Sandra sat on the sofa the next day, reading Miriam’s book as Creighton lay napping with his head on her lap. It was such a comfortable feeling, doing normal everyday activities with this man. They had slept in until a little after ten and ate a late breakfast of cheese, croissants, poached eggs and sliced ham. Creighton said they were meeting Aryana and Daniel later that afternoon after their doctor’s appointment, which left them several hours to relax and enjoy each other’s company.

Creighton called the Don and argued with him for nearly fifteen minutes, trying to convince him to come to Paris to speak with his daughter, but to no avail. He refused and said he would not come to her. She was the one to come back and the one to explain and apologize for her behavior.

It had been well over a week since she sat down and read, and she found herself enjoying it immensely, even though Miriam’s book was filled with perverted memories of her past. She had just finished a chapter that she fou

    Unlike most of the men in my father’s German videos, Buddy was circumcised. It was an amazing and interesting sight, and I thought he looked much better than the men I saw in pictures. I licked his erection and sucked on him until he stirred and opened his eyes. He stared at me in shock and alarm but didn’t say anything. I think he was enjoying the act as well as the fear of being caught as much as I was.When I felt him pulsating in my hand, I stopped and looked at him. He didn’t say anything, he just stared at me as though I were a dream. I crawled up his long body and lay on top of him. I kissed him very softly at first, but he quickly got involved and kissed me back. I loved it. His need was throbbing against my leg, and he moaned deeply into my mouth. I had never felt so erotic. When we finally broke free of each other, he said he thought I was angry with him. Well, I was, for a while, but then I realized we just needed to keep working at sex until we got it right. He agreed, and

    I tried to get him to stop, but he was crazed, he just kept hitting him, over and over. I saw the blood in the snow, and even as big as Buddy was, I knew he wasn’t strong enough to withstand the brute strength of my father’s anger for long. I ran to his house and pounded on the door, screaming for Buddy’s father to come help. His older brothers were home for the holiday, and they all came running, along with his mother and sisters. By the time we got back to the barn, Buddy was lying unconscious in the snow, my father standing over him with the bloody reigns panting like a bear. Buddy’s father and brother #1 laid into my father, beating him with their fists as Buddy’s mother, sisters and #2 went to Buddy’s aid.Buddy’s back and arms were shredded like raw meat. The snow beneath him was soaked red, and I felt the grip of terror as I looked at him. I thought he was dead, and I knew it was my fault. Buddy had been my friend more than he had been my lover, and I had caused this to happen.

    Sandra sat watching Creighton, his vision was fixed ahead of him, his jaw tight and his mouth in a firm line. She had finished reading the chapter from Miriam’s book and glanced at him, trying to judge his reaction to what he had just learned.“Are you all right?” she asked. He was angry, she could feel it radiating around them, but she wasn’t sure to whom it was directed. Maybe she shouldn’t have read him the book, maybe she should have kept Miriam’s secret.“Am I naive, or am I just stupid?” Creighton asked in a very angry tone. Sandra stared at him in amazement.“Neither one. Why do you ask?”“I had no idea any of that was happening right under my very nose, and Andrew? I can’t believe he shagged the same girl I was and never told me. How could I be so blind?”“It wasn’t your fault. Miriam said she wanted to tell you, but Andrew threatened her. She was afraid.”“No, she wasn’t,” he snapped, standing to pace the carpet. “She said she found the roughness exciting. I wasn’t rough wit

    “You just need to step back and look at the whole picture, without the emotion.”“Like you did with Cathy?” he asked gently. “You may have been angry with me for opening your eyes, but you finally stepped back and saw what I was telling you was the truth."“I guess I’ve always known how she treated me. I just didn’t want to see it or acknowledge it. She is my sister and I wanted things to be calm. That’s why I think you need to talk to Andrew. You need to get the feelings of the past straight so you can bury them and move forward.” “You should have been a shrink,” he teased, kissing her forehead.“What about the house? Are you still going to buy it?” Creighton frowned.“I really did want it. I still think it’s the best place to raise a family.”“How did the local boys, and girls for that matter, treat you after Miriam’s father attacked you?” Sandra asked, watching the frown slowly creep across his face again.“When I went back to school, everyone asked how I was, but that was about i

    “Congratulations,” he said returning her hug very briefly then carefully removed her arms. Daniel looked very proud and a little sick as his hand reached out and shook Creighton’s hand.“Thank you,” he said with a wide smile. Creighton turned to see the young brunette hugging tightly to Sandra’s neck and shook his head.“This calls for a celebration,” Creighton said, retrieving the bottle of domperidone from the bar. “You get juice,” he teased Aryana as he passed out the glasses, handing her a crystal goblet of orange juice. The girl frowned at him but accepted the drink and raised it to clink with the others.“We have reservations in Lyon, so we’ll eat supper there, but we need to get moving,” Creighton said a little while later as they all reclined on the sofa.“Lyon?” Aryana squealed. “We were married in Lyon, remember?” she cooed to her husband, wrapping her arm around his and laid her head against his shoulder.“How could I forget?” he said softly. “It was the best day of my lif

