Chapter 248

MARCO STUCK THE USB into her laptop before he could have any more second guesses. A few clicks, and the deed was done before she'd even flushed the toilet.

How long until she found out about him? He could feel the noose. It wasn't something he could escape, but hopefully she didn't learn about it until she was safe. Until they'd sorted all of this and she was okay. Then she could hate him for all eternity as she lived out a long, happy life. Without him.

"How's your leg?" Fiona's hand brushed his arm.

He captured her fingers and brought them to his lips.

Marco shouldn't touch her. She was too good for the likes of him. But for now, he'd take what he could get, because it would have to last him the rest of his life.

"Fine. How's the hacking?"

"I'm still getting set up. I'm not as good as I used to be, so it takes me a while to get my bearings and figure out what I'm dealing with." She ducked her head.
