Cora

What the hell was happening?

I’d known Penn’s wife.

She’d told him about me.

His name was Shane.

Drew wasn’t his brother.

Thomas had killed Lexy.

Penn was going to kill him.

He’d already killed Dante and Marcos.

Savannah was back.

So was Catalina.

Thomas had tried to shoot her.

Penn was alive.

And I was currently on my knees in the middle of Penn’s ginormous bajillionaire bathroom, dry-heaving into his toilet.

“I’m not a bajillionaire,” he said.

Annnnd apparently I was thinking out loud. Awesome.

He was sitting, his ass on the cold floor, his legs bent, his feet on the floor, his forearms resting on his knees. Not too close. Not too far away. He was just there in the most Penn Walker way possible.

“I made your wife a prostitute,” I announced.

“She wasn’t a prostitute, Cora. She never slept with anyone.”

“This is probably the completely wrong time to tell you this, but she brought home a lot of money. Said she had some rich guy on the hook.”

He flashed me a tight smile. “Nice to meet you. I’m the rich guy.”

“You were there?” I breathed, because at this point, anything was possible.

“No. But she used to video chat with me a couple times a week from that hotel. When she had to head back at the end of the night, she’d pull out cash from the ATM. In a roundabout way, I personally paid a few of Marcos and Dante’s bills there for a while.”

God. My head hurt. It was all too much.

I sighed. “No, you didn’t. I skimmed enough money off the Guerreros to cancel it out. Though you probably paid my phone bill a time or two.”

He grinned. “I can live with that.”

“I dropped her off at the hotel that night,” I blurted when I couldn’t hold it back anymore.

His heavy, blue eyes lifted to mine. “I know.”

“Did she…tell you why?”

“I dislocated both of Dante’s shoulders and then slammed them back in socket before I choked him out and left him for the smoke and fire to finish him off.”

Holy.

Shit.

This Shane guy was scary.

But I couldn’t say that Dante didn’t deserve it.

Guilt settled like a boulder in my stomach. “I thought she was going home. Dante came looking for her the next day, but I told him she’d run away. I never considered something had actually happened to her.”

“She was coming home. She’d booked a flight for the next morning.”

“She never made it,” I whispered, emotion bubbling to the surface again.

The first time Penn had told me about his wife, I’d thought it was crazy that he blamed himself for failing her when there was so obviously nothing he could have done. But right then, I got it. Dropping her off there, I’d failed her too.

Reaching over my head, I snagged a decorative floral towel that I knew without a shadow of a doubt Penn had not bought and used it to wipe my mouth.

“I have an extra toothbrush if you want it,” he said.

Fresh breath was the least of my concerns.

Settling on my butt, I mirrored his position against the bathtub for two.
