Two days later . . . Cameron had called Catherine’s office yesterday and asked her to meet him for lunch at the Four Seasons. The maître d escorted Catherine to Cameron’s table. Cameron stood as they approached. He was wearing a charcoal suit with a silk light blue tie and a white shirt. “Good afternoon, Catherine.” “Cameron,” she said with a nod. The maître d pulled a chair out for her. It was across from Cameron. “I waited to order,” he said and sat back down. “Do you know what you want to drink, miss?” the maître d asked. “Club soda.” The maître d nodded and left them. Catherine opened the menu that was already on the table. “The steak here is fantastic,” Cameron said as he opened his menu. “I’m sure it is, but I think I’ll get some sort of salad,” she said as she looked at the list of specialty salads. “Do you have

Matt had let Catherine into the mansion. He left her to walk to the study alone. The double doors were closed. Catherine knocked. “Who is it?” the slurred rough voice asked. She pushed one of the doors open. “Ah, Catherine,” Cameron slurred. “Nice of you to stop by. Sorry about the mess.” And what a mess it was. Almost all the books had been pulled off the shelves. What looked like papers, pictures, and books were in the fireplace. The items that had been on Cameron’s desk were in the floor. The only spot in the room that seemed somewhat orderly was the minibar. I never should have told him who it was. Cameron drunkenly tilted his head at her like he was trying to read her mind. “Well, at least I didn’t . . . do all this to Derek Dawson’s face.” “True,” she mumbled as she stepped into the room. Cameron’s usually neatly combed dark hair was disheveled. His white shir

Catherine looked at herself in the full-length mirror in the hall bathroom. Her bedroom bathroom didn’t have a mirror as big. She took a deep breath. She had curled her hair and brushed it out, giving it a soft and bouncing effect. She liked it a lot. The dress was daring for her, but she felt oddly sexy in it. Luckily, she had shoes that matched it. Thigh highs were sheer, making her legs shine a little. She wore a diamond necklace and earring set her father had gifted her last Christmas. The four carat studs sparkled on her lobes. The necklace had the same size diamonds set in white gold all the way around her neck. Other than my engagement ring, Bruce had never bought me jewelry. Looks like the only real sweetheart I have is Father. She had put her make-up on the way the make-up artist had done it. She walked out the bathroom and to the living room. When a Marc Kauffman delivery man had come to her door she was stunned. She already ha

Cameron was in the dining room at his mansion. He was waiting for Don and Matt to bring breakfast out. Cameron knew how to cook a little bit, but he hadn’t been able to go into the kitchen since the night he found Kelly’s bloody body in the floor. All of a sudden, he heard someone whistling and it wasn’t coming from the kitchen. Ezekiel emerged from the hallway with his suit jacket over his shoulder. His bow tie was gone and the first two buttons were open on his shirt. “Good morning, cuz.” “Morning,” Cameron said as he watched him put his jacket over a chair and sit. “I take it you had a pleasurable evening last night. You’re still in your tux.” “It was most pleasurable.” “How much pleasure are we talking about here?” Ezekiel chuckled. “A gentleman never tells.” Cameron smiled at him. “And do you – as a gentleman have nothing to tell as well?” “I wish but no.”

The next day . . . Catherine and Cameron were chatting. Court was about to begin in a few minutes. The room was filled with electricity. After all, it was the first day the defense was presenting their case. “Are you ready?” Catherine asked. “As I’m ever going to be,” Cameron answered. “Like I said yesterday, we’re going to come out pretty strong today,” Catherine said.They had to. Ben did too good of a job presenting the state’s case. He proved motive which was Cameron suspecting Kelly was cheating on him and he found out and got furious, plus if he divorced her it would cost him millions because he didn’t have a prenup, and he was beginning to think her unborn child wasn’t his.Unfortunate circumstance number two, Cameron didn’t have a solid alibi. Unfortunately, there was a good hour Cameron couldn’t really account for. On that fateful night, Cameron and Kelly had a fight. Their worse one yet to Cameron’s admission. He ha
