Miller accepts htly, e is under incredible pressure, jeopardising o ‘I love you, too,’ he whispers, sinking his face firmly into my neck ‘So much, Olivia’

My eyes close and all of the anxiety fro ‘I wanted to see you do it,’ I admit, reasonably or not I feel like I need that part of the puzzle Or maybe I just need to be sure he really did kill that wicked arsehole

‘Charlie has it’ He doesn’t ease up on his hold, which is fine because I don’t want him to He could squeeze even harder and I wouldn’t co me to think clearer ‘He’ll take it to the police’

Miller nods a little into oing to play ball, are you?’

‘I’ it, Olivia Not to you I couldn’t live with myself’

‘But you could live with blood on your hands?’

‘Yes’ His answer is swift and decisive before he wrestles azes down at me ‘Because the alternative is your blood onany words There aren’t any And I kno, one hundred per cent, that there’s nothing I can do to stop Miller fro Charlie ‘I have no remorse for what I did to that ive myself if any harm came to you, Olivia’

‘Is she there?’ William’s irritated tone is perfectly clear tomy cheek is welded to one side of Miller’s face and his phone to the other

‘She’s here’

‘I just took a call,’ William tells Miller He sounds hesitant

‘From?’

‘Charlie’ Just the ain Why is he calling William? They’re archenemies
