CHAPTER NINE
"Shut up!" Marc's voice came out of the office with a ruthlessness Lessa had never heard before.
She froze. Jio's office door was ajar.
"What amazes me is you actually thought you'd get away with it." Jio's angry voice added. "Now that the old man is gone and his infant son's in charge, I can take what I want. Is that what you thought?"
She held her breath. This conversation was not intended for her ears.
"I didn't do anything," an unfamiliar man insisted.
Lessas breath rushed out her mouth, and she gulped in another. Her pulse raced. She had to move, and quietly. One slow step backward. Then another, eyes glued to the door.
"You left your mark on her, Tommy," Jio said. "Not only did you rape and kill one of my top money makers, but you were stupid enough to leave your calling card."
"That whore was yours? I swear I didn't know. I would never steal from you."
Oh crap, she thought as she slid her other foot back. One of his whores? Did that mean what she thought it meant?
"She was one of us," Jio said. "The girls count on me for protection. How do you think they'll react when they find out one of my own boys took her out?"
"I didn't know," the man she assumed was Tommy squeaked.
"Not good enough," Jio said. "Restitution must be made."
Lessa nearly lost her balance as her heel hit the bottom step. She stumbled to a stop and jerked her weight forward before she fell back.
"I'll work it off. Whatever she brought in, I'll make it."
"Not good enough," Jio yelled. "You're a fucking idiot. Do you honestly think you can pay this off? She was under Tazio protection, you asshole. We take care of our own."
"No, Jio," Tommy begged. "I swear I didn't know."
"Take care of him," Jio said.
She lifted her foot to the step and prepared to spin around as the door swung open and Marc loomed in the opening. Maybe he wouldn't see her. His gaze found hers instantaneously. She needed to run. Her mother's words echoed in her head, "Jiovanni's men are dangerous."
His face filled with fury and he stepped out of the office, his eyes never leaving hers. A part of her noted a short, fat man being dragged out by two other men, but she couldn't look away from Marc's dark eyes.
Jio followed behind them and summed up the situation with one word. "Shit."
Her brain struggled to make sense of it all, but she couldn't work past the unbelievable knowledge that they were going to kill this man, and they now knew that she knew.
It took Marc three measured steps to reach her. Fear prevented her from shrinking away. His hands gripped her arms painfully. "What are you doing here? How long have you been here?"
Jio stepped up next to him. "What did you hear?"
Jio's voice was calm. Too calm. That scared her more than the anger she could hear in Marc's tone.
Too much, but she couldn't say that. Marc's grip tightened when she refused to speak.
