I watched as the files downloaded, one after another; they all had strange names, and nothing seemed of note.

“What’s going on?” Misty asked.

“I found a zip drive of his. When I escaped, I’m going to see what’s on them.” Misty began. typing on a keyboard on her end of the phone, and a moment later, the mouse control was

taken from me as she clicked on one. My eyes scanned the contents, and my jaw dropped.

Correspondence of blackmail and notations of several offshore accounts filled my screen.

Companies he ‘worked with,‘ names, and illegal dealings. Another click of the mouse and more

of the same.

“What am I seeing, Ads?”

“A multitude of evidence of his misdealings with his company, he’s blackmailing smaller ones

for better deals, and all the money is being filtered through offshore accounts. I knew he was a

dirty dealer, but this…is beyond unethical.”

“Just what we needed,” Misty said, and an email pulled up, dropping all the files into it before

the mouse came back into my control.

“I may need you to explain some of this jargon, but it’s going to incriminate him and put bees

up his ass, so hopefully, he is forced to be sidetracked for a bit. Those flowers, he sent similar

ones to five addresses, so he’s not entirely sure where you are just yet. The goal is to keep him

busy… well, more busy than he’s been kept. I’m sorry we missed the movements that got to

your lawyer; he’s too smart for his own good. It just means I need to think outside of the box.”

“Thank you, Misty, I never wanted to bring you into this.”

“You were by my side when I needed someone the most. It’s my turn.” My eyes closed, and I

nodded. It was hard for me to accept the help, but I knew I needed it.

“Hey, Beck?”

“Yeah, little lady?”

“If all goes to shit, you take care of Misty and Cricket first,”

“Of course,” his gruff voice agreed.

My eyes closed, as relief washed over me, I trusted Beck. He had gotten me out of the lowest

point in my life. He would keep them safe, I was sure of it. I closed the laptop..

“Anything else, Misty?”

“No, I’ll run all this through my analytics tonight. I’ll call you tomorrow with any questions.”

“I don’t deserve you,” I told her.

“Shut up, Ads. Let me do what I do best.” I took a deep breath.

“I love you, make sure Cricket knows I love her, too.”

“She knows, but I’ll tell her again over breakfast.”

I let out a long sigh, aware of the eyes on me.

“Try to get some rest, Ads.”

“I’ll try,” I promised weakly. “Thank you, both, for everything,” I let her and Beck know. Beck

just grunted in acknowledgement.

“Night,” Misty said, and the line went dead.

Chapter 104

I was aware of Mazzie glaring at Carter behind my back as I clicked the phone off, and Carter

ignored her, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. Lana squeezed my hand before standing.
