Simply To Die For

Prologue

I turned and surveyed the room. It had been easier than I first imagined. None of them put up a fuss. Well, except the one I’ve left in a dark corner of the room, that is, and he’s not a threat. Even his crying and whimpering have ceased. I only hope he’ll live long enough to give them my message. If not, well, I’ll think of another way to get her back and get that damn list of hers. Her royal highness, Kandi Kyses. What made her think she could quit the business and go into hiding? No one gets away with crossing me, as she’ll soon discover. Did she think for one minute she wouldn’t be found no matter how far away she was? I have to give it to her though, these damn chocolates of hers are divine.

I placed the pink and white striped candy box in position carefully with my gloved fingers and chuckled.

Her handmade candies were... Simply to die for.
