Their millions made on others’ agony and pain.
Cash and his crew, Sovereign Sanctum, focused on the abused. Helping women and children in horrible domestic situations get free and setting them up with new lives.
My crew?
We specialized in wiping out the organized.
Expunging the filthy underworld that stained society.
Cash’s crew and mine turned to each other when we needed the help.
Right then, I was in dire need of it.
For years, I’d been hunting for a way to extinguish Kent Ellison. The motherfucker who’d stolen everything from me.
I’d been so close until Kent had somehow managed to get to my sister, thinking he was getting me under his thumb by doing so.
Little did he know, he’d incited a war.
Now, everything was riding on this plan.
Cash
I know, man. But you know this situation is delicate. It’s going to take perfect planning.
I could feel his empathy. The dude had been the broodiest fucker I’d known until the only woman who could break through his wounds had made her way back to him.
Daisy and her three kids softening his hard, impenetrable heart.
Honestly, I’d do anything for the guy just because he’d do anything for me.
But what had me truly indebted to him? He was the one who’d physically gotten Elena out.
He’d gone in during the dead of night and rescued her.
Me
I know. But now that Dereck’s sister is here, it feels like a race against the clock.
I paced in the other direction, boots clomping across the dirt, hesitating before I tapped out another text, trying to put a finger on exactly what I was feeling.
Stomach unsettled and my mind spinning.
Me
Don’t trust him, man.
Cash
No. I don’t, either, but we’re still going to need to use the information he’s providing.
It was the deal.
Protection for Dereck’s sister and the gift of his pathetic life for the exact locations of Kent Ellison’s operations.
And it all had to come down on one specific night.
