His parents don’t know he’s leaving either. We’ve ditched all of our phones. Oliver’s let his entire staff go, telling them to go back to the palace.
It’s literally just the four of us.
A few days after we leave, we’ll be moving any money we have into new accounts that can’t be traced to the past.
“You ready for our adventure?” I ask.
Eden lifts onto her tiptoes, staring at each of us in turn. “So ready.”
We walk back toward a new black sedan. Our cars have been dismantled, sold to a chop shop. It was tough getting rid of my baby, but I’m confident I can get another like her. Especially since I’ve been doing a little side job of my own. Blood Red, those conniving chicks, are going to hack into my grandfather’s accounts and wipe him out. All of his money will be funneled into my account.
They swear they can do it. It’s untraceable. Undetectable. And all they wanted was The Secret File they stole.
I heave a deep breath of relief. I’ll finally get my inheritance and everything else I deserve for living with him my entire life. I’m calling it a cock fee. He fucked up my life royally, killing my father and mother, now I’m going to get my revenge. Money and power are the only languages Franklin Jarvis speaks, and I’m taking them from him.
In turn, I hope the Knights die with him. I hope they crumble under the dark, sadistic grip he had on them. After I clean him out, two of the worst offenders will be taken out of the equation. Leon Forbes is dead, and in a few days, Franklin Jarvis may as well be.
If this works, he won’t even have the means to try to find me and my new family, let alone attempt retaliation.
“We should stop and get ice cream,” Eden says.
Alaric chuckles.
Oliver pouts. “We could’ve stopped for gelato in Italy if you didn’t make me give up the jet.”
I shove him playfully in the arm. “There’s still time for jets. Just not ones that can be traced back to us.”
“Yeah, yeah,” he mutters, but when he looks at Eden, I know he thinks it’s all worth it.
Every single thing I’ve gone through in my life to get me to this moment has definitely been worth it. If I had to do it all again, I’d jump in with both feet. Because Eden is the finale I never knew I needed.
She’s my reason.
“Ice cream sounds good,” Alaric says.
“Where to after that?” Oliver asks, peering at the three of us.
Alaric’s brow furrows. He doesn’t like not having a plan—I’ve seen him up at night researching safe towns, looking up the most remote places in and out of the US—but I think the unknown is thrilling. “We have our whole lives in front of us,” I tell them. “We can go anywhere.”
Eden grins. “That sounds like heaven.”
It is. It most definitely is.
