“You’ve got to give me something, Reaper… Anything at this point, honestly.” My voice was strained,and I was doing all I could to prevent myself from lashing out.
It was frustrating as hell that we still don’t know who the fuck was behind Ava’s attack. It was fuckingwith my head that whoever hurt her was still out there. Was still walking scot–free, as if the bastardhadn’t hurt the woman I love.
Every day I leave the house or Ava leaves our home, worry fills me. I can’t help the questions that floodand attack my mind. What if someone hurts her when she’s home? What if someone attacks her whenshe’s out in the streets?
I know I have hired the best bodyguards, and Reaper has his men watching over her too, but I still can’thelp the worst scenarios that keep flooding my mind day in and day out.
“You’re not the only one frustrated by the whole damn situation.” Reaper snaps back, his restlessnessvery clear in his voice. “But I’ve tried everything to find this guy, and nada. Absolutely nothing. I couldn’teven find the damn car they used.”
I frown as the details pour out of his mouth. I would have snapped back, but his statement distractedme.
“That’s impossible? How is there no record or evidence of the car?” I ask. “Unless the bastards torchedit after us.”
It’s the only thing that made sense, worked close together, but there hasn’t been anything. Nothing topoint us in the right direction. My men can’t find a damn thing, and neither can his men. The police are
also useless in this case.
“That’s what I thought, too.” His reply is cold.
I’m not one to be unnerved, but Reaper does unnerve me. There was just something about the fuckerthat was devious and sinister. If it weren’t for the fact that I needed his help in keeping Ava safe, Iwouldn’t be associated with him in the first place “So what will we do now?” he asks after a while.
It’s a question that I’ve been asking myself a lot lately.
“We wait and hope that whoever they are, they’ll slip up. Once that happens, we’ll be there to catchthem.”
My mind wanders to Ava. Every minute and every hour, she’s all I can think about. I’m not ashamed tosay of hold she has on me.
“By the way, I need a favor.” Reaper rips me from my musings, bringing me back to the present.novelbin
Leaning forward in my chair, I clutch my phone tightly, curious about what Reaper would need helpwith.
We were alike in some aspects, such as this. We both would never ask each other for help unless itwas truly necessary.
“With what?”
“I need Corrine’s address,” he states in a flat voice, devoid of any emotion.
I fall back into my chair and grin. Ah, so I wasn’t wrong that day at the hospital. Something had passedbetween them. It was in the way that both of them stared at each other. As if they couldn’t pull theireyes away.
“Can’t you just have her checked out? I’m sure it wouldn’t take one of your men long before you hadthe address you’re looking for.
Men like us always get what we want. It doesn’t even take that much digging to find the information weare looking for. Which makes me all the more curious about why he would ask me for a favor.
“Yes, but I want to do things the right way. Somehow I feel Corrine isn’t the kind of women to appreciatea stranger digging into her life.” He breathes out. “This is the best course of action. If I show up at herdoorstep and she asks how I got her address, I will simply say you gave it to me since she and Ava arefriends.”
“Seriously? Do you want Ava to castrate me? Especially if she finds out that you’re a criminal. That isjust not fucking right.” I growl standing up.
I am double sure that Corrine would tell Letty… And even though Ava doesn’t really remember Reeper,
Letty would still fill her in because the woman simply doesn’t know how to keep her mouth shut.
“Say’s the guy that’s still fooling Ava by making her believe that you two are still married,” he says,clicking his tongue before hanging up. Touche‘.
Sighing, I stare at my office, wondering why the hell I was still there when it was already time to gohome Reaper is right, though; I was a fucking hypocrite for speaking about rights and wrongs when Iwas still lying to Ava.
