Poisoned Empire (Dashkov Crime Family #2)

Chapter 23

The harsh, unrelenting pounding of the scalding water beats down on my back as I scrub at my skin. The hot water does nothing to soothe the ache in my chest Matthias created.

Fucking bastard.

Asshole.

I complained once about him treating me like a whore. Now I honestly know how it feels.

Fucked and dismissed.

He wants to play it that way?

Fine with me.

I have no problem playing his game, and I’ll be sure to play it better. The best way to win a game is to know the rules; that way you know how to break them.

Matthias has shown his cards, and now I know exactly how to play him, just like he played me.

This isn’t a game he was going to win.
