Chapter Fourteen
The work was never done; Maria joined in on the cleaning frenzy and surprisingly so did a couple the hands that Cody could spare, even Grant and Trace got in on the action. While the girls were sweeping and mopping the floors in the two bedrooms, she noted the outdated appliances in the kitchen and had the men carry them out.
She’d caught Deanna as she was leaving the little house and asked if she could help on another emergency. Deanna could assemble a crew faster than anyone she knew. She sent two of her men to Home Depot, to get a new washer and dryer, fridge, stove and dishwasher.
She said she’d work with the brother and sister for their taste on the rest of the rooms just as Harold her grandfather’s friend who owned the furniture outlet arrived with the things, she’d asked him for. Deanna herself showed the men where to place everything.
Angel was beyond tired, is this what taking time off did to a person you did everything you didn’t have time for on yo

Back at the house Angel walked through her closet trying to decide what to wear. She was going to go with what she would have worn to a club back in Cali. True she had some nice club dresses in her wardrobe now, but they weren’t conducive for dancing. She pulled on some cargo pants that were black and fit her body perfectly; they rode low on her hips. She then pulled on a shirt she had bought that had slits in the shoulders and was cut in various places strategically over her black tank top, she put on her shoes and pulled her hair up into a ponytail her curls prominently on display. While her outfit look could be considered not what the upper crust were looking for, they were all high-end brand clothing, that she’d thrown together to complete the look. Her whole midriff was visible and showed off her perfect abs to perfection. She put in her earrings and added a choker necklace and her cuff bracelets, she stuck her credit card and ID into her back pocket though she seriously doubte

It took two days, two grueling days before they finally got to where her brothers were in Georgia. The first day had been spent wrapping up business for them all. Damon’s cousin had been postponed until Angel was back in town and Cody told her he could handle everything here at the ranch, Kyle and Ellen were handling things at the center. She had stayed in the observation room while her grandparents and uncles were introduced to the boys. Hunter stood beside her, trying to find any quality that his daughter shared with these two boys. They were belligerent and unruly; they made snide comments that you could tell hurt Marigold a lot. Angel nodded at Hunter and walked past him into the room. She looked at her grandparents and said, “That’s enough, take the counselor with you, and give me a minute with them.” When the door was closed Jackson glared at her, he was the more dominant twin and said, “What are we supposed to be scared of you lady.” Angel replied honestly “I

That said she walked back into the observation room. She turned to her grandparents and saw her grandmother had tears streaming down her face she simply said, “They are ready for you now.” When they walked out the room, she pulled on her jacket and stood leaning against the window watching closely. The Counselor looked at Angel in awe and said “You knew just how to get to those boys. I can’t imagine the things you’ve been through, but you’re truly not damaged by it, you’ve grown from it.” Angel almost smiled at that assumption she was fooling the world then if they believed she wasn’t scarred by it all. She had her scars she just kept them hidden. Honestly, she didn’t know if she could reach out for a relationship with a man ever. Not because of the past so much as it was giving that level of trust. How did you give up that control and allow that much loss of control in? She just knew she was nowhere near ready for that right now. She knew her looks drew attention to

When they arrived at the house the men unloaded the boys’ things. Deanna met her at the front door and said “Girl, you’re going to owe me a mint for all these last, minute jobs.” The boys followed her upstairs and she showed them each their rooms. Deanna had worked her butt off to get the rooms done in time, each room had its own bathroom. They had a queen size bed, a desk, chairs, dressers, and a huge walk-in closet. Kathryn and Maria were waiting and began to help put everything away. Deanna had apparently been busy since Angel had been gone, she had taken pictures of the thoroughbreds here on the ranch and then she’d framed them they were some amazing pictures. They hung on each one of their walls. Angel watched going from room to room as each boy was settled in and their things unpacked and put away. The TV stands that Harold had brought each boy were a work of art and Brandon helped the boys, setup their internet connections and TV’s. She said evenly so both boys could he

They genuinely wanted to do things the way she said. She walked with them down to the barn she knew she needed to take time to get to know them on a personal level. She couldn’t just support them financially and call it a day. They would need her emotional support as well. She needed to take time to be with them. She decided they’d do their riding lessons together, hers were to begin today after she saw Damon’s cousin do practice runs. She and Cody had decided they’d let her run Heartbreaker, simply because he was retired didn’t mean he couldn’t get enough speed up for them to judge her riding ability. She had sent the twins off to the barn’s office to prepare for their days work when she saw her grandfather’s car pull up. She wondered what Jamison was doing here. When he climbed from the car, she noted her other grandfather got from the car as well. They had a serious expression on their faces. She asked, “What brought about this visit?” Her grandpa Jamison said “I just hea

For Grant this was a nightmare situation, but he could take his men and if they split up two men with each person it could be doable. He’d call Justin and see what his opinion on the mall was. If he needed more men Justin would supply them. Angel looked at Damon and asked, “Did you get in touch with the Dean at the school?” Damon nodded and said, “He’ll meet with you after the Christmas Holidays are over with.” Angel nodded then turned to Kaleb and said, “Go get Louisa; I’m sure she’ll want to get her brother something for Christmas and the girl needs some things for herself.” When she entered her house, she saw her grandmother, Maria, and Katherine unpacking the gift wrapped, items she’d bought for Christmas, they were placing them under the tree. She realized there was quite a bit under the tree already. She asked to speak with her grandmother and brought her into the office and asked her “I want to give Christmas bonus to the employees, but not sure what would be

Angel made her way back down to the track where she found Jada, Cody and Carlos working out some of their horses. When Cody saw her coming, he walked over and said “I think we have a decent shot at some races this season. Our stock is some of the best horses. Speaking of we got an interesting call earlier, seems Damon’s grandfather has heard about our stock, and that we hired Jada he wants to come tour the stables. Of course, he wants to discuss Gambler and Heartbreaker’s stud service while here.” She nodded at Cody and said, “You’re going to be ready to pull your hair out when I tell you what I found out a few minutes ago.” At his arched brow she filled him in on the Kingsley Ranch and the horses that were in the stables there belonging to them. She told him point blank “I’ll be heading over there with Grant and his men shortly and I would like you and Jada to accompany me, bring the men and trailers.” We are going to inspect the horses. I have called the vet he is going to

After the dinner she talked to her Aunt Lillian her father’s next to the eldest sister and asked her what her suggestion for Kingsley’s business would be. Lillian had informed her she’d do comprehensive research into the company to see what its viability was. Then she would bring the report to her niece. She felt bad because Lillian was already handling most of the business interest that Stacia previously had for Angel and her brothers. But if anyone was more than up for the job it would be Lillian. “She was the quintessential business-woman.” Lillian was what most would refer to as a shark. No one dared tread the same waters as Lillian McDaniel’s. They had just finished their dinner when her cellular rang, it was Hannah she had the information on who Kingsley had sold the horses. The Sheriff’s had gone to the ranch where they had been sold to and it was a giant debacle. Kingsley had passed on the papers of ownership to them which were forged papers. The Sheriff informed the
