My Stepbrother's Dirty Little Secret novel Chapter 593

Chapter 593

Cole’s chest heaved, his eyes turned frantic, like a rat looking for a hole in the wall.

“I know how Chicago works. You don’t survive in this city by picking a fight with the Capones,” he slowly shook his head, “I’m not suicidal.”

My stomach twisted.

No.

He was lying.

I made a desperate sound behind the gag.

Raphael’s eyes flicked toward me for the briefest second before returning to Cole.

I thrashed against the ropes on my wrists. I wanted to scream. I wanted to tell Raphael that Cole was rewriting the entire night, that he was a monster, that he was twisting everything because he knew how dangerous the Capones

were.

No.

No!

Mama D looked up so quickly she almost lost her balance.

“Cole-”

He spoke over her, “She walked through my front door with her girls asking for protection.”

My heartbeat became deafening.

“No…”

The word disappeared behind the gag.

Cole continued, “The second she brought Gianna into this room unconscious, I panicked. I knew what your family would do to this city if she went missing. So I played along with Denise just long enough to get her to stay still, and then I called you immediately! I gave you the address! I saved her from them!”

My breathing turned frantic.

No.

Please.

Stop.

“She thought I had enough people to hold the girl until payment arrived,” he gave another short shake of his head, “I told her she was insane.”

He laughed once.

It was a nervous laugh.
