“What are you doing here?” I ask, glancing around the office to see if anyone’s hiding in the corner. “Where’s your brother?”

“Boyd’s having an extended lunch with his girlfriend. I was the one who asked you to meet.”

My eyebrows shoot up. “What?”

“You wanted to know who your blackmailer was,” she says, leaning forward and sliding a familiar flash drive across the desk, tapping it as it reaches me.

I stare at the drive, then look up at her. “You?”

A smile widens on her face, but it looks strained. “Kind of crazy how much I’ve picked up in such a short time, but I guess that’s the perk of being around hackers and IT people all the time now. Amazing what you can find out about a person, just by doing a little digging. Even one as private as you, Doctor.”

I narrow my eyes. “Is that so?”

She nods, producing another flash drive—this one slightly different from the one she just handed me.

It’s the same one I gave Rafe the day I convinced him to give me Elena.

My flash drive.

I look up at her, taking the drive and slipping it into my breast pocket, aware that this makes her the only other person in the world to know my dirtiest secret.

Initially, there was no one blackmailing Ricci Inc. at all.

It was just me.

My mind whirls, trying to process what she’s saying. How an eighteen-year-old girl’s held me by the fucking balls these last few months, but more importantly, why?

She gulps when I ask that, sitting up in her seat. “I could ask my brother, but you specialize in secrecy, right? Well, I did something... bad, and I need to disappear.”
