“Where is he?”
“Unfortunately, one of my guys thought he was aiming at me and shot him. He’s probably in the morgue. We can claim the body and bury him if you’d like.”
Wow. She hated her cousin for what he did to her, but she hadn’t considered how she’d feel if he died. She did know that any anger she had for him was diminished when he saved her husband, and she knew in her heart he was trying to make up forwhat he did.
“I’d like to bury him.”
Dominic nodded. “Then it will be done. I’ll make the arrangements.”
She nodded. “Thank you.”
“Let’s get home.” He stood and pulled her up before wrapping her arm around her waist.
They hadn’t made it down the stairs before his sisters descended on him. Rebeka bit her lip to keep from laughing when he groaned as they started harassing him about his behavior.
He finally whistled. “Girls. We made up, and I learned a lesson. If you’d take a look at her, you’ll see she is happy.”
“So, you fixed her broken heart?” Beth asked.
A few of them were shocked. Beth didn’t usually give her opinion or show her displeasure.
“Yes, Sister. I have, and I will continue to.”
“Good. If we hear of you fucking up again, we’ll send Hope over to you,” Angelica said.
He scowled. “You’re threatening your own brother?”
“Yes,” they all said.
Rebeka had to duck to hide her face when he sighed dramatically.
“I promise to be on my best behavior from now on.”
“Good.”
They all hugged both of them and then waved as they left.
The drive back home was quiet, but in a good way, and they held hands the whole time.
They walked into the house with their arms around each other to find Aria standing in the foyer with her arms crossed. She stared back and forth and then smiled. After she walked to Rebeka, she pulled her into her arms. “I’m so glad you guys worked it out.”
“I am, too,” Rebeka said and then watched when she hugged her son. The emotion on both faces brought tears to her eyes, and she quickly blinked them away.
“Would it be okay if I did some work?” Rebeka asked Dominic.
“Sure. I want to get the arrangements made.”
“Thank you.” She was glad he was doing it because her emotions were still in a jumble because of her cousin.
Aria walked off and let them alone. Dominic pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
“I’ll be back, and then I want to take a nap after lunch.”
She sputtered out a laugh. “A nap? Really?”
“Oh, you’ll like the kind of nap I’m taking about.”
She smiled when she understood. “I think I will, too.”
