“Cassius Primrose. To what do I owe this pleasure?”

“To whom actually.” Holding my tie to my stomach as I take my seat in the metal chair across from Rafael Ricci, I meet his flat gaze, taking in the dark red jumpsuit and his bloodshot eyes. Prison clearly does not agree with him. “I’m surprised you know who I am though, to be honest.”

“Powerful men make it a point to know other powerful men. Especially when their fathers are shady, spineless motherfuckers.”

I almost smirk. “Like does recognize like, doesn’t it?”

“Shame you don’t seem to be as easy to get rid of.” His forehead creases with a scowl, all formal pretenses dropping.

I almost ask what he means by that, but then it dawns on me—the oleander at the wedding.

For fuck’s sake. Of course he was behind that. I can’t believe I didn’t think of it in the first place.

If Ariana wanted me dead, she would’ve probably done it behind closed doors, where she’d have time to clean up a body. Not in a public place with potential witnesses.

Confusion worms its way through my mind. But she was affected by the poison, like he hadn’t even let her in on his plan beforehand.

Had he tried to kill her too?

Rafael clears his throat, vying for my attention. “In any case, what are you doing here? My daughter not keeping you satisfied enough, so you have to come bother her old man?”

“Ariana is actually why I’m here.” Unlatching the lock on my briefcase, I pull out a couple of forms, stacking them and sliding them across the table.

Rafael gives me an odd look. “Okay, so… what’s the problem? Why are you showing me this?”

Inhaling slowly, I pinch my nose just beneath the bridge of my glasses.

I despise when people play dumb.

Irritation swarms my chest like a flock of vultures, and I lean forward, pointing to the signature of the officer who signed off on the document. “Is this not someone on your payroll?”

“How should I know which pigs are corrupt?” He runs a hand through his hair, shifting in his seat. “Besides, they’re not mine anymore anyway. Not sure if you’ve noticed, but I’m in prison, son.”

Pulling the documents back, I shuffle them on the table, rage boiling my blood. I got the serving papers at my office, so I haven’t even told Ariana about them, choosing instead to clean up the mess before it blows out of proportion, since our marriage was supposed to be a cover for this exact thing.

An investigation into whatever the hell she was doing before our union is not something I feel like dealing with right now. Especially when it would inevitably drag me and my underhanded dealings into question, threatening everything I’ve been building.

Normally, I would make the warrant go away on my own. It’s easy enough to
