Too fucking easy.
Closing the door, I head straight for his desk, which is a complete fucking mess. How did he find anything?
Flipping through papers, groaning out loud when I can’t find anything, I’m about to give up and sneak back out when a folder stuck at the back of the drawer catches my eye. Yanking on it I pull it free just as I hear voices outside.
Quickly opening it I glance down and smile.
Fucking gotcha asshole.
Slamming the door shut not caring if Grant hears or not, I reef the door open, and walk straight out with Grant staring after me. I don’t wait around, I walk straight past him and out of the office. Bass catches up to me, grinning from ear to ear.
“You should have seen that fuckers’ face when you walked out, best shit I’ve seen in a long time.”
Sliding into the truck, I flip open the folder, pulling out the first page and handing it to Bass as he slides in beside me. He stares down at it then lifts his head toward mine. “Is this for real?” I nod.
“Fuck,” he growls as he leans over looking at the rest with me. Carter has enough evidence in this folder to tie him to Santonio’s murder.
This entire folder is full of notes and plans on how to destroy Santonio and take Nova.
“Wait,” Bass asks. Taking a piece of paper from the folder, he frowns, reading it then looks at me in confusion.
“What?” I say, snatching it from him. Looking over the paper, I see Nova’s name, it's a copy so I'm guessing her parents had the original. But I know it’s all fake because Santonio didn’t adopt Nova, he bought her.
“Un-fucking-believable.” Bass snaps and then I get to the part he’s referring to.
Wait, this is a birth certificate paper for Nova, but it has names down the bottom. Ones I don’t recognize.
And then I see in plain sight, her name.
Nova-lee Thompson.
What does this all mean? Is this her real name? Fuck, we have more digging to do.
“Fuck, man,” Bass says, dropping his head back on the headrest.
“Do you think whoever this is, are Nova’s real parents?” I ask him.
He shrugs. “I mean it’s possible, I just don’t understand why the fuck Carter is going through all this. Who was Nova before Santonio bought her? And why the fuck does he have her original birth certificate?” he asks.
Flipping to the last page a similar note to the ones Nova’s been receiving falls into my lap.
“What’s that?” Bass asks as I pick it up, reading it over.
Just a little longer my love and we can be together. I promise they won't bother us anymore, in time you’ll love me like I love you.
“What the fuck?” Bass and I both growl.
Sharing a look I start the truck, the urgent need to make sure Nova is safe grows inside me. This is his final note, the one he plans on sending before he takes her. How the fuck did it get in this folder with Carter’s things?
Driving a little faster than necessary, I make it back to Nova’s quickly. “Fuck, man, this is all fucked,” Bass says as we climb out. Heading inside, Cass and Jordy are waiting for us as we enter.
“Get Nova,” I say. Jordy runs upstairs to grab her while I hand the folder to Cass. He’s looking it over when Jordy re-enters with Nova behind him.
“What's going on?” Nova asks. Cass hands the folder to Jordy and while he looks it over, I take Nova’s hand and guide her to the sofa.
“I think Carter killed your father, Nova, and I think he did so he could get you back.”
Nova shakes her head. “Get me back? What do you mean?”
