Aiden Knight's POV
I released Sterling Finch's head, letting him collapse fully into the dirt. His ragged breathing was the only sound in the abandoned construction site.
"Your grandson died because he chose corruption over honor," I said, looking down at the broken old man. "You followed the same path by coming here seeking revenge instead of justice."
Sterling's good hand clawed weakly at the ground. Blood trickled from his mouth where he'd bitten his tongue during his fall.
"Kill me then," he wheezed. "Finish what you started."
"Death would be mercy. You're going to live with the knowledge that you failed Vincent's memory completely."
I turned away from him and walked back toward the sedan. Leo had the door open before I reached it.
"Hospital," I told Leo as I settled into the seat. "Drop him at the emergency entrance. Don't let them see your face."
"Understood, sir."
