Chapter Nine

Sean

I anonymously leaked the video to every outlet in the media. It was important Maximum Shot didn’t realize I was Slade’s biggest accomplice. I had to make sure my own daughter wasn’t his next target.

Jeremy walked into my office and handed me my morning coffee and newspaper. “Anything else I can get you, sir?”

“No, thank you.”

He walked out and left me alone.

I sipped my coffee then opened the newspaper. Right on the first page was the headliner. FASHION GURU MAXIMUM SHOT ACCUSED OF RAPE. My lips automatically rose in a smile when I saw his picture alongside his previous victim. “You’re going down, motherfucker.” I set the newspaper on my desk then turned on the news. Like I expected, every major broadcasting company was playing the video for the whole world to see.

Vengeance never felt so good. I knew Mike would like the turn of events. And I wasn’t even done yet. With Slade and I working together, we’d make this guy regret every single thing he ever did to my niece.

My office door burst open and I knew exactly who it was without looking.

“Did you see the news?”

“Yep.” I pointed to my television.

“This. Is. Fucking. Awesome.” He clapped his hands then rubbed his palms together. “He’s going down hard.”

“I know.” I couldn’t erase my smile. “How’d it go with his wife?”

“She left him.” Now Slade was grinning. “Packed up her things and left.”

“Good. I feel bad for her.” Married to a cheating spouse was painful enough but to a sexual predator made it a million times worse.

“Me too,” Slade said. “But now that she has a heads up she was able to gather all the money she could before she took off. At least she won’t be struggling when the government is seizing his bank accounts.”

“True. We did a her a favor.”

“He’s got two kids too,” Slade said sadly. “Poor kids.”

“That is sad.” I would die if I let my family down like that.

“Now what?” Slade asked. “The plan is in motion.”

“My PI says he thinks he’s found something in his tax returns. He’s going to do more digging. If he finds anything we’ll tear Maximum down.”

“Can’t this woman just press charges?”

“She could,” I said. “But the process will take forever, and since the assault happened so long ago there’s not a lot of evidence. But if we have a paper trail to tax evasion, the federal court system will drag him under within a snap of a finger. If we want him in prison ASAP that’s our best option.”

“Okay,” Slade said.

“If I were you, I would relocate.”

“What does that mean?” Slade asked.

I started counting on my fingers. “His wife left him. He’s being accused of rape. And soon he’s going to be in serious trouble with the feds. When people are at a low point like that they’ll do crazy things. You and Trinity should leave your apartment and go somewhere he can’t trace you.”

Slade took this in before he slowly nodded. “You’re right.”

“I can rent a hotel room or something under my name if that will help,” he said.
