Angela didn't want to believe that Gael was responsible for Herman's disappearance. He was capable of it—after all, he was a mafia. But he wouldn't do that, would he?
The way he was at the moment made him look a bit cocky as if he wanted to know if she was judging him. And she wasn't sure if she was. Sure, she wanted Herman to pay. But would she really look away and keep mum if Gael did something to that man?
"What do you think I did?" he challenged.
"I don't know. Why did you say 'maybe'? So you must have done something."
He subtly looked around—probably to see if someone was eavesdropping. Then he spoke in a voice low enough for her to hear.
"I will admit that I wanted to...hurt him. But I didn't. Do you believe me?"
