"You deserve to die, Vienna! There's not one decent thing left in the Wilson family—your sister dying is what you deserve!"
"Hendrix, what are you waiting for? Do it! Kill her! If you don't, she'll kill me and my child!"
Hendrix's men lunged forward while he studied me for a long moment, teeth clenched. Finally, Hendrix lowered his gun slowly, then shouted, "All of you, get back! I didn't tell you to come here!"
Satisfied, I nodded and wiped the blood from my blade across Cassidy's face until it was clean. "You're smarter than you were five years ago."
Furious, Cassidy opened her mouth to curse; I smashed my fist into her temple. She went limp and fell unconscious.
Hendrix's eyes reddened with anger. "Don't touch her," he warned. "If you want to come at someone, come at me."
"Leila's death was an accident—Cassy had nothing to do with it!" he added, voice rasping.
"I know what you suspect, but I swear to you, I didn't betray Leila before she died. Cassidy and I only got together after... after she was gone."
I kicked the woman on the ground; she responded like rotten meat.
