“Amber, you’re playing with fire. You have no idea how dangerous Kayden Black truly is. Stop trying

to dig your own grave by messing with him,” Martin cautioned in response to my threat to send him to

jail.

I couldn’t help but scoff at his caution, a mocking edge seeping into my tone as I folded my arms defiantly across my chest. “Oh, please humor me, Father. Tell me, just how dangerous is this man that

his own guilt and remorse.

Rolling my eyes at his plea, I cut through his words with a biting retort. “As far as I’m concerned,

Kayden is a criminal, and I’m only asking you to hand over evidence of his illegal activities if you don’t want to go to jail in his place. I didn’t ask you to kill him for me, so stop being so

dramatic,” I asserted sharply, not bothering to mask my anger and resentment.

man than Kayden Black. Why, then, would you worry about him and his
