Stavros pushed himself off the balcony’s marbled ledge when Willem returned. He asked starkly, “Is she fine?” The guilt had not left him the moment he stepped out of the room and locked the door behind him. It had only taken a couple of minutes before he had made the decision to call Willem and ensure someone was there for Willow when she woke up.

Instead of answering, Willem said abruptly, “Make me understand something, Stavros. You are a long-time friend of mine, and I have always thought you were an honorable man. If you’re that worried about her, then why hurt her in the first place?”

“None of your fucking business.” Stavros’ gaze narrowed. “Unless of course your interest in her extends beyond the professional?” Jealousy twisted in his chest at the thought that Willem de Konigh might soon be the man to replace him in Willow’s life, and he said in a low, violent undertone, “Answer me, Willem. Do you want her that way?”

“And if I do?” Willem’s face remained impassive.

“Then our friendship is over.”

In response, the Dutch billionaire only lifted a brow. “Rather strong sentiments, don’t you think, for someone you supposedly no longer care about?”

“Stop twisting my words,” he exploded. “You think you know her, is that it? You think I’m being cruel?” Stavros laughed humorlessly. “She’s a bitch, Willem—”

“And since she is that, then why are we still talking about her? I’m not forcing you to make her a part of your life, am I?” Willem’s reasonable tone made Stavros want to punch some sense into him.

“Just don’t say I didn’t warn you,” Stavros snarled.

“Fair enough.” Willem turned away.

Before his friend could leave, Stavros heard himself say, “You haven’t told me how she is.”

Willem stilled.

When the silence between them persisted, Stavros said flatly, “I just want to know she’s…”

“She looked like someone threw her under the bus.” Willem turned around to give his friend a coldly pleasant smile. “That should ensure you a good night’s sleep.”

When Willem was gone, Stavros struck the walls with his fist. His knuckles started to bleed, but he ignored it, punching the wall again and again until the pain turned into numbness.
