Sunlight slanted through the big plate glass window where the man stood looking down on the grassy area below. As he watched the white Mercedes pull out of the parking lot, his jaw clenched and his hands balled tightly into fists. Hatred even stronger than he felt for Mose Egan rushed through him.
Kade Logan. In the flesh. Until today they had never met. But for years, just the mention of Logan’s name was enough to send him into a blinding fury.
His gaze tracked the Mercedes as it drove off down the street. He didn’t regret the trouble he had caused Kade Logan or the arrogant, demanding, overbearing man whose power dominated his life.
He had no regrets. The only decision he had to make now was what to do next.
A hard smile curved his lips as he thought of Logan’s latest conquest. Ellie Bowman. Private investigator. That was a laugh. No man could mistake the sexual heat that simmered between them. The woman belonged to Logan. Which made her fair game for him.
He just needed to figure out how to proceed. Planning was everything and he was extremely good at it. There was no reason to rush things. Anticipation was part of the thrill.
And while he was at it, maybe he could find a way to make more trouble for the controlling old man in charge of the company—the billion dollar corporation he deserved to control.
Maybe he could even find a way to make him dead.
CHAPTER THIRTY
CHAPTER THIRTY
AFTER CHECKING OUT OF THE HOTEL, KADE DROVE THE MERCEDES back toward Coffee Springs. The Keller investigation seemed to have stalled, but there was no way to know for sure if the trouble was over. Though Wyatt hadn’t reported any new problems at the ranch, Frank Keller and Earl Dunstan had both been murdered, and whoever had killed them was still on the loose.
Hoping Sheriff Fischer would come up with something new, Kade’s mind returned to the reason he’d gone to Denver in the first place.
He’d hired Ellie to find Heather’s killer. Kade itched to stop in Vail and talk to the Springers, friends of Barbara Meeks, see if there was any connection between Barbara and Heather. But the urge was equally strong to get back to the ranch.
“It’s only an hour’s drive from the Diamond Bar to Vail,” he said. “I’d rather go home, makes sure everything’s okay. We can go to Vail tomorrow.”
Ellie nodded. “That’s probably better. Gives me a chance to phone ahead, find a time when the Springers are available.”
