âYes.
â
They both fell silent after that.
Rosalynn didnât think Brianâs method was too harsh.
She believed that those with malicious intent deserved no sympathy.
âWhen will you be home, honey?â Rosalynn asked, eager to finally see him now that it was all over.
âIâm on my way,â Brian replied, his voice gentle.
âGood.
Iâll be waiting for you at the Owmale Hotel,â she said.
Waiting for him at the Owmale Hotel?
Brian was surprised, then excitement quickly set in.
The thought of reuniting with Rosalynn, especially with her being three months pregnant, thrilled him.
Did she want to have sex with him?
âIâll be there soon.
Wait for me,â he said.
âDrive safely.
â
âWiLL do.
â
After hanging up, Brian turned to Edwin.
âYouâre in charge here.
I need to get back to Skrix.

With Aldrich in custody, the Hughes Group was likely in chaos, waiting for Brian to step in and fix things.
But nothing could prevent him from reuniting with his wife.
She was all that mattered.
Brian strode out with determination.
As he left the mall, his phone rang.
He glanced at the screen, and his smile vanished.
It was his uncle, Chase, Aldrichâs father.
Chase must be calling to beg him for the sake of his son.
After a momentâs pause, Brian answered the call.
âHello?â
