Wicked Liar (Dark Syndicate 3)

"Oh my God," I breathe out and bolt to my feet.My hands fly up to my mouth as I scan over the image of the man before me.

Those dark, cold eyes that remind me of a vulture stare back at me and I can't believe what I'm seeing.Just like the first time I saw him, I take in the sharpness in his profile and the hardness in his face.

His name is Tobias. That's what it says there.

Instantly, I remember the list of names on Dominic's notebook.Federico Santana and Tobias Navarro were two he'd listed.

Tobias Navarro...

That's him. My parents' killer.

Tobias Navarro.

After all these years I have his name.

The last time I saw this man, he ordered my death.

"Do what you want with her and get rid of the body after."That's what he said just after heshot my mother andcut off my father's head.

Panic, unlike I've ever known, closes up my throat, cutting off the air to my lungs and I start to shake and cry, just like that night so long ago.

I only look away from the face of my parents' killer when Dominic takes hold of my shoulders.

It's strange, as I look at him, we could be there again.Back at the night when my parents died.He held me then too, and all I could do was scream and cry.

"Candace, what's wrong?" he asks.

"That's... him," I stutter. "He killed my parents.It's him, Dominic. He did it."

As soon as the words fall from my lips, Dominic's eyes snap wide.

Massimo and Tristan are at my side, Aiden comes over with a glass of water.

I don't get to see or say anything more, what little air remained in my lungs leaves, and then I'm falling into darkness.
