Clark knew he was cornered. There were three police cars and at least six officers in front of him, along with those idiots–Kris, Alden, Luisa, and Zeke.

His eyes darted around. If he could run around the house into the backyard, maybe he could scale the wall and escape. Before he could even take a step, one of the officers warned him.

“Don’t even think about it, sir, or we’ll be forced to shoot.”

Clark froze, knowing the officer wasn’t bluffing. He would be an idiot to try and escape now. Even if he tried, his wounded thigh would keep him from getting far. He was fucked for now, but far from giving up.

Three officers came towards him, spreading out on each side of him until they finally got to him. Though he wasn’t trying to resist, one of them swept his legs from under him, sending him crashing down on the hard, rocky pavement.

Pain shot through his thigh, but he bit back a cry, refusing to give them the satisfaction. He lay still as they cuffed his hands behind his back.

Once they were done manhandling him, the officers hauled him to his feet and began leading him toward one of the police cars.

He glared at Luisa as he limped on. Why couldn’t she have just died? Why the fuck did she have to survive.

“Don’t you dare fucking look at her, you bastard!” Alden spat, storming forward and slamming a fist into Clark’s mouth. “How dare you send those goons after her?”

An officer immediately held Alden back. “You have no right to hit him, sir. You could be charged with assault.”

“Assault?” Zeke stepped forward, his voice hard with anger. “That scumbag tried to have my sister killed! He’s a criminal!”

“He’s only a suspect,” the officer reminded him. “The court decides whether he’s guilty or not.”

Though Alden and Zeke were the ones attacking him, Clark didn’t look at them. His eyes were still burning with hate as he locked gazes with Kris.

“Don’t think you’ve won, Miller. I’ll bounce back.”

thing Kris cared about was Thalassa’s safety. His nostrils flared as he glared back at Clark. “Pray you didn’t hurt Thalassa, because if you have, then jail would be too easy for you. I will kill you
