Chapter 345
My mouth drops a little at the blunt way that Kent basically admits that...that he kills people. Maybe every day. For money.
I think back, suddenly, to the day after I met Kent - when I sal on my couch with my little laptop perched on my knees, googling him, seeing all of the legitimate businesses he had started and invested in...
And as I stare at him I realize that....
I mean, I know that Kent is the Mafia King, I know that that's his reputation. But honestly...I've never really seen any of it except that one time I saw him punch a man in the basement. But I have no idea what that was about - and I have no idea what he really does all day.
And I think...well, I think I didn't ask a lot of questions because I don't want to know. But also, when I imagined the work Kent was doing, it was more... legitimate work than the shooting and stabbing and murder that you see in Mafia movies.
And maybe...maybe that's all he wanted me to see.
I stare at him, starting to piece it together that Kent, even though he told me his days of back-alley brawls are done, is still very much in that world. That even if he is himself not getting

"I never hid it, Fay," Kent says evenly, his entire face stern and cold. "I never asked you to think I was a good man."
And I stare back at him, wondering if...wondering if that's something I can handle. Something I'm okay with.
But I definitely need more details before I can make that decision.
"Tell me, Kent," I say, my voice starting to waver a little as I raise my chin and make my demand. "I need to know. I need to know everything."
"You don't need to know anything -" he scoffs, crossing his arms in frustration.
"I do!" I snap, looking at him hard. "I need to know, Kent, whether I can do this. I need to know who I'm-" I hesitate now, because - well, because I'm not in a relationship with him, am I? "Who I'm sleeping with," I finish, working hard to hold his eye.
