A Day to Say Goodbye
Joy moaned around the ball gag in her mouth. The guy behind her, Tetsuya slapped her ass again, and she thrust back at him, eyes glassy. Spencer sipped a bottle of beer and watched, so lost in thought and anger he barely noticed the woman sucking his own cock or the show going on in front of him.
Ten men had been gathered to him in the Tower, ten of Spencerâs supposed allies. He trusted none of them. That was entirely the point. He was trying to read their reactions, to see if there were any secretive looks or half-hidden smirks. So far, he was disappointed.
Two weeks before, from a perch in a nearby office building across the street from a cemetery, he watched Rhea be lowered into the ground. Spencer was not in a kind mood since, and he kept getting distracted by errant thoughts and what-ifs. He tried to focus on Joy but it was pretty damn hard.
Just as he said goodbye to one woman in his life, he was preparing to say goodbye to another. This would be Joyâs last full day at the Tower. Someone on the inside fed whoever killed Rhea information, and despite knowing in his heart it wasnât Joy, Spencer had to sever ties to anyone who had a stake in seeing his downfall. Joy was right at the top of that list with a bullet.
Her panties on the floor kept drawing his eye. There was nothing remarkable about the French cut, but something about them sparked some dissonance inside his mind, as though there was something heâd seen but forgotten, something important.

The need to find Rheaâs killer pulsed inside him. She had been fundamentally good, and monster though Spencer might be, he still believed in leaving the truly kind and decent in this world untouched and protected. They were firmly off-limits.
On the other hand, his innate fatalism told him this was always bound to happen, that it happened before and it would happen again. Innocents would always be the most grievous victims of his power. He could fool himself into thinking he was creating a kind of order in Vineport, strangling the harder drugs trade, consolidating the sex workers and their pimps into tightly controlled prostitution rings, and harshly punishing anyone who went full rabid. The truth was, he was a kingpin, and with that came collateral damage every single day. He just didnât see it as up close and personal as he had with Rhea. It was easy to ignore the suffering you caused if you werenât actually faced with it.
âYouâre distracted,â the woman between his knees said. Kim was a South Korean beauty, a slim, beautiful thing with an eternal smile on her face. She came to the Tower four months ago looking to
