Her entire body shook and her stomach lurched. He’s insane.

Moody quickly returned the barrel of his gun to her temple. “Good riddance. I no longer needed you anyway, and now I don’t have to pay you.” He squeezed her until she could barely breathe. “That mess is cleaned up. Now to the other issue at hand.”

“Let go of her, Bill.” Aiming his weapon at Moody, Jay’s voice was filled with rage.

“Now.” Clay also had his gun pointed at Moody.

“I don’t think so, boys. I know you’re not going to risk killing your slut. Put down your weapons.”

“Not a chance,” they said in unison.

“So we have a standoff, do we?” Moody laughed. “I never expected it would come to this, but here we are.”

“Yes, here we are because of your greed, Bill.” Jay’s eyes narrowed but his gun remained steady. “Why? GWI compensated you well.”

“Fuck, I’m worth more than that piddly ass salary.”

“Twenty million a year isn’t piddly ass, Bill,” Clay said.

Izzy could tell that he and Jay were only trying to keep Moody talking until the police arrived.

“And how long would you have kept paying me that salary once you and Jay got control of your trusts? A week? A year? Five years?” Moody tightened his hold on her. “Not a chance I will walk away from GWI without getting what was coming to me. Nine hundred fifty million is how much I have taken out of this fucking company, just shy of my billion dollar goal.”

“Don’t you mean stole?” Clay asked, baiting him.

“I’ve worked too hard and done too much to let two idiots and their bitch bring me down. Your father learned the hard way that I’m not a man you can fuck with.”

Clay glared at him “What are you talking about?”

“He was secretly investigating me, just like you two ungrateful pricks. Me. His own brother-in-law.”

“Who was embezzling from the company even back then,” Clay spat back.

“Yes. I married his fucking sister. I deserved everything I took.”

Izzy was getting a clear picture of Moody and his evil. “You had all three of them killed. Their parents. Your own wife.”

“Smarter than you look, that’s for sure. Yes. Not too difficult for a man like me. My wife told Clay and Jay’s parents that she needed time away from me. What a bitch. I knew they would take her to their cabin in Taos, New Mexico. One call was all it took from me to eliminate the problem.” Moody chuckled in a way that made her skin crawl. “Mason ran them off the road and down the cliff. Now, I won’t say it again. Put down your guns, boys. None of us wants anyone to get hurt, especially this lovely lady. I’ll tie the three of you up and leave. I’ll be at my new island home by the time someone finds you, but you will still be alive. Admit it. You’ve lost this one.”

Izzy knew Moody was lying. Though she never expected Clay or Jay to put down their weapons, she had no doubt that if they did, Moody would shoot them. What would the bastard do when the police arrived? With nothing else to loose, she was afraid Moody would still kill them.

“Damn it, put you fucking guns on the ground or I swear—”

The sirens wailed off in the distance.

Moody’s distraction gave her a split-second of opportunity.

Without hesitation, she elbowed Moody in the g

ut and stomped on his foot. His hold relaxed and she wrestled free, moving to the side to give the guys a clear shot.

“I’ll kill you, bitch!” Moody aimed his gun at her but before he could pull the trigger, Clay and Jay fired.

As Moody fell to the floor, she instinctively kicked his gun away from him and picked hers up. Clay and Jay ran to her, pulling her into their arms and stepping back from their uncle’s unmoving body.

Jay held her close. “We’re here with you, sweetheart. Everything is going to be okay.”

Clay bent down and checked Moody’s pulse.
