PRESENT DAY…
Ivy’s eyes blaze with fury as I hit the accelerator hard, making the engine
scream in objection. Anger ebbs from her in tidal waves and crashes
against my own. I heard everything that happened in the crypt over my
earpiece: the conversation on the phone, Freddie’s confession, their
confrontation…
Why did Freddie do that?
The Dukes are supposed to be a team and make decisions together, yet
he kept a big secret and plotted against Ivy, despite knowing what my
reaction would be. How could he be so willing to hand her back to the
remorseless monsters who wrecked her, and our, lives? He deluded himself
into believing that his actions would save the Dukes, but I never thought
he’d go far enough to trade a woman’s life. He’s proved Ivy was right.
We’re no better than the Killers Club. The Dukes aren’t a family, and they
are officially over.
I glance at Ivy. She’s lost in her thoughts, but her knees jump around
impatiently as adrenaline speeds through her veins. What I wouldn’t give to
know what she’s thinking…
I jam the wheel to the right to make a sharp turn into a narrow alleyway.
Another car sounds its horn in warning, having to screech to a halt to let us
pass. We leave them in the dust.
When I turn to Ivy again, she’s staring back at me. Her head tilts to the
side, studying my expression. Her pouty lips purse like she’s assessing me.
“Did you know?” she asks. Her measured tone doesn’t conceal her
simmering resentment bubbling underneath the surface. I don’t blame her.
The feeling is mutual.
I shake my head. Of course not.
She put her trust in Freddie, and he shattered it. I thought I followed a
man of honour, but he’s not the man I thought he was. It’s not only Ivy’s
trust that he’s broken but mine. My allegiance to the Dukes is over.
After a few seconds of studying me, whatever she sees on my face must
appease her. She huffs and crosses her arms, leaning back in her seat.
“The fucker,” she mutters, although I don’t know whether she’s talking
to herself or me. “Trusting him was a mistake. I should have learned my
lesson after the last time I trusted the wrong people.”
Guilt gnaws at my stomach like an insatiable hunger. I’m responsible
for this. I’d vouched for Freddie, truly believing the Dukes would help her
like they’d helped me. I thought we could show her that life was about more
than being a vessel of destruction. Her taking a chance ended in Freddie’s
betrayal, blowing up my good intentions.
Ivy straightens as we drive through familiar tree-lined streets, past the
rows of parked Maserati’s, Ferrari’s and Porsche’s. These streets are the
playground of the rich and famous.
Ivy drums her fingers on her thigh in anticipation as we get closer to
Spencer’s mansion. I slow to a crawl, stalling to buy more time, and opt to
take a longer route, weaving through the narrow backstreets. I know better
than anyone the dangers of acting impulsively… and the regrets that come
with it.
