“Do you think she’ll go?” Hope asked.

“I’ll figure out something before then. Someone needs to write Alastair a note. Do any of you know how she writes and can duplicate it enough to pass?”

Hope raised her hand. “I can try.”

“Good. Just tell him that she’s tired and wants to have a life,” Aria said. “Any other things she should say?”

“We’ll come up with something. Our men aren’t going to be happy that were involved,” Faith said.

“Are you afraid?” Aria asked.

Her daughters snorted and shook their heads.

“Hell no. In fact, I love this idea,” Angelica said. “Something needs to get Alastair’s attention.”

“Ladies?” Graham called from the doorway. “Come on. I have work to do.”

The girls stood and hugged her.

“We’ll see you tomorrow,” Faith said.

“Should we warn Beth?” Aria asked.

“No,” Hope said. “She couldn’t lie to save her, and she hated going against Alastair.”

“I’ll leave it up to her if she wants to come, but let’s have everything in place just in case,” Aria said.

She waved as the girls walked off.

Aria tilted her head back and let the sunshine warm her face. The feeling was something she’d missed when she was a prisoner in her own home.

“Pet, how are you doing?”

She turned to see her men with their hands in their pockets and smiled.

“I’m okay.”

“Do you need a nap?” Mateo asked.

“No, I have things to go over in the office. I’m still looking for the code to get into the safe. Any ideas?”

The men shook their heads.

Trent sighed. “We’ll come up with something. Just keep trying dates of birthdays or important things that happened to him.”

Her eyes widened. “Oh, my God, the code is Dominic’s birthday.”

“Fuck. It would be perfect because you thought he was gone and never spoke of him, and he is the only son that bastard had,” Mateo said. “Let’s go try it.”

In the office, they locked the door, pulled the picture off the wall, and stood looking at a silver metal safe.

“Tell me the date, pet,” Trent said.

She gave him the numbers, and they waited. She growled in frustration because she would have bet Dominic’s birthday was the combination.

“Do it backward,” Mateo said.

Trent went slowly and put in each number. All three were shocked but excited when they heard the click, and the door swung open.
