He had a very bad feeling about this.

Immediately, he felt totally responsible for whatever Cage was about to say.

‘I’m ready for it, tell me,’ Kane said, seeing that Cage was waiting for him to relax and be ready to take the information on board. ‘I need to know. She’s… my Little.’

‘That lowlife creep wasn’t done with Cassie,’ Cage said, his face full of disgust. ‘Not only was he responsible for hacking Cassie. He wanted all her unpublished work. On top of that he was threatening to reveal to the comic community that Cassie was a Little…’

‘Fuck. This must stop. I have to do something,’ Kane said, the anger in his belly firing up. ‘How do we solve this?’

‘Just wait. There’s something else,’ Cage said, steeling himself to deliver more bad news. ‘The scumbag, Lyle’s his name… he made Cassie strip and pose for photos.’

Kane couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

He was on the one hand totally disgusted in this asshole Lyle.

On the other, he felt absolutely awful for Cassie.

Sweet, lovely Cassie.

What the hell had she done to deserve this?

No one deserved this type of treatment.

No one.

‘But this is blackmail? Surely you can arrest him,’ Leon exclaimed, stepping up to the plate and letting Kane get his head around things. ‘There surely has to be a legal process in place for this?’

‘Yup, and that’s what we’ll be looking into,’ Cage said. ‘But that will take time. And it won’t stop Lyle from getting the information online. Once that happens, it’ll be out there forever.’

‘And we cannot allow that,’ Kane said, a steely determination coming over his voice. ‘Cassie is my responsibility. I’m her Daddy. Her guardian. I let her down earlier. I’ll own that. But not again. Not this time.’

Kane’s mind was ticking over at rapid speed.

There had to be something he could do. A way around this. But sometimes the most obvious answers are the best.

Cage and Leon exchanged knowing looks.

‘If only we knew someone with some skill or ability in the field of… hacking,’ Leon said, his sardonic tone in full effect.

‘Yeah, imagine that,’ Cage replied. ‘Kane, any ideas?’

Kane looked at Cage and Leon.

The plan came to him, fully formed.

It was time to take Lyle on at his own game.

But it wasn’t going to be easy. And it would require a hefty dose of luck too.

‘Savior Daddies, let’s do it,’ Kane said. ‘It’s time to give Cassie her life back.’

Cassie

‘Here you are, a nice warm oat milk for you,’ Katie said, handing Cassie her favorite teddy bear mug. ‘Let’s just sit down and try to figure this stinky situation out.’

Cassie smiled.
