I couldn’t remember the last time I’d been this furious. Keith Westland’s only saving grace had been that I believed him about not being willing to trade his sister for his mistakes. However, it didn’t mean I liked the guy.

He had tried grilling me about Devi on the ride to the electronics store, where Alvin did his business, but I had quickly shut that shit down. There was no way I was telling this asshole my intentions when I haven’t even spoken to Devi about them. Besides, we had more pressing business than my feelings for his sister, because, fuck, did I have feelings for her. I haven’t had time to dissect what the fuck this was all about yet, but I planned on rolling with it and making her mine.

When we pulled up to the storefront, I looked over at Keith. “I’ll let you pay the man, and I’ll let you act like you have a say in all this. But when it comes to any questions about Devi, those are mine to answer, got it?”

I wasn’t sure if it was the fact that we were at Alvin’s store, or what, that had Keith Westland settling into the reality of his situation, because he quickly agreed, rather than question me about his sister again. “Okay.”

Turning off the ignition, we got out of the car at the same time and made our way into the store. It was almost ten at night, but the store’s interior was lit up like it was noon. A pretty blonde greeted us as soon as we approached the sales counter, but the second her brown eyes recognized it was Keith underneath all the bruising, her smile dropped.

Keith didn’t waste any time dicking around with her. “Is Alvin in?”

She nodded. “I’ll…I’ll go get him.”

As she went to the back to get Fischer, I took a curious glance around the store. It looked like any other electronic store you saw in the neighborhood, but I knew there were bloodstains on the office floors in the back of the building.

It wasn’t even a full minute later, and the blonde was back, saying, “He said to go on back. You…You know where it is.”

Keith gave her a thankful nod. “Thanks, Erin.” I didn’t acknowledge her at all as I followed Keith behind the counter and through the store’s back hallway.

When we came upon the second door on the left, Keith murmured quietly, “This is it.” I didn’t comment as he knocked on the door.

“Come in,” came a voice from behind the door.

Keith put his hand on the knob and pushed the door open. Even though I was following behind him, I was taller than Keith by a couple of inches, so I was immediately greeted with the sight of Alvin Fischer leaning back in his desk chair, his feet kicked up on the desk. However, the second Alvin Fischer noticed me, he was quick to stand.

Sparing me only a quick glance, he faced Keith. “What’s this?”

Keith walked
