The therapy session didn’t seem to go well for Samantha. It was just an assessment, but every time she explained her situation to the therapist, her words sounded hollow and weak in her own ears.If she even had an answer, that is. Many times, the questions left her stymied and flustered. When confronted with them, she began to doubt she even knew who she was, or even what she liked.The therapist was kind. Samantha thought they could even be friends if they’d met somewhere, sometime else. She had an easy smile, and even though she was young, she wasn’t too young to make Samantha doubt her experience.They had a few similarities. Both of them were married. Enjoyed cooking, music, and art. She had a shocking amount of red hair and a smattering of freckles that even she thought made her look endearing.Their differences, though, were night and day. Alicia had a good husband who treated her like the absolute jewel she was. He supported her work. He had his own hobbies on the weekend that

Samantha came home Wednesday night after the dinner feeling optimistic and accomplished. She did this. On her own. Uncle Edward, while there, was just moral support and the key to opening the door between her and the new owners. He sat on the sidelines, watching and offering only small comments of advice when he felt they were necessary.By the end of the evening, she had a concrete outline for the May Mixer and needed to build a schedule and guest list. She felt thrilled at working again and realized she’d indeed missed the excitement and challenge it brought her, and the resulting satisfaction of when they were a success.She was late enough that she wasn’t surprised to see Richard had beaten her home. The light was on in his study, and she set down the flower arrangement she rescued in the entryway before moving to the kitchen. Richard came out of his study, acting strangely, but then she realized he was drunk. Not just tipsy, but full-blown inebriated. She let him talk her into on

With shaky hands, he poured a scotch from his bar, filling the glass too much, not caring that he splashed it all over the wood. He tilted it up and swallowed it down like water. He bent over coughing, then did it again.The alcohol put a buzz in his brain, but it didn’t still the pronounced beating of his heart. He didn’t know where to begin. He sat down in his chair and looked at his desk and the mess on the floor. He needed to clean it up, just in case Samantha tried to come in here when he was gone. He sniffed, liquid snot running down his nose from his coughing fit, and opened the bottom right drawer of his desk.Built into the drawer was a fireproof safe. The back half held a hanging folder for important documents, and the front half was open to hold a variety of shapes and items, and the whole thing was lined in black felt. One of those items was a loaded pistol and a small box of ammunition. He gathered all the documents and pictures he received, making very sure he found ever

Richard spent the rest of the week in the office. He touched base with a few of his clients, explaining some of the structural changes, reinforcing that he wanted them to hear it from him and not to be alarmed. Elevated Financials is still solid, and they had a great opportunity with a new investor to make some important updates, and he looked forward to continuing to provide them peace of mind and opportunities to increase their portfolio and plan for their retirement.He swiped his face with his hands. It had been three days of non-stop, the same phone calls and lines. Luckily, none of his clients bailed. He didn’t think they would. He made a few notes on his computer about the call, then moved the Prescott folder over from ‘WILL CALL’ to ‘COMPLETE’. His mouse hovered over the next folder on the list, the Priestleys. He remembered when he secured their contract. Mr. Priestley refused to do anything without the complete approval of his wife. It was one of the first times he’d enliste

Daniel had originally intended to make the dinner to interview an employee tonight, but he decided to wait around while everything was processed. He wanted to receive the key from the realtor as soon as possible so they could start moving in. He was leaving employee details to Lucas, at least until they started bringing in the wolves.He was glad the loft was basically furnished, including basic kitchen items. It was one less thing he had to worry about. He threw the realtor an extra thousand as a tip on her commission to ensure all they had to do was bring their personal items in. That meant finding a decorator this afternoon and filling out the place with linens, towels, and basic decor. He’d already spoken to Donna to set up utilities and billing.The loft was a lot bigger than he’d originally considered getting, but the advantage to that was that it ensured there were enough rooms to accommodate anybody who would be coming by. The downside to that was to make sure Stillman didn’t f

Thomas wasn’t the skinny kid others thought was an easy target anymore. He’d grown into a quiet, reserved man. Taming his wolf had never been the challenge for him, it had been for the others. He supposed he lived with a dual nature his entire life, just the beast within him manifested physically.The wolf enhanced his natural instincts, happy to hunt through piles of information or to make sure all the numbers lined up. And while Elevated’s numbers on paper lined up, he was frustrated that he was missing something. Something obvious.When he met Samantha, he thought he’d figured it out. Here she was, employed but not an employee. Connected to the company, yet not vital to its operations. A shadow job. It was the perfect place to slide in a family employee, and the fact that her funds weren't allocated like the rest was highly suspicious. His wolf was on the hunt, and he was determined to uncover the truth.Even though Samantha Barringer seemed to have no direct correlation to Merrick
