Revenge Wears A Ring/Ryder Maverick
Larissa's POV It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to realize where we were going. Hint: It wasn’t Lara’s house.A familiar, towering skyscraper, all reflective glass and steel, stood imposing in the distance. It was one of the most prestigious firms in the city. Employees, executives, and clients streamed in and out of the building dressed in sharp suits and crisp dresses. Some clutched coffee cups or briefcases. Others walked briskly as they chatted amongst themselves or into the phones pressed against their ears. The Patterson Financial Group tower.I wasn’t just where I had worked. It was where Lara had died. And where I had confessed to her murder.I looked at Brayden but he paid me no mind. He pulled into the underground parking garage the light dimming slightly as he maneuvered into his reserved spot. The second the engine shut off, the “What are we doing here?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “I thought we were going to Lara’s place.”“We are. We are he

Larissa's POV The cardboard box in my lap felt heavier than it should have. I ran my fingers along the edges of the box, tracing the old tape sealing it shut. It had been sitting in Patterson Financial’s storage room for over a month. A collection of everything I had left behind. Office supplies. Old notes. Photos. Little trinkets.Brayden drove in silence, his eyes fixed on the road ahead of him, the smooth drawl of the song on the radio filling the space between us.“I can’t believe you threatened to take the matter to her supervisor.” I said, remembering how the receptionist’s face had frozen in a mixture of disbelief and fear. Instantly, all traces of hesitation had been wiped from her continence, and she had gone to get the box of my things.“I don’t make threats, Larissa. I make promises.”I scoffed. “Schematics. Either way, that was a very Karen thing to do.”“What?”“You know Karen? A typical middle-aged white woman who usually asks to see the manager or reports employees to

Brayden's POVLara’s house was more like a showroom. It looked too pristine, too doll-like, too well put together to be the place that she came back to after a day of hard work. Something definitely wasn’t adding up.Larissa and I spent the next half hour searching, opening drawers, checking behind bookshelves, and feeling along the edges of furniture for any hidden compartments. Anything that could give us more information about Lara and the circumstances of her death. We found nothing.“We should go.” I said finally after Larissa searched the same drawer for the third time.“Yeah.” She said, finally closing the drawer shut and stepping away.I made my way to the front door, opened it and let Larissa step through first back outside into the warm morning air. I inhaled deeply, trying to shake off the cold, sterile feeling of Lara’s house as I locked the door and put the spare key back in its compartment.“That was weird.” I said, straightening.“Tell me about it.” Larissa mumbled. The

Brayden's POVLarissa recovered first. “Lara had a daughter?”Nobody mentioned a child. Not in the trial. Not in the reports. Not in the police statement.The media had painted Lara as a young, professional woman who had been cut down in her prime. There had never been any talk of a child. It was like someone had gone to great lengths to make sure that no one knew about Lara’s kid. The question was why, and who?Margaret didn’t seem to notice the shock and confusion on our faces. She nodded as she stirred her tea, the soft clinking of the spoon against porcelain filling the silence. “Oh, yes. She had a little girl named Claire. She was the most adorable kid you’d ever meet, and so polite too.“Like her mum, she wasn’t around much in that house so I suspect that Lara had another apartment somewhere else. They used to take walks in the evenings whenever the weather was nice. There’s a lovely park they were quite fond of in the neighborhood.”“Do you have any idea where Claire is now?” I

Revenge Wears A Ring/Ryder Maverick
Larissa's POVThe ride back to the house was mostly silent. Not because there wasn’t anything to say. It was quite the opposite. There was just too much to say and neither of us knew where to begin.Benjamin had had a child with Lara. One that was more than a year old. And I had been dating him but knew absolutely nothing about his other life. Considering that I had been the one to source whatever gift Benjamin wanted to buy for people, there was a possibility that I had aided in buying a gift for the child without ever even meeting her.No one ever mentioned a sister or a child at trial. From what Margaret said, Stephanie might be the one currently caring for Claire. But if she hadn’t been seen in a while, that meant either she was in hiding or something had happened to her too.My mind raced as we sped through the street. Where were they now? Margaret had mentioned that she thought Lara had an apartment somewhere else. Which was given, seeing as the one we had just visited looked ba
