Chapter 46 Kade

KADE
It took all of my willpower not to scoop Evelyn up in my arms. I stood back as she crumbled on the ground before her mother’s grave. I knew she needed a couple of minutes to just be with her grief. She needed to say her goodbye.
Butcher, the piece of shit, kept giving me smug looks of victory during the service of his deceased wife. During the service of the woman who he’d been married to for years.
My phone buzzed in my pocket. A text from the devil himself.
Ricci:
Tomorrow. 8 PM. Bring the prize. Olympus.
I scrubbed a hand down my face and let out a curse.
This meant that Chief would need to postpone Aaron’s funeral.
This also meant that the entire team needed to be on the same page when we went to the auction.
Olympus was a warehouse that was transformed into an elite nightclub and owned by the devil himself.
I shot a text out to my team before going over to the love of my life.
I walked over to Evelyn with an umbrella overhead. I crouched down next to her and tucked some of her wet brown strands behind her ear. She shivered under my touch. “We need to go, baby.”
She shook her head in her hands as she sobbed.
I wrapped my arms around her and whispered in her ear. “I just got word about the auction. I’m so sorry, Evelyn, but it’s showtime.”
The ride home was quiet. Evelyn was passed out on the limo bench next to me with a blanket over her. I knew when she woke up that she would demand some answers. I just prayed that she actually would hear me out before jumping to conclusions.
