“What’s wrong?” Her worried eyes bore into his. “Are you looking into your brother again?”
They’d made a pact never to hide anything else from one another. Thus far, it was going smashingly… outside of the occasional leaf of kale.
“I just want to do the right thing. And not knowing… it’s eating at me, you know?”
“I understand.” She kissed him between the eyes. “But what exactly is the right thing here?”
He drew his gaze beyond Juliette’s back, squinting at the dead man on the computer screen. Strange how his father looked like he was sleeping. But Ronan was certain it was a crime scene photo—not a snapshot of a natural death.
Charles’s voice echoed in his head: You really want to go down this road, brother?
He didn’t want to, not really. If he investigated this, confirmed that Charles had killed their dad…
What’s it going to be, Ronan? Hypocrite or accomplice?
Ignorance sounded like the far superior option.
But Ronan was holding a thread in his hand. He’d never been one not to pull it, even if it might yank the whole rug from beneath his own brother, his sister—his mom. Even Juliette, now that she was connected to him and his wealth, though he knew that wasn’t why she was here.
He didn’t want to hurt his family—wouldn’t without good reason. But this was far more than a matter of knowing for knowing’s sake. This was a matter of risk.
Could he really be sure that Charles wouldn’t hurt anyone else?
He wasn’t—not at all. He wished he could say that Charles didn’t have it in him, but his gut told him otherwise. And he knew how easy it was for men to hide what they did in the shadows. Even Waylon had managed to keep his wrongdoing under wraps for years. And he wasn’t a damn billionaire.
“Ronan?”
He drew his gaze back to Juliette’s, and she laid her hands on either side of his face.
“Are you okay?”
“I really don’t know,” he said, the warmth of her touch steadying his nerves. “But with you here… I know I will be.”
