CHAPTER 25

  “We caught the shooter and after so much interrogation, he’s told us who sent him,” Francis says over the phone.

  “Well, who is it?” Rory asks, almost impatiently.

  “Luke Powers.”

  Luke Powers? Why does that name ring a bell?

  Rory runs a violent hand through his messy hair and I see him trying to control his anger. He speaks in some foreign language before saying. “Lock that bastard up once you lay your hand on him.” And with that, he ends the call. Tossing the phone on the couch, he paces around.

  “I’ve heard the Luke Powers before, it just needs to-” my mouth opens as the name registers in my memory.

  Luke Powers was the man I met at the fundraising party at the 5-Star hotel four months ago, the man that wanted to force me into having sex with him before Rory saved me and beat the hell out of him.

  “Why would he want to kill you?” I ask, my hands fidgeting with the hem of my shirt.
