“What dress is this?” Cathy asked with a frown.“Your sister helped me with my final project for school,” Sabrina said quickly. “I am taking textile designing and management, and I had to make a design of my own and take it from print to model, but the woman who was supposed to do the photos was sick, so Sandra did it in her stead. Because of her, I received the highest marks in my class, so when Creighton asked if I would be willing to sell my design to his future bride, I agreed willingly.”“It was your design that earned you the grade, not the photos,” Sandra said with another blush when Creighton released her from his embrace.“Just think, everyone is going to see it and want one just like it,” Irena said excitedly. “It will be just like Hollywood. You’ll both be famous.”“I’m more famous then I’d prefer to be,” Sandra said shyly.“Sabrina, you and Irena go get the dessert and we’ll adjourn to the parlor,” Emma instructed to disrupt the conversation and return it to normal. The g

“Sandra…” he began.“He’s your brother,” she interrupted, touching his cheek gently. “I don’t want anything to interfere in our marriage. You’re both adults - okay, maybe he isn’t the best farmer in history, neither is Cathy - but that is old news. He is what he is, and he has his own opinion on how he wants his life to be lived. It doesn’t affect you or me. You need to tell him about Miriam’s book, and you need to clear the air. Talk to him, if not for my sake than for your mother’s. It’s obvious that she doesn’t want her boys at odds with each other.” Creighton drew a deep breath and sighed.“I know you mean well, Sandra, but this is different than an argument over a toy. He was a lazy bugger who refused to help father and shagged the same girl I was. He always treated people like they were less than he and I have no respect for him. How am I supposed to just pretend that we’re old friends? Hell, I could get on with a hog better than with him.”“Then pretend he’s a hog but talk to h

“She’s written a book and we’re in it. She talks about her first sexual encounters.”“How much does she talk about?” Andrew said in a very hushed tone.“All of it, more than I ever knew. Oddly enough, it appears she shagged just about every bloke in the county, including you.” The two were quiet for a few minutes as they considered the past and how to broach the next subject.“I watched you sneak into that old barn with her for weeks,” Andrew began softly. “At first, I thought it was amusing. You were young and shy, never really had much to do with the girls, so fooling around with her was a joke. But then I heard the blokes at school talking about her, how cute she was, and everyone wanted to shag her, but you were the one doing it. I guess I got jealous.”“The way she described your encounter with her, she practically admitted that you raped her.”“I suppose I did. I’m not proud of it, Crey. It was only the one time and I felt sick afterward. Hell, it took me nearly a year before I

Sandra bid Creighton good night just after midnight as the house began to wind down. They stepped out on the front porch and waited while Derek and Kristin carried their sleeping children home, followed behind by Andrew and Cathy, who stepped to the front walkway, talking silently for a few minutes before he kissed her good night. Much more passionately than Sandra would have anticipated.“How did it go?” she asked after Cathy retired to the house, leaving them alone on the porch.“It was much as you had thought,” he told her, his arms around her as they snuggled on the wicker settee, looking across the field to their new house. “Nobody knew I was shagging Miriam until her father caught us.”“See? Not as bad as you thought.”“Your GPA shines again,” he teased, kissing her temple. “Since I did you that favor, it’s time for payment.”“Exactly what did you have in mind? You’re spending the night at your brother’s.” Sandra smiled, knowing full well he had other plans in mind than sleeping

“That took forever,” he grumbled softly, shutting the window behind him and pulling the drapes closed. “I thought she was never going to leave.”“I haven’t seen her in nearly two weeks. She just wanted to talk,” she whispered back.“No, she wanted to talk you out of marrying me,” he complained in a hushed whisper. He stepped to the door and took the chair that sat next to the old desk, sliding the back under the handle to keep intruders out.“She didn’t succeed,” Sandra assured him. A smile of anticipation etched her features as she watched him.“Good. I’d hate to think about dragging you to our wedding in handcuffs.” Creighton folded her into his arms, kissing her neck softly before nipping it with his teeth.“I want you in many, many ways,” he whispered.“But we only have a few hours before everyone wakes up.”“Then we’ll have to make sure our honeymoon is very memorable.” The sound of a zipper sliding down made Sandra giggle softly; one arm was still circled around her waist, his

“Total control means total release,” he told her. “You have no choice but to take what is given and accept your orgasm to the fullest.”“You are amazing,” she said with a giggle.“So are you. Maybe we can do that again later?” he asked as he rose above her to look into her eyes. She blushed but nodded, causing him to smile happily. He wrapped her in his warm embrace, rolling over on the bed and pulling the covers over them both.“Sleep now, my love,” he whispered next to her ear. “Tomorrow is going to be a very busy day for us.” “Wake up, Sandra.” Sandra heard the words spoken softly, warmly, like melting chocolate across ice cream. She moaned, curling deep beneath the layer of soft blankets, her eyes refusing to open to the intrusion of her dreams. A soft chuckle echoed through her misty mind, and she smiled.“Wake up, my love, or I’ll have no choice but to wake you up.”“Is that a threat or a promise?” she asked, hearing the soft chuckle again, feeling the warmth of his mouth aga

Sandra gasped, her heart pounding in her ears when the man shut the door behind him, smiling at her, showing his rotting yellow teeth beneath thin chapped lips. She couldn’t believe this was happening, and her mind quickly ran through a million scenarios at once. Was this a game, a mistake, had he harmed her family or Creighton’s? What the hell was going on and how was she going to get away?“So, you’re the one he’s marrying,” he said in a broken accent. Sandra tried to place it, but she was too nervous to think beyond the moment at hand. “He owes me for three years of hell,” the man continued. He moved forward, forcing Sandra to step backwards. She tried to back up but ran into the vanity, stopping her retreat. The man stared at her, his eyes roaming over her slender towel clad frame. His bushy blonde eyebrows raised in approval.“Nice work. He has taste.” Sandra tried to back away again when the man reached the gun toward her, lifting a strand of wet hair across its end. “Real nice

“Darling, you’ll be safe here. I'll be right back.” Creighton kissed her forehead softly and hurried out the door behind the others.“This is insane,” Cathy snapped. “You need to go back to Kansas. At least there, the only thing to worry about is tornados.”“I’m not leaving,” Sandra said softly, wiggling her cold numb fingers. “This is my home now and I’m not running away. Creighton will protect me.”“Where was he a few minutes ago when a crazed ex-con walked into his parents’ home and up the stairs without being seen? He has a man hunting him down, Sandra, and he wants revenge. You’re the one he’ll be able to get to the easiest. Creighton has security guards and bodyguards to protect him, what do you have?”“I have Creighton,” Sandra snapped, her anger warming the cool fear and making her feel more alert. “He wasn’t here because he was getting ready for our wedding and he has guards to protect me as well. I am not leaving him because of one crazy person, so stop trying to talk me int

TRUST ME Chapter 420
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
TRUST ME Chapter 414
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
TRUST ME Chapter 412
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.
