Liam Knight was coming back from inspecting a location. The place was a dump. Liam thought he had found a diamond in the rough, but he sensed wrong. Liam was angry with himself; last week, his brother had closed a very important deal. That could have been his success. If he was not busy planning Axel's career's early demise, he would have been the one to close the deal.
He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he missed the turn. He kept driving around to ease his frustration. He pulled over his car to check the GPS. He was about to turn when he noticed a beautiful girl standing behind the counter of a café. She was talking to an elderly man. He sat in his car, watching her. When the man left, there were a few people left inside. That was his cue. He walked inside. The girl gave him a smile—one he was sure she gave to every customer. But her smile dropped when she saw him. Liam smirked. She was nervous, and he liked that. He was a bully, and he wanted his prey to submit to him.
Liam kept checking her out, hoping for her to lash out or cry. But she stood her ground. He enjoyed that. When she asked for his name, he gave the one he always used in situations like this, "Axel Knight." This trick always worked. From calling a girl a slut when she refused to dance with him in the club to breaking a man's jaw when they tried to save the girl's honor. Gossip columns loved these stories, not even caring to double-check the facts, and Axel's name made the news the next day.
After he was satisfied with checking her out, he asked for a coffee so she would turn around. He knew she was aware of his gaze on her ass. But she still stood her ground—fascinating, he thought. He loved breaking those who thought they were strong. But they always broke, sooner or later.
He left, taking a sip of the coffee. It was one of the best he ever had. He threw the pastries out of the window of his car and made a call.
"James, I want full details on this girl. She works in a café downtown, Arianna. Do it fast." This wasn't the first time Liam called a private investigator. Mostly, the calls were made to find out about the girls Axel hung out with. This one time, the girl he hooked up with and dumped turned out to be the chief of police's daughter. He was lucky she didn't say anything to her father. He started being more careful from there on—better safe than sorry.
Two months went by, and Liam nearly forgot that he had asked his PI to do a job when he called him.
"Sir, I gathered complete information on the girl."
