“Is this any way to speak to your husband?”
“Fuck you,” she shot back. “Better?”
“No,” he pushed into the bathroom, and she shoved against
his chest.
“It is not big enough in here for two people.”
“I think it depends on how we’re positioned,” he smirked down at her. “We used to fit in here quite well at one time. Remember the flight we took, and you joined the mile high
club?”
She swung her arm to smack him in the face and he caught her hand and lifted his eyebrow up at her.
“You have grown very violent in the last few years, wife. It is sexy but not so much when directed at me.”
“I hate you,” she hissed.
“So, you’ve said,” he smiled sadly at her. “I will make it up to
you.”

“Unless you’re going to put Laoise’s head on a platter and have your whore of a sister serve it to me at a family banquet, there isn’t anything you can do to make it up to me.” She paused, “actually, if you can kill their offspring the way they murdered mine, I might call it even.”
“Jesus Christ.” His eyes widened in disbelief, “you did not just suggest I murder a child.”
“Surely by now one of them with the way they keep their knees parted has a kid. Did you get Laoise pregnant while I was living my best life away from you?”
“I have never fucked that woman. I loathe her. I loathed her before I met you and right now, following the information you gave us yesterday, there is an execution order out for her. Not even her father who is best friends with my father can stop it.”
“I’ll see it when I believe it. Her big brother is your number one henchman.”
“He cut her out of his life a few years ago when he caught her stealing a large sum of money from him.”

he was so much taller than her, her neck was starting to ache from looking up at him in this position.
“Do you think you could pull a trigger?”
“I wasn’t aiming to miss yesterday,” her nostrils flared as she remembered how she’d barely missed Aoife.
“Your aim was damn good. If I hadn’t pulled your arm at the last second, you’d have gotten her between the eyes.”
“No shit. I’ve been going to a shooting range for the last six years.”
“You were truly prepared to take a life?”
“She killed my son.”
He was quiet as he regarded her, a sadness creeping over his features at her words. “I’m sorry. I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am. All this time I believed you underwent an
abortion and Aoife never once told me otherwise. She knew
all this time it was inaccurate, but she said nothing.”
“I don’t know what I ever did to her but there is a special
place in hell for women like her.”

“I agree and I know what the issue was.” He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear gently despite the way she slapped at
his hand to get it away from her. “As you know my family is quite wealthy. She however blew through her trust fund in a couple of years. Dad cut her off other than a monthly stipend which I control. She presumed, incorrectly, if I married Laoise,
she would get access to the money I control.”
“She’s a maniac.”
“They both are. The amount of drugs they have both done have made the pair of them unreasonable.”
“I hate them,” she shot him an irritated glance, “almost as
much as I hate you.”
“I will make this right.”
“Can you give me back my son?”
“No.”
“Will you let me, and Egan go?”
“We’ve discussed this. He is –”

and I want to keep him this way. Your family is not one to be trusted. He’ll be dead in your care because you can’t take
care of what is yours.”
