“That dress doesn’t look gala-appropriate,” Neil said as he stepped into the archway between my primary bedroom and bathroom suite.

I glanced at him through the reflection in the mirror above my vanity. “Another opportunity came up that I couldn’t refuse.”

An opportunity to capture a European member of the Circle who’d decided to visit the United States for an early morning meeting with an associate. I wanted this heavy hitter out of the country and tucked away in a nice cell before sunrise.

I needed Shah agitated and suspicious of everyone around him. And by taking out the broker who negotiated all of the Circle’s international deals and the person Shah planned to enjoy breakfast with tomorrow morning, I’d accomplish my goal.

I expected Neil to eat my head later for keeping him in the dark. However, in my defense, I’d waited a full week after the incident and interrogation in which Joshi essentially became our walking, talking puppet.

And considering what I’d discovered while I snooped last night, I had to act the moment I heard the rumor of our perp boarding his flight.

But then again, if I’d told anyone I’d planned to sneak into the Shah Mansion again, they would have lost their shit. For weeks, my gut had been screaming at me to learn what Shah was keeping hidden away in that compartment.

Never in my life could I have guessed the rabbit hole ran so deep.

Now I knew that Shah kept records of everything. From his involvement with Veda Kumari and his constant updates on Sam’s whereabouts, to the history of the Circle of Ten, the deals, especially every single person’s contribution, and most of all, every member’s dirty laundry, including his own.

Then, there was Mia’s biological father, the man Joshi had eliminated to make space for his son Lukesh to join the Circle: Kasim Simran.

He had been a Bollywood superstar who’d transitioned into media mogul and died tragically, as far as the world knew, in an unexpected avalanche during an adventure vacation in Nepal.

Shah had collected names, dates, banking transactions, and even phone records of everyone involved in his death. The people involved in this scheme ran the gambit of political heavyweights around the world to real estate tycoons.

It was Shah’s insurance policy to maintain his place in the world and the reason Arun Joshi kept up the charade of friendship when he hated Shah so damn much.

“What aren’t you telling me?” Neil moved closer, taking a seat on the dressing sofa in the center of my bathroom.

“I never tell you everything. You should know this by now.”

“You went to Shah’s house last night after I told you to wait.” His tone remained neutral, but irritation sat right under the surface.

We’d worked together too often for him to hide it, and he knew me too well to
