror. “You know I can’t drive well with bad news.”
“Okay.”
Troy kissed her check. “I love you, Viv. You looked so cute as watch-out today.”
“You see how sappy your brother is?” she laughed.
“Yeah.” I slumped into the seat. “I see.”
