“DO YOU HAVE any questions foracross from me in the massive Jacuzzi tub I overfilled it with a ton of bubbles He picks up h under the water

“About what?”

“About the night Matt and I had our assignment”

“You said you wouldn’t rat him out” I’m not sure I want to know I didn’t even know LeAnne existed, and now I’m supposed to just listen to how my ex killed her? Even that’s a little too fucked up for me

“I’ll tell you anything,” Ryat answers

“Anything?” I arch a brow at that, and he chuckles, a playful smile on his lips

“That was probably the wrong answer” His laughter grows

“You said it”

He nods “Okay Anything”

“Tell me about when you went to jail” Ever since he e of him in handcuffs out of ine it

“You caught that, huh?” He lets go of h his hair, getting it wet and ed your water and put you to bed at your apartment before I disappeared?” His hand sinks into the water and goes back to rubbing my foot

“Yeah …” What’s that have to do with anything? “Wait … you were arrested? That’s where you were?” Prickett told nment and not to call or text him because he wouldn’t answer

I frown “Why would he do that?” Another one of his crazy plans?

“Exactly,” he says, confusing me even more “Remember ere here before ent back to your place, and I had the TV on? There was a shooting?” I nod “That was a judge’s house He’s a Lord There was a hit out on him Someone broke in, but he wasn’t home at the time Instead, they killed his six-year-old son”

I gasp, placing my hand over mywhat he said to

“I said I’ht now And I gest you back the fuck off” His voice is low, his words controlled, but his hand around s at the moment
