Chapter 148
Aubree did end up using the USB drive. She handed it to Declan – he knew what is do,
By the time Aubree left the club, nightfall had already descended
Hidden in the night shadows was a Maybach, its window slightly ajar to reveal nothing but a hand holding a cigarette.
His gaze was fixed squarely on the main entrance of Golden Industrial Park,
Bowen couldn’t help but scoff at himself
Bowen thought to himself, ‘God, I’m pathetic. She’s desperate to distance hersell from me, yet here I am, still worrying about her safety at night
