Dominated By Him Chapter 143
Sophia POVI eventually left the fishing village and came to Denniston, New Hampshire.The diner opened at six.I was there by five-forty-five, turning on the coffee machine and wiping down the counter the way Ruth had shown me on my first day — left to right, overlap on the seams, don't skip the edges. Ruth ran the place the way Edith had run the clinic, which was to say she ran it herself and expected everyone around her to keep up without being told twice.She'd hired me after a three-minute conversation in the parking lot. I'd said I needed work and I was good with people and I didn't need much. She'd said the pay was eleven dollars an hour and I'd start tomorrow. That was it.My name here was Anna. Anna Webb. I'd picked it because it was plain enough to disappear into and short enough that I wouldn't pause when someone called it.Three weeks in, I almost believed it.The men came in at eleven-fifteen.There were two of them. I noticed them before the bell above the door had finis

Clark POVMy father called at eight in the morning, which meant he hadn't slept."You're moving too slowly," he said. No greeting. He'd never bothered with those."I'm moving carefully," I said. "There's a difference.""There's also a difference between careful and paralyzed." His voice had that particular edge — the one he used when he'd been awake since four doing calculations and had decided the rest of us were moving at the wrong speed. "Vito is not sitting still. Our contact at the estate says he's been in the study every day until past midnight. Files. Financial records. Something has him working.""He's always working.""Not like this."I set down my coffee. "What exactly has Maria said?""That he's asking fewer questions out loud. That he's stopped briefing his people in the main study and started using the back office." A pause. "In my experience, men who stop talking out loud have either given up or made a decision. Vito has never given up in his life."I didn't say anything

Vito POVTony came in without knocking, which meant the news wasn't good.He set a folder on the desk and stood back. That was his way — put the information down, give me a second before I had to respond to it."Dr. Rosenberg," he said. "He was in Maine. A fishing village called Crayne's Point, about three hours north of Boston. Our contact picked up his vehicle registration at a gas station on Route 1."I turned back to the window.The east garden was laid out below me — the stone path, the boxwood hedges, the bench near the fountain. Maria was down there now, standing near the greenhouse door with her phone pressed to her ear, gesturing at one of the groundskeepers with the particular authority of someone who had decided that authority was hers to exercise. The groundskeeper was nodding. He shouldn't have been nodding."She's redirected the florist order again," Tony said, following my gaze. He didn't have to explain which she."I noticed.""She also asked Mrs. Benedetti to have you

David POVCrayne's Point, MaineI found the village on my third attempt.The first two were wrong — too big, too close to the highway, the kind of place that had a motel with a vacancy sign and a diner that served strangers without asking questions. Sophia wouldn't pick those. She would pick somewhere small enough that one more stranger stood out, but remote enough that no one cared to report it.I'd been running through her logic for three weeks. I knew how she thought. Crayne's Point had thirty-two residents and smelled like low tide. I pulled off at a gas station that also sold fishing licenses, and asked the man behind the counter if there was a clinic nearby.He pointed me down the main road.I drove past it twice before I decided to stop and wait.On the third day, she came out to clean the windows.I was parked across the road, far enough back that she wouldn't see me immediately. She was wearing a gray pullover and dark pants, the kind of clothes you'd buy at a general store

Sophia POVI switched hotels three times in four days.The first one was too close to the highway. Too many cars coming and going at odd hours, too many people who looked at a woman checking in alone and decided that was interesting. The second was better, but the desk clerk had a habit of asking questions that didn't match the price of the room. Where are you headed? Visiting family? I smiled through all of it and paid cash and left before sunrise.The third place wasn't a hotel at all.It was a cabin at the edge of a fishing village called Crayne's Point — thirty-two residents, one general store, one small clinic, and more lobster traps than people. The woman who rented it to me was eighty-something and moved like she had somewhere to be, which I respected."You're pregnant," she said when she saw me. Not a question."Yes."She looked at me for a moment. "You running from something, or toward something?"I thought about it. "I'm not sure yet."She nodded, like that was a reasonable

Sophia POVSomewhere in Vermont. Day four.The room cost forty-two dollars a night.I'd paid for two nights in cash at the front desk without making eye contact, and the man behind the counter had handed me a key on a plastic fob without looking up from his phone. The room was at the end of the ground floor, away from the parking lot, facing a stand of pine trees. I'd asked for that specifically. He hadn't asked why.The bed had a yellow quilt. The carpet was brown. There was a small bathroom with a showerhead that dripped and a mirror mounted too high on the wall. I didn't adjust it.I'd been here for four days.The first day I slept almost the entire time, which I knew was my body's way of settling a debt I'd been accumulating since the warehouse. I woke up once in the middle of the night with my heart hammering and my hands braced against the mattress, already halfway upright, listening for footsteps that weren't there. Then I lay back down and looked at the ceiling until my pulse
