“Delphine’s story of wanting to heal you was missing something. Curse on her family? If that was true, why not go to New York years ago and heal you?”

“Good point.”

“Now, perhaps she has Baba’s talent and can see visions of the future. Maybe, she understands that healing you is a huge card that she would not want to play until it would be truly impactful.”

I pursed my lips.

“Regardless, mysh, magic cannot battle two cartels and a billionaire who will kill as many Haitians as he wants for a good heart.”

I sighed. “But the Lion could battle them.”

“Not just the Lion, mysh. The Mouse most definitely would battle.” Kaz placed a thick finger in front of Emilio and our son snapped his view to it and grabbed the digit fast. Soon those tiny fingers were squeezing Kaz’s fingers.

The Lion chuckled. “My cub will run our empire on a throne of skulls, blood, and violence.”

I rolled my eyes. “Emilio is going to be a playwright or author. Award-wining and celebrated by the world.”

Kaz frowned at me.

I winked at him. “All of the violence and death ends with us, baby. We will not pass it on to our kids.”

“Nonsense.” He waved me away and returned to playing with Emilio.

I let out a long breath. “Kaz?”

“Yes, mysh?”

“What are we going to do?”

Kaz put his attention back on me. His expression shifted to neutral.

I raised my eyebrows. “Are we going to let J.P. broker the deal? It keeps everything calm. A new heart will put it all back in motion. The Colombians, Mexicans, and bankster get what they want.”

Kaz remained silent and watched me some more.

I shrugged. “Say something.”

“You are my moral compass, mysh.”

“So?”

“You are also going to be my wife very soon.”

“O-kay.”

“What does that mean, Emily?”

“We will love each other forever.”

“And you will rule by my side forever too.”

I tensed.

“You are no longer pregnant, so what are we going to do?”

“That’s not a fucking answer, Kaz. I want you to clearly say what we should do.”

He smirked. “Stop cursing.”
