done anything wrong. I’ll sue
the company for wrongful dismissal. The board doesn’t have to accept my vote.
I’ll have Joel’s proxy and that’s all I need to push Tallulah through and keep
my investors happy.”
He was so calm just like a true sociopath. Carsten Pullman truly believed he wasn’t doing anything
wrong. “Worst case scenario is you’re going to prison,” I said, finishing my
sentence.
He laughed. “If I go to prison, then everyone
is going to prison. I have the girl waiting to press charges. I have
Anastasia’s testimony. Daniel won’t be able to charm his way out of this one. Joel
will go to prison for rape and Daniel go will go to prison for assisting in the
commission of a crime. Razor Industries is going to need an experienced man at
the helm. I didn’t appreciate being pushed to one side or attending meetings
only to realize no one was listening to me anymore.”
“It’s just business. It doesn’t mean
anything. Twenty years from now you’ll be dead and no one will remember your
name.”
“Fuck, you are a little piece of work
aren’t you? Anastasia should’ve killed you when she had the chance.”
I froze. “What did you just say?”
“Anastasia was the one who pushed you off
the roof. Didn’t Daniel tell you?” Carsten chuckled.
“See, they make deals, these rich kids. They have their own secret society,
their own pacts. Anastasia protected Joel once, so Daniel protected Anastasia.
You see how that works? It’s just business. Now, why would that upset you? What
is Daniel Razor to you? He found you, gave you a wardrobe, fucked you, and then
he discarded you. That’s what they do. If you didn’t like the rules you
shouldn’t have joined the game.”
“I don’t believe you.”
That was a lie. I did believe him. I
believed every word the asshole said but I wanted to provoke him into telling
me more. When I had Anastasia and Daniel arrested for attempted murder, I
needed to have my facts straight. Phil would want details.
“You don’t believe me? Humph. I don’t see
why not. I have nothing to gain one way or the other. You dead, you alive—it
makes no difference to me. I only told you because I thought it was a piece of
information you might enjoy.”
“Why Anastasia would tell you such a
potentially damaging secret? I don’t believe you because I can’t see Anastasia
volunteering that information. And I know Daniel wouldn’t. So you’re making it
up.”
He laughed again. “I got it from the
horse’s mouth. Daniel’s girlfriend tells me everything. Confiding in one
another helps build trust.”
I still didn’t get it but now I was really
intrigued. “What does Anastasia have to do with you? I know about Tallulah and
why you need Joel’s proxy. And I know that you recruited Wilma to pose as his
dead mother.”
“My, you are a knowledgeable young lady.”
His eyes scanned the bridge, first in one direction and then the other. “Where
the hell is she?”
“Who?”
And then she stepped out of the fog,
sauntering toward us slowly, her hands in her pockets, her long blonde hair
bound back in a French braid.
Anastasia.
“There were two of you,” I said, finally
understanding.
“We meet again,” she said with a sweet,
welcoming smile.
“It was you I saw in the hall right after I
got off the phone with Wilma. And when you were having your engagement meeting
with Daniel, it was Wilma Joel saw in the redwood forest. Which one of you
followed me though the woods that day?”
“That was me. I wanted to get a look at
you. You were about what I expected. Cheap.” She turned to Carsten ,
dismissing me. “I parked the van at the Roundhouse. Are we almost done here? I
don’t want to be around when he arrives.”
“This won’t take long. Are you sure you
don’t want to watch?”
“It is a little too melodramatic for my
taste. The bridge, the fog ... Daniel will appreciate it though. Nice that you remembered.”
