Wicked Liar (Dark Syndicate 3)

“I’m not using Massimo. You don’t have to worry about that ever again and I assure you I’m not gonna hurt Candace.I’m being serious as fuck here.”

His face softens. "What are you going to do?"

"The same fucking thing you'd do if you'd just bought a woman for fifteen million dollars, Boss," I answer and his eyes go wide."My way though. The two of you both know she still loves me so you don't have a right to tell me I can't have a chance to fix things with her.If something's going on, I'll find out what it is.Aside from that, with all the shit going on in our lives, we don't need her running around getting herself in trouble, and selling her body for sex.Don't think our enemies don't know she's important to us.She's important to me. She's safe if she's with me.What I do aside from that is private."

That's all they need to know.If some other bastard had thrown down fifteen million dollars, they wouldn't question him, so I'm putting a stop to any further questions.

"Okay?" I ask with raised brows.

They both look at each other then back at me.When they both nod, the tension leaves my shoulders.

“I’m trusting you, Dominic,” Massimo warns.

I answer with a curt nod.

“Call us if anything more happens,” Tristan says.

“I will.”

They leave and I lower to sit on the sofa.

When I think of what Candace did, I want to breathe fire.I'm enraged that only yesterday she told me she didn't want to be with me and today's here with this... I don't know whatever the fuck it is.It just leads me to think something is definitely going on with her.

But ... whatever it is, gave me my way.The damn auction was my savior and opened the door with an answer to how I'd get my chance with her.We're in the middle of shit with our enemies, but I can't think of a better medicine for me than thirty days and thirty nights of Candace Ricci.

I want her back, and I don't plan to fail this time.

This time she will be mine.

Heart, mind, body, and soul.

Everything.

I want it all.
