Excerpt:
βAre you going to starve me to death?β I asked, opening the water.
βAre you going to tell me where Perry is?β he replied.
βI can give you his address. Is that what you want?β He had state-of-the-art security on his apartment. Theyβd never get to him.
He smirked and rubbed his jaw. βI have the address to his apartment and office building. Those were the first places we went. But they are all wiped clean. No sign of him. Nothing. Not even a trace of his DNA left behind, and that is fucking impressive.β
My hand gripped the lid of the water bottle, but I didnβt turn it. I stood there frozen. What did he mean there was no trace of Perry? That wasnβt possible. He wouldnβt leave like that. Disappear.
I shook my head. βYeah, thatβs not Perry. Whoever you are looking for is not my brother. Perry-β
βIs a fucking criminal, Darlinβ. The smart kind. The high IQ kind that can erase himself so that he canβt be found. The kind we hire to do shit for us like, well, this. What you think you know about him, you donβt. Either that, or you are a fantastic liar. But what we do know is Perry only cared for one person. You. And you are our leverage to getting him and our four million dollars. Itβs time you start telling me every detail you know about Perry and what he owns, things that might not be known or possibly under the radar. Something.β
I took a deep breath and then let it out. I wouldnβt panic. There had to be an explanation that was reasonable. I was a second-grade teacher at a Christian school in Mississippi. This kind of thing did not happen to me. My life was boring. I did not live in an episode of Criminal Minds.
Wait. βAm I dreaming?β I asked aloud.
Oz looked annoyed by my question, as if he had the right to be annoyed. Iβd just peed in a bucket and wiped with a piece of brown paper bag. I was the one who got to be annoyed. Besides, that was a legit question. It made more sense than anything else had so far.
βDonβt gulp down your water. Thatβs all you get today. Unless you have something to tell me, that is worth another one.β Oz said then stared at me as if waiting for me to unleash the exact whereabouts of Perry. I had nothing. If he was really gone thenβ¦ then could he be guilty of this. I knew Perry was a genius. Iβd known that way before heβd been tested at twelve years old. But this other stuff sounded nothing like the man I knew.
Blurb:
Taking her was a means to an end. The task was to weed out the man who had stolen millions from us. He may have succeeded, but heβd pay with his life. Hiding from us was a grave error heβd regret soon enough because once he found out that we had taken the one thing he cared for as repayment- heβd show up. When a man had a weakness, it was foolish to make a mistake like this. He would come for her, and when he did, he wouldnβt walk away unscathed, nor would the sister he adored.
This was my fault. I hadnβt seen his scheme. It was my mistake, so I had to fix it. However, it seemed the joke was on me. What I had thought would be an easy job proved more difficult than Iβd imagined. I had underestimated the power of her big brown eyes, full lips, and sweet, sultry voice. Keeping my focus on torturing information from her- when what I really wanted to do was touch her, have her, own her- would not only be a painful obstacle but possibly my biggest failure.
Except she hated the sight of me.
But I couldnβt blame her.
Iβd walked out of her nightmares as her own personal monster.
