Chapter 10

Sawyer

I set this whole tragedy in motion. As I had been the one to discover Lesley was adopted, it’s all on my head. Honestly, I had stumbled upon that information completely by accident, and it’s frustrating to discover that a family history of a person isn’t that easily obtained when trying to find it intentionally.

Roland and I have been searching the Internet for Remi’s background and coming up with very little. Not even my life is this well-hidden. Either their family is the most boring family in the world, or someone purposely wants to remain off the radar.

I ease back from the laptop and drive my fingers through my hair. “This is pointless,” I say. What’s even more infuriating is the fact that Gage knows the truth, and I can’t just simply ask him.

Or can I? “Shit,” I curse.

“What?” Roland says. He’s sitting across from me at my dining room table.

My mother and Marshall are away planning their wedding. It’s a destination wedding. New Zealand. I know…super pretentious. But it at least gets my mother out of my hair for a while.

I look up at Roland, and a pang hits my chest. I’ve been so invested in this search—we’ve both been so invested—that we’ve done an exceptional job of ignoring the pain that being around each other causes. But every once in a while, it hits me like a mallet. Right in the chest.

I clear my throat. “Why don’t we just hack Gage’s computer?” I say.

Roland’s eyes narrow. “You can do that?”

“Me? No…but I might know someone who can, and this person may be willing to do so if there’s a promise that Gage might be annihilated in the near future.” I pick up my phone and text Bryce Kingsley.

Gage has been blackmailing him for the past two years. Ever since he discovered Bryce was living a duplicitous life as a male escort. Which is a tactful way of saying something that is far more salacious.

I fire off the text, and wait. My phone rings, and it’s Bryce’s number on the screen.

“I need your help,” I say, giving him a quick rundown of what I need.

He chuckles. “I’ve had access to his computer for years. There’s nothing there. Believe me, I’ve looked.”

Of course he has. He’s probably been trying to get out from underneath Gage for a long time. Shit. I palm my forehead, thinking. “Do you know anyone?” I ask.

“Sorry, Sawyer. If I could help, trust me, I’d be the first to help take Gage down a few pegs.”

I end the call. “Dammit.”

Roland stands and walks around the table toward me. “There’s probably nothing on any of his devices, anyway,” he says. “Astor is good about keeping his secrets hidden.”

I nod in agreement. As I look up at Roland, my heart flutters at his nearness. I reach out to touch his arm, and he backs away.

“I should go,” he says. “We’re not getting any closer.”

“To finding the truth, or us?” I ask.

“Both,” he says, turning his back to me.
