I stiffened. “You still hang out with her?”
He shrugged. “Yeah. Of course. Why wouldn’t I?”
“I don’t know. I guess I just thought you’d stop, ever since…” I trailed off and waved a hand. “Never mind. Here.” I grabbed my car keys and tossed them over to him.
“Thanks.”
“Have it back by five. I’m going out tonight.”
He gave me a tight smile. “Okay,” he said. “Have fun with your little waitress when you finally track her down.”
Oh, I will,I thought to myself, lips curving into a genuine smile at the thought.
I couldn’t wait to see Laney again. I hoped she wouldn’t be expecting any niceties, or even a shred of humanity, though. Anyone who knew me knew I was no saint, especially when it came to anyone who crossed me or my family.
When we crossed paths again—and we would, for sure—I was going to break her down until she was a mere shadow of a human being. Slowly but thoroughly, I would destroy every aspect of her life. Destroyher.
The smug little bitch had it coming, and the best part was that she had absolutely no idea. She thought she was so slick coming into my house like that the other night, and even when she realized who I was, she smiled and brazenly lied right to my face. She had no idea that I knew exactly what she did, or that I’d been searching for her for a long time now.
To be fair, I didn’t know I was searching for her either. I only knew I was searching for someone. Someone who needed to pay for their terrible actions.
It still shocked me that it turned out to be such a stunning, innocent-looking maid’s daughter who spent half her life with her nose buried in library books, but I guess it shouldn’t. After all, everyone knew that old saying. Still waters run deep.
I closed my eyes and lay back down with a tired grunt, returning to my fantasies about Laney for what must’ve been the thousandth time since I met her six weeks ago. My mind drifted back to thoughts of hurting her. Giving her exactly what she deserved; forcing her to her knees where she belonged.
She obviously thought she got away with everything she did, but I was going to prove her wrong. Oh-so fucking wrong.
It wouldn’t be long now.
A few more months, and she’d be completely at my mercy….
