“Have you found him yet?”

Georgina’s quiet question pulled Raimondi from his computer. She stood in the doorway, tall and regal. And with black circles beneath her dark brown eyes that attested to her sleepless nights. It had been over a year and still she thought of the man who’d betrayed her. Still she grieved her lost love. And now she grieved for Pauli, the cousin she’d adored. A six-year difference between them, he and Georgina had been playmates, with Pauli scrambling after his older cousin and making a nuisance of himself from the time he could walk. Georgina had loved every minute.

He opened his arms to her. She lifted her chin.

Raimondi sighed and dropped his arms. “No. Not yet. But we will.”

“You’re not going to hurt him, are you?”

“I should.”

“Don’t. Please. I asked you to find him for me, but not so you could exact some sort of revenge.”

“Then why do you want me to find him?”

“Because I want to talk to him.”

Raimondi shifted, his impatience hard to keep hidden. “Why would you have anything to say to him?”

Her eyes took on some of the fire that had been missing ever since David Hackett had walked out of her life. “I need him to look me in the eye and tell me he never loved me. I need him to tell me why he just left, walked out and never looked back. I need to hear that from him.”

Raimondi growled his dissatisfaction. Georgina was such an innocent. But there was no way she could not know what her father did for a living. She’d never mentioned it. From the time she was old enough to read the papers, she’d never brought up his job or the family business. She preferred to keep her head buried and think he was a very successful financial consultant. And Raimondi was happy to let her believe that.

Until now.

“He betrayed you. He betrayed this family.”

“Then he must have had a good reason.” She narrowed her eyes. “I just wonder, what could that reason be, Papi?”

“Do you really want to get into this?”

She stared at him, her frailness touching his heart even as his mind devised ways to cause David Hackett immense amounts of pain.

Tears flooded her eyes and she bit her lip. “It’s been over a year, Papi. And nothing. His partner’s in jail, his company has been sold, and no one knows where he is. It’s like he dropped off the face of the earth.”

“He left you a note.”

Her lips twisted. “That’s not good enough. I want to hear him say it. Tell me why he would walk away from me.” Her eyes issued a challenge. She thought he was the reason David had left. And she wasn’t completely wrong.

But there was no way she was talking to David before Raimondi killed him.

No way at all.
