The cards are on the table, and I'm betting it all. This piece of the game is the biggest risk I've ever taken. But I can't lose, not when I'm so close to getting her back.
Turned by my brother, Veda betrayed me, and my honor demands I take her life. But killing Veda would be like ripping my own soul from my body, and so I gave her a chance to run, and she took it.
Having a taste of freedom has only renewed Veda's determination to hate me. However, she can't deny the dark desire that draws us together, and I'm not above using that to my advantage.
The pieces are in place to have everything I want-my rightful place in the business and Veda back in my bed-and it's time I make my move. This time, I will make her an offer she can't refuse.
Because I'm playing to win.
