Chapter 138

“Come in!” King Maxwell’s voice bellowed from the other side of the door.

“Ari’s been kidnapped,” Grayson blurted out.

“Close the door!” King Maxwell stage whispered.

Xavier hurried to close the door.

“Now, what happened?” the king asked, his voice stern. “Tell me everything.”

Grayson and Xavier told him about the kidnapping being an inside job, the men that were involved, and how she was kidnapped.

“And there’s more,” Grayson said. “Just before Xavier told me that Ari was taken, I went to Ralph Barker’s apartment and found this in a nightstand drawer next to his bed.” He reached inside his suit and pulled out the slip of paper. Then he explained what he thought the initials and numbers meant.

“You mean to tell me that my head of security had your ex-fiancé killed?” the king shouted.
