Chapter 26 Forced To Leave

• Van Dyke was furious. He had been duped. How could he not have seen through Roxanne?
• Such an innocent-looking little wh*re. And he had fallen for it, and had actually started to care for Roxanne. He had been firm about not sending her back to her brother, although just yesterday, Nico had sent an emissary, offering Van Dyke a large sum of money for his sister’s return.
• But like a besotted idiot, Van Dyke had not wanted to hurt her, for he had seen the look of abject terror on her face whenever he mentioned Nico Piccolo’s name.
