It was obvious that whatever Bray had to tell Connor, he did not want to do it in front of me. Which is why I was more determined to stay put and hear whatever it was. How bad could it be? Weâre literally in hiding with bounties on our heads.
âIâm only telling you this because I owe you for Dublin,â Bray says to Connor, who doesnât say a single word. I still havenât asked what happened between the two of them. I really need to do that.
âI got you these. Use them only if necessary.â He hands over two passports and four credit cards. And then he pulls out a phone. âThereâs a preloaded location on here that will lead you to a carâagain, only if necessary,â Bray says.
Connor nods, taking the items. âWhatâd you find out?â
âI made a call to Jimmy. He says your parents are starting to go through flight logs. Itâs only a matter of time before they realize you arenât in the States. Jimmy thinks the first place theyâll look is Dublin. So thereâs time still.â
Connor nods again. âWhat else?â
Bray looks at me and then back to Connor. âTheyâve increased the bounty to twenty million.â
âOn me?â Connor asks.
âOn her.â Bray gestures in my direction.
âPfft, Iâm worth way more than twenty. Tell them to try again.â My statement is met by a set of matching glares.
âThis isnât a joke, Aurora. The OâMalleys are not a joke. If theyâre looking for you, itâs only a matter of time before they find you.â
âThey would have to get to me first. In case you havenât noticed, weâre locked up in a compound,â I point out.
âDonât underestimate them. That will be your first mistake,â Bray tells me.
âWhat will be my second?â
âGetting caught,â Bray says. âThe things they do to women⦠you donât want that. The world doesnât want that, because if they get you, it will start World War III.â
âTheyâre not going to get her,â Connor grunts out, his hand gripping mine tighter.
âRight, nice chat. If anyone asks, you didnât get that shit from me. But she is my cousin, Connor. Anything happens to her because of you or your family, this agreement between us is off the table. I will come for you.â Bray leaves with that warning.
âWhatâs the agreement?â I ask Connor as soon as Bray is gone.
âThere is no agreement. He thinks he owes me because I saved his brother one time.â Connor shrugs.
âWhy, though? Why did you jump in to be Leviâs white knight?â I ask.
Connor chuckles. âIâm nobodyâs white knightâwell, Iâd be yours but youâd never need me to be. I saved him because my cousin happens to like the asshole. A lot.â
âKenny?â I ask as a fresh wave of guilt washes over me.
âNo, I have more cousins, Aurora. Most of them in Ireland. Aisling, whoâs in Dublin, met Levi and became⦠fixated on him. He, of course, doesnât know that part because she wouldnât acknowledge it to anyone. But when he was in trouble, she came and asked me to help him.
