“You’re fucking crazy.”
“Perhaps.” I laughed as I studied him, his body slumping against his desk.
“You fucking bastard. I won’t stand for this! You’re out of your mind.”
I moved toward him quickly enough he jumped. “The choice is entirely up to you. If you don’t, the information I’ve just provided will begin to trickle out to the public. Soon, it will develop into a firestorm. I daresay that you’ll be ruined within three weeks, your connections drying up faster than the Sahara Desert.”
The anger in his eyes was immediate but it was quickly followed by resignation. He knew I had him by the balls and violence hadn’t been needed.
Yes, this would be a more enjoyable experience than putting a bullet through his brain.
“I’m getting married today. I can’t just leave.”
“And you and I both know you’re using your lovely bride, Gregory. She’s become just another tool in your toolbox. That’s evident by several of the rather vivid photographs. Don’t you think? You certainly do get around with women. Think of it this way. You’ll be doing her a favor.”
I was curious to find out if the lovely Stephanie Morgan had any idea that her fiancé had been cheating on her for years. If so, it was likely the hunger for money and power that had kept her in the relationship. I did so enjoy a woman with spunk, capable of breaking through the ‘all boys’ veil that continued to shroud politics and law enforcement.
I also loved a challenge.
What he didn’t know is that I had every intention of ensuring that he kept his end of the deal. One way of doing that was by enticing the soon to be jilted bride. What little I knew about the femme fatale prosecuting attorney had presented an additional layer of concerns. I would go under the assumption she’d been made aware of his upcoming plans, especially those involving his number one target for destruction.
I’d watched her. Fantasized about her.
In some ways, I’d become obsessed with her, learning what made her tick. My cock ached at the thought of what I would do to her.
It was possible she wasn’t the angel she purported herself to be as well. I would find out exactly what the beautiful woman had learned before tossing her aside.
Then I’d yank the rest of the justice system into a stranglehold, ensuring they never fucked with my organization again.
And if there was another entity involved, they would face my full wrath, one torturous moment at a time.
He shook his head and glanced down at the pictures for a second time, yanking the email into his hand, the piece of paper by far the most damning evidence. After he swallowed hard, his entire demeanor changed. “You’re going to pay for this. One day, I’ll send you straight to hell.”
“I suggest you get in line early, Gregory. Now, I am a busy man. What is your decision?”
I could tell he was churning the threat over in his mind. There was no choice. He knew it. I knew it.
“Fine.”
I nodded and headed for the door. “I’m glad to see you’re a reasonable man. As long as you keep your end of the deal we just made, the evidence will never see the light of day. However, if you fuck with me, I assure you that you won’t like the consequences.”
“How do I know you’ll keep your end of the deal?”
“Because I’m an honorable man. If only I could say the same about you.”
“Be careful, Alexei. Your end is near, both yours and your savage family’s. And I will enjoy every minute of watching you bleed.”
I moved to within an inch of him, taking several deep breaths before slamming him against the wall, shoving the barrel of my weapon against his temple. “I suggest you reconsider threatening me, Gregory. I’ve just given you a gift, which doesn’t happen very often. If you so much as vary from the plan I laid out for you, there won’t be a single rock you can crawl under and hide.”
Fear had a distinct stench and his was ripe.
Good.
I wanted the man afraid.
That would lead him into making stupid decisions. His arrogance would allow me to find out who’d been pushing his buttons and for what price.
Then I would strike.
