“Step off me, Leon. Walk away.” I nodded at the memory stick. “Check that out, and make your decision. “
“Mmmmm,” he rumbled, turning back to his desk. He picked up the device and rolled it between his slender fingers.
I swallowed, but kept my chin lowered, my eyes on him.
Four minutes.
“So, it was you,” he said quietly, almost to himself.
His eyes came up to mine. “You went after my father to ge

“Stepmother…” He laughed again. “Yeah… That’s what she was.”His expression darkened. “She who had taken my mother’s place after the woman before her. My second stepmother.”He stood and walked slowly around the table to my side.Seven minutes.I put my wrist at my lips. “Pull out.”Voices rang in my ear.Leon held my gaze, nodding slowly.“Pull out. Now,” I said forcefully.There was no way I was getting out of here in the next three minutes.Of all the people I had brought, Leon was interested in only one – me. Even if I couldn’t get out of here today, my sister knew where I was.My comms link went dead.I adjusted my grip on the pistol, supporting my gun hand with my free one.Once I steadied my stance, Leon continued speaking as though having a gun in front of him was just another event on a slow day.Given what I now knew of him, it probably was.“My precious stepmother,” he spat,

Sir Sinclair was on a large bed, asleep. It looked like a hotel room, but the machines around the large, aged man spoke to a private hospital room.Someone was in a seat beside the old man. I refused to focus on him.“What’s that got to do with me?”“I got your little present, Jade.”

I wasn’t going to serenade Leon Ralis. Ten minutes. That’s all I needed.We wouldn’t be there for long.The main problem was his private security, the men stationed in his penthouse itself. Most especially, Vega.There was no way to get them out and leave Leon in.That meant I had to make a call I really didn’t want to.A call I had made at 4:30 p.m.==========“Marcus.”“Jay.”“I need your help.”“Where?”I paused. My heart was banging against my chest like a possessed drum.“Ralis’ home.”“Go on.” No hesitation.I held my breath.“Go on, Jay.”“I need a distraction,” I said, my voice an octave higher as I forced the words I was loath to say out.“Tell me.”I did. He listened.Five minutes later, he said, “Okay.”“Aren’t you gonna ask?” I breathed.“No.” His answer was immediate.“Make the call once you’re ready. We’ll handle the

Get it together, Jayden. Don’t slip up now. Not now. Leon is a fucking kingpin. Adrian is his pampered brother. Focus! The kid is not your problem!I saw Adrian’s face from my hotel room the last time we were in the same space together. My chest tightened.I closed my eyes and steadied my breathing.A moment later, I stood, everything locked down.==========That night, at 11:45 p.m., I was at Leon’s apartment complex.My team had assembled by three o’clock that afternoon, at a hidden location in New York – the back room of a pool house in a middle-income section of the city.After talking to Liam, I had left the cabin to meet up with them. I arrived past the hour.There were twelve of us, myself included. Once I got in, we finalized our plan and checked our gear.The goal was simple. Get into Leon’s apartment without making any noise, give him my message, and get out in one piece.As for the steps in bet

It was almost 10 a.m. Tuesday morning, and I found that he was at a private hospital used by the very rich and very private citizens of New York City.I checked the hospital records. Sir Sinclair’s name came up, not Adrian’s.Somehow, the tightness in my chest reduced at that discovery.I traced his movements to get an idea of how close he was to the issue, and here I was reviewing the CCTV recordings from Adrian’s home, data I had access to thanks to the one and only Rina Malroy, since the first day I went to Sir Sinclair’s mansion, the same evening I broke up with my dark one the first time.The kid had hung back as his father was wheeled out of the house. He had said something to the butler and the maid before leaving.I pulled my mind back to the present.If something’s happened to Sir Sinclair, what would Leon do? I mused.I have to get to him before he finds out I’m not where I’m pretending to be… I didn’t know his

I swallowed.“Adrian Sinclair,” my father rumbled, a smile on his lips. “Is my sugar level more important than what you’ve just told me?”My lips parted. My throat was dry again, but the drink was really too sweet.I turned, glancing behind us. There was no one there.I stood. “One second,” I said to my father and rushed into the house.I headed directly to the kitchen. I got a bottle of water from the fridge and a fresh glass. I picked up a tray, and the maid added a pitcher of freshly squeezed orange juice, glancing apologetically at me.I nodded to her and took everything out to the warm conservatory.Liam was nowhere in sight.My father was standing, leaning on his walking stick, when I got back.“Dad.”He turned; he raised his chin, his lips curved up as his eyes went to the tray.I placed it down, and he pointed at the water.I poured him a glass and handed it to him.He drank it all dow
