Free Unbearable Passion - Total Abandonment: Billionaire Erotica Romance (Unbearable Passion series Book 4) by Scarlett Avery Page B

o’clock sharp, we arrive at Liam’s classic red-brick brownstone home. A beautiful black woman of medium complexion greets us. She’s impeccably dressed and I can’t stop admiring her jewelry.
    “Bryce, come in.”
    “Veronica. Thanks for inviting us to your home. I’d like to present Sofia.”
    The tension is insupportable. Neither Bryce nor Veronica look at each other. They’ve decided to focus all their attention on me.
    “Sofia, welcome to our home. If you’ll follow me, Liam is waiting for us in his office. He received the documents Misty sent over and I took a look at them. Sofia, you’ve been hanging out with some pretty shady characters.”
    “Unwillingly. I had no idea this guy was so bad. I made a bad decision and it’s still haunting me today,” I reply, feeling sorry for myself.
    “Listen, we all make mistakes that haunt us.” For the first time since we arrived, Veronica and Bryce lock eyes. The discomfort in that exchange is palpable. Bryce doesn’t say a word, he holds her gaze until she turns on her heels and starts climbing the stairs.
    Veronica and Liam have a beautiful home and the walls adjacent to the stairs are covered with photos of their three beautiful kids. I’m amazed to see their daughter has the same wild and crazy hair as Ciara.
    “Bryce. How are you keeping?”
    Liam is waiting for us at the top of the staircase outside of his office. Liam doesn’t look like I imagined. He’s taller than Bryce by a few inches, he has brown eyes and he doesn’t have Bryce’s good looks.
    “Sofia. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m sorry about this ordeal you’re going through.”
    “It’s a pleasure, Liam. I’m still shaken by all this.”
    “Come inside my office. Let’s all sit and talk.”
    Liam’s office is massive and the walls are covered with hundreds of books.
    “I’ve spent the last hour with Misty and I’ve already made some calls. Your team is amazing. They’ve provided me with so much detailed information, it makes my job much easier. Russians are harder to track. They come to American and they find our system so easy to game—and they do.”
    “But this bad guy is one of the smart ones, honey.”
    Veronica is so elegant and so beautiful. It’s no surprise Bryce fell head over heels for her.
    “You’re right, Veronica. I wasn’t one of the highest-paid attorneys in this city for no good reason. I only go for the kill or I don’t bother getting out of bed. I found a few holes. Our Russian friend was sloppy in many of his dealings and he left a nice trail for your team to follow. When they sent me their findings, I was able to get a few people who have ears in all sorts of mobster hangouts to help fill in the gaps.” 
    “So what have you found, Liam?”
    “This Russian thief did leave four days ago. He landed at Heathrow in London the next day before boarding another plane in direction of Berlin, Germany. He had barely touched ground in Berlin before he was off to Ankara in Turkey. He stayed there for exactly forty-eight hours before heading to another destination. From the information I got from your team, he didn’t book any hotels in Ankara, which leads me to believe he spent two days at the airport or he has a local contact there. I’ve got someone on it as I speak to confirm any contacts in Turkey. Ten minutes before you arrived, I got a confirmation that he just booked a hotel in Panaji in the state of Goa in India.”
    “India? The scumbag selected the perfect place on this planet to get lost and fly under the radar—even if it’s in the country’s smallest state.”
    “That’s exactly the conclusion I came to. I’m going to make calls to get extradition papers, but luckily America has a great relationship with India.”
    “He’s smart. He’s making it hard for us to track him down. He’s been in five different countries spread over three continents in a matter of days. What makes you think Goa is his final destination?”
    While Bryce
