       Chapter Four

      “I really don’t think this is a good idea,” Olivia said, not for the first time.

      Lucian couldn’t argue with her about that. It probably did feel like a bad idea to her. Especially with the memories from the attack still so fresh. But he wasn’t giving Olivia any options about this. She was going home with him so he could protect her.

      At least now she knew for certain that she needed protection.

      Though nearly being killed had been a bad way to have it confirmed.

      “The cops might find the car and the driver,” he reminded her. “They might be able to see something on the security footage so they can make an arrest.”

      And it could happen. However, judging from the hmmp sound she made, Olivia didn’t believe it for a second.

      Lucian didn’t, either.

      He was betting that if it was Estelle or Harvey behind that wheel, then they’d orchestrated alibis and a fake license plate to cover their asses. Or they could have just hired someone to kill Olivia and him.

      But why?

      Did the killer think Olivia and he were that close to learning the identity of who’d murdered Marissa and Damien? Because they weren’t close at all. Worse, they couldn’t even go to the cops with this.

      Not with the spiritual possession part, anyway.

      That would get them a quick trip to the psychiatric hospital for evaluation, and that’s why Lucian had been very careful what they’d told the police while giving their statements. Lucian had said he was looking into the murders after he’d bought the building and had become interested in them.
