CHAPTER 11

Evie

Alessandro smiles down at me, but it’s not a kind smile. It’s filled with malice. He’s caught me, and I’m all alone. The only thing I have going for me is the note I left for Liam, but it could be hours before he wakes up and sees it.

Stupid. How can I be so freaking stupid? I just wanted to see my parents again, and now they’re gone, and I’m stuck with the man who wants to kill me.

“So?” he says. “What’s new with you?” He crouches down to my eye level. His dark hair and eyes, which most women would find handsome, are a terrifying combination as he looks at me like he wants to eat me alive while slowly killing me.

All I can do is shake my head. If I try to speak, more tears will fall.

“No?” He shakes his head in mockery of me. “Because you see, Evie, I’ve heard some interesting news about you. Apparently, you got married. Congratulations, by the way.” His fake bright tone sends goosebumps over me. “But you can imagine my surprise when I discovered your new husband is none other than Liam Donovan, second in command in the Donovan mob. Now, how did that happen?” He makes a show of taking his gun out of his jacket pocket and gently tapping it against his leg.

Shit. I’m going to die today. Why else is Alessandro messing with me?

“You’re not going to talk? Well, then. Let me talk for you.” He smiles that disingenuous smile again, making me shiver. “You see, Evie, you were supposed to steal from the Donovans, not marry into the fucking family.”

I flinch.

“So you can understand why I’m a little upset.”

“You got your money back,” I blurt out. “Why kill my parents?”

He leans in closer, and I fall back on my butt to get away. “Because Owen fucking Donovan himself paid me off. I wanted the Donovans to hurt. You failed in that matter.”

“No. No. You only told me I needed to steal from them to pay my parents’ debt, and now, their debt is paid off. I did what you asked.”

“But you didn’t. I wanted the Donovans to feel the pain of knowing I got the better of them. And that didn’t happen.”

“But I was going to die. They found me and kidnapped me. They were going to kill me. I did what you asked, I stole the money, and I got caught. That isn’t my fault. I shouldn’t be punished for this. My parents didn’t deserve this.”

He continues tapping his gun against his leg. I know it’s deliberate. He’s trying to frighten me, probably right into the grave. “And I’m proud you stole from them. That’s good. But I don’t understand how you managed to marry Liam Donovan within twenty-four hours of sending you after their money. Care to explain, Evie?”

“I—I—I’m under Liam’s protection.” The words sound lame even as I say them. While being Liam’s wife might hold some sway, at this moment, I don’t think Alessandro gives a damn.
