I know she asked my sister to do something, and knowing her penchant for hacking people’s shit, I can only guess that the two of them are trying to get more evidence. I guess my sister forgot the home security that covers every inch of my parents’ place.

I’d already seen it before we were called away to come here, but I’d seen enough to know that Kevin needed to be warned before things got out of hand. Since he was out of the country for another couple of weeks, it would have to wait, but in the meantime, Sabrina and Alyssa are working on getting into the house; at least, that’s what my sister said they were doing.

Natalie wouldn’t be suspicious of Sabrina since she’s someone she knew from the past, and knowing the way women think, she might see it as my sister joining her camp. That’s the best I can do for now until we get there, though I could go ahead and take care of things on my own.

But I won’t leave my wife here alone, especially not to go where Natalie is because Alyssa, for all her strength has a jealous streak a mile wide. I have no idea why I find that shit so sexy because, usually, it would piss me the fuck off.

But I like knowing that she doesn’t want anyone else getting close to me because I feel the same way about her. Her ex is skating pretty close to being lost in the woods with the stunt he pulled today, getting in her face.

That HRIG shot should be painful as hell for at least a few days but I’m not sure that’s enough. I don’t want my woman running into him around town for a repeat of this morning, so he has to go. Since she seems to have gotten it out of her system and has moved on to other things, I guess it’s up to me to take out the trash.

“What have you decided to do about Lacey?”

“I told Jacks to get her out of town. She thinks I’m going to post those pictures of her around town, but I only plan to give them to her parents if she doesn’t leave or ever decides to come back.”

“Where is she going?”

“I don’t know, and I don’t care, as long as it’s far away from here.” Hmm, I know just where to send those two. Maybe it’ll teach them to be better human beings. I wonder if either of them ever expected things to go this far when they screwed around behind her back?

“And Mitzie?”

“She wants to go to school for hair. I’m going to help her, maybe set her up with her own shop if she behaves herself. I think without Helen in her ear, there might be hope for her yet.”

“And your father?”

“Why did you have to bring him into this? This has nothing to do with my grievance against him. Why doesn’t anyone understand? It doesn’t matter what reasons they had for what they did or what they thought it was doing; the reality is that I had to live with the repercussions.”

“If someone ran you over in the street and paralyzed you, would you care if they said they didn’t mean it? Or would you be pissed that they’d fucked up your life?”

“I see your point.”

“Do you? So does that mean you’re gonna leave me alone about that shit?”

“Yes, ma’am.” She’s so testy. She tried slamming out of the car once we got back to the house, and I had to catch up with her and throw her over my shoulder to try to get her out of her snit. Just as I had planned, she laughed and tried beating in my back with her fists. “Put me down, you big idiot.”

“No, not until you forgive me.”

“Forgive you for what?”

“For upsetting you. You have to know that that’s never my intention.” She pouted and looked at my chest when I let her down on her feet.

“Okay, but don’t do it again.”

“Fine, now what about Helen?”

“What about her?”

“A good lawyer might be able to get her off since she claims it was an accident.”

“She can’t afford a lawyer.”

“So…? What are we thinking?”

“I say let her rot.”

“Done!” She looked at me squinty-eyed.

“You’re scary!”
