“And I’m prepared to let her have it in exchange for a favor

from her husband, whenever I choose to call it in.”

A favor? Who was her husband?

She paused and then clarified, “Her soon-to-be police

commissioner husband, Martin Scott.”

I blinked long and hard, anger winding its way through my

stomach.

Martin Scott.

As in Emory Scott.

The girl with the abusive—police officer—older brother

whom Kai and Will were sent to prison for assaulting as

payback for beating up on his little sister.

The little sister who wasn’t little anymore and who Will

was still obsessed with.

He hated us, and was now more powerful than ever.

Rika shot up, grabbed a sword off the wall, and whipped

around, holding it at her side and pinning me with a stare.

“And guess where he plays billiards every Friday night?” she

taunted.

“See, the thing I always wondered about was,” she said,

circling the table, and I did the same, glass in hand. “Kai and

Will served time for assaulting Martin Scott, but…” She eyed

me. “They weren’t the only ones there. Someone was

filming.”

You little shit.

“And that’s like… aiding and abetting, right?” she asked.

The glass shattered in my fist, and I felt the sting of a cut

as the liquid spilled and the shards fell to the ground.

She just smirked at me, a glint in her blue eyes. “Queen

takes rook.”

You fucking bitch.
