I’d told Carla to meet me at my office at the club that night if she wanted money. I hadn’t specified for her to come alone but wasn’t surprised that she didn’t bring Jacob with her. Alessio was just heading out when Jordan, one of the newer recruits, brought Carla back to me.

“Hang on,” I said to Alessio, trusting him more than Jordan. “Can you check her for wires and then hold on to her purse while we talk?”

“I’m not leaving my purse with him,” Carla said with a scowl.

“Give it to one of the dancers then. I don’t care,” I said.

I could’ve checked her for wires myself, but the thought of seeing even a fleeting glimpse of the intimate body parts of my brother’s mother disgusted me. Carla headed into my office with Alessio.

“Hey! What are you doing?” she snapped when he reached for her shirt.

“He’s checking to see if you are wearing a wire or have any other way of recording. If you don’t want to talk with me, he can see you out now. If you do, hold still and let him check.”

Alessio mumbled something in Italian about how I would’ve enjoyed this job back in the day, but I ignored him. Carla appeared to consider my offer then held her arms out to allow Alessio to search her. I focused on my phone while he quickly confirmed she had no method of recording our discussion.

“I’ll be right outside,” he said, reaching for her purse.

She scowled but let him have it.

“Have a seat,” I said, once we were alone.

“No thanks.”

I sighed and leaned against my desk. “After you lied to me and attempted to swindle me, I don’t have the highest regard for your character. If I’m going to give you money, I want to ensure you’re spending it on Jacob.”

“He’s my son. Of course, I’ll spend it on him. I only want what’s best for him.”

“You can’t blame me if I need some oversight. You’ve given me no reason to trust you, and, after all, Jacob is my brother, so I have a vested interest in his wellbeing.” I paused. “Here are my terms. I will give you cash payments every few months. I want to be able to spend time with Jacob on occasion, though.”

“I’m not leaving you alone with him.”

“That’s fine. You can stay with him. And you can tell him I’m a family friend.”

“You won’t tell your father?”

“No. I won’t say anything about it to him, unless I have a reason to. If he sees you or Jacob with me, I could tell him I’m the boy’s father. He’ll believe I wanted to keep it secret so Giada wouldn’t know. If you ever choose to tell him he is the father, I will, of course, deny ever having any inkling of that being the case.”

Carla rolled her eyes dramatically. “Why would I ever tell him?”

I shrugged. “I don’t know, but that is why Alessio searched you. So that you have no proof of what I do or don’t know.
