Anna's jaw was locked tightly. She hadn't planned on being this sour, yet here she was. And she was indeed under the impression that she had those previous emotions under control. She pushed her demons away and offered the desk clerk a pleasant smile.

After a few minutes had passed, she joined Jerome in waiting nearby while he inserted a room key into a door handle. The atmosphere was charged with awareness, which defied the iciness of his demeanor. They were both aware that they might have different opinions regarding the legal system, but there was one subject on which they were both fully in agreement: sexual activity. Something that was going to be very difficult to ignore in their studio apartment with one bed.

When Jerome pushed open the door to the hotel room, he was as conscious of Anna's proximity as he was of the next breath he would take. Actually more conscious of things. The act of breathing occurred automatically. Every moment that he was in close proximity to Anna, he y

  • Deeply in the game   Chapter 60

    Three days later In the courtroom, Anna was standing. As soon as she learned that Pedro had been found guilty on all charges, she felt nothing but joy and happiness. The time spent deliberating had only been for a total of four hours. Anna wanted to celebrate this victory on so many fronts and on so many levels that she wanted to dance. The next person in line would be Jack, but her supervisor was taking care of that one.As soon as she was able to escape the pandemonium that ensued when the court was adjourned, her eyes immediately found Jerome's, and she and he exchanged a wordless glance of happiness with one other. It was a done deal. Never again would Pedro inflict pain on another person.When it came to Randy, the FBI had located him with the help of a confidential source and had carried out the arrest flawlessly.On the steps leading up to the courtroom, there was a group of reporters with flashing cameras waiting for them, and Anna made a brief remark. It was over much too qu

    It was then that she tore the bracelet off of her arm. "I don't require the bracelet at this time. I can no longer avoid dealing with the past. I'm done letting it define me. I'm resigning from my job. I'm going to begin from scratch. It's time for me to start over. And I want to accomplish it alongside you.His expression suddenly changed to one of surprise. A glimmer of optimism. After that, it was gone, and the chill returned. "Until such time as I do something that causes you to have doubts about yourself or possibly my motives. Something that has you seeing myself as a negative influence despite the fact that I am not." “No.” How was it possible for her to communicate with him? At this point, it would be pointless to declare her love because no one would listen. He was under the impression that she did not have a favorable opinion of him and that she did not trust him on some level. She recalled a chat the two of them had back in Houston; therefore, she was aware of what steps t

    He gave her one of those smiles as he passed her by. "It's great to have you back, Anna." The phrases carried an undercurrent of flirtatious intent, which he seemed incapable of avoiding when speaking to a woman.She did not extend an invitation for him to have a seat. She addressed her question to him in a chilly manner, saying, "What can I do for you, Frank?" The intention behind her icy demeanor was to drive him away. He never stopped regarding her as his property, and he made an effort to stake his claim to her at every opportunity that presented itself. Her greatest protection was to maintain some distance between them.Frank's eyes drifted over her shoulder to the table where the two agents were playing cards, and then they settled there. Jerome stood there, a fleeting expression of unease appearing on his face; most people wouldn't notice, but she knew Frank better than she wanted to. She smiled to herself privately, relishing the look of bewilderment on his face.Frank switch

    "No," he responded. "That is not going to happen. You are not being used by anyone as a bait. I was the one who got you into this mess, and I'll be the one to get you out of it.They were staring at one another, her lips were apart, and it seemed as though the world was somehow pulling them apart, despite the fact that just a few days earlier it had brought them together.In the end, she admitted, "I got myself into this by taking on this case." "I'll find a way to get out of this."She avoided him, and this time he turned around to watch her depart after she had already left the room. "Anna," he called out to her as she moved toward the entrance to the room. When she looked back over her shoulder, her gaze traveled to his with a questioning expression on her face.Jerome declared, "This is not going to end here."The atmosphere became tense as the seconds ticked by until she turned and walked out of the room, the door closing behind her.Jerome made himself comfortable on the mattres

    She took a deep breath and realized that her feelings were, at best, erratic, and that this was not entirely due to the fact that she was dating Jerome. The fact that her father was there in the courtroom that day caused her to experience mental confusion. He'd been sitting there with an accusatory expression on his face the whole time. But no matter how flawed he would want to find her performance, he wouldn't be able to, and the only reason he wanted to find it problematic was because she was performing work that he didn't approve of. She was at the pinnacle of her abilities and giving her absolute best performance. She wanted Pedro to be locked up, and she was willing to do whatever it took to make that happen. Her one and only regret was that she couldn't genuinely share the improvement with Jerome, because for the sake of appearances, they were required to pretend as though they were strangers. However, they had already accomplished too much to let an affair ruin their credi

    "This house has a total of three bedrooms. I sat you on the seat that is to the left of the door. It's also prettier and more spacious. The papers you need to review were sent to you by your boss. They are on the dresser, where you can find them."Okay," she said. “Thanks.”Phil continued, "We will want you to be in a controlled setting as much as possible, so only your immediate family and those associated to the case will be allowed to visit on a limited basis." I need a list of everyone who has a chance of being let in so that we may conduct background checks on them. They are not permitted entry if their name does not appear on that list. You'll always have three agents at your disposal, including Agent Sandro and the other two." His attention briefly shifted to Jerome. "After everything that went down with Jack, I don't blame him for being wary of everyone," she said. After that, he had a direct conversation with Jerome. We placed him under custody late last night. He has be
