Had he only known for a few weeks? I could wipe his memory if he’d only known that long...No.It was wrong. And more importantly, Ghazi might get angry. “I’m serious, Robert.”
“He won’t tell anyone,” said Daphne. “Neither of us will. Right?” She gave her husband a pointed stare.
“I mean...”
“Robert,” said Daphne.
Rob sighed. “Fine. Whatever. But I knew it!”
“Shhhh,” I hissed. “Here’s what’s going to happen. You’re going to let me go to Rome to check on Ash real quick. And then...”
“Didn’t you two break up?”
“No.”
He laughed. “Are you sure about that, man?”
Daphne elbowed him in his side.
“You’re going to let me go,” I said. “And you’re going to delete that video.” Rob was still holding his phone in the air. And I was pretty sure he was still recording.
Rob glanced at Daphne and then back at me. “Okay. Let us come too, and we’ll drop it.”
Really? Okay.That was easy enough. “Fine.” Besides, Daphne could be useful at getting us in if it was an all-girls event. Otherwise we’d have to be strippers. And I couldn’t exactly be a stripper unless all the women there wanted to die a fiery death.
I put my hand out for Rob’s phone.
He tossed it at me.
I deleted the recording. And then I snapped my fingers, teleporting us to Rome.
“Trippy,” said Rob. “Where are we?”
“The Rome Society.” Apparently Rob knew all about the Society too, since he’d called me Ryder Storm.
“And what exactly are we doing here?”
“Ash is having her bachelorette party. And I want to keep an eye on her. And see if she finds her lesser true love so I can be free.” I started walking toward the back offices.
“Ah, right. Ash told me all about that.”
I stopped dead in my tracks. “What?”
“Ash told me.”
“Ash told you...” my voice trailed off. “Ash told you I was a genie?”
“Yup.”
What the fuck?First she fucked all my friends on my soccer team. Then she told my arch nemesis I was a genie? And then she got engaged to Xander Frost? Why was she doing this to me? “I...” I shook my head. “I don’t believe you. She wouldn’t have done that.”
“She sure did. She just pulled me aside one day and told me everything. Every little secret. I think she wanted all the lies off her chest. Because she’s a good person, unlike you.”
“Whoa,” said Daphne. “That is not the whole story, Rob, and you know it.”
Rob looked a little dejected.
“Here’s what happened,” said Daphne. “Ash was freaking out because she thought she was pregnant. Apparently she’d been trying to find her lesser true love to set you free?”
