Cashing Out
Do I
swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
How
can I, when the truth will destroy us all? Now that I've started telling lies,
I can't stop. Not until all this is over, and I'm free of the family that never
felt like mine. Maybe it's wrong. Maybe I'm a bad person.
But
it's definitely the only way I'm ever going to escape them. I have to take this
opportunity to end things between us once and for all, no matter what it takes.
Don't
I?
And here's a little taste of Judgment (Deck of Lies, #4). You won't find this brief excerpt anywhere else!
“It’s fine,
Rain,” Asher assured me maybe four minutes later. He’d excused himself to leave
the room, no doubt to talk to media outside the courthouse, and arrived looking
loose and relaxed. At least someone was having a good time. “Warren loves to
showboat and grandstand, but he’s never won a case in a head-to-head against
me.”
“This isn’t a
boxing match,” I answered woodenly. My eyes were still glued to the judge’s
bench, though she’d retired to the little room where she hid when court wasn’t
in session. I didn’t dare look to the jury; I didn’t know what I would find
there if I did.
“You’re wrong
about that,” Asher answered. He was actually smiling as he double-checked to
make sure his cufflinks were in place and his tie was perfectly straight. He
had his briefcase open, and I caught him checking his hair in a tiny mirror
secured to the inside corner before he closed it. “It is a boxing match, and
you’ve got the better man on your side. Just wait and see,” he added.
Asher came to
his feet like he knew the bailiff would choose that moment to enter. The judge
followed, and within a minute the court settled down into uneasy silence.
Graham Warren’s speech had left its mark on them all.
It was Asher’s
job to undo all that work.
“Court is
resumed,” the judge tapped her gavel. “Mr. von Shelton, we are now prepared to
hear your opening statement.”
Act one of my
drama continued as Asher swept gracefully to the center of the room. His brown
hair gleamed under the lights, and his light blue silk tie perfectly brought
out the golden, tanned tone of his skin.
