Sitting quietly in the back of the room, Karina was careful not to draw attention to herself as she watched the scene play out on the trio of monitors suspended from the ceiling.

She wasn’t looking for anyone’s opinion on what she was doing—and she certainly didn’t want anyone trying to dissect what she was thinking while she watched—her only concern was the ongoing trial that only served to make her anxiety worse with each day that passed.

Despite her actions, this was the last thing she had expected to come of what she had done. In fact, she had banked on the fact that Uilleam was the Kingmaker and capable of making even the worst of circumstances disappear.

There wasn’t supposed to be a trial of coverage of any sort. And if she had had to wager a guess, she would have assumed Uilleam would have stayed in hiding for far longer than he did instead of appearing back in New York mere mo the later when the accusations were still fresh in everyone’s mind.

For the first time in what felt like ages, she didn’t know what he was thinking. He certainly had to have a plan of some sort—he wouldn’t be himself if he didn’t—but the fact that she couldn’t figure it out bothered her more than anything.

Not to mention, this was also the first time she wasn’t in control of the narrative.

In part because, despite what she initially believed, Uilleam’s attorney wasn’t nearly as incompetent as she has seemed that first day in the courtroom.

She might have been slight of frame, with glasses that always slid down the bridge of her nose, and hair an understated flat shade of brown, she was good at what she did.

She didn’t merely work with the facts, she also presented an alternative to what they all knew was true and managed to create the impossible—reasonable doubt.

“What have you found on her?” Katherine asked one of her associates at the front of the room, not bothering to hide the irritation in her voice.

Karina tipped her coffee to her lips, letting the warm, sweet liquid sit on her tongue for a bit before she swallowed.

It made sense that Katherine would either attempt to blackmail the woman or straight up threaten her, but she also had a feeling it wouldn’t be that easy.

“Parents died in some sort of accident—I’m still waiting on the full details for that. She had an older sister that lives down in Georgia, but from what I can find, the two are estranged and don’t really speak. Attempting to use her at this point probably wouldn’t do any good.”

Karina didn’t mean to smile when the girl finished speaking, but
