“We’ll argue that you purchased the title insurance, but if the judge doesn’t agree that’s worth anything, the apartment will likely go to your father since he was the lien holder.”
Wasn’t that the cherry on top of this mess?
“We’ve already filed a motion that you’ve been aggrieved. If we look proactive, we believe that will help the case.”
“So what happens now?”
“We keep mounting up evidence in your favor. But the good news is, you won’t be behind bars any time soon,” Zegas said.
Again, nothing. Where was the excitement? The relief?
“I want David Wolken and Hal Mercer prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
We all turned to find my father standing at the edge of the table. I lifted a brow at Zegas. Had he been speaking to him behind my back?
But Zegas remained calm and collected. “We’re defense attorneys, Samuel.”
“And you need to make certain none of this comes to light in reference to my son’s mistakes.”
Anger bubbled hot and deep. Apparently, I needed my father to feel something.
“Yoursonhasn’t done anything wrong in this regard,” Zegas said coolly before I could respond.
It was odd having someone take up for me against my father.
Whitley slapped me on the back. “He’s a choir boy. Which makes our jobs a hell of a lot easier.”
“And I want those who’ve wronged him to pay. Dearly.” Father’s gaze was solely on me when he spoke. Was this his way of saying he was going to make me pay? Time would tell. “Come by my office when you’ve wrapped up here.” It appeared I wouldn’t have to wait that long to learn the cost. “Gentlemen.” He nodded at Zegas and Whitley before he strode off.
“You know he follows you.” Zegas cut off a bite of pie.
“I’m aware.”
“Would you care to do something about it?” Whitley asked.
Zegas lifted his hands in awhat givesmotion. “I thought you were out of the law. Or only defending the helpless.”
“This guy could finance that.” He grinned at me. “Unless they don’t unfreeze his assets.”
“Are we finished here?”
“You’re ready to leave?” Whitley asked incredulously. “But we’re having so much fun.”
“We’ll file suit today against Wolken.” Zegas had a gleam in his eye.
“It’ll be nice to have a client on the opposite end. Mine are the ones always getting sued.” Whitley demolished the rest of his pie.
“You got lucky on this one, Hollingsworth.” Zegas dropped his napkin on his empty plate. “Let’s just hope your luck holds out.”

“Funny thing happened today.”
It was almost midnight. I’d been waiting up for hours for Lincoln to arrive.
He immediately tensed. “Is everything okay?”
