Nathan had a clean persona for the public to hide his criminal organization, and Katherine was a model married to a man in Nathan's line of work.

They both had something to lose if something like that got out.

A shiver went down my spine as I wondered what would happen if he ever discovered I knew their secret.

My hand cradled the small bump underneath my shirt, the only innocent in the whole mess.

I couldn't sleep beside him, eat at the same table and call him my husband knowing what he did.

I would slip up one day and put not just myself but my child in danger of his father.

I had to leave.

But there was no such thing as divorce for the women in his world, and even if I got out, I needed to give him a reason not to come after me and my child.

It was a good start, but if I wanted to convince him to let me live and agree to a divorce, I would need more.
