Chapter Fifteen

Luka

The morning after dinner, I’m standing in the kitchen with one of the worst hangovers of my life, moving slowly as I make myself a cup of coffee to ease the pain in my head. I should have known that trying to out-drink Leo was a bad idea, but as the younger brother, I’ve always had a bit of a complex about keeping up with him. The fact that he’s working for me now seems to be immaterial.

I gaze absently out the window when Anna approaches me, her arms crossed over her chest with an expression of worry and discontent.

Now isn’t the time for her to have a problem. I feel like garbage.

“Hey, we need to talk about something,” she says, making direct eye contact with me and keeping it until I turn my head away.

“Sure, what’s up?” I reply, a million possibilities racing through my mind as I rack my brain for an explanation. Was I an asshole the night before? I blacked out around two AM. Was I bothering Anna for sex or something? I wouldn’t remember.

“I’ve been debating telling you this all night, but I figured it was going to drive me crazy if I didn’t,” he begins.

My stomach drops. “What is it?” I ask, trying to mask my panic with a smile.

“I overheard what you guys were talking about last night, and it’s got me really worried, Luka,” she says, sitting across the kitchen island to put a bit of distance between us.

I freeze. Why was she listening? She knows it doesn’t concern her whatsoever. I’ve told her over and over not to involve herself with my work. What was she doing?

“Go on,” I say hesitantly.

“I’m just... I’m frustrated that I brought Rachel here for protection, and here we are having our lives threatened again over some property. It feels like exactly what we were running from before,” she continues, the anger radiating from her expression as she tries to remain level-headed. She’s been planning this conversation since dinner. I’m shocked she didn’t just wake me up in the middle of the night to shout at me.

“Well, first off, that wasn’t your conversation to be having, so you had no business listening in, but I forgive you for that,” I reply sarcastically.

“We live together, Luka! I hear stuff! If you want to have business meetings here, have them in your office if you don’t want me to know what you’re talking about. The wood floors and vaulted ceilings carry sound like crazy,” she responds.

I sigh heavily. “Okay, fine. I’m sorry you felt involved in my business meeting because you overheard something and got curious. What else do you want from me? I mean, since you’re telling me how to live in my own house,” I say, growing more agitated and impatient by the minute.

“I want to feel safe! Before you showed up selling drugs to my sister, we were doing just fine. We didn’t have a lot, but we weren’t constantly worried for our safety! How do you live like that?!” she shouts.
