He grinds his jaw.
“Yes.”
“It’s fucking Miles. Miles Holloway.”
Dante hardens his gaze.
“You sure?”
“Yes. He also admitted to being involved in the fire. So that leaves one last person. I think it’s Nicolette.”
He nods, agreeing with me.
“Evelyn will want to know,” he says quietly.
“I don’t give a fuck. As long as we get to kill the fucker.”
“We will.”
“Oh, and you’ll never guess where they auctioned off Astra,” I say sarcastically.
He cocks his head to the side, studying me.
“Club Muse. Utah.”
His jaw nearly combusts from how tightly he is straining it.
“Silas?”
“She didn’t say who, but if I had to guess, he is involved. I’m not sure to what extent they have been involved, but I know they auctioned her off. That’s all I need to know.”
He nods.
“We better get to work,” he says with a smirk on his face.
This lunatic gets off on killing. For me, it’s just a release.
A release from everything that I could never do right.

I watch Lucien leave my office in a rush. He is probably going back to either tell Astra the truth or to continue to make her believe he is a God. Either way, not my problem.
My problem right now is everything Lucien just dumped on me.
Why the fuck wouldn’t he call me to tell me sooner? He has been here for at least 18 hours. He could have spared me the suspense.
If Silas is involved in any form of sex trafficking, then that means he may know who the fuck had my sister sold. That information—means everything.
I lean back in my chair, feeling uneasy about Miles. The sick fuck was supposed to be in California. Lucien had tracked him for three years after he raped Astra at the Halloween party and blasted the video to the entire college. He moved away once he knew she was involved with him. He knows what wrath he would have to suffer if he ever ran into Lucien.
The fact that he approached my little princess. That has me homicidal more than I already am. I also wonder what his affiliation is with Damien.
Damien isn’t fucking dead. I know that. I saw him several months back when I stormed that building, but I let him go. I saw him again at the deal with Enrique; he said nothing. Just smiled. He’s watching us.
I also know the card Miles gave Evelyn is Damien’s. I just don’t know exactly who he is working for and why the fuck he isn’t talking to us.
