She fucking smiles at me. “That you would kill me.”
I hold my hand in the air and Venom hands me a gun. It’s not as nice as my own, but it will have to do.
Once I press the barrel to her head, her eyes go wide. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you. I know who has been targeting you, but I ain’t tellin’ you shit until I speak to Van.”
A laugh peels from my lips, and I shake my head as I press the gun harder to her head. “See, here’s the thing, eventually whoever is targeting me will make a mistake and I will find them. Van is doing real good now, he is happy?—”
“And Angel is fucking beautiful,” Bee interjects, making Samantha sneer, and all it does is make Bee laugh.
“Oh, I heard about the whore you’re all fucking—word travels fast. But I wouldn’t be so hasty in killin’ me. Check my phone. There’s a nice recording in there.”
Bee pulls a piece-of-shit phone from her pocket. It must belong to Samantha and was taken from her earlier. All the money I gave her has to be gone . . . why else would she resurface now? Bee opens the phone and finds one single recording in the camera roll. I watch it over her shoulder—it’s grainy, but it’s a video of me and Samantha the day I paid her off.
“I would hate for Van to have to see it, but if I don’t check in by lunchtime today, it will be sent to him.”
That makes me laugh. “You’re a stupid bitch. You don’t think I have IT guys on my payroll? That every fucking message sent to us isn’t checked first? Nice try, though. Venom, do you have anyone who could discreetly take her to Grinder? I’m sure he could persuade her to talk.”
Venom shouts out for a guy named Timmy, and a scrawny-looking guy comes running into the room.
“You and Scraps take the bitch to Grinder. Use the van and back it up at the Inventory. Grinder will do the rest. Then take the van and get it detailed.”
Timmy nods and leaves the room.
“Thanks, I owe you one,” I tell him.
“Good,” Venom says, and Bee scoffs.
“This one is on the house. It’s about time you all got your happy ending.”
Now Venom laughs. “Woman, you can give me a happy ending.”
Bee smiles at Venom. “I just had Casper’s cock in my mouth.”
Venom bellows out a laugh. “Since when has that stopped me?”
And that’s my cue to leave. “I’m out. I’ll call Grinder, so he knows to expect a delivery.”
Bee waves me off as Venom mauls her face; if I stay any longer, I’ll need to bleach my eyes. Casper is now out in the main room behind the bar, and he gives me a nod as I walk past. Once I’m outside, Kayne jumps from the SUV, and I get my phone out of my pocket and pull up Grinder’s contact, dialing the shop’s phone number.
“Inventory,” he says. The guy doesn’t have a fucking mobile phone like a normal human being, but I suppose he isn’t normal.
“It’s Ronan. I have a delivery coming in, and this one needs to stay fresh.”
“Roger that. I will get you all the information you need.”
He ends the call. He doesn’t know exactly what information, but he also doesn’t care. I’m almost positive Grinder could give Killian a run for his money, especially now Kill is all loved up.
“I hate you,” Sadie screams as she runs into the kitchen this morning and latches onto my leg. Her sobs have me untangling myself and squatting to her level.
“What’s wrong?” I ask her.
“I hate him,” she says, followed by a sniffle. “I don’t want to go to that stupid school.”
Remembering once again why I am pissed at Darragh, I do my best to hold in my chuckle. It was obvious the second I stepped into the meeting at the school why he wanted me to attend; he needed me to pretend to be his fiancée. The school has a stupid policy about unwed parents, some bullshit about their values.
Apparently, we are to be married in a small affair with only friends and family present. I should have outed him—a public school closer to where his cousin lives would be as nice and just as suitable. But I didn’t because Eloise came running back in and threw herself at me, saying how much she loved it there, her tour guide having just given her a personal tour of the stables.
“Why do you hate him? He really is trying his best. All of this is new to him.”
