A Caged Songbird's Escape: Into the Arms of a Predator novel Chapter 654

Maya's entire body tensed as she shot up from the sofa. "I'll go! I'll figure it out!"

The look she gave Finn was now completely laced with pure wariness.

Right.

How could she have forgotten? She wasn't a Wilkinson anymore; she had absolutely no leverage to negotiate with anyone.

Since this man had broken her out specifically for this purpose, if she failed, he could easily toss her right back behind bars.

Finn cast a scrutinizing glance at her before casually putting his phone away. "That's more like it. Smart girl."

Maya clenched her fists, hesitating for a moment before asking steadily, "Do you want Elissa dead?"

"Do you want me to want that or not?"

Finn clearly didn't consider her a threat at all, tossing the question right back at her.

Maya naturally hoped he did.

Otherwise, what was she going to all this trouble for?

Just to avoid going back to a cell?

"If you do, it makes things easier," she said.

Finn wasn't surprised by her answer. He raised an eyebrow slightly. "I do, in fact, want that."

This woman—last time he had felt a shred of pity for her, but she had used it to her advantage.

If he had to do it all over again, he definitely wouldn't show any mercy.

Maya let out a sigh of relief, weighing her options. "This won't be easy to pull off. You need to give me some time."

"Ten days."

Finn emphasized, "Not a single minute more."

Trapped beneath someone else's roof, Maya had no choice but to bow her head and agree.

Having achieved his goal, Finn didn't linger. He left a few men behind to watch her and stood up to leave.

Maya hesitated, but right before he stepped out the door, she asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Finn had only returned to Vistapeak City from abroad last year, and before this year, Maya hadn't mixed in the city's elite circles.

Because of this, she couldn't even begin to guess his identity.
