Chapter 16

EZRA

Lacey gave me a call at the start of the night. The usual enthusiasm I heard in her voice was gone. She told me everything was fine but I knew that wasn’t the case. I’d get my answer soon enough when I saw her.

I couldn’t get to her fast enough. I raced through the streets and got to her place, a small apartment in the middle of town. The door was open slightly when I arrived.

Lacey’s place wasn’t anything extravagant. It was mostly empty because she’d just arrived in town, not that I gave a shit one way or another.

The lights were off but it was easy to spot her next to the window. The way the moonlight shined made her look as gorgeous as she always did. Porcelain skin that seemed to glow like she was an angel.

But the look in her eyes… Just a blank stare as she looked out into the distance. She was motionless. She wasn’t even fucking blinking.

I took a few steps toward her.

“How was everything today?” I said.

“Fine. Just fine. It was busy today.”

“I hope you didn’t work too hard.”

“I’d rather work hard than not at all. Moving around the kitchen means that I don’t have to figure out a way to pass the time. Better than standing around.”

She just kept staring out the window to the point that it was starting to bug me. I knew I had to do something.

“Lacey—”

“How about you? How was your day?”

“My day? Nothing special. I just finished up some paperwork and started cleaning out the place. It’s gonna take a long time until it’s in the right shape. There’s so much fucking dust.”

“I figure someone like you would hire someone to do it.”

“That’s an idea. Figured I’d get started on it.”

“But you do have the money to hire someone to clean the place up for you, don’t you? All that money you made in… real estate…”

She slowly turned her face toward me. That same fucking blank look. Eyes as cold as I’d ever seen them before. She almost looked like another person.

“That’s how you made your money, right?” she said. “Real estate in the city.”

I narrowed my eyes at her. I didn’t have to think twice to know what she was getting at. Apparently, she felt the same way.

“I got a visit from someone today,” she said. “Someone who said he knows you.”

“…Jamie.”

Her throat bobbed up and down as she swallowed.

“Then it’s true,” she said. “He does know you.”

“What did he tell you?”

“Just that you’re not the man you claim to be.”

“I am the man I said I am. You can’t completely trust a man like Jamie. Whatever he told you—”

“He told me to ask you for myself. Said that you two were in business but never said what that business was. I figured there was no point in getting it from him because I wouldn’t believe him anyway. But you…”

She slowly got up from her seat. The way the moonlight cast a shadow on her
