Chapter 13

Doe

Dr. Ramirez was already waiting for us when Lorik parked the car inside the garage. As soon as the door opened, I got out, and the doctor grabbed my wrist to check my pulse.

“I’m fine, Doctor.”

He ignored me and flashed a light into my eyes before placing a stethoscope against my chest.

“Doctor, I said I’m fine.” I looked at Karina, her eye already black and swollen. “Please. Take care of Karina first.”

He took my hands in his. “Is this your blood?”

“No.” I jerked my hands away. “It’s not. And I said I’m fine. Karina is the one who needs help.”

She held up her hand as Lorik placed his arm around her waist, supporting her. “Let the doctor do his job, Doe. I’m sure my brother gave him orders to tend to you first.”

The doctor tried to reach for my face, but I shoved his hand away. “I said I’m fucking fine.” My voice was laced with anger, my heart beating its way up my throat. “For the love of God, would you please take care of Karina? She’s the one who got hurt.”

The doctor stilled, uncertainty clouding the gold specks in his eyes as he peered from me to Lorik. Lorik nodded.

Dr. Ramirez glanced at me then picked up his medical bag. “Take Karina to your room.”

Lorik waved toward two security guards who had just secured the garage door. “Take Doe up to Antonio’s room, but make sure you sweep it first. Make sure the door is locked and you stay outside that motherfucking door, you hear me? I don’t care if you need to take a piss, you do not fucking move.”

They nodded, but when they tried to take me by the elbows, I jerked free. “Who is Mancuso?” I asked staring straight at Lorik. “You said what happened back at Vertigo had Mancuso written all over it. Who is he?”

He rubbed the back of his neck, looking in every direction except at me. “Let’s just say he’s not a close friend of the family.”

“What does that mean?”

“Look, you can ask Antonio when he gets back.”

“I’m asking you now.”

Lorik frowned. “Well, well, well, look who grew a pair of balls.” He shrugged. “I guess that’s what happens when you’re surrounded by a bunch of mobsters.”

I squared my shoulders. “Lorik, it wasn’t Mancuso—whoever he is—back at the club. The guy…the guy I…” I struggled to say it out loud.

“The guy whose throat you slit.” Lorik completed my sentence for me.

My heart pounded. “Yes. He works for Vadik. Well, worked for Vadik. He has finally made his move. His first move in getting me back.” My voice trailed off, and I dropped my gaze to the ground. Ice was slowly spreading through every bone in my body. The thought of Vadik getting close to me, getting close to the people I’d grown to love, was turning my stomach inside out.

“Listen,” Lorik stepped closer, “Antonio will be home soon. Then we’ll figure this all out. But one thing I can tell you is I know Antonio.
