Chapter 57

Maximus had been out of prison for six months now, having served time for a crime he didn't mean to commit. Once a big name in the industry, his sudden disappearance for three years had left many wondering. But now, with his license reinstated, he was back in the game.

"Here, go find him. He'll sort you out," Miranda said, handing Maximus a business card with an address and phone number.

Maximus was left speechless. Well, she'd got it all figured out.
