“Good. Now let’s talk about relationships outside our fake marriage. I don’t care who you’re dating, but you can’t flaunt a mistress in front of the outfit.”
“Don’t worry, sweetheart. I’m not dating anybody.”
“Really? What about Shay? I thought for sure you’d be with her forever.”
“You sounded jealous twelve years ago when you found out about her, Aurora. And you sound jealous now,” I point out.
She glares at me. “I am not jealous.”
“There’s no need to be. Shay died seven years ago,” I say flatly.
Aurora gasps, her eyes widening. “What? What the hell happened?”
“A made man with a grudge. He killed her to get to me. I made sure he suffered for it.”
I don’t feel guilty as I say the words. I buried all the feelings of guilt a long time ago.
She tilts her head to the side, studying me. “You sound unaffected, but I know you’re really not.”
“It doesn’t matter anymore. Can we move on to your stupid list?”
“My list isn’t stupid,” she murmurs. “I’m done with my requests. Do you have anything to add?”
“What about the fucker you’re seeing?” I ask.
“Who?”
“The personal trainer, Aurora. Don’t play dumb.”
Her eyes narrow. “How long have you been watching me for?”
Over the past few years, I’ve checked in from time to time. In the past two months though, I’ve had at least one man tailing her movements around the clock. Which is how I know about the personal trainer.
“It doesn’t matter. What do you plan to do about it?” I ask her. “I could always get rid of him for you. A bullet in the heart should do it.”
“You won’t hurt him,” she orders.
I fix her with a hard gaze. “Try me.”
“Nico, don’t. I already ended things with him, anyway. So just let it go.”
“Say please,” I tell her.
“What?”
“You heard me, sweetheart. Say please, and I won’t kill him.”
“I’m not going to beg you not to commit murder,” she says stubbornly.
“That’s too bad, then. You must not value his life very much.”
Her jaw clenches. It takes a few moments, but she finally says the words.
“Please, don’t kill him.”
It sounds like she’s chewing hot coals, but at least she gets it out.
“That’s good, sweetheart. That’s great practice for the future.”
