CHAPTER NINETEEN
KIRA
Each step is painful. Each time I lift my leg, my stomach turns. What did Nicco do to me? My heart hammers, and my brain feels foggy. I reach Jasonâs room, and I cover my mouth with my hands. Nicco killed Lev. His anger was like something Iâve never seen before. He was livid over seeing Jasonâs affection toward me.
I squeeze my eyes tight as I try to piece everything together.
âHe isnât signing the papers because of you.â Nicco moves closer to me. âWhat did you say to him?â
I try to keep my shoulders relaxed, even as they want to rise like they can protect me. His hands curl around his cane, and I fear he might strike me. âNothing, I swear.â
âHe had agreed to sign them,â Nicco continues. Heâs watching me closely.
âI swear, Nicco, I have no idea.â The door is closed, the sound of the wedding on the other side. Itâs the sound of people, the sound of safety. Nicco turned the lock in the door the moment he had pulled me in here with a friendly smile but a warning in his gaze.
I had considered going after Jason, but that would be silly behavior. âYou were kissing him. Dancing with him.â
My heart rate spikes. âItâs all for show. We should get back to the wedding.â I take a step toward the door. Nicco flicks out his cane, cutting off my path.
âAre you fucking him?â His mouth twists with uncontained rage.
âOf course not.â I whisper the truth, yet my mind goes to Jason, pleasuring me.
âWhy get rid of Lev? You didnât want him to report to me?â he quizzes, still holding the cane in place.
âAsk Lev yourself. I never dismissed him.â
Nicco grins, and my skin crawls. âI know. I did ask him before I killed him.â
Blood rushes to my feet. Lev is dead. Why?
âHe was meant to stay with you, and he didnât,â Nicco answers my unspoken question. âWhere is Angel?â Nicco drops the cane, but Iâm under no illusion that I can leave, so I stay rooted to the spot.
âI donât know.â
He snorts. âLies.â Nicco eradicates the space between us. His free hand grips my shoulder. âI will find her and kill her too. I should have done it the first time.â
I pull out of his hold. âYou will not harm her.â
âOh, dear sister. You have forgotten your place.â Nicco reaches out and touches my hair.
My bones grow heavier when my brother glances at my lips.
âNicco,â I plead, hoping heâll come to his senses.
My plea only angers him. âDid you sleep with him?â
I shake my head as my vision wavers. Iâm thinking of Lev; Iâm thinking of Angel. How could he be so callous?
I donât have time to react before Nicco shoves me. Iâm sailing backward, not prepared, and I hit the ground hard. The back of my head takes the brunt, and the room falls into darkness. I get one final look at Nicco as he leans down beside me before everything disappears.
When I woke, I was alone in the room.
