Eight o’clock sharp
The doorbell rang.

I opened it.
Marco stood outside.
Francesca was behind him.
I glanced at her.
“I said you could come. I didn’t say to bring her.” 175

Marco looked back at Francesca.
She didn’t move.
“She has something to say to you, too.”
“I don’t want to hear it.”
“Astrid-”
“If she comes in, we have nothing to discuss.”

Marco clenched his jaw.
He turned and said something to Francesca in a low voice.
Her face was a mask of fury.
But she stepped back.
She went to the far end of the hall and stood against the wall,
watching.
Marco came in and stood in the middle of the living room, hands
shoved in his pockets.
“I’ve considered your terms.”

“And?”
“Francesca leaving the company-fine.”
“Telling the staff what happened-fine, too.”
“And the fifty-one percent?”
“I can give you thirty, at most.”
“No.”

“Astrid, fifty-one percent is a controlling interest.”
“When you had me held down so you could watch another woman slap me five times, you gave up the right to negotiate.”
“That was Francesca, not—”
“You ordered the bodyguards to hold me.”
