Page 89 of His Forbidden Obsession

“You would be a lot safer if we sent you somewhere else.”

“If my father can find me here, he can find me anywhere. I can help you. I have proven that today.”

“Don’t you want to have some kind of regular life?” Lorenzo asked.

Alina shook her head. “What I want is revenge. Once I get that, I want to go to college and get a degree in computer science. After that… I don’t know. I have money hidden away. Probably not enough, but I’ll see.”

Lorenzo gave a pointed look at Remington. He sighed. “We have plenty of money. We’ll help you pay for school if you help us with your computer skills.”

She smiled. “It is a deal.”

“I would like to go to school as well,” I said.

Lorenzo smiled. “We’ll work that out.”

Rafe shifted, accidentally bumping into Dante’s shoulder, and Dante sucked in his breath. I studied him and realized he did not look good.

“That’s it. You’re going to bed,” Lorenzo orders.

Dante glared at Rafe, and Rafe held up his hands. “I’m sorry. I just had a cramp.”

“I want you in my office.” Remington pointed to Rafe. “Believe it or not, he is actually pretty damn useful.”

Lorenzo grinned. “It‘s about time. I’ll get Dante settled. Are we staying here tonight?”

Remington nodded. “You’ve probably got a concussion. Landry assuredly does, and Dante shouldn’t be moved yet. We’re going to lay low right here.”

“Sure thing, boss.”

“Alina, there is a room set up for you. Our housekeeper will show you there.” Remington motioned for Rafe to follow him.

Lorenzo and I were helping Dante when the housekeeper came in.

“Are you going to be okay?” Niko asked Alina.

“I’m fine. Really. You two need some time together once you get this one settled.”

We did. We really did.

LORENZO

We settled my brother in bed. He grumbled about taking a pain pill, but I basically shoved it down his throat. His eyes were already drooping shut as Niko and I left the room.

“Come on,” Remington said. “You two can use this room.” He pointed across the hall.

“We’re going to see the doctor first,” Niko said

“I told you I’m fine.”

“No, you’re not. You got hit hard enough to knock you unconscious. I could tell you weren’t at full capacity earlier today.”

I huffed. “I’m feeling better now.”

Niko glared at me. “Look me in the eye and say that again. You need to be examined.”

“He’s just going to tell me I have a mild concussion. There’s no point in hearing that.”
