Every day for one week now I’ve done this. I pace the floor all night while she sleeps, nap while she’s showering. I live off of energy drinks and coffee, and she has never been safer. It was easier to watch her like this when I had the help of my soldiers, but with my father all but cutting me off, I have no support. Dominic doesn’t answer or return my calls. Sven continues to try to convince me to bring her back every time we speak, and Matty and Rome have been ordered not to speak to me.

I glance at her, seated in the recliner flipping through the stations on the television. She looks relaxed here. This safehouse is farther out from the city, north of Newark, but still close enough to be in the hot zone if the Italians find us. Dad had it set up to protect us as teens after Mom died. Only Dom and Sven remained at home with him. Matty, Rome and I were sent here with a nanny and a dozen or more gunmen until Dad was sure things were cleared up at home. I always took offense at that, Sven being younger than me, that he thought Sven was stronger somehow.

Willow looks up at me and tosses the remote onto the glass-top coffee table. “I’m bored.” Her attitude has bothered me for days, and now she’s really frustrating me.

“Yeah, well, go read a book.” I gesture with a thumb over my shoulder into the den. She complains every day about something, but at least this safe house has more than one room and clean water. The fridge is stocked, thanks to the grocery delivery service, and she has no need to be afraid or upset.

“Look, when can I get back to my real life? I want to paint and sculpt. It’s how I relieve stress.” Willow squirms, stretching her legs out before turning in the chair and curling them back to her chest.

I push the curtain aside with my finger and look out. I do this too, every day watching to make sure we’re not made. Then I turn to face her. “You’re not going back Willow. Reba Sanders doesn’t exist; she never did. Your art, your gallery, your career—it’s over. If you want to paint or sculpt, I can have some things delivered here, but until the heat dies down and we can get you a real new identity, you’re staying here.”

She scowls at me and clenches her jaw, her lips pursing into an angry pout. I don’t care if she likes it or not. It’s just what has to happen now to keep her safe. I move away from the window toward the kitchen. It’s time for me to check out back. Normally I make my rounds like this once an hour and she ignores me, but this time she follows me. Her feet slap against the floor angrily.

“I don’t want to feel like a prisoner. Matty told me that you were dangerous, just obsessed with me.
