“How is it that my world has changed, so drastically, again?” It was barely above a whisper, but I could hear the heartache.
We pulled up to the police station earlier than expected. We came straight from the airport because she wanted to get this over with. As we were exiting the car, Travis was coming down the stairs.
“Brady!” She jumped out of the car, and into his arms. Fuck, if I didn’t want to pop him in the mouth.
“Samantha, sweetheart, I am sorry about your parents.” He hugged her tight to him and I wanted to out his ass. He pulled her away to wipe her tears. Walking up to them, I pulled her to side, wrapped my arm around her waist and held her tightly. With other men around, it’s like I forgot that I spent a whole day buried deep in her. We delayed our trip back because she was too busy riding my cock by the pool. We never did get her swimsuit.
“O’Connell.”
“Williams”
“Are you two going to fight?”
“Not yet,” Travis said.
“Nope, I will wait until you are tied to me, before I kick his ass.”
“You wish.” Muttered Travis as the sheriff came out to greet us.
“Miss Lake…Mr. O’Connell. I am glad you could make it. Miss Lake I am sorry about your loss.”
“Thank you.” There was no sincerity in her words, but they knew that she had issues with her parents.
“Yes Sheriff, we are here for the interview.”
“That’s good. Travis, please join us as well.” I watched as my girl looked confused and looked around for someone else standing by us, but there was no one. I knew this secret could blow up in my face. I promised not to lie, or keep secrets, but I had been keeping this one since the first night after we met. She was not going to be happy.
“Come on baby, the sooner we finish, the sooner we can go home.” I pulled her back against me half hard rod and quietly whispered, “I want to go home and plant my seed in you, so you will have to marry me.”
My sassy woman made my day by waving her ring and with a sweet whisper, “I don’t have to marry you; I want to marry you.” I spanked her ass, she was asking for it hard.
“It’s a done deal, babe.”
We were escorted into the interrogation room for questioning. They wasted no time, with small talk, and just got straight to the point.
“Miss Lake, where were you on June tenth?”
“I was on vacation in Greece with Mr. O’Connell.”
“Do you know anyone who would want your parents dead?”
“I don’t know. There could be a lot of people, or only a few. Until little about three weeks ago, I hadn’t spoken to my parents in over a year.”
“Why is that?” I knew that they knew everything, Travis worked with them, why were they fucking with her.
“Why is that relevant?” I was outraged that she would have to bring up such a sensitive subject; which I had learned had been why she was so upset when I told her they died. They hadn’t loved her as they should have and now she was in the middle of a tug of war for her.
“Because they tried to sell me off like cattle to a man for marriage.”
“Was it the only time they tried to do this?”
“I don’t know, but my mother did set up a date with Mr. Moreno.”
“Yes we know that.” She rolled her eyes at them, good for her, they were annoying her for no reason.
“We have a long list of suspects. When you ran away that was not their first time. They had offered you up to the highest bidder. I am so sorry.”
“Listen gentlemen, I think that is enough.” I tried to stand and take her from the room, but she shook her head no. She didn’t need to know that she had been completely betrayed by them for years.
“Tell me all.” Said the stubborn woman.
“It started about four years ago. Your parents had gotten into a world of financial trouble with some unsavory people and you were the only thing they had to barter with.”
“But we had priceless things, we already moved into the mansion by then.”
“Yes, they needed to fund their extravagant lifestyle and you were their meal ticket.” It was clear that she had realized that their possessions were more important to them, than she had been.
The district attorney decided to take over. “By the time you had run away they had owed more than five million dollars, to all sorts of people, in all different countries. When one of our informants gave us the tip we sent in, Federal Agent, Travis Williams to go undercover for your protection.”
