CHAPTER 24

NOW – AVA

I carry two handfuls of groceries to my car, feeling light, energetic even. After my intense gym session with Lucas, I went home, cleaned and strapped my hands, and decided for the first time since it all happened to get out of the house for something other than work or drinking. I didn’t go far, just to the store to get some food to make myself a nice dinner, but it was a start, and it felt good to do something productive.

I think about Lucas as I walk and how incredible it felt to be with him. I didn’t realize until that moment in the gym that I have feelings for the broody, mysterious detective. I don’t know when they started. I don’t know how they formed, but they were there and they felt amazing. I haven’t experienced anything like it, and it scares the hell out of me.

Lucas and I . . . we’re from two different worlds.

I juggle my bags as I lift my purse to get my keys. I reach in and find them, pulling them out.

“Ava, how wonderful to see you.”

At the very sound of that voice, my entire body goes stiff. I straighten my back and turn slowly, seeing a face I never wanted to see again in my life. I take a shaky, terrified breath and clutch my purse close, praying this is just a dream.

When he steps closer, I know it isn’t.

“You didn’t think I would just disappear, did you?”

I stare at the man who shot Bethy, the man who ruined my life, the man who wants to destroy my father. I stare and a hard, thick lump forms in my throat as I see her face flash before my eyes as she begged for her life. He must see it, because he throws his head back and laughs. God. Evil. So incredibly evil.

“Look at you; I can just about read your thoughts.” He chuckles. “Let me guess—you’re seeing her face? How does it feel? I mean, it looks like you’re doing just fine, but that couldn’t be true because you chose to end an innocent life. There is no possible way you could feel normal.”

Pain stabs into my chest, and I slowly move my hand down to my phone in my bag. I’m not going to let this man take me—not again. I can’t. I won’t. My fingers curl around my phone and I carefully press the button on the screen to unlock it, praying it’s right. I pray that my finger is hovering over the #1 button that will dial Lucas. I pray.

“What do you want from me?” I whisper, literally begging the gods that Lucas has been dialed and has answered the phone. I shift, hoping if by some small miracle my phone call has been answered, that Lucas can hear. “I did everything you wanted. Now leave me alone.”

He barks a laugh. “You’re not doing everything I wanted. I wanted you to suffer, to break, to make your family hurt, and that isn’t happening.
