“Clarissa, kidnapping is a felony. If you want to go to prison, just say it," Zev said with a frown, already pulling out his phone to call the police.

"What a coincidence," Clarissa replied, playing innocent. "Someone called and tipped me off. I'm just a bystander here; I heard something interesting; that's all."

She knew exactly how to dodge responsibility. Besides, she hadn't actually kidnapped Charles; it had nothing to do with her. She only passed a message along to Assad. That was all.

Once Assad's people grabbed Charles, she could use it to bargain with Caden.

It was a flawless plan. If she'd done the same to Zev, he would've given in for

sure.

After all, Kelly meant more to Zev than his own life.

But Clarissa had clearly overestimated Caden.

He looked her over and let out a laugh, so much so that his stomach hurt. "Y- you're ridiculous. Trying this kind of stunt on me? You've really missed your calling. You should be running pyramid schemes."

To him, it was obvious Clarissa was trying to manipulate him. On top of that, her acting was awful.

"She already is," Zev reminded quietly. "A bunch of those beauty clinics she owns? Total pyramid fronts."

Caden's expression darkened even more. "I've never met a woman as wicked as you. You really opened my eyes."

"Caden, I'm talking about Charles!" Clarissa's voice rose in frustration. "He's been kidnapped! I know where he is! Are you even listening?"
