Chapter 261

LILA CHECKED HER PHONE.

Again.

Only this time she had a message.

Her heart throbbed in her throat.

The six lines of text were going to cost her around a hundred grand a line, but when the stakes were this high that wasn't a price tag to scoff at. She was paying dearly for inside information, and it was just lucky someone behind the scenes was answering. She didn't know who was manning that sinking ship, all she knew was that shit was headed south with Josh, Scott, and her team in Denver, and she needed to know more about this Fiona woman. Who better to inform on her than the other people searching for her?

"Gotcha," Lila whispered.

MARCO NEEDED TO TOUCH her. Hold her. And Fiona wasn't having any of it.

She wouldn't even look at him, and it was tearing him up inside.

He'd told her he loved her.

And she wanted him to leave her alone.

The woman who fell too fast wanted him to let her go.

He couldn't do that, and yet...what right did he have to ask her for more?
