Trey and Bethany just watched.

“That’s going to bite us in the ass,” he said to his wife. “Don’t be shocked.”

Bethany shrugged.

“We have haunted people. Why not? The office is haunted, the cars are haunted, and now so are Lucian and Ridge.”

He guessed she was right.

Time would tell how this worked out.

Eventually.

His Mansion

That Moment

Across Town

It was a long day of him denying his wife’s death. Thankfully, his father-in-law was on his side. The man was his only saving grace right now.

Why?

Because he had killed his wife.

He’d also killed the women before her.

He’d been tired of their whiny dependency, and he ended them. He had their dates, and he had been planning on meeting them to fuck.

Only, he’d gotten scared.

Why?

He suspected Jessamy knew about it.

What he didn’t expect was when he dumped all four bodies into that water, before it was frozen over, that three of them would turn up.

Not.

At.

All.

Where his wife’s body was?

That was anyone’s guess.

All he knew was if they found her, the police might tie him to the three mistresses he kept.

Fall came, and he honestly believed he’d been in the clear. Only, then, Marny died too. He’d been planning on meeting her for a camping hookup, and she never showed up.

Then, someone found her body.

Oh, he was so screwed.

Honestly, Cyrus wasn’t sure he’d be able to keep his father-in-law on his side once his wife’s remains turned up. There was no way.
