Despite how everything looked like a tragic accident, Anastasia just couldn’t shake her doubts.
Herman took Anastasia home first. After making sure she was settled, he called Dailey to dig into what really happened to Kim.
When the call was over, Herman stood by the tall window in his study. With all his connections and resources, he knew about worlds most people never even dreamed of.
There are people in this world—fixers for hire. Sometimes the “problem” is a situation. Sometimes, it’s a person.
Their specialty? Making everything look like an accident.
In the world of power and politics, this kind of elite “hunting” wasn’t rare.
Herman was starting to worry that someone had paid a group like that to stage an accident, targeting Anastasia.
And that someone, he suspected, was Mr. Walker.
On the surface, Mr. Walker was protecting the Salstroms, compromising for Autumn’s sake. But deep down, Herman had never trusted the man.
People were complicated. Hearts were unpredictable.
Mr. Walker had swallowed his pride, put up with his wife’s betrayal, and even risked his job to protect Autumn. Herman didn’t buy it—he couldn’t believe anyone would go that far for love.
About twenty minutes later, Dailey called back. “Boss, a group like that did show up in Riverdale not long ago. But we still don’t know who they were after.”
Herman’s voice turned cold. “Find out.”
“Yes, boss.”
…
Riverdale Inn.
Since arriving in Riverdale, Sandy had been staying at this cozy little hotel.
Night had fallen.
Sandy was soaking in the tub when her phone buzzed on the bathroom counter.
She reached out and picked up. “How did it go?”
A disguised voice answered, “It’s done. You’ll get the news soon.”
Sandy grinned. “Nice work. The rest of the payment will be in your account.”