    “It’s the press release,” she told him, glancing up when he sat down across from her, raising an eyebrow to her. With a deep sigh, she began to read it out loud.“New Hope Technologies has confirmed the engagement of owner, Creighton Ashford to American, Sandra Dennis. Mr. Ashford and Miss Dennis met in America and have known each other for two years. They will be moving to London this summer, where Miss Dennis will continue her work as an aspiring children’s novelist. The couple has not made any decisions as to when or where they will marry but say it will be sometime later this year. New Hope has no further information at this time, but we wish the young couple the best of luck and our sincerest congratulations.”“Does that work for you?” he asked her when she finished reading.“Yes, but why did you say we would be moving to London?”“Because, I don’t want the press hiding out behind the bushes of our new house before we have a chance to set up proper security measures. Besides, if

    Aryana proved Daniel correct and shopped until Creighton and Sandra were the ones exhausted. They stopped long enough to eat a late supper and then continued the girl’s favorite sport. Creighton bought everything she asked for. New shoes, new makeup, baby clothes, stroller, toys and wall décor for the nursery, before placing an order for a rocking chair, ottoman, changing table, play pen and jungle gym to be delivered to their home in Paris. This baby had enough of everything, to never have to wear the same outfit twice. Creighton complained of a headache, Sandra's feet hurt, and Daniel insisted his back would not survive another package. Aryana finally got tired enough to slow down around ten o’clock and announced she was starving…again. They went back to the hotel and ordered pastries to be sent up to the room, along with a tray of fruit.Sandra entered first, kicking her shoes off the minute she sat down on the large floral sofa. Creighton joined her on the couch and moaned, stret

    “I can’t believe any of this,” she said a few minutes later after they stepped out of the hot water, wrapping the towels around their naked bodies.“What?” Creighton asked with a slight frown.“Who in their right minds goes to France on vacation and gets married before it’s through?”“We do,” he answered with a warm chuckle and a wide smile.The trip to Milan was much more pleasant than Sandra had anticipated. Aryana was exhausted from her shopping the night before and napped in the back seat once again, allowing the other three some time to relax before meeting up with her father. Creighton had arranged a hotel for the night for the four of them, just in case the Don wasn’t as receptive to his daughter’s new husband as they hoped he would be.Creighton crossed the border into Italy a little after two that afternoon, and rather than going directly to Aryana’s family home, he drove to the hotel. He insisted they settle in before he called the Don, so he could calm him down and prepare

    Sandra hung up the phone with a slam, then glanced to her grandparents who were sitting at the kitchen table. She was starting to get angry with all the rejections and dead-end avenues. She called Davies and told him she wanted him to get the plane ready to go to France, only to be told the police had restricted his flying. They were concerned that whomever it was that had killed her husband would try and sabotage the jet.She was getting frustrated and felt like she was being held back. If she didn’t know better, she would think she was being placed under lockdown. She could understand the police’s concern, but she had more men around her then they had at Fort Knox, and she would be willing to take all of them with her if she needed to.“I can’t leave the house, I can’t go to France, I can’t even gather eggs,” she grumbled as she joined the older couple. “What am I supposed to do? I can’t sit here and wait until doomsday to find out what happened to my husband.”“Honey, you’re going

    The room was warm as the setting sun shone through the blinds. Two detectives sat on the sofa, watching as the man continued to pace the floor. Trying to keep him calm was growing increasingly harder with each hour.Creighton could only assume the horror his family was going through, not to mention Sandra. They had been having difficulties, but this made all of that seem trivial. He had to call her, he had to contact her somehow and let her know he was alive, but the police were refusing to allow him the chance. They had to keep him concealed for the time being, though it was steadily becoming impossible. The man was acting like a caged animal, anxiously trying to find a means of escape.“How much longer do we have to sit here?” he growled, looking to those gathered around.“We need you to remain patient for a little longer,” a bald-headed man told him. “Monsieur Ashford, we understand what you’re going through…”“Like hell you do,” Creighton snapped. “I have a pregnant wife at home w

    “I know she’ll be happy when it’s over,” Emma said, returning to the room, her eyes red from the tears she’d been wiping away. “She can’t let Brandon go to school, and she has to keep the children inside instead of letting them go out to play.”“I’m sure they are going stir crazy,” Cathy said with a frown. “Especially Grace. That little girl is used to having the freedom of the farm to run and play.”“The only good thing is the weather,” William told them. “It’s been really wet, and she doesn’t like getting her dresses dirty.”“Sounds like her aunt,” Andrew said with a soft chuckle.“Maybe we should take this meeting over to my sister’s,” Cathy suggested with a sideways grin.“Let me call Derek and Kristin,” William said, standing and walking to the phone on the wall. “They wanted to know what you found out.”“Just have them meet us at Sandra’s,” Andrew told him. “We can discuss this all there.”“I thought Sabrina and Irena would be here,” Cathy said, looking at Emma who was wrapping

