Innocent or guilty, that night haunted him.

“Her death was why he drank.” And his drinking was why …

I suppress my shudder.

“Where were you when this happened?” Des asks. He still has a calm, lazy look about him, but I swear it’s just as much of an act as his poker face is.

“Home with a nanny. They liked to go on vacation without kids.”

I know how my life sounds. Cold and brittle. And that was the truth of it. Technically, I had everything—looks and money to go along with it.

No one would suspect that there were long stretches of time when I was left alone in my stepfather’s Hollywood mansion, with only a nanny and my stepfather’s driver to look after me. Business always came first.

No one would suspect that those long stretches of loneliness were so much better than when he returned from trips. He’d see me and fall right back into another bottle.

And then …

Well, those are more memories I try not to dwell on.

My skin still crawls anyway.

“Why was anyone trying to kill your stepfather?” Des asks, our game of poker utterly forgotten.

I shrug. “Hugh Anders liked money. And he didn’t care who his clients were.” Mafia bosses. Cartel lords. Sheiks with links to terrorist groups. He brought enough of his work home for me to see it all. “It made him a very rich man, and it made him a lot of enemies.”
