Bang!
Anna screamed as Max slumped forward across the assassin. She lifted her gaze as I stood and stumbled toward her father. Pain ripped through my side. I didn’t have much time…someone would be here soon enough and there was still too much to do. I fought the need to find her as Anna knelt in front of the bodies.
The small red light blinked from a camera high up on the wall.
But I couldn’t worry about that now.
“Get up.” I bent and yanked Dillon’s arm, forcing him up onto his feet.
His face was busted, one eye already swollen shut, and he swayed as he fought for balance.
“What are you…” he muttered. “What are you doing?”
Like Anna, he glanced toward Max’s body with shock and terror on his face.
“Move, Mr. Shaw,” I growled, shoving him forward. “Don’t make me ask twice.”
Agony tore through my side, making me stumble and clutch my arm against my ribs. The gun wavered in my hand, but I gripped it tight, my finger far away from the trigger. Dillon Shaw glanced over his shoulder as I clenched my jaw and drove him forward, through an office door and into the room.
The place was small and cluttered. A desk lamp was on, the glow barely brightening the room. But it was enough. I glanced around, and pulled out a chair. “Sit.”
He did as I instructed, looking shocked, hurt.Scared.
“Fin,” Anna cried behind me. “Fin, what are you doing?”
“The only thing I can.” I yanked the phone from the desk and tore the cords free, then knelt in front of Dillon to bind his ankles together. “What did you think was going to happen when my father found out?”
Anna’s father let out sob and shook his head.
“When you disappeared witha hundred and ninety-five million dollars?”I barked.
He just froze, his visible eye glassy. The other one was swollen shut, and his lips were bloody and raw. “I was going to send it…I was going to send it all,” he whimpered. “I swear.”
“You swear?” I stood at the words.
That savage part of me took hold, like poison in my veins.
But it wasn’t the blood of my father that corrupted me.
It wasn’t the hate and the rage of my mother’s death that pushed me to the brink and beyond.
It was her…Anna Shaw.
I took a step, grabbed her arm, and yanked.
“Fin!” She fought, trying her best to yank herself from my hold.
But there was no going back now. Not for me…or for her.
I lifted my gaze to a doorway on the other side of the office. “Move, Anna,” I growled.
My body was alive.
But my soul was scorched.
There was only us now.
Only her and me…and fuck me, I had to own her…or die trying.
