512 The Danger I’m In

(Cass)

I sit on the couch at Jayden's penthouse, picking at my nails, while Viktor stands near the window, arms crossed, eyes focused on the city below.

His broad shoulders are tense, his entire posture screaming disapproval.

I've just told him what I overheard in my apartment and he's acting like I heard it on purpose.

"Say it," I snap, breaking the silence.

He turns, his blue eyes icy. "You shouldn't have gone there alone."

"Tell me why you went there," he demands, his voice a coiled spring ready to snap.

"I didn't know they'd be there!" I snap, my frustration bubbling to the surface. "I was cleaning up, minding my own business, and then they just... showed up."

"Does anyone else know?" he growls, his accent thickening with his anger. "Did you see anyone on the way in, or out? If he finds out..."

"No." I fire back. "No one else was around. Stop being so dramatic."

"You need to take this seriously," he says, his voice sharp enough to cut glass. "Don Alejandro is one of the most dangerous men in the world. If he had known you were there if he ever finds out-you're dead." I freeze, his words slamming into me. "He didn't see me. They didn't know I was there."

"We can't guarantee he won't find out," he says fiercely. "You don't understand the kind of man he is."

I push back against the fear rising in my chest. "What do you want me to do, Viktor? Hide under a rock for the rest of my life?"

"I want you to stop taking reckless risks," he says, his voice dropping to a dangerously low rumble. "You don't go anywhere without me screening it first."
