Status Updates From Vengeful (Villains, #2)

Victoria Elizabeth Schwab, how dare you make me feel sympathy for that rat bastard Eli Ever!

They’d set their trap at the hospital, lain in wait. They’d gotten Victor to come to them, which meant they hadn’t been able to find him. But that didn’t mean they wouldn’t. Did they already know about Sydney? What would happen if they found her instead?
(Dude goes from calling her a nuisance, to being like “oh no! What if they killed her instead!?”)

Stell’s gaze went to the slim silver briefcase the board had given him, the collar nested inside. Agent Rios was still standing there, silent, waiting. Stell rose to his feet. “Prepare a transport team for tomorrow.” Rios raised a brow. “For which prisoner?” “Cardale.”

Sydney caught his arm. "Be care-
ful," she said.
What a nuisance, Victor told him-
self, even as he rested his hand on
her head.
"Careful is a calculated risk," he
said. "And I'm very good at making
those."
