Victor sighed dramatically. "You've worked very hard. You have men depending on you. You have businesses connected to the club."
Sage felt her stomach drop.
No. No. No. Victor wasn't talking. He was threatening. The realization hit her immediately..... he wasn't trying to stop her. He was trying to stop Ethan. And that was far worse.
"I wonder what would happen if federal investigators suddenly became interested in your club, your beautiful friendship with that Prez of yours could turn sour."
Harper's eyes widened. Ethan's hands curled into fists. Victor's voice remained pleasant. Almost conversational. "I wonder how many businesses would lose contracts."
The airport noise seemed distant now, muted, like Sage was underwater. Victor wasn't bluffing. She knew him. He never bluffed.
