arms for a second, keeping me suspended until you
reached me.”
He nodded. “Maybe we’ll be able to do something for them
someday. Find out what really happened and let them rest in peace at last.”
Epilogue
One week later
The pounding at the door finally dragged Cinthya from bed
for the second time that morning, and she stumbled down the hallway as she ran
a hand through her tangled hair. Rick had left a couple of hours earlier after
a rather satisfying start to the day, and she hadn’t missed the opportunity to
snatch some extra sleep. She couldn’t figure out who’d be at the door on a
Sunday morning.
“Yes? What do you want?” she mumbled once she’d pulled the
door open and was gazing at two men, one of them carrying a large box. The
sight of the strangers sparked fear, and she was pushing the door shut again
when one of them spoke and halted her action.
“Rick told us to drop this stuff off,” the one with the box
said. “You’re supposed to pay us.”
She had a vague recollection of Rick telling her something
about an envelope on the desk and she left them to go in search of the thing.
She found it and was back a minute later.
“Are you Eric Damon?” she asked, reading the name on the
envelope.
“Yeah, and I think this is yours,” Eric replied, handing
over the box.
Cinthya closed the door after them, locked it again, and
went as far as the dining room with the box before she decided to look inside.
Her face turned scarlet when she reached in it and picked up the handcuffs
sitting on top of the red silk sheets and black velvet from the hotel the
previous week. Rick’s clean-up crew—what the hell had they thought of this
stuff?
“I’ll kill him,” she fumed, feeling her face grow even
warmer when she realized the two men had probably been responsible for setting
up the night as well. Her hands clutched at the handcuffs, then an idea began
to form. A slow smile spread across her face, and she laughed with delighted
wickedness as she began to plot her revenge.
About Denysé Bridger
Canadian born and bred, and a lifelong dreamer, I began
writing at an early age and can’t recall a time when I wasn’t creating in some
artistic form. My life has had several ongoing love affairs that shape much of
what I write—the American West, Victorian England, cowboys, pirates, Greek Gods
and Ancient Egypt. The other endless love affair in my life is Italia and all
its magic, beauty and dazzling culture. That passion spills into all aspects of
my life.
