NICK

I guess it was time to face the fact that I had screwed up. I wasn’t even with my son yet, and I’d already messed things up badly. I had told Marcus to open a branch in Asia, but I swear I didn’t know that’s where we were heading. I just wanted to help him take his mind off things, so he wouldn’t end up overthinking himself into heart problems like I did when I lost Olivia.

But now, sitting on the jet, Luke finally told me where we were going. There was no way in hell I was going to confess to what I’d done. If Marcus somehow found us, it would be because fate or whatever was out there was looking out for him.

I decided to bury my head in the sand and pretend I had no idea what was going on. “Nick, what have you done?” Luke asked, his voice laced with suspicion. I lifted my head, putting on a neutral expression. I gave him a confused look. “What do you mean?” I even raised an eyebrow for effect.

There was no way I was going to admit it now. He wasn’t going to hear the truth from me. I’d already stopped him from giving Marcus a hard time, and I knew he wasn’t about to let this slide.

“Nick, I can always send you back where I found you and make sure you never get close to us again, no matter what you do or what resources you have.”

I put on a look of surprise; I knew he wasn’t bluffing. He could make that happen, but how could I have known where we were going? I had no way of knowing.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re just upset because I convinced you not to give Marcus a hard time.”

Before he could respond, I stood up. “I’m going to check on the baby.” He frowned, then turned to look out the
