He bought off the judge for the petition of evidence in a criminal matter, but even the great Lennox Demetri can't stop all the wheels of justice. Get out. Leave. Come ho
Nox's eyes followed mine. He quirked a brow. "I thought you didn't have plans?""I was hoping you could come up with something."He reached for my hand and started to pull me out of the bedroom, but stopped. "We're getting out of here. Go put something on under that dress and throw some things in an
