Chapter Eight

“Tell me about your Uncle Bob. I hear he’s your guy?” I emphasized each word.

Gray glanced at me before turning his eyes back to the road. We were headed back to the Magari. Dinner had wrapped up rather uneventfully. Dessert had been served with coffee and a side of tension. Michael seemed to like the idea of having me as a daughter-in-law while Mary Francis was definitely set against it. Dead set against it. I felt comfortable in my analysis since she used those exact words.

Thankfully, Uncle Bob had my back. He raved for the rest of the meal about what a great addition I would make to the family since Gray and I did our thing and rarely came to Vegas anyway.

“I knew you’d like him,” Gray said.

“I loved him. How in the world is it possible that he and your mother are related?”

“God only knows. What do you want to know?”

“What does he do?”

“Nothing,” Gray said.

“Where does he live?”

“Nowhere.”

“Where does he go?” I asked.

“Everywhere.”

“I’m going to need more words, please.” I poked Gray in the side.

“Uncle Bob was a surprise to Grandma and Grandpa. He’s only ten years older than me. Mom was almost twenty when he was born.”

“You said ‘Mom.’”

“What am I supposed to call her?”

“You usually call her ‘Mother.’”

“That’s because that’s what she wants to be called. ‘There’s nothing wrong with being formal and polite’ is what she always says.” Gray mimicked his mother’s voice, high-pitched and elegant.

“Okay, so your mom was twenty when Bob was born. They seem so different.”

“They are night and day. Mom stands on formality and politeness and appearance while Bob likes to break the barriers,” Gray said.

“But what does he do?” I asked again.

“Nothing. He’s a jet-setting playboy. I hardly even know where he is in the world or who he is with. He hasn’t worked a day in his life. My grandparents died shortly after Bob turned eighteen, leaving him and Mom all of their money.”

“And your trust fund?”

“Yes. My siblings and I all have trust funds.” Gray recently came clean about his trust fund while we were in Chicago. I’d had no idea of the amount of money available to him at a moment’s notice. The revelation had shocked me. I still felt uncomfortable knowing I didn’t have to pinch my pennies any longer. I still would out of habit. Their money could just as easily be taken away. I glanced at my purse, feeling the weight of the American Express Black Card recently added to my wallet. I’d yet to use it, still making purchases on my trusty debit card with my small income from writing.

“If Bob is a playboy, how can he be your guy?”

“From the outside, he may look the part of the rich playboy, but he’s not. He’s got his fingers in any illegal activities wherever he is. He doesn’t necessarily take part, but he makes contact. He has to for his own safety.”

“Why? What do you mean?”

“He’s the brother-in-law of a major crime family.
