CHAPTER FORTY

The tears had long been exhausted and Adele sat on the bed, her back against the wall, remembering all the lovely things people had said about her parents throughout a very sombre service. The sight of her brother and his family had shattered her.

Dylan had given her a tablet to watch the memorial, and she was tempted to smash it. She resisted, loathe to give him any excuse to enact upon his debauched threats. For the last week he had used the memorial as an incentive to make her behave and keep herself and her room clean. In some way, it was good to be in a clean environment. She should have never allowed herself to get to such a state, but then again, she had never known such despair.

It made no sense that he was denying responsibility for her parents’ murder. Adele fully understood that she was helpless against him. Any time, he could simply kill her, and it was terrifying to speculate on why he hadn’t. No matter how hard she tried to accept the inevitable, it was impossible to come to terms with the fearful expectation of being violated by him.

And yet he continued to treat her decently. When she had actually eaten a few of the meals he brought her, she was surprised at how good they tasted. Her room was much more comfortable than a prison cell, and apart from the threat of a spanking, he hadn’t hurt her. None of it made sense.

Later that day, when Dylan came by her room again, Adele was determined to speak with him. As he took the tablet from her, she held on to it and looked up at him.

“Thank you.”

He said nothing, snatched it away and went to walk out, until she called to him. “Please, can’t you tell me something, anything? You said you didn’t kill them. Then tell me who did.”

Dylan glared at her. “You replied to an email from someone called George. You gave him everything you had on me, without knowing who this person was.”

“I was desperate.”

“No, you were trying to cover your arse and pin your crimes on me. Instead you awoke an old enemy of mine, possibly several of them, and they’ve all come looking for me.”

“Who are they?”

“Russian criminals.”

Adele swallowed nervously. “Bratva.”

He smirked. “So you were aware of the hornet’s nest you were poking.”

“It was just something Brendan brought up in his research. I didn’t think…”

“No, you didn’t.”

“Then why would they kill my parents?”

“Because now the whole fucking country is looking for me. I can’t get out, and they know this, and all they have to do is track me down, unless I find them first.”

Adele’s lip trembled. “Brendan?”

“That wasn’t me either, and now James and Mairead are fucked as well. James could be dead, and I have no idea what’s happened to Mairead. I do know that an old friend of mine was tortured to death, and a week ago, while you were decorating the walls, I was burying a woman I cared deeply for, who traded her life for mine.
