RONALD

I watched helplessly as she disappeared through the service exit, and the moment the door slammed shut, something inside me snapped.

At first I was frozen, my chest heaving, my hands curled into fists so tight I could feel the sting of my nails biting into my palms. The cowards with guns still hovered by the exits while their masked faces scanned the area for resistance. I gave them nothing… not yet. If I moved now, she died.

But when I got her back, and I would, there wouldn’t be enough left of these men to bury.

I forced my breathing to slow down, forced my pulse to even out, pushing the chaos so far down that all I felt now was cold rage.

Catherine’s face was burned into my mind, the way she looked at me just before they dragged her away. Wide eyes, lips trembling, like she wanted to speak but couldn’t.

She was terrified.

I turned on my heel and strode out of the hall, ignoring the murmurs, the sobs, the stench of fear clinging to the air. Once I hit the corridor, I pulled

    RONALDThe ledgers.Of course it came back to them. Those damn black books no thicker than a bible, filled with decades of numbers, names, debts, blood and a fuck Ron of secrets. The kind of pages men would sell their own families to get. I had buried them over a decade ago, praying, hoping that they would stay dead. But fate had a way of fucking up everything.I blew out a breath, tapping on my steering, eyes glued to the busy intersection. I should have burnt that book to ash when I had the chance but Lydia had convinced me otherwise, saying it might be useful in the future.I should have known listening to her would lead to a trail of chaos.She was right about one thing. The book could be used as leverage. But never did I think this was how it would be used.Catherine’s face burned in my mind again. Her wide eyes, the tremble in her lips before they dragged her away. I saw her fear, but I also saw something else… trust. She looked at me like she believed I could fix this. Like I

    CATHERINEI watched as Ronald walked away, my heart pounding so hard I was so sure everyone around me could hear it.My cheek still burned, but it wasn’t the sting of the slap that hurt… some part of me still felt like I deserved it. Every bit of it. Not because of Ronald’s ex wife’s accusation, although they weren’t far fetched, but for what I was doing. For what I was about to do. The whispers rippled through the hall like a drop of stone in water, there were a bunch of elites side eyeing the living daylights out of me but I couldn’t bring myself to care.Because in five minutes, this entire place was going to descend into chaos, and I would be the reason why.I clutched my purse, forcing my legs to move, each click of my heels on the polished tile sounding like a countdown to destruction. The restroom door closed behind me with a hollow thud and my hands trembled as I dug out my phone, my thumb hovering over the message I’d already typed.‘Done.’I hit send.I blew out a heavy bre

    RONALDThe hall seemed like it was holding its breath, waiting for chaos to erupt. She stared straight ahead, our eyes locking. She had that crazy look in her eyes, one I didn’t miss.My stomach dropped. I muttered a curse under my breath. Someone was going to die tonight, Quinn. I’d told him to fucking watch her but here she was.She was walking… no, storming, through the crowd like a hurricane. Reporters were already scrambling to capture the moment, lenses clicking in rapid succession. And before I could intercept her, she was right in front of Catherine.Then her hand arced through the air and cracked against Catherine’s cheek.The sound was sharp, violent enough that it silenced the room. Catherine’s head jerked to the side from the force of it. A perfect, angry red mark bloomed on her pale skin.For a second, I didn’t move. Not because I was frozen, because I was trying not to explode.The crowd gasped, then the whispers spread like wildfire. Phones were out in an instant, camer

    RONALDI hated these events.The clatter of cutlery, the clinking of wine glasses, the low hum of a hundred fake conversations… everything was enough to make me want to claw my way out of my own skin.It was always the same, every time I walked into a room like this, it felt like I was suffocating. The air felt heavy, like everyone was trying too hard to impress everyone else, that, and the scent of overpriced cologne and desperation clung to everything.I glanced across the table. Catherine was sitting there, as perfect as always, a straight posture, her black hair falling loosely around her shoulders. Not once that night had she looked me in the eye. Not once. She’d spoken when necessary, smiled when required, but not for me. It was like I was invisible.And I couldn’t tell if that was because she was still pissed at me… or because something else was gnawing at her.I thought we were getting somewhere when she’d said we should move forward. Maybe it wasn’t the case.I loosened my ti

    CATHERINEA soft ping jolted me out of my restless thoughts.My phone buzzed on the nightstand and I grabbed it instinctively, praying it wasn’t T again.It was.T: Tomorrow. 9 a.m. Sharp. Parking garage on 5th. Bring what you’ve found.I stared at the screen, my pulse hammering loudly in my ears. What I’ve found. The irony was, I hadn’t found anything. Not yet. Nothing but a shaky video that could still be fake and my own crumbling resolve.My thumb hovered over the keyboard. I can’t do this anymore. I wanted to type it, to tell T to find someone else, to tell him I was out.But before I could, another message flashed across my screen.T: Don’t be late. Ronald’s expecting a shipment tomorrow night. If you’re not there, you’ll miss your chance to see who he really is.My heart stuttered. Shipment?My mind immediately went to the worst possibilities… guns, drugs, something darker. But what if it was just business? What if T was twisting something harmless into something dark?I typed
