Maybe I should have been more guarded and vigilant, but I’d had it.

It was officially enough.

I used to be a different person. One who knew what she wanted. So, I thought about what that girl would have done about her situation. Thought about how she would have fought. How she might have stepped on a few toes to get what she wanted. And that girl? She would have gotten what she came for.

It made me sick that I’d become half the woman I used to be.

I was a mob princess, for crying out loud. I knew how to use a gun. I had beaten both men and women bloody. My bedroom game was hot. I was a freaking fox.

And I couldn’t keep my man?

Yeah. I don’t think so.

That was not going to fly.

So, I did what I had to. And that was why I waited until he left the house before I snuck out of Anika’s room and stole into the basement, into his quarters, where I began to snoop.

If Vik wasn’t willing to tell me what was going on, I was going to have to find out myself.

My gaze swept over the bookcases and shelves. I opened drawers and went through his closet, recollections assaulting me from left and right. Every item of clothing had a memory attached to it, his scent heavily embedded in each article. Every movie on the shelf, we’d watched together. The manga I pulled off the bookcase was creased from the number of times he read them. I’d sat at his desk, on that very chair, and responded to his emails as he slept off a rough night. I lost count of the number of times I sat up in that bed while he rested his head in my lap, me running my fingers through his hair as he pressed soft kisses to wherever his lips could reach. We’d spent countless days and nights in that bed, and not only for sex but talking and laughing and touching. Just being close to each other. Simply being together.

And as I stood in the center of his dwelling with my hands on my hips, my eyes flittering around with a frown on my face, my heart sank. I spent the better part of an hour looking for a clue and found nothing.

With a light sigh, I made my way over to the desk and sat on the computer chair, using my toes to spin me around as I leaned back and considered where I might find answers.

My brow creased in thought as my eyes slid over to the laptop.

The laptop I knew the password to.

Without reservation, I quit spinning, moved close, and lifted the lid of the laptop. When it came to life, I typed the password and lifted my finger to hit Return but stopped just as my finger came to rest on the button.

This was a huge invasion of privacy. It was psycho levels of overstepping.

My mouth pulled down as I thought about that. I thought hard.
