CHAPTER TWELVE

Emma

Sometimes, your life turns on a dime. A fraction of a second when someone blows a red light, hits your car, and paralyzes you. The stroke of luck that wins the lottery, or a stroke of chance that diagnoses cancer. Eyes cast down in a car on a cell phone, and a fatal car accident as a result. The entire existence of our lives could change at literally any moment.

Mine changed in just one night. The night I said yes to sleeping with Mario Rossi. If only… if only I’d stayed away from him.

If only I’d left that morning and never looked back.

If only I hadn’t walked straight into trouble.

His voice brooks no argument. “Tell me now, before I interrogate you in front of everyone. Who hit on you outside that club?”

I didn’t want to tell him before, because betraying the secret would mean telling him who I worked with. One phone call, one stroke of a keyboard, and my boss’s name would be right there in the open next to mine. But now… now that he knows who I am, what do I have to lose?

“It was… it was my boss. Lance Grady.” I shake my head. Mario makes eye contact with Romeo. It’s a knowing look, and I wonder what exactly it is he thinks. I go on, explaining the situation, because I’m starting to realize I’m up shit’s creek without a paddle, and I may have to rely on these guys to bail my ass out. What will happen when Grady figures this all out?

“He asked me for lunch earlier. He knew I was at the club, not sure how but I can surmise. And I guess he made assumptions that if I were the kind of girl who’d go into a sex club…”

My voice trails off. I can still see the sex-crazed venom in his eyes, still hear his oily proposal. I can still feel his snake-like fingers around my wrist. He’d clearly had something to drink and wasn’t thinking straight.

“Motherfucker,” Mario mutters, shaking his head.

Romeo looks at Mario as one might look at a teen out past curfew. “Fucked him up, didn’t you?”

“Of course I fucked him up. He was assaulting her!”

“And didn’t matter who he was,” Orlando says on a sigh. “Son of a bitch assaulted a woman, deserved a good, old-fashioned Rossi family beat down.”

I can’t tell if he’s being sarcastic, or making excuses for Mario.

“You’d have done the same,” Mario mutters.

Tavi nods. “Fuckin’ have done the same, but then I had to mop up the goddamn mess I made, didn’t I?”

The others groan. Santo, the guy with the beard who looked momentarily human when he was chasing their adorable niece, grins. It’s the sort of grin that makes a chill run down my spine.

“So, you fucked him up. We find out now he’s a cop. Did he see who you were?”

Mario shrugs. “Don’t know.”

He looks to me next. “Did he know you had anything to do with Mario?”

I shake my head. “Definitely not.
