CHAPTER TWELVE

Stamatis

Harem? Gangsters? Very, very bad people. Despite us having talked it out, Rhea’s words are still ricocheting around my brain, taunting me.

Is this what she’s thought of me all along? I shouldn’t care. I’d told myself before tonight that I’d be done with her, but then I saw her walk past the study in that elegant way of hers, and I was second guessing myself.

The moment I saw her shaking and crying in Andrius’ arms, I knew I couldn’t let her go. Not yet.

Now, I’m moving her in with my daughter, to her own space, but still on their land, and it seems right somehow. I’m still fucking livid with her, though. I want her, but right now, I don’t like her.

Luckily for Rhea, I have a lot of business to discuss tonight, so she’s on her way back to her apartment, with an armed guard who will stay with her while she packs her and Gus’ things. My man will stay overnight, sleeping on the sofa, and in the morning, when her son comes home from his sleepover, Rhea and Gus will move here.

“Fucking sucks, timing wise,” Andrius is grouching. “I don’t need this shit, but I can’t and won’t go against Konstantin. I’ve got to talk to Allyov and hope the cards fall well for us all.”

“If they don’t?” Damen says. “If you have to choose a side, what exactly will you do?”

Andrius shifts in his seat. “I hope I don’t have to choose, my friend.”

He’s playing his cards close to his chest, but I have an inkling of what he’ll do. He’s already stated, categorically that he won’t go against his friend. So that means if he has to choose, he’ll go against his old boss, Allyov, and if he has to do that, Andrius won’t fucking mess about. In some ways, it would suit Andrius if Allyov were taken out of the picture by a rival. The old man has been dragging Andrius back into our world, bit by bit, and Andrius doesn’t want to be along for that ride. I warned Allyov. You do not want a man like that alongside you if he doesn’t want to be there, but Allyov thinks he knows best.

Andrius trusts Damen and Alesso, I believe implicitly; me, he doesn’t trust so much. He might say more when I’m not here, or he might continue to play his cards close to his chest. Either way, it doesn’t matter because I’m convinced I know what his play will be here, and it won’t be good for Allyov if push comes to shove. Or for any of us, for that matter.

It only serves to convince me more that I’ve done the right thing in ordering Rhea to stay here. What with the outside threats now coalescing and my crazy bitch wife, one can’t be too careful.

I’ve given Lena a deadline to be out of the house by Monday. I doubt she’ll adhere to it, however. She seems to have lost any
