Chapter Ten

Abi

He killed a man. He killed a man. He killed a man. It runs on an endless loop through my mind. He fucking killed him. Shot him dead in the chest. Twice. With an icy calm enough to chill anyone’s blood. Liam, the guy I thought a simple traveller with a great body is a stone-cold killer. A mercenary, maybe, because he said this is an off-the-books case. He’s been spying on Nick. What does he know about me? He said I’d lied. Does he know my past?

I shudder as I think of his hands on me. The same hands he used to fire the gun and kill a man were touching me. Making me tremble. I still want him on one level. In fact, deep down, in a tiny, scared part of my soul, I want him more because he saved me. He killed a man to protect me. It’s horrifying, and terrifying, but also strangely attractive, because he didn’t even blink or think about his own safety. After the shit I’ve been through with Nick, a man being so selfless is deeply attractive.

But then my rational mind comes to the fore, and I shudder at the horror of what I’ve witnessed. I won’t ever get those images out of my mind. And worse, he’s clearly done this before, probably many times. He’s a killer, and a liar, and he’s probably got the morals of an alley cat. The last thing I need is someone like him.

I can’t believe he lied to me. After what I’ve suffered at the hands of Nick, who lied and lied his way into my heart, before only showing his true colors when it was far too late for me to leave. Liam lying this way has ended anything between us.

My body might still yearn for him—the pathetic bitch—but my mind is made up. I don’t know who I can trust anymore, and Nick is clearly in a much deeper shitpile of trouble than I even began to suspect. He’s so far into the criminal underground he can hire guys to kill me because I’ll bet that’s what this man was. He’ll send more, I’m sure of it.

My brain begins to compute all the horrible permutations of this situation. Nick wants me back. I know this. He won’t kill me if I go crawling back to him. He’ll make my life hell, but he won’t kill me. If I keep running though, he’ll presumably simply keep on sending people after me, and that puts Liam in danger, too. Liam, who may be a liar, but whose death I don’t want on my conscience. It also puts Boo in danger. Maybe I should go back? If I go back, Nick might call off whoever is next on the list to come get me. I can leave Boo with Nancy and go home to face the music.

My stomach lurches at the thought of being in the same space with Nick again. It will be like escaping hell only to go back down into the fiery depths.
