Greed (The Seven Deadly #2)
Release Day: October 29th, 2013
Synopsis:
Gather ‘round, love, because I want you. I want what you have, I want what you don’t have, I want more of what I already have. I want. But if you so much as ask for something in return, go ahead and walk away. Know if you want to play in my world, it’s every man for themselves and the weak become mine. Leeches will be obliterated because I make it my job to destroy them. I protect what’s mine and I take what’s yours...because that’s what I do. I want.
My story will not endear me to you and, frankly, I could care less if it does because I’m in this for the money and nothing else. There’s nothing redeeming about me. I’m a corrupt, money hungry, immoral asshole from Los Angeles. I’m every man’s worst nightmare and every girl’s fantasy.
I’m Spencer Blackwell...And this is the story about how I went from the world’s most coveted guy to the guy no one wanted around and why I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
Prologue
Greed is a strange,
strange sin.
All you want to do
is acquire. Acquire money, acquire material, acquire time, acquire energy,
acquire attention. The running mantra is “I want, I want, I want” but that
quickly turns to “I need, I need, I need.”
Suddenly there just isn’t enough
time for friends, for family, for anyone. Your goal is to acquire and to make
sure what you acquire stays acquired. Your life depends on it. You don’t see
truth because the truth is shadowed by enormous homes, incredibly fast cars, in
lavish spending. Your life no longer belongs to you, but you are blind to it
all because those around you are seeking the same.
So you shuffle
along at an impossible rate, and you pass the real world around you.
But what you’ll
come to realize, altogether too late, is that it’s never enough. It’s simply
never enough.
Chapter One
“It’s
confirmed. Peter Knight of Evergreen won’t approve the acquisition. You know
what to do,” my snake of a father told me, not two steps into his front door.
“I just got
off a seven-hour flight. You can’t let me settle in? Possibly say hello?”
He stood,
watching me, a slight tick in his square jaw. He tucked his hands into his
Italian silk pants. His six-foot frame followed the steps up to the foyer and
stopped a few inches away from my own. We were face to face. Although I fell an
inch shorter, he no longer intimidated me. I knew if I had to, I could kick his
ass.
“Hello,
Spencer,” he said, a serpent’s smile spread wide across his mouth before
falling flat. “Get to work. I don’t pay you to sit around. I don’t care if it
is your Christmas break.”
We stayed
where we were, each waiting on the other to back down. The tension was
palpable. In the end, his face relaxed and he began to chuckle, stepping aside
and
making way for me.
I picked up my bags and headed for my room, giving myself plenty of space to
pass him without touching him.
When I got to the bottom of the stairs, I
changed my mind and threw my bags on the second to last step, intending to pick
them up later. I stretched my muscles, loving the feel of my back popping, and
started for the kitchen.
“Where the
hell do you think you’re going?” he asked, still standing in the foyer,
watching my every move.
“If I don’t
say hi to Mom and Bridge, they’ll think something’s up,” I told him and
continued on.
He didn’t respond,
but I felt his stare burning into the back of my head.
