Married To The Devil's Heir Chapter 60: The Line He Drew
Vincent stepped out of the car before it had fully stopped, coat still open, two of his men flanking him with hands already near their jackets."Stand down," Kade said, loud enough to carry across the gravel. "All of you. Now."Nobody moved. They were looking at Vincent, not at him, and that told Kade exactly how much authority he actually held over men who'd worked for his father for twenty years."I said stand down." Kade walked toward them, putting himself squarely between Silas and the approaching group, his own back exposed to a man with a drawn weapon because there was no version of this that worked with him staying safely out of the middle. "This is my meeting. Not his.""Your meeting is with a man who kidnapped your wife's brother." Vincent's voice cut across the cemetery, controlled even now, even furious. "I'm not standing on a road while my son negotiates with a criminal alone.""You promised me you'd stay out of this.""I lied." Vincent said it without shame, like the ad
Married To The Devil's Heir Chapter 59: What He Owed Him
Silas was already at the grave when Kade arrived, hands in his coat pockets, no visible weapon, though Kade knew better than to read that as safety. "You came." Silas didn't turn around. "I half expected an empty gate and a very good excuse." "I said I'd come." Kade stopped six feet back, close enough to talk, far enough to move if he had to. "I don't waste words I don't intend to keep." "That's supposed to separate you from your father." "It does." Silas finally turned, and in the gray half light before sunrise he looked older than he had in the warehouse, tired in a way anger alone didn't explain. He glanced down at the headstone between them. TIMOTHY BOONE. Two dates too close together for the years they should have held. "Say it, then," Silas said. "You came all this way. Say his name." Kade looked at the stone instead of at Silas, because some part of this deserved to be said to Timothy and not just performed for his brother. "Timothy Boone took the fall for a shipment m
Married To The Devil's Heir Chapter 58: No More Money
Kade read the name twice before it made sense. The man who'd filed Cormac Ellis's death certificate was the same man Kade trusted with every secret he had left. Marcus. Not a stranger. Not a hidden operative. Marcus had filed Cormac's death certificate six years ago, his own signature sitting right there in the county records, clean and unremarkable. Nobody questions paperwork stamped with the right name attached. Kade called him before he'd finished reading it a third time. "It was a standing order," Marcus said, no hesitation, no defense in his voice at all. "Your father had a policy. Anyone who left the organization on bad terms eventually got scrubbed from the records, sometimes years after they were actually gone, whenever it came up on a review. Cormac's file got closed out six years ago. I filed the certificate, closed his employment record, scrubbed the address history. I didn't think about it again until tonight." "You didn't think to mention this when I told you h
Married To The Devil's Heir Chapter 57: A Name From the Roster
Vincent didn't look up from his newspaper when Kade walked in. "You could have called first." "I could have." Kade crossed the study, Ivy a step behind him, and set his phone on the desk between them, screen up, Cormac's old employment photo pulled from records Marcus had dug out before dawn. "Cormac Ellis." Vincent's eyes moved to the screen. His face didn't change. He hadn't asked what this was about yet, hadn't needed to, which told Kade more than any reaction would have. "I haven't heard that name in years." "Funny. He's been dead for six of them, and someone's using his scar to pay off my security staff." Kade didn't sit. "You remember the scar." "I remember a man who worked for this family for fifteen years and then left." Vincent folded the newspaper, unhurried, precise. "People leave, Kade. It happens without conspiracy attached to it most of the time." "He didn't leave. He vanished. Same summer half the household staff turned over." Kade planted both hands on the des
Married To The Devil's Heir Chapter 56: What Dana Knows
"Dana's ready," Marcus said, already at the study door with a tablet in hand. "She's asked for you twice. Says she remembered something." Ivy was moving before Kade had fully turned around. "I'm coming." "I know." Kade didn't argue this time. Some of the tension between them from the night before eased when he said it, though neither of them mentioned the fight out loud. Dana sat where she'd sat the night before, hands folded now instead of shaking, though her eyes still tracked every exit in the room like she was counting them. Kade took the chair across from her. Ivy stood at the window, close enough to watch her face, far enough to let Kade lead. "You said you remembered something." "I've been sitting here all night trying to picture him again. The man who paid me." Dana's fingers tightened together. "I gave you a description last night. Older, gray at the temples. That's not enough, is it." "No." "I know it's not enough." Her voice cracked slightly. "I keep trying and
Married To The Devil's Heir Chapter 55: The Name on the Badge
Marcus brought her in twenty minutes later, one hand loose around her arm, not gripping, just present enough to make clear she wasn't leaving on her own terms. "Dana Marsh," Marcus said. "Two years on the overnight security desk. Badge logs put her outside your study four separate times this month, all after midnight, all when you and Mrs. Cross were out." Kade didn't stand up from the desk. He wanted her looking down at him, not the other way around. "Sit." Dana sat. Her hands were steady, which told him more than if they'd been shaking. "Thirty seconds," Kade said. "Why were you outside a locked room in my private residence four times this month." "I was checking the hallway camera feed. It's part of my rotation." "The hallway camera doesn't require your hand on my study door." Ivy stood by the window, arms crossed, watching Dana's face closely. Three months in this family had taught her exactly what a lie looked like on someone trying hard not to tell one. Dana's eyes kept
