Chapter Eight

Topeka, Kansas

Cole sat in the ratty old Dodge Dart he’d picked up from a second-hand dealer for a few hundred bucks. He owned a nicer car but it was easily identifiable. He was here on the down low. Watching. Waiting.

Parked on the street just down from Addie’s condo, he scrolled through his phone as he kept one eye out. He’d sat in the parking lot of her office building most of the previous day but she’d never shown up. She had to come home eventually. Unless he’d spooked her so much that she wouldn’t go home. He doubted that was the case. She was a spunky little gal.

She’d stood up to him in the beginning. They’d actually gotten along well in the very beginning, when they were young and in love. He’d graduated from Kansas University five years before she did, but he chose the private sector, representing the scum of the earth. Addie had always wanted to work in the public sector, prosecuting said scum. He didn’t care. A law degree was a law degree.

Then she began showing him up with better grades than he’d gotten in school, and more recognition. That infuriated the hell out of him. She’d received an offer too good to pass up from the Dallas District Attorney’s office, and he’d agreed to move there with her. But the only position he could find was with an ambulance-chasing shyster, so his irritation grew as she flourished.

She’d helped him land a better gig with a more reputable firm, and his pay increased. For a while it seemed like they might be okay.

That’s when the nagging began. She’d been concerned about school loans and hadn’t liked it when he’d arrived home with sporty Tesla Model S. He’d been working hard and thought he’d deserved an eighty-thousand dollar car. She hadn’t agreed. That night he made her rethink her position on the argument. With his fist.

He apologized the next day, but reminded her that it was her fault. He forced her to say the words.

The incident would be repeated, and he always said he was sorry afterwards. But it was still her fault. He made her admit that, out loud, each time. Eventually, she began to understand.

He kept the car.

She learned how to use concealing makeup.
