      Sophia

      I’m sure I must have heard Pax wrong. I’ve patiently waited to learn his secret, and now that he’s told me, I can only think that I want to unlearn it .

      There’s no way what he’s said is true. There’s no way I could have married a murderer.

      Pax looks at me for a long moment. That’s all I’m going to say about it.

      You just told me you killed someone. And that’s all you’re going to say about it? I shake my head. You can’t just drop something like that—

      "You asked me. You wanted to know… He rakes a hand through his hair. I shouldn’t have said anything. I knew you wouldn’t understand."

      How can I understand? Surely there’s a story behind what you’re telling me. It can’t be as simple as ‘I killed someone.’

      His shoulders drop, and there’s something so broken about him, I’m not sure I should push any further.

      I take a step toward him, taking his hand in mine. Please, Pax—

      I said I don’t want to talk about, he snaps, yanking his hand away. Just…never mind. His brows draw together, and his gaze narrows. You should probably go.

      And where am I supposed to go? I tilt my head. I’d much rather we talk about this—

      I’m not… He shakes his head. I don’t… He takes another step backward, and I could swear his eyes fill with tears. Please. Just give me some space.

      Okay. If that’s what you want. I don’t even give him another glance. I turn on my heel and leave the hotel room.

      The thumping of music fills the hallway. I suppose I could go and join the party with Pax’s bandmates, but I don’t feel up to it at all. Victoria is staying here a few floors down, and that seems like the safest place for me at the moment.

      I walk over to the elevator and jab at the button to go down.

      Hey. A familiar voice comes from behind me. Where’s Pax?

      I turn to see one of the band members, Rider, approaching me.

      He’s resting. I turn back for the elevator, pressing again at the down button.

      Yeah, you seem to tire him out pretty well. The man stands beside me, pressing at the elevator button himself.

      I ignore the innuendo, silently praying for the elevator to arrive quickly.

      He likes you. Haven’t seen him like this in a long time. There’s a slight slur to his words, and it’s pretty apparent that the man is inebriated.

      I like him, too.

      He doesn’t get like this anymore. Not since… Rider chuckles. Oops. Almost let the cat out of the bag. He laughs again.

      I look up at Rider. About Pax killing someone?

      His smile falls as he seems to sober instantly. You found out?

      He told me. I turn back to face the closed doors.

      He…told you? The elevator dings and the doors slide open.

      I step inside, turning back to face Rider. Yes, and thank you for confirming. I touch the button for Victoria’s floor.

      Rider shakes his head, stepping onto the elevator beside me just as the doors close. I can’t believe he told you about Kayla.

      Kayla, I say the name under my breath. At least I know a little more now—perhaps enough to have Victoria help me fill in the blanks.

      He actually said he killed her? Rider shakes his head. I mean, I know that’s probably what he thinks. But…shit.

      So he didn’t kill her?

      His eyebrows draw together. I’m under strict orders to never speak a word of anything to anyone. Ever. You know, except for when I tell one of the groupies… He chews on the inside of his cheek for a moment. "But he actually said he killed her?"

      I lift a brow, not really giving him an answer.

      Fuck. I can’t believe he said that.

      The elevator arrives at Victoria’s floor, and the doors slide open. I step off and turn back to face the man. Have a good night, Rider. And if you see Pax…

      The doors slide closed again before I have a chance to finish my message, which is just as well. I have no idea what I would want Rider to tell Pax, anyway.

      I knock on Victoria’s door, and she answers a few moments later.

      Are you all right? I ask her after the door opens.

      She gives me a slight nod, waving me inside. Just tired. All these long distance flights are killing me. She motions toward the sofa, but I hop onto the bed instead, patting the place beside me.

      Victoria sighs and crawls onto the bed next to me. I’m not sure why I’m so tired.

      I’m sure I’m to blame. I look over at my new sister. I’m not exactly making life easy for anyone. Myself included.

      She gives me a weak smile. How was the concert?

      Amazing, as usual. He pulled me onstage with him tonight.

      I heard. It’s all over the internet. Her smile widens. You’re both doing a fantastic job selling the love angle. People are eating it up.

      Do you remember when I came to you and asked you to find out about his past? My brow furrows. I’m sorry to change the subject, but he said something tonight…

      She frowns, searching my eyes. He said what, exactly?

      He said… I shake my head, not sure I should really be telling her this. He told me he killed someone. And his bandmate, Rider, pretty much confirmed it in the elevator on my way down here. I tilt my head. You said there was nothing—nothing significant in Pax’s past. A murder would have shown up, right? It’s not like that’s something you can hide.

      We looked… She pulls her laptop over from the table beside her and begins typing into it. I had several people look. He has no criminal record. No record at all of anything. If he actually murdered someone—

      Her name was Kayla. That’s what Rider said, anyway. I look over at what she’s typing. Is there any way to look that up?

      Without a last name? She frowns at the screen. Unlikely. Even with an unusual name—

      What about in his town? The little town where he grew up? There couldn’t have been many Kaylas in that little place, right?

      Victoria gives me a small shrug as she begins to type. Her eyes widen a moment later, and she turns the screen away from me so I can’t see it as she continues to read.

      What is it? I crane my neck to try to read what’s on the computer, but she turns it even more so I can’t read it.

      I’m not sure yet, Sophia. I…I’ll need to look into it a little more. And I…I’m not sure what I should do with the information if this turns out to be true.

      Fuck. I didn’t even think to tell her this was off the record. Not that I’m too concerned she’ll do anything to harm Pax or me particularly since he’s now a member of our family.

      What is it? I try to read her screen again, but she snaps the computer closed. My heart pounds loudly in my ears—if Pax was really involved in a murder, what am I supposed to do? Just tell me what it is—

      I don’t know yet. All I know is there was a Kayla in his town. And like I said, I need to look into it more to figure out what happened. Her frown deepens, and she reaches out and touches my hand.

      Sophia, if Pax was really involved in this… She shakes her head again. You need to prepare yourself.
