Hidden in the Shadows のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

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

The trip to town took about twenty minutes, and it was two hours later before the vet came to tell them that the foal had a respiratory infection. He’d become weakened from trying to breath so hard. He said that the foals being born so early was a challenge for them. He was going to keep Gambler’s Tempest for a week to monitor him. When she reached the ranch, she was surprised to see Dean’s truck still there. She found him and Cody in the office with Jada, when they looked up, she said “He’s going to be okay it was a mild respiratory infection but being as he and Storm were born early it was harder on him. He is keeping him for a week to monitor him and said to keep a close eye on Storm.” Cody nodded and said, “We will have one-hour rotations so that someone is checking him hourly.” Angel nodded absently, but before she could say anything else her phone rang. After a brief conversation with Hannah and her Aunt Lillian she turned to Cody and said “I have to meet Hanna

Hannah had handled getting them passports and they would be leaving on the McDaniel’s private jet at five AM which meant getting up even earlier than she usually would have. So that meant an early night for her and her brothers. After she packed her things for the trip, she climbed into her bed exhausted it had been a long eventful day. When she woke up the next morning she showered and dressed quickly. She wouldn’t have time to get in a workout today. She got her bags and brought them all down to the Foyer; her brother’s bags were already waiting there. Grant drove them all to the airport; he wasn’t coming with them because her father wanted them to be as low key about who they were as possible because Angel needed the time away. She supposed she was going to have to get used to flying now, but to her it was still an odd concept. The flight took a long time, which allowed for them to nap on the jet ride. They had to stop to refuel so they had two layovers which allo

They had just wrapped up their meeting when Melanie came in, she would have been meeting the auctioneer workers at eight that morning.  She said they had promptly taken all the antiques loaded them into their trucks and been gone within forty-five minutes. She had been very, surprised by their speed. She caught Angel up on all ranch news. She told her that they had received some irate calls from a couple people because of them not being chosen to allow their mares to be covered by Heartbreaker or Gambler. She sighed heavily and said, “Send them our apologies and tell them to try again next year.” She then filled Melanie in on what was going on with Seth Newton. Melanie said she would see what she could dig up on Seth and Elizabeth. Both meetings concluded she went to hunt down both of her Aunts for the files on the Kingsley’s and her mother’s business interest. She went to Ellen first, to her surprise Ellen was more than happy to hand it over, and she said she wanted to

Hank turned to Zachary and said, “Zach have you ever heard of anything like that before?” he shook his head and said “I’ve never known anyone to hunt someone down just to give them a chance at their dream. I’ve never met anyone like Angel McDaniel’s.” His secretary behind him said “There isn’t many women like that in the world I guarantee you. Most would be spending all that money she has on tropical vacations and luxury items. I heard tell that she gave Dean Sterling money to get his ranch going again. And she put those horrible Kingsley’s out of business. If the tabloids can be believed she’s done a lot to help a lot of people. It said she took in her two brothers who are identical twins that she’d never known existed. She’s their guardian now, and their fifteen, imagine that. Nineteen years old and already raising two half grown boys, plus running a successful horse ranch, top that off with that center
