The Devil’s Reward: An Opposites Attract Romance (The Devil’s Soldiers)

You never hold all your cards in one hand.

I sit in the stolen SUV and wait. No one noticed me as they all walked in. Not the women, not the men, and not even my so-called brothers. I nearly laughed out loud when they walked right by, never even glancing my way. I could have pulled out a gun and shot one of them and watched it all dissolve into chaos. Too bad it’s not my objective to kill Bullet now. Right now, I’m going to bring him to his knees in another way.

Along with the rest of those assholes who think they’re better than me.

I’m going to bide my time, wait for them to come out, and then I’ll strike. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll succeed in killing a few birds with one stone, as it were. I need Sage alive, but the others, well, they’re collateral. Even that pretty redhead and her brat. If they don’t make it out alive today, well, that’s not my problem. More deaths mean more brothers that I bring to their knees.

My phone buzzes and I pull it out, sighing in annoyance when I see Dmitri’s text.

Dmitri: Get it done. You have less than twenty-four hours.

I grind my teeth, pissed that he talks to me this way. Does he not realize everything I’ve done for him? How much money he’s made because of me? He should be talking to me with the respect I deserve. I’ve given him everything that has made him what he is.

So I’ll do what he asks, and then I’m going after the club. Once they’re gone, I’ll be taking Dmitri and his men out of the picture too. You never hold all your cards in one hand. Bull’s own words.

So I don’t bother responding to Dmitri. Instead, I look back at the building and wait.
