The Sleeper’s Wrath and His Wife’s Strike Chapter 125

Chapter 125

She suddenly gave a cold laugh, shaking her head in resignation.
Her life no matter the past or present-was always someone’s obsession.
If she wasn’t mistaken, whoever was willing to pay half a million to have her killed had to be the Quigley, with Althea as the prime suspect. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by
Someone who could only scrape together a few grand to hire a low-level hitman clearly didn’t have money, so that ruled out plenty of suspects right there.
Naomi lived off men, but she had a knack for getting her hands on cash. If Naomi wanted Lindsay gone, she wouldn’t have stopped at a lousy ten grand-she understood you got what you paid for.
But aside from Naomi, which other woman did she have bad blood with?
She honestly couldn’t think of anyone.
“I swear, I’ve told you everything I know. Please, just let me go,” the hitman pleaded, trying to tug at Lindsay’s heartstrings. “If it weren’t for my family, I never would’ve taken a risk like this.”
“That’s not an excuse for murder,” Lindsay shot back. “You’re only lucky you ran into me tonight. If your target had really been a defenseless woman, she’d be dead by now.”
The hitman’s face drained of color. He knew he was finished-his luck had finally run out.
“But I’m not a killer,” Lindsay continued, pulling out her phone and snapping several photos of his face. “From tonight on, you’re done with this life. If I ever find out you’re back to making money as a hitman, you’ll spend the rest of your days rotting in prison.”
She wasn’t trying to play the saint. This decision came after careful thought.
The dark web was a lawless place, crawling with all kinds of monsters. Even if she handed him over to the police right now, he’d probably only get three, maybe five years.
And that would be like slapping the dark web in the face-she could imagine what would happen next.
The hitman nodded frantically, holding up three fingers in a desperate pledge. “I swear, I’m out. I’m done with all of it—no more jobs, ever.”
“Go,” Lindsay waved him off. “And leave the car keys.”
He didn’t dare argue. He tossed the keys to the ground and bolted into the night.
Lindsay bent down to pick up the keys and was about to get in the car when a familiar voice called out from the darkness, “You’re still too soft. Sooner or later, that’ll get you killed.”
She froze. Turning, she saw Horace emerge from the shadows.
Her brow furrowed. “You’ve been here the whole time?”
Horace stood with his hands behind his back, looking her squarely in the eye, disappointment etched across his face. “Too soft. You think sparing a hitman will make him grateful? Next time someone puts a price on your head, he’ll take the job again—only this time, he’ll be smarter. He’ll know how to set a trap.”
“I’m not like you,” Lindsay said quietly. “I don’t want blood on my hands.”
Horace gave a derisive laugh. “After everything you’ve been through, you’re still so naïve? You’re not some delicate flower-you carry a mountain of vengeance on your shoulders. You really think keeping your hands clean makes you innocent? You let others do your dirty work, and that keeps your conscience clear?”
A chill ran through Lindsay. She stared at Horace, startled-how did he know about her past? What else did he know?
“Who are you, really?”
“Me?” Horace’s smile was cryptic. “I’m just Horace. Used to be your husband’s caretaker, remember?”
“Cut the act. It’s just the two of us out here you don’t need to play games with me.” Her eyes hardened. “You’ve been following me, haven’t you?”
He shook his head. “Don’t flatter yourself. I just happened to be having dinner at The Tasty Nook tonight. When I saw you get into a cab, I figured I’d check in. That’s all.”
