Well, that answered that question But what about… “That has nothing to do with you going into hiding though”

“When Arabella’s body re was up with you and Marcello If it had been the way I originally thought it was, you would’ve already had hishim where her body was Neould’ve broken that her remains had been discovered, but that never happened I playedover his dead wife, finding comfort in the arms of another wonant, then that would’ve been the easy explanation” He shrugs, nonchalant about the whole thing, not caring one bit that he’s talking about Arabella being dead

I can only i toher feel to kno little her husband had cared about her

“So, I tried surprising you at work, knowing you would no longer answer ine ood doctor had taken a leave of absence Theto his lovely receptionist, took teeks off And why? There was no hts or anything for your first vacation in the history of ever Whichstaycation And why, pray tell, would a handsouy such as yourself want to coop up all by your lonesome in your own home?”

He gestures with the gun back and forth between Arabella and ives us the world’s fakest s his chin on the back of his hand still holding the gun

He’s such a dra if it’s the last thing I fucking do

“No, you weren’t alone You were fuckingonce again to psychopathy

Arabella sighs, and I do my best not to turn toward her with a look to shut her up “Oh, Ferro What does itme? You wanted me dead I shouldn’t even exist to you anymore”

His nostrils flare, his eyes see to oddamn Mi—”

My fist connects with the middle of his face before he can finish that last word, and the interior of SUV is suddenly sprayed red with the blood that comes out of the fucker’s nose

Then, complete chaos ensues

As Ferro reaches both his hands up to cup his nose, yelling out in his shock and pain, it puts the ht where I want it, in his face and ai his And with a swift , as his eyes are closed with his pain, I lift , and the heel of my shoe becomes one with the steel weapon, which in turn slaain

There’s a sickening crack along with the sound of Bella’s sharp inhale, with the added bonus of his driver’s curses as Ferro screaled hand And just when I lean down to grab it from where it landed on the floor next to Bella’s feet, everyone in the SUV cries out as we all lurch forward It takes ister ere rammed from behind, and I spin to look over my shoulder out the back

I squint, trying to see who it is in the SUV behind us, but I can’t tell as they rear end us once again, Bella starting to chant, “Oh God, oh God, oh God, what’s happening?”

But I have no time to answer or console her With quick move it before finally getting a grasp on the gun I pull back the ha sound soun to the driver’s te his eyes in the rearview mirror

“Pull The fuck Over,” I growl, ritted so hard

With his boss a whining bitch daer seat, he wisely does as I ordered, slowing before pulling off the road I don’t move as I hear the doors slaht of the big un raised with only one hand instead of his preferred stance of two, I audibly breathe out a sigh of relief
