Teagan:
I don’t know how a bone saw would do for long-distance murdering. You’d have to be up close and personal to your victims.
Capri:
Yeah, I’m all about you doing what makes you happy, but a bone saw? Baby, we can do better than that! I need you back home with me at the end of the night. We’ll pause on figuring out a weapon for now. What about motive?
Lee:
Anyone who texts and drives. They’d be added to my hit list immediately. You pick up your phone while driving. I’m coming for you.
Lexi:
Okay, I sort of love you, Lee.
Capri:
This is my life, guys.
Chapter thirty-seven
Irush past Lexi and tackle Josh to the ground. His eyes widen in shock as he raises his hand in surrender. But it’s too late for him to beg for forgiveness.
Not after what he’s done to us.
To Capri.
To Lexi.
To me.
He’s just another man who thinks they can use and abuse the women of this world and get away with it because he has a famous family name with too much money to count.
I won’t let him plead his way through the system and throw cash at whoever can get him acquitted.
No longer will I let him toy with us.
The point of my stiletto comes down hard in the middle of Josh’s palm as we fall to the ground in a loud crash of body parts and shouts just as an alarm blares through the air. It stops almost as soon as it sounds, leaving a whining, high-pitched noise in my ears.
“Teagan!” Lexi cries, pulling at my midsection.
I glare at her.
“Don’t youdaredefend him! Not after what he just admitted!” I tug the heel out of his palm and bring it above my head so I can hit him again.
Lexi grabs my wrist, stopping me mid-swing. “Bitch, are you stupid!” She yanks the heel out of my grip and throws my body aside. “I want a stab at him too!”
“No!” Josh shrieks, pushing her off of him before scrambling to his feet. He’s holding his injured hand like it’s the most precious thing in the world to him. “You’re both insane!”
Lexi stands next to me with my heel clutched tightly in her fist. I pull my other one off and do the same. How I tackled this man with one heel on and didn’t break my ankle, I’ll never know.
Maybe fate is a scorned woman, too.
I smile at the thought.
Josh sneers at me. “And what’s so funny? You think because you did this,” he waves his hand, “that it makes you this tough badass woman now? You’re the same gullible whore who spread your legs for me the first night we met. You are so desperate to be loved, Teagan. It’s pathetic.”
Lexi steps forward. “Donottalk to her that way,” she commands.
