Owner of Langford Realty.

Arthur’s landlord.

He called Arthur a “problem tenant,” called Rafe a thug, threatened lawsuits with the same casual tone someone might order lunch. He said Arthur would be thrown out that night, not Friday. He said Evelyn didn’t matter. Dead wives, to him, weren’t leverage.

Something ancient and dangerous flickered behind Rafe’s eyes.

But the twist came not from fists.

It came from truth.
