In less than half a second.
No longer than one blink of an eye.
Had I not known she had been next to me earlier, I would have always thought she was right in front of Tisha with the point of her gun pressed against his cheek.
My heart. . .raced.
Drumming a beat of fear I had never known.
I held my breath.
Tisha didn’t move.
He didn’t even blink.
Valentina parted her lips.
And my mouse’s voice turned so icy a shudder ran down my spine. “Say that again for me, Tisha.”
Somehow he kept his composure with the gun pressed against his face.
Emily raised her voice. “I didn’t hear that. Did you say that you were on a break tonight? Vacation? A little self-care moment due to the stress of the job?”
“There is no excuse, Emily. I fucked up. I put Kazimir, you, and everyone else at risk.”
“But did the woman get out with you or did you leave her ass in the stall? How fast did you try to get us help?”
He swallowed. “I helped her climb out of the window.”
Tisha. . .
The tension in the hallway grew thick.
Valentina didn’t even look that way. Clearly, she had been through enough tonight. There was no way she could watch Emily kill our cousin.
I couldn’t either, but I refused to look away.
Did I want him to die?
No.
Never.
But what could I do?
I put a ring on my mouse’s finger for a reason, not just because she was beautiful, not due to her sweet pussy or her big heart.
I made her mine because she was smart, deadly, and acted fast in the toughest times.
She knew when to lead.
She knew when to listen.
She brought joy during horror. She was my light in the darkness.
And I trapped her to me long ago. . .because she saved me in New York. . .when many had plotted my death. . .and since we’ve been together, she has continued to save my life and make it better.
That meant that if she thought Tisha should die. . .I would stand by it.
