Wicked Liar (Dark Syndicate 3)

I suck in a sharp breath.

Massimo looks as shocked as I feel.He looks at Tristan and the others who are equally astonished by the revelation.

“He is the king,” Lucas rasps out.

“And what is he planning next?” Massimo's voice shakes with fury.

“I don't know. He doesn't involve me in plans.There's a meeting with everyone in two days.” Lucas starts to shake.

“Where!”

“A yacht. They’ll be onboard the Blue Iris at San Pedro Bay.”

“Time?”

“Two o’clock.”

Massimo nods and glances back at Dominic, then over to Tristan and Aiden.

He looks back to Lucas and gets closer to him.“There were brochures on your desk for a resort in Italy.Were you supposed to be somewhere?”

“Yes. Will you let me go? I told you everything.That was everything.” Lucas looks hopeful.

The smile on Massimo’s face frightens me.As does what happens next.

Massimo steps away from Lucas.Tristan and Aiden follow. Corey last.

Massimo comes up to me and puts out his hand for me to take.

“Come, Principessa,” he says giving me the nickname they used to call me when I was little.

When Dominic releases me I take Massimo's hand and he leads me away.

But, Dominic doesn’t follow. He stays where he is.

I just manage to see a flash of silver from his gun as he pulls it from his pocket.I see it before we go through the door.

When the door clicks shut the echo of a bullet sounds simultaneous with the click.

Another shot follows and Massimo slips his arms around me.Another shot sounds, then another.Both pierce through the night.Tristan comes to my other side when my legs give.

The rapid sound of gunshots doesn't stop.More follow and I lose count.

Uncle Lucas is dead.

Dominic killed him.
