From as far back as Nolon can remember, he’s been under Alexander’s rule. Ever since they were children, and Alexander watched him kill a man. He got away with the murder only to find himself serving a different kind of life sentence, as the plaything to Alexander’s whims.
Alexander’s demands have always been unreasonable, but now as a colleague in Nolon’s father’s law firm, he’s making Nolon’s life impossible. Nolon knows he won’t be free unless he can dig up dirt on him and make his own crime child’s play in comparison.
When Nolon’s wife, Ava, is assaulted one night in their home, causing her to miscarry, he finally has what he needs. As a lawyer, he’s got the skills to make it plausible. As a rich man, he’s got the resources to set it up. As a victim of Alexander’s schemes, he’s got the know-how.
But here’s the hitch. The detective on the case knows Ava’s unborn child wasn’t his.
As Nolon works to keep his past buried, he struggles to unearth the evidence that’ll banish his rival for good. That is, if he can stomach living without him.
