We could simply call the police and claim self-defence, but that wasn’t guaranteed a free and clear for her. It would be a lot of hell for her and Austin. I could see the headlines now, alleged drug kingpin murdered in self-defence by wife in front of their child. Depending on how it went down it could get very, very messy. Plan A was her best shot. She had an alibi and he had more enemies than you could count. It was the best way. We’d just have to figure a way to handle Austin so he wasn’t scarred for a lifetime.
Fuck, so many problems. At least Gabriel Salvatore had screwed her for the last time and now life could go on.
Entering the kitchen, I sighed. It was going to be a lot of work to get the kitchen cleaned of blood. It was a bugger to get out, especially since it had seeped into the cracks. Well, whatever. First thing was first – body disposal.

Thank god, Austin had cried himself to sleep in my arms on the sofa. I wanted to take him upstairs, but was too scared I’d wake him to attempt it. An hour ago, Constantine left the house claiming to be back by morning. He was going to take care of everything.
Unfortunately, I didn’t think that he’d be able to fix what Austin had seen. And how in the hell would I be able to convince Austin to keep what he’d seen to himself? Maybe I should have called the police and come clean. Constantine insisted his way was the best way and all I could do was trust he was right. Gabriel had come packing heat; his intentions were far from pure. He’d hired Constantine to kill me – he must have decided to do it himself.
I did what I had to do. I kept telling myself that, over and over, but it didn’t take away the guilt. I should never have shot him in front of Austin, but I hadn’t seen Austin until it was too late.
Dammit, how was I ever going to live with myself?
