“For the last time, I have no idea how it got into his hands, I left it right here this morning,” Leila taps on her dresser, glaring at Tatum.
He just let Carmela go, no investigation, no nothing.
Despite how much she tried to make him see the truth, he refused to listen to her and demanded they return home while his warriors took care of everything.
Does he believe she really would hire an assassin?
“I believe you Leila,” Tatum replies, sitting on the bed and massaging his temples, the wrinkles of stress shaping the lines of his forehead.
“But you don’t believe Carmela did it right?” Leila places her hands akimbo, a bitter smile on her lips followed by a soft scoff of disbelief as she stares down at her husband.
“No Leila, I don’t,” Tatum replies coldly. “I know you don’t like Carmela but you can’t just accuse her of something as evil as this. You are the Luna, your words carry weight, you can’t just condemn people you don’t like.”
Tatum’s cold words breeze pain all over Leila’s heart and her bitter smile spreads

He jams his forehead against hers and he feels her anger waning in his hold. This is the one thing he is grateful for, no matter how distant their hearts are, he is grateful that she still finds his touch soothing..

He nibbles gently on her lower lips and kisses the tip of her nose.
