Chapter 6 - The Enemy Who Wanted Norah Had Been Waiting for Nico to Love HerVincent Carr returned.
Not for money.
For revenge.
He had been behind Norah's father's death.
And he had engineered her meeting with Nico.
His goal was simple.
Destroy them both.
Vincent kidnapped Arthur.
He demanded Nico come alone.
Nico agreed.
Norah tried to stop him.
“You can't.”
“I have to.”
“No.”
He looked at her.
“For once, I'm listening to you.”
She shook her head.
“You don't understand.”
“What?”
“I can't lose you.”
The words froze him.
“You just said—”
“I know.”
She swallowed.
“I don't know when it happened.”
He stepped closer.
“But I love you.”
She looked away.
“Nico.”
“Say it again.”
“I love you.”
He kissed her.
Then walked into the dark.
The confrontation was brutal.
Vincent revealed the truth.
Norah's father had been killed because he discovered a corruption network connecting Carr's people to Rinaldi operations.
Nico's father had known.
He had tried to protect Norah.
Too late.
The families had been manipulated against each other.
Vincent had been the architect.
Nico fought him.
Arthur escaped.
Police surrounded the building.
Vincent was arrested.
Nico nearly died.
Norah reached him at the hospital.
She took his hand.
“Don't leave me.”
He smiled weakly.
“I thought you didn't want me.”
“I was wrong.”
“You said you loved me.”
“I do.”
He squeezed her fingers.
“Then stay.”
“I will.”

It was the first promise she had made him in a year.
And this time, she kept it.
