Piece of cake, right?

CHAPTERNINETEEN

Maggie

There’s a party roaring just on the other side of that door, and I’m hiding out in this room like a little bitch.What the fuck is that?I don’t know what they’re celebrating, and an hour ago, I didn’t really give a shit. But now? I’m not just curious. I’m pissed off.

Is Nova out there partying it up, letting one of those biker bitches rub up against him when his cock still smells of my pussy juices? “Ugh. Nasty.”

I need to get the fuck out of Angel Harbor and away from the Bloodthirsty Devils and the Reckless Souls. I have a plan, but to make sure it’s going to work, I need to access the internet because I got no phone.I need to leave this fucking room,I tell myself as I stare at the door and listen to the rock music blasting through the building.

It’s now or never, Maggie.Fuck that. It’s now.

I rush across the room and yank the door open, stepping outside and feeling like a badass. I saunter into the bar where it’s loud enough to wash away any second thoughts running through my mind. I grab a beer and lean against the bar, scanning the room and noting all the smiles. I freeze for a second as my gaze lands on Viper, who goes by Banger now. He’s alive. And he’s staring right at me.

Shit.

I need to expedite my plan because no matter what Nova says, it isn’t safe for me here. I spot a familiar face, the sexy hacker dude Letty pointed out when I first arrived. I slowly make my way over to him, putting what I hope is a flirty smile on my face. “Hey there. Wild Man, right?”

His blue eyes are bright and full of amusement. “Yep, that’s me.” He doesn’t look interested, but it doesn’t matter because neither do I. He’s hot, but he’s not Nova. He is, however, the only person I know who might be willing to give me what I need.

“Need something?”

I lean in close, a slow smile on my mouth. “You have no idea.”

“Is that right?”

I nod. “I’m hoping you can help me with something, handsome.” He has that exotic appeal that most women love, and I probably would too if I wasn’t already hung up on the aloof doctor. But now I’m sure he’s what I need. Nova talked about Wild Man.

“What do you need? Maggie, isn’t it?” His brow arches as if to saytwo can play that game.

I laugh, nodding and playing the game right back. “That’s me. Maggie. But you already know that since you’re the resident hacker who did a deep dive into my sordid past.”

“Guilty.”

I lay a hand on his bicep and give it a squeeze. “Good, because what I need from you is simple.”

He leans forward, getting in my face as if he’s challenging me instead of flirting back. “Yeah? And what is it that you need, Maggie?”

I frown at his tone and pull back to examine his face. My hand goes to my hair but I remember, I’m wearing a bandana, and then my hand goes to the scar on my face.

“What the fuck is going on here?” The voice belongs to a female, and though I’m not completely sure who’s with who around here, the possessive note in her voice tells me that the hacker is her man. Or she wants him to be.

I turn real slow, smirking as I eyeball the baker chick Maven. “What’s happening is we’re having a private convo, so mind your own fucking business.”

The mousy baker slides between me and Wild Man with an ease I might have found impressive if she wasn’t blocking my escape. “He is myfuckingbusiness, so anything you have to say to him, you can say to me.”

The music stops and it’s like all eyes on me. But I feel alive, most alive since my own crew tried to kill me.

“Nah, we were chill before you brought your crazy ass over here.”

Hate burns in her eyes and she lunges. I lunge back. “Let’s go puta, I’ll fuck you up—”

Some dude yells over the noise “Cut this shit out!” But I’m focused on taking Mousey down.

“Guess fucking all these bikers has perks, huh?” I smile and set her off.
