Eliza

The door of our penthouse swings open, and King stands there with a shirt tied around his shoulder and a limp when he takes a step inside. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what happened. Someone shot him, and I should be used to that, living the life I do. I am used to it. But I’m suddenly, horribly ashamed. This is my husband. He could have died. And he was never anything to me but someone to fuck with, to push his buttons and see if he’d snap. I don’t know the first thing about him. I never tried. Our marriage has been nothing but a game to me.

“King,” I say, going to him and pushing the door closed behind him. “Let me look at that.”

To my surprise, he jerks away when I try to touch him. “What did you do?” he asks, his voice harsh and cold.

“Me?” I recoil, my mind racing through possibilities.

“I asked you to talk to your father,” he grits out. “What did you tell him, Eliza?”

“What are you talking about?” I ask. “I did call him. We talked about the honeymoon and the apartment, and he said you were meeting at Jean-Jean…”

King stares into my eyes with so much hatred it makes me shrink inside. “And then his men fucking shot me,” he says. “I had to fucking kill someone today, Eliza. Do you know what that feels like? Do you think I like doing this shit? No, but I do it because I’m your fucking husband, and that’s what’s expected of me. It’s my fucking job. And it’s your job to be my wife, not get me fucking killed.”

I nod mutely, not daring to speak. His fury makes me tremble all the way to my core. He vibrates with it, with rage and danger, a force I can’t begin to fight. I know he’s in pain, and the sooner he’s out of it, the sooner he’ll be thinking clearly.

Before I have a chance to figure out a response, he pushes past me and limps into the bedroom. I hear him cursing, and maybe I should be afraid, but I’ve done this shit too many times. I sigh and head into the room after him.

“Let me look at your injuries,” I say.

“Oh, now you fucking care?” he snaps, kicking his shoes off and pushing them under the edge of the bed.

“I know you’re in pain,” I say. “So just let me look.”

“I’ll take care of it,” he grits out. With that, he goes into the bathroom and closes the door in my face.

Yeah, well, fuck him, too.

I wish I could walk away, but some part of me knows I can’t. I’m bound to this stubborn asshole forever. I try the door, but it’s locked.

“Come on, King. I didn’t tell my dad to put a hit on you,” I say. “I told him you were fine on the honeymoon, and that everything was good with us.”

He’s quiet for a minute, though I can hear him rummaging in the drawers.
