"I am not afraid of them, but if you die, I will be implicated. I can't protect you from such a constant threat," she explained.

Nick nodded. "That's about what I expected," he answered.

"Why?" Aria asked with furrowed brows.

"Why what?" Nick asked.

"Why would you offer me such a contract? With such a contract, it would be easy for me to secretly kill you and not be responsible."
