All Chapters of Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Saturday. Creed of Truth Sanctuary, Brazil.MAX STOOD IN THE small cabin.Where was Lumen?Thomas had dismissed all of them promptly on their return. It had been as if he hadn't wanted them to see where the drugs and women were being held.It was one thing to suspect what was going on, but a completely different thing to see it and be part of it. Max had a lot of reasons to loathe himself over the years, but this was the worst. The very worst.He'd been counting on finding Lumen soon after he got back. He needed her to tell him to stay the course, they had a plan, because right now he wanted to burn the whole fucking thing down.His phone vibrated.Max pulled it out and looked at the screen, but all he saw was a generic message.Which meant it wasn't a text or some other application.It was the Aegis Group communication app.The world seemed to slow. He stopped breathing. His heart stilled. The only thing that moved was his thumbs. He tapped on the app, input his

Saturday. Creed of Truth Sanctuary, Brazil.BLAIR WAS SO ANGRY she wanted to throw something. She wanted to rage and shout, but she couldn't.Her first mistake was telling Sonny first. She should have taken a crack at Lumen before she warned her father. Of course all that happened after she'd realized the bitch had tried to escape.Blair wasn't stupid.She knew some people who caused problems and couldn't be managed through other means simply vanished.It was logical to think that Sonny was behind it.Only, she didn't think Lumen would end up high in one of the cabanas for the next six months while she thought about what she'd done. That was what Sonny had done to Blair when she'd wanted to take her singing career one step farther instead of allowing him to use her music for some dumb commercial.Damn him.She wanted out of this mess, but she couldn't just walk away.It had all been going so well.Blair chewed her thumbnail.Shit.What if Lumen said something

Sunday. Safe House, Boa Vista, Brazil.THE GRAY DAWN BROKE on the horizon as Max and the others rolled through the front gate of the safe house. He eyed the surveillance men. They were mostly the same ones he'd seen before he'd left. Still the battle hardened faces of men who knew what they were doing.Which meant it was Sonny keeping an eye on them and bypassing Thomas.Max hadn't seen it until the very end, but there was a dividing line between Thomas and Sonny. The two didn't always know what the other was doing.Fuck all of them.Vito pulled the SUV into the garage where they could safely unload. They needed to keep Max and Aspen's whereabouts under wraps for as long as possible.It had taken them hours to land and get back. More time than he'd have thought necessary. All of which meant that Lumen was still back there. Alone. Going through who knew what.Max stuffed all the frustration down inside of him as he opened the SUV door and helped Aspen out. She'd held he

Sunday. Creed of Truth Sanctuary, Brazil.MAX SAT IN THE backseat of another SUV and watched as Nabanita and William once more tried to reason with the idiots at the gate.This time, however, there hadn't been just an attendant at the gate. They'd been met with four armed men who appeared to be from Sonny's personal guard. Just how many of them were there? A truck was parked in front of the entrance. There was no way to easily drive in.This was all Zain's plan.Max didn't pretend to understand the maneuvers, only that they were testing the waters today. Dangling Nabanita and William as a decoy was their aim."Think they've brought up the book?" Jennifer asked."If I were them I'd be sweating bullets," Prudence muttered.Orion glanced back and caught Max's eye.He looked away quickly. The last thing he wanted to do right now was talk."Notice anything off that we might not?" Orion asked.Max sighed and looked back at the gate. "Thomas isn't out there this time. H

Sunday. Creed of Truth Sanctuary, Brazil.THE DRAMA AT THE front gate dragged on.Max ground his teeth.They couldn't take off down the road without raising questions. They were stuck here, with all eyes on them, until someone made a move.He prayed Lumen was safe, that she could last a little longer."Canteens are full," Prudence said from the back of the SUV."Did we find sunblock? These meat heads won't think about that until it's too late," Jennifer said."Yeah, there's some." Prudence shifted behind Max. "Everything's ready. How's it looking out there?""The same," Vito replied. It was pretty much the only thing he'd said since indicating he would be going with them on this adventure.That left Brett and three other Aegis Group guys to guard Nabanita and her family. Those weren't great numbers given the situation, but Max was willing to believe they could hold their own."Have we heard from Zain?" Max asked."Nothing yet," Prudence replied.Max pulled ou
