“This is love at first sight, you know,” Abe said with a mocking smile. “You’re putting me in a difficult position here. She is… occupied for the night. Would you like me to show you our selection of girls?”

Ashton looked mutinous.

Abe had touched a nerve.

Abe was openly taunting Ashton now with his laugh. I was desperately looking for something that I could use as a weapon.

Suddenly, I recalled the gun on Abe’s hip and gasped involuntarily.

The room fell silent, as though the occupants were aware of the tension brewing. The dancers and patrons had their guns aimed at Abe.

Abe narrowed his eyes as he let out a cold laugh. “Mr. Fuller, you’ve come prepared!”

Ashton kept his gaze on me. “Let her go, I will let you walk out of here alive.”

“Her? Looks like my source was right.”

“Darling, you’re my ticket out of here. Thank you in advance,” Abe crooned in my ear.
