CHAPTER 15

HADES

Revenge didn’t taste as good as Hades thought it would.

He’d begun planning this outing two weeks ago, when he woke up nightmare-free and disturbingly grateful. As if he was losing all track of his goals. The urge to kill her hadn’t just faded over the months, it had completely disappeared.

He’d killed the Bulgarians too fast. Shot their grown, eldest sons through their backs in front of them, so that that they could watch their progeny die just like his mother. Then he’d tortured them to death, dismembered them, and buried them in various swamps. His efficiency in ending his mother’s murderers had been his mistake.

Their quick deaths had left him with a gaping hole that still needed filling. Persy’s father was the only one of the men in that room who remained alive. Making Antoine and his kin suffer—that was all he had left.

So he’d found a way to justify all the gifts and new freedoms he’d given her—not to mention the fact that she was still breathing.

Antoine Perreault had probably never expected to see his daughter again. As soon as she hadn’t shown up for breakfast the morning after her birthday gala, he began spreading rumors around their community that she’d gotten hooked on opioids and had run away from the life he’d given her.

That phony fonchok had even made a big show of lobbying the Governor of Louisiana to enact more laws to make opioids harder to access. And he’d been asking his friends to invest in a charity to battle the scourge of opioids shattering so many families.

He’d been covering his ass something fierce. So, humiliating Antoine by bringing his completely lucid runaway daughter to the biggest charity ball of the year had been the meal. But showing Persy what complete phonies the people in her former world were had been the dessert.

She’d probably thought one of them would actually lift a finger to help her. The truth was, the worlds of crime and business weren’t that far apart. Business had accountants. So did crime. Business hid money. So did crime.

Making the money was the easy part, keeping it hidden from the government was the hard stuff. Both business and crime could be heard lamenting that truth on any given day.

Antoine Perreault wielded influence and power over the people gathered at the Benton Grand.

So did Hades.

Her father had purposefully kept her naïve about the darker deals he arranged for his clients along the extremely thin line between business and crime. And Persy would probably be surprised to know how many of the men in that room knew Hades personally. Owed him. Favors, money, silence, even if they heard one of their scion babies calling for security.

But only Persy’s father owed him a blood debt. Antoine had gotten relaxed after handing his daughter over. He started spreading that cover-up story about her going wild and running off with some gang leader she’d met in a club. Even pretended to be ravaged with guilt. According to Hades’s sources,
