Maya stared at the message in horror.
Her pulse hammered violently against her ribs.
“He took that just now?” William asked sharply.
She nodded slowly.
Fear crawled through the apartment like smoke.
Because suddenly Edward no longer felt like an ex-boyfriend.
He felt like a threat.
William grabbed his jacket immediately.
“I’m going down there.”
Maya caught his arm quickly.
“No.”
William looked at her in disbelief.
“He’s threatening you!”
“And you fighting him will only make things worse.”
Deep down, both of them knew it.
Edward wasn’t some reckless man starting random fights in bars anymore.
He was powerful.
Connected.
The kind of man who destroyed people quietly.
Legally.
Financially.
Emotionally.
William looked toward the window again, jaw tight with helpless rage.
