Page 33 of His Brother's Wife
Ama’s heart caught in her throat. It had to be Inca …Jesus. Ama closed her eyes. Jackson, you fucking bastard. Why didn’t you just killme?
She waited for him to finish the call. He looked shattered. “Inca was bleeding internally. They took her back into surgery four hours ago and they’re still operating. They can’t stop the bleeding. Raff is …well, you can guess.”
Ama dipped her head into her hands and gave a sob. “This is the end, Enda. I’ve had enough. We need to draw Jackson out. We need to end this.”
“I agree.” Enda wrapped his arms around her. “Call me selfish or call me a terrible friend, but I never want to have to make that call about you, Ama. And I’m terrified that you’ll do something stupidly selfless and get yourself killed.”
Ama cried silent tears. “What if he does that to Selima? I cannot live with that, Enda.”
“We’ll figure something out, baby.”
“How?”
But he didn’t have an answer for her.
Raff was waiting in the relatives’ room with Gajendra and Omar. His phone bleeped and he checked it, relieved at something to do. It was a message from one of his contacts.
Yes. I know these men. Call me back when you can. I hope your lovely Inca pulls through.
If Raff hadn’t been so gut-wrenchingly terrified right at that moment, he would have punched the air. Finally, a lead.
The surgeon, exhausted and tired, pushed his way into the room, and Raff tried not to see the blood on his scrubs. Inca’s blood. The doctor nodded at him.
“She’s stable. We found the bleed; we had thought her spleen hadn’t been damaged initially, but that was where the bleed was.”
“Will she be okay?” That was Omar; Raff was too relieved to speak.
The doctor hesitated. “We’ve stabilized her. That’s as much information I can confirm. I’m hopeful. Let’s say that. You can see her in the morning, Mr. Winter. Until then, I suggest you go home and get some rest.”
Raff, of course, went straight to the home of his contact, where he found out the names of the men who had attacked Inca and could finally see a way to fight for the woman he loved.
Enda put down the phone in frustration and Ama rubbed his back. “What is it?”
“I have to go to New York for the day. The business goes on, even if we’re out of action, and I can’t ask Raff to leave Inca’s bedside right now.”
Ama hugged him. “Of course you can’t. I have Trevor and Dustin, the silent twins. You go, baby. We can’t let this whole thing stop our lives entirely.”
Enda kissed her. “Have I told you I love you today?”
Ama grinned. “Well, no, but you certainlyshowedme. And, if you like, you can show me again before I go to work.” She lay back, still naked from the shower, and Enda grinned, covering her body with his and hitching her legs around his waist.
“Is that right,Bella?”
Ama grinned and sighed happily as she felt his cock begin to swell, pressing hard against her thigh. “Put that in me, Gallo.”
“Such a nag,” Enda chuckled and thrust his cock deep into her, making her gasp. In moments like these, Ama pretended that the rest of the world went away and that she and Enda were the only two people alive.
They made love slowly, until Enda brought her to a shattering orgasm. She was still glowing when she walked into her office an hour and a half later. Lena grinned at her.
“You look radiant, boss. Anything to do with that gorgeous man of yours?”
Ama grinned, but they were soon bogged down in work. Enda called her as he was about to catch his flight.
“Are you sure you’ll be okay? I’ll be back around ten tonight.”
Ama smiled down the phone. “Honestly, baby, I’m fine. We have a ton of work, so I might be working late myself.”
As it turned out, she was right. The paperwork involved in her handing over her classes to the new teacher which kept her busy all day, and she blinked up at Lena as she came into the office.
