CHAPTER 16

Selena

As we left, Aiden and Dominic paced ahead of me into the parking lot. Dominic said quietly to Aiden, "You have to let her have the hard drives and the cell phones."

It was supposed to be too quiet for me to overhear, but I did. Even after that moment when I’d held a gun and hadn’t shot him, Aiden still didn't entirely trust me.

And I didn’t entirely trust him.

Maybe I should take the files and run.

Once we got to the car and we had pulled down the street, Aiden pulled over, and he and Dominic pulled the various files and hardware they'd hidden on their bodies out and deposited them onto the box in my lap. We'd made it through the scans thanks to my special watch, making it look as if we didn't have any evidence.

Now I was staring down once again into a box that contained everything that remained about my parents’ untimely death.

Our drive home was quiet. I dreaded looking at the evidence at the same time as I felt desperate to know. What if it didn't contain any info that led me to my parents' killers?

Aiden must have sensed my unease because he reached over to take my hand. His touch was comforting, and I couldn't help but feel a spark of desire at the same time.

I couldn't stop thinking about the way he'd kissed me in the evidence storage room. I couldn't stop thinking about what it would be like to forget about my past for a few hours with Aiden.

But I'd finally found a part of my fractured past, and I'd been waiting for the chance at revenge all my life. I wasn't sure I could afford a distraction like Aiden and Dominic and Xander.

We reached the house. Aiden and Dominic were both strapped, given that FBI agents always carried. Aiden pulled off his suit jacket impatiently once we reached the kitchen, then pulled off his harness and laid it on the long marble countertop.

"Are you ready to look through everything?" he asked.

I nodded, and we moved to the big, eat-in table on the other side of the kitchen. We began to go through the files. I didn't want to look at any of it with company, because I was afraid I'd see something that would make me cry.

To the best of my knowledge, nobody had ever seen me cry.

I'd shed my last tear in that closet, huddled in a corner, silent with fear.

Aiden and Dominic were silent as they worked through the files, occasionally sharing a look or murmuring something to each other. I couldn't concentrate, my mind was too full of thoughts about my parents and the unknown killers.

My hands shook with anger as I flipped through the pages of the file on their deaths.

My memories were fractured moments that I wasn’t entirely sure were even really true.

My mother rushing me toward the back of the house, trying to protect me, as my father headed past her with his gun toward the men breaking down our door.
