J.D. Robb Quote
When he came to fear and detest you, it was worse. He ordered three hits on you that I know of. Roarke continued to stroll. There were five, actually. Why didn’t you ever retaliate? I don’t need the blood of my competitors. Or even my enemies. He was, for some years, nothing to me. But he should never have touched my wife. I’d have done him for that, if you’re interested. For putting a mark on her. You didn’t, and he lives. Because doing so would’ve put another mark on her, as that’s who she is. You let him live to protect your wife? Roarke paused, looked Alex in the face. If you think the lieutenant needs protection, mine or anyone’s, you’ve severely misjudged her. I let him live out of respect to her. And I became convinced living, as he is condemned to live now, was worse than death.
