As I spoke, I glanced at his hands and face, instinctively checking for any bruises. Luckily, there weren't

"It's been over a decade. There's no financial benefit left. What they're worried about is the boss's kid holding a grudge."

Something in his voice made my throat tighten. "The boss had a kid? Do they know you're investigating?"

Hayden's gaze dropped, avoiding mine. "She doesn't know yet."
