“Yes. I don’t know how he got my number. Probably those mob connections of his.”

Raj rolled her eyes. “Not everything my family does is mob related.”

“Yeah, try to sell that to the next idiot. Either way, I didn’t speak to your brother directly. I just know that he’s been trying to get in touch with you, and he can’t get through.”

That was because after the last time he’d visited, she had blocked him on pretty much every phone line she had. Guru must’ve been desperate if he reached out to Robert.

“Just ignore any other calls you get from him. I’ll handle it.”

“Sounds good. I never liked him or the rest of your family.”

“I doubt they care since they didn’t like you, either.”

Robert grinned. “A relief, if you ask me. Now if only you’d stay away from another Indian family.”

Of course he’d bring it up. “If you’re fishing for information . . .”

“I saw the way you looked together last weekend,” he said. His tone was as grumpy as that of a child who’d been denied a favorite toy. “People saw you leave the hall together.” Color flooded his cheeks as he scowled at her.

“We were having a conversation that was none of your business.”

“Well, it’s become my business if you want to lead the Gen One Foundation. My name is going to come up, Raj. I work for WTA now, and if you’re involved with Bharat, our relationship, past and present, will be dissected.”

She knew he was right, but in that moment, she couldn’t care less what people said about her or her sham marriage. “See you in three months, Robert.”

He let out a sigh. “Fine. Be that way. See you soon, Raj.”

She watched as he handed the last box over for his driver to put in the trunk before he ducked into the backseat of the black sedan.

“Three months,” she said again. Three months and then her divorce would be official. It wasn’t fast enough, in Raj’s mind, but it would have to do.

Raj was still thinking about her conversation with Robert when she arrived at the Thai place downtown. What could her brother possibly want from her now?

She’d gone to extremes to separate herself from her father’s drug-trafficking empire. It was a lucrative business in Punjab where there was a drug crisis, but that wasn’t the life Raj had wanted to live.