    Parker and Harvey held off the reporters for as long as they could alone, then eventually had to call NHT’s security. Within a few short hours, there were enough burly looking men to scare off anyone trying to get near the house. Sandra kept her children inside, though it really wasn’t difficult. The rain had eased by supper, but just like the past several days, it picked up again this morning.Max growled as he laid of the entry. The noise of cameras clicking, and the soft hum of voices mingled among the breezes of the day. She had tried to watch television, but every station was reporting on the accident. Eventually, she had no choice but to surrender and put on Grace’s favorite princess movie. At least it kept them from listening to those who insisted that there was no hope in finding any answers this soon.Sandra drew a deep breath as she wiped the moisture from her forehead. She had decided to keep herself busy and baked two apple pies, along with nearly a hundred sugar cookies.

    “No, it’s about assuming you knew what I would want. You did this, claiming it was for us when it was for you. You can’t stand the idea that your little sister has something you never would. It was bad enough when I felt like I was competing with Creighton for your attention, but now I’m watching you compete with Sandra for the mother of the year award.”“Stop comparing me to Sandra!” Cathy screamed. “It’s not my fault she’s perfect. She’s always been everyone’s favorite. I can’t tell you how many boyfriends I’ve dumped after I found out they were using me to get close to her. I didn’t want Creighton, but after he chose her over me, it made me angry. I was competing with her again, and she was too stupid to realize it. He chose that simple, no makeup, no fuss girl over me. She shares his bed, when I’m a better lover then she would ever be. She has his money, his admiration, your parents’ admiration, even my grandparents enjoy spending time with her over me. She even has a perfect body

    “Maybe Michelle heard from him,” the boy said hopefully.“I haven’t spoken with her, but I want to call in the morning. She may know something more than the police do.”The two were silent for a long time as they considered their own thoughts, until Sandra realized the tea was gone. She looked to Brandon who looked like he was finally able to fall asleep, then stood and took the cups to the sink.“Come on, son,” she told him, wrapping her arm around his shoulders. “Let’s see if we can get some sleep.”“Mum, can I come sleep with you?” Brandon asked once they reached the second floor of their house.Sandra smiled and hugged the boy, nodding as he looked up to her.“You can sleep on your daddy’s side,” she told him. “Just don’t tell him I let you in our bed. He may get jealous.”Brandon smiled as he walked with her into the bedroom. Sandra helped him between the covers and tucked him in, then left to check on Grace. The house was silent and soft snores of her little girl could be heard

    Sandra paced her bedroom trying to stop her mind from racing through the events of the day. Derek had come home after his mother called him, insisting on picking up Brandon from school. Sabrina called to say the reporters were going crazy with the news of the Tornado’s fire and that she and Giovanni would be home as soon as they could get there.Irena spoke with her parents and insisted on calling in a prescription for Sandra’s nerves, though she refused to use it. She needed to stay alert and concentrate in order to determine what was going on. The last thing she needed was to surrender to the effects of a drug.After speaking with Andrew, William informed the rest of the family about Cathy’s surgery, though he wouldn’t go into detail. He assured them he would check into the reports from his end and stay abreast of the investigation. Once Cathy felt like traveling, they would drive out to Yorkshire to be with the family.Nana tried to get Sandra to let her stay overnight, but she was

    Sandra opened her eyes and looked around. She was in her bedroom, yet she couldn’t remember laying down. The house was silent and the soft pattering of rain outside reminded her that the dog had made a muddy mess of the entry. Then she remembered her grandfather and William coming over, and slowly began to piece together the last thing she remembered.There had been an accident on the Tornado and three bodies were found. She knew in her heart it wasn’t Creighton. She couldn’t even begin to guess who would have been on their ship, or how it ended up at sea, but she knew her husband wasn’t the one killed. Now all she had to do, was convince the others into believing her.Sandra stepped down the stairs to hear Grace talking to her great-grandfather, the dog running from one room to another as he chased his rope and the smells of food drifting out of the kitchen. She stepped into the living room and saw Papa sitting beside Grace, one of her own books open in front of him as he listened to

    Sandra stared at the two men for a long moment as their words began to sink in. When she spoke with her husband earlier that morning, he was still at the hotel. He didn’t mention having plans of returning to the yacht. Why would he go back there when he told her he was packing to come home?Then she thought about the bodies found. One was female. Who was it? Did Creighton lie to her about not being involved with Garcon’s assistant? Had he gone there to meet with her, perhaps a final rendezvous before coming home to his family?“Did you hear what we said?” Papa asked her.“It’s impossible,” she began, her anger taking over her words. Sandra looked down at Grace who was trying to wipe the muddy water from her little dress. She hadn’t understood what her grandparents were saying. All she cared about was her soiled outfit.“Sweetheart, go upstairs and find a clean dress,” Sandra told the little girl. “Put that one in the hamper and warsh your hands. We’ll make lunch when you’ve finished.
