Chapter 19 Because what the hell was she doing here dressed like that ? Looking like that ? In his house ? Her eyes dropped . She turned and rushed back up the stairs without saying a word to me . What ? Did I scare her now ? I stood there , trying to shake the weird twist in my gut . My fists clenched on reflex . Saint finally looked at me . " You coming in , or just here to catch flies ? " His tone was flat and disinterested . I stepped further in and shut the door behind me . My mind was racing so hard for no reason , but I kept my face blank ... But something in that picture I just walked in on didn't sit right with me . Not one fucking bit . " I didn't know you were into family , Saint . " His brow lifted . " Watch it . " I scoffed . " What ? Did I walk in on some sweet sibling bonding ? You usually leave your girls that fucked - up - looking after round two , or is she getting special treatment because of the family ties ? " Saint just downed his Scotch and said , without looking at me , " Whatever I do with my stepsister isn't your business . " The words hit me wrong . I couldn't say why . Maybe it was how casual he said it . Because I was certain it was not because some part of me was trying to see Eve as something more ... No. I didn't even know the fucking girl . Ο 1/4 Chapter 19 I walked past him , sat my ass down and poured myself a drink . " You've got balls , I'll give you that , " I muttered , taking a sip . " You found the girl from that night and I didn't even think to tell me ? " He shrugged . " You had someone looking for her , too . I figured whoever got her first got to decide what to do with her . " " That's not the fucking point and you know it . " I hissed . " Eight months , Saint . Eight . You knew I was losing sleep over her . You knew what she meant to me . " He took a lazy sip . " She's alive . That's what you wanted . " I scoffed . " You were going to kill her . " He didn't deny it . I narrowed my eyes . " She didn't kill your mother , Saint . It was a fucking watch . " His head snapped toward me . And in that second , the temperature dropped . " The fuck did you just say ? " I met his gaze , " You heard me . " His jaw clenched so tight I thought his teeth might snap . " Don't bring my mother into this . " He said in that voice that always hinted at an impending danger . His mother ? That was always a very sensitive topic for him . But I didn't flinch . " Then stop acting like the girl stole your bloodline . It was a watch . One you probably forgot you even had until that day you wore it and it went missing . " He looked at me , dead in the eyes . " It's not just about a watch . She fucking stole from me . After fucking me . " he said simply . " That kind of disrespect needs consequences . " " No. We fucked her . She didn't ' fuck us . ' That girl didn't seduce us . She didn't even know our names ! She was desperate , Saint . She needed money . You think she enjoyed that shit ? Did you see what we did to her ? " 2/4 Chapter 19 There was silence . " She was desperate . She needed the money for her mother's meds . " He scoffed . " And I needed my Rolex . But here we are . " I leaned forward , dropping my glass on the table between us . " Saint . Let her go . Let this shit go . I'll get you a brand - new Rolex . Hell , I'll get you ten . Just stop this shit . You've made your point . Don't ruin her life over one fucking mistake . " He was dead quiet . Just staring at his glass as if he was consulting it for answers to give to me . Then he stood slowly and walked to the window . " If you're going to hide her ... hide her well . " I turned . " That's not a yes . " He faced me . " Because the next time I see her , I'll kill her . " His voice was flat . But not as venomous as it had been when this all started . It wasn't filled with rage . That meant something . " You're a fucking drama queen , you know that ? " I said , standing up . " All this over a watch ? What's next ? A public hanging because she scratched your car ? " He smirked faintly . " Depends . Is it the Aston Martin ? " " You're an asshole , " I muttered , finishing my drink and heading to the door . " Keep her out of my way , Kyrie , " he said behind me , " I'm serious . " I glanced back . " Noted . " I stepped out , but in the back of my mind , something scratched at me . Saint wasn't as pissed as he should've been . I knew I intended to convince him ... But this was way too easy . 3/4 Chapter 19 And its fucking with my head . Why did he give in so easily ?
