There’s no order in chaos.

Chapter 20

“Ma’am, let me get your bag!”

The voice belonged to a man on Louisa’s payroll, Nolan. She’d just stepped off her private jet in Miami, Florida. The air was hot and humid, and she welcomed the beating sun on her tanned skin. She tossed her monogrammed Louis Vuitton Keepall to Nolan and walked on the runway to an awaiting white Range Rover. Once she was in the passenger seat, she touched up her makeup and waited for her luggage to be loaded into the back. One thing Louisa loved was being a beautiful woman, and she would do anything to keep her youth. As she looked in the mirror of the sun visor, she noticed a line underneath her right eye.

“Oh, no you don’t,” she said and covered it with concealer.

She made a mental note to get it touched up with some Botox while she was in town. After applying another coat of red lipstick, she flipped the visor back up and let out an impatient sigh. She was growing bored with the scenery around her and wanted to leave.

“You aren’t finished yet?”

“Almost, Louisa. We just didn’t expect you to come back with so many things,” Nolan said as he and another stacked the last of her bags in the back. “We would have readied a different vehicle if we knew.”

“Shopping always helps me when I have a lot on my mind.”

“I see.” Nolan got into the car and looked back at the jet as if he were waiting for someone else to step off. “No Daniella?”

It was the first time since she had died that someone had spoken her name in Louisa’s presence. It would have been nice to say that she felt some sort of remorse from killing her only niece, but she didn’t. There was no regret. When Louisa heard the heartfelt way that Zo was talking to Daniella, she realized that he probably wouldn’t stop at anything to get her back. He wanted Daniella to see his love for her and their family, and eventually Louisa knew Daniella would see it. Not only did that make her a liability, but it also meant she would choose someone else over her, just like Marco had. The only reasonable thing to do at that point was to kill Daniella. If Louisa couldn’t have her, no one could. She thought about killing Christina too so Zo would understand what it felt like to be all alone, but what Louisa had up her sleeve was much sweeter.

“She won’t be coming, now or ever.”

“Oh,” Nolan said and then understood what the words meant. “Oh.”

“Never speak her name to me again.”

“She’s already forgotten.” Nolan gestured as if he were throwing something out the window before driving off.

“Good. How is my money looking?”

“Up ten percent from last week.”

“Good. What about weapons and drugs distro?”

“All orders went out three days ago. There is one little problem.”

“And that is?”

“G Baby in Little Haiti. He’s claiming we shorted him again. He just got his order today.
