Jenna landed in her office an hour later with her mind whirling. Three months. She needed to get everything done and get the hell out of there in three months. She’d also need to post twenty-four-hour surveillance on her wine bar. If these clowns wanted to get personal, they would surely go after it. If she avoided them as she intended, they would go after it. It was a made-for-TV movie with these yuck-ups.

Josh had gone for coffee with Jax, to scout out the area. He was wearing his “killing” hat, so Jenna knew better than to say “boo.” Jenna got her messages, skipping past those from reporters, and deleting one from her father’s assistant. The assistant, on behalf of her father, was worried for her safety. How nice.

Monica appeared shortly after Jenna started contemplating what they needed to do to finish their work in three months. “Jenna?”

Jenna looked up with a hint of impatience. “Yes, Monica.”

Monica looked toward Josh’s seat. Her posture fell a little when she found it empty. “I heard about the groundbreaking and the gala and everything. Are you okay?”

“Yes, thank you for asking. Listen, I’m glad you’re here. We need to turn up the volume around here. We are going to be working faster. I need you at your full potential.”

Monica’s eyes widened but she stayed silent. The younger woman hated Jenna with a passion; it was all over the gossip circuit. She found enough ears willing to listen, and wasn’t shy about voicing her opinion. But Jenna didn’t care. It just meant she didn’t have to be as polite.

“Okay, we’ll meet in the conference room in thirty minutes. Please tell Erika and Mike.”

Monica barely nodded and walked out. Jenna grabbed her things and went to find Don. When she walked into his office, he was at his desk, rubbing his eyes.

“Jenna. Come in. Camille. Go away. And shut the door.” Jenna heard the familiar scoff behind her as she took a chair facing Don at his big desk.

“I got threatened,” Jenna began. It was time to take a stand. As Erika had said, she needed to fight back. Last night, when Jenna had been lucid again, she and Erika had a heart-to-heart and made some hard decisions about what they needed to do. It involved her past and her old, disreputable friends. Jenna wanted to do anything but go back to the life she’d left behind—even if it was going to be just long enough to get them out of their current predicament. But after they’d talked about it for over an hour, it was clear: there was no other way.

There was also no way Jenna could do it alone. She needed Don. After all, he still had his hand in the muddied waters of his past, and he had gotten them into this in the first place.

She just hoped she didn’t have to guilt-trip him into helping.

“I’m afraid I’ve gotten you into a pickle, kid.” Don leaned back in his chair, his girth substantially reduced in the last few weeks.
