“Uncle Frank?”

He grabbed me by the collar of my dress and yanked me inside before slamming the door shut. I stumbled over the clothes strewn about the floor. I then caught a glimpse of the only two windows in the room. Ivan’s car was pulling away from the curb. He couldn’t save me now.

I turned to face my uncle.

His lip lifted in disgust. “Look at you. Crawling home like a whore. Just like your mother.”

“Don’t you talk about my mother,” I warned through clenched teeth. She may not have been a model mother, but she’d done her best considering the man she married, and I wouldn’t let my uncle talk bad about her.

He spit onto the carpeted floor. “I’ll talk about that whore however I like. Now where is my fucking money.”

There was no escape. He was blocking the only door, and we were one floor up, too far to jump. Even if I wanted to call the police, they’d never get here in time. I could call out for help, but knowing the type of building I lived in, I doubted anyone would come.

“It’s not here.” Remembering Ivan’s rant about how I should have secured the money, I averted my gaze and said, “It’s in a safe deposit box at the bank.”

Uncle Frank stepped forward, raising his gun. “You’re lying.”

“No, I’m not.”

“You have the same tells your father does when he’s lying. He always looks away, too. Now I will not ask you again. Where is my money?”

I went on offense. Placing my hands on my hips, I asked, “What the fuck were you and Uncle Harry thinking, sending me that money anyway? Why the hell did you involve me?”

“We couldn’t risk sending it to a post office box, and you’re the only one we knew with a permanent address. Stop stalling. Hand it over.”

“Where is Uncle Harry? How come he hasn’t answered any of my calls?”

“He’s in Russia. I haven’t heard from him in over a week.”

Over a week? Was it possible Ivan had done something to Uncle Harry? It hadn’t occurred to me before this, but that would explain why he hadn’t called me back. After all, Ivan would have had to have gotten my contact information from someone. Someone had to have told him I was the one with the money. I assumed it had been Uncle Harry, but until I’d witnessed how Ivan treated Oliver last night, it hadn’t actually dawned on me Ivan would have hurt him in order to get that information.

I tilted my head and stared at Uncle Frank in shock. “What if something happened to him?”

Uncle Frank shrugged as he scratched under his jaw with the muzzle of the gun. “Then there’s more money for me.”

“He’s your brother!”

“So was your father. You don’t see me giving a shit that he’s in jail. Every man for himself.”

That seemed to be the Prescott family motto, that and ‘what’s in it for me.’ They hadn’t given a damn about me when I was
