The Mistake
I regret nothing.
I did what every man in the world would do. I would gladly do it again were I to have another chance. I did nothing wrong. The naked dead body on the floor has a gruesome story to tell. The frozen smile the dead man's lip looks more like a sneer. He indeed is hairy, I have to admit. Everything inside the apartment is intact. The smell of blood is thick. It isn't hard making a dead man disappear. Things may get a little tricky when people start asking all kinds of questions, though.
I turn my head around as I hear Terry sobbing. Her long legs and firm breasts look sexy. I want to lick away her tears.
I work for Vito Grizolli. I'm not just a thug. I'm engaged to his niece. I have a bright future ahead of me. I just caught Terry cheating on me. With the now deader than dead Joe Morelli, the no longer ambitious Trenton police detective. I knew all along a part of my fiancée would always love Joe Morelli. He was her first in everything, and she his. Too bad a wife from a famous mob family wasn't very promising for his career. So he dumped her, tried his best to find some boring normal woman, but kept coming back to Terry. She did her best to resist but finally gave in. He also used her as snitch. Vito wasn't pleased. Neither was I. Terry promised me it was all over between them. He was going to marry Stephanie Plum, the woman who blew up things.
She lied.
He crawled right back into her bed the night the Plum woman died. I found out about it. I almost laughed as I loaded my gun with hollow-point bullets. So much for love and promises we didn't mean to keep. My family is not from Sicily. The silencer on my gun is from Germany. I am glad I killed Morelli. I still want to fuck Terry. Though it disgusts me that the dead man wasn't using any protection. I'll have Terry do something about it. There's no way I'm gonna raise another man's brat. Then I'll ask her nicely not to cheat on me. Ever. Again. To Hell with love triangles. Even the nicest people have their limits.
And I've never claimed to be nice.
