Kill Switch by Penelope Douglas

It kind of just came out, but I thought it was true. At one
time, I would’ve killed for Michael, Kai, and Will. I might
still.
But I’d definitely kill for Erika and Banks. They may not
like me a whole lot, but they understood me.
I pushed her knife off my neck and looked down at her.
“Now I’m impressed, but you’re on the wrong side,” I told
her.
And then I reached into my breast pocket and pulled out
the flash drive with the information Alex had retrieved. The
proof I said I would get in exchange for the information on
Winter’s father Rika got for me.
She looked at me, realization crossing her eyes and all the
anger leaving her face as she took it from my hand.
GGetting off her, I sat down next to her. “There’s more
coming. GGimme a few days.”
“It’s bad?” she asked, turning her head to look at me.
“It’s exactly what I told you last year,” I said. “I told you I
don’t lie. Evans Crist—and my father—had yours killed.”
It was something I’d picked up over years of accidently
overhearing conversations in my house, and I’d had Alex
working Evans Crist—Michael’s father—and gathering
security cam footage and bank statements that I knew he kept
just in case, so he could hold it over my father if he ever
needed to.
“Your father was involved?” Rika asked. “Why yours?”
It was a good question, and one I wasn’t sure how to
answer yet. It was obvious why Evans wanted to get rid of
Schraeder Fane. They were friends, and Evans had power of
attorney over his friend’s estate in case anything happened.
And Evans saw his chance. He wanted to marry Rika off to his
son Trevor when she grew up, so the Fane fortune would be
theirs. He knew Schraeder had no plans to allow his daughter
to marry too young, though, and he knew Rika’s mother was
much more pliable.
