But he’d suddenly remembered exactly how it had been so easy to let Chloe Sullivan’s soft, sweet body go for eight whole years, and why he’d moved onto the vapid brunettes he’d chosen for wives three, four, and five. If Caruthers had the nerve to ask, the man whose phone number he had been given would kill whomever he wished, regardless of what Lex had told him. He’d kill Lex himself if offered enough. Hit men were not generally concerned with the guilt or innocence of their victims, only the price on their heads. In corporate war games, to be close to a big player made you a target – a fact Lex knew only too well, as marriage number four had not ended in divorce.
:badboy:Lex, mon ami, what did you do or what was done to you? I felt awful for Caruthers, but that feeling was displaced quickly by the curiosity I have for Lex's briefly mentioned wives, in particular no. 4. How much has he been scarred by the sudden loss and how will those ghosts affect his blossoming relationship with Chloe?
