The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow by Helena R. Bates

Grey's face twisted in frustration. "Judson, do you really think I won't run Lena over next? Aren't you worried I'll spill the beans to Brad about her?"

Judson chuckled darkly, "I never thought a rabid dog like you would have a weakness. If you get on your knees and beg, maybe I'll consider sparing Lena this time. I heard she's quite the looker."

Michael, who had just entered the room, raised an eyebrow at Grey's audacity. "Are you out of your mind?"

Judson's grin widened, but his eyes remained cold. "You're right, but there's another way besides begging."
