He was here, too?

“Guards!” Clyde called for more reinforcements after seeing the guard closest to him fall, but no one came.

Instead, I saw men emerge from behind the trees one by one, half of them like professionals geared up for battle and the rest in black leather jackets. Who would have thought Jake, Max, and Wade would bring an army?

I grinned at Clyde. Oh, he was so screwed now.

He seemed to know it, panicking as he tried to free himself from Jake’s hold, but Jake twisted his right arm behind his back, causing him to howl in pain.

“Stop!” he begged. “You’ll make my stitches rip!”

Stitches? Come to think of it, he had been rubbing his right arm a lot.

Jake laughed. “You think I care after everything you’ve done to hurt Lauren and my family?”

He must have applied pressure again because Clyde screamed.

“Stop! I give up! I give up!”

I snorted.Crybaby.

As Jake tied his wrists, Max freed mine. Afterward, I turned around and gave him a tight hug.

He hugged me back, kissing the top of my head. “Are you all right?”

I nodded. “I am now.”

“Well, Clyde Roarke won’t be.” Max walked toward Clyde, standing in front of him. “He’ll be in jail for the rest of his life, and I’ll make sure he has the worst cellmates.”

“Oh yeah?” Clyde scoffed. “You think you can put me away?”

“Oh, he will,” Jake replied. “And this time, Daddy won’t be able to save you.”

Clyde chuckled derisively. “You have no evidence to put me in jail.”

“But I do,” Max said. “What? You think you’re the only one who can find out everything about someone? While you were busy keeping Lauren prisoner, I was able to get my hands on all the financials for your secret clubs. Oh, and I’ve found some people who are willing to testify that you committed murder, among other things.”

Clyde shook his head. “You’re lying.”

Max leaned over so Clyde could see the seriousness in his gaze more clearly. “You messed with the wrong guy, Roarke.”

Clyde’s face grew pale as he swallowed, but he still tried to act brave. “It was fun playing with you, though, and telling everyone you’re just some pathetic guy playing around with bikes and getting in fights with losers. How did you like that video I spread around, huh? You should thank me for making you famous. That’s probably lost you more than a few investors. Still think you can be successful, Shelton?”

Max straightened up, his confidence unwavering. “Watch me.”

Clyde laughed. “It was fun playing with Lauren again, too, if only for a little while. Did you know that last night…”

I slapped him before he could finish his lie. “Don’t you dare say my name again.”

Still, he grinned. “Oh, come on. Don’t be like that. Have you forgotten all the fun times we had?”

“Oh, don’t worry,” Jake told him, standing beside him. “We’ll make sure she forgets.”

Max and Wade stood on my other side as well, letting me know that they, too, had my back no matter what. I felt a burst of joy.

Right. I had all three of them now. Clyde couldn’t hurt me anymore.

He shook his head in disbelief and snorted. “What? Are you going out with all three of these guys? Just as I thought, you’re a real…”
