Shocked again by Destiny, Wyatt frowned. Why hadn’t she told him? Stunned, annoyed. One after the other, the emotions battered Wyatt as he watched her. There was applause and Destiny walked closer to the crowd gathered to watch her while she still gazed at Wyatt.

She had rocked his world from the first moment he had spotted the red limo. So far, this was the biggest jolt of all and his annoyance transformed to a simmering anger.

She was a paradox to him—physically intimate with him, yet holding back this vital information about herself until she decided to tell the whole town. Why hadn’t she told him that she was a Calhoun, especially since she knew he’d been upset about her interviews because of the feud?

Instantly, he guessed she had waited for the biggest impact by announcing it during this interview. From the first second he should have realized she waited for the biggest public relations impact.

His anger eased only slightly because she still could have told him and let him know that she would announce it this afternoon.

He folded his arms and stared at her while he absorbed the news that he had been in bed with a Calhoun. Again, he recalled the first moment he had seen the red limo in his parking spot and her in his office. He had known she would cause trouble in his peaceful town and his quiet life. She had proven him right over and over and this was a crowning touch—except he suspected the worst was still to come.

He watched Destiny in the front of the ballroom, calm and professional as she continued. “I was never caught up in the feud because my mother wasn’t. I knew nothing about it until we moved to California when I was a teen and I was told by my grandmother, who has strong feelings about being a Calhoun,” she said. “My heritage gives me a personal interest in the feud now.”

She smiled at Lindsay. “I’m looking forward to meeting more of my Calhoun relatives.”

“Jake and I’ll be happy to introduce you,” Lindsay said, smiling in return.

Destiny stepped forward, closer to her audience. “Since we’ve heard from Lindsay Calhoun, I think in all fairness, we should give her neighbor a chance to speak because he’s in our audience—if he’s willing to come forward. Tony Milan?” She looked at the audience.

Wyatt groaned. For a moment he hoped Tony had left, but then he saw his brother walking up to the front of the room, turning to the audience and saying, “I’ll guarantee you, I’m speaking to this Calhoun. I have no quarrel with her,” he said as he took Destiny’s hand. “Welcome to Verity.”

Wyatt noticed that everyone applauded except Lindsay. Jake said something to his sister and she shook her head.

“Thank you,” Destiny said. “Sit and join us. Do you have anything to add to what Lindsay has told us?”

“She’s covered it all,” he said, still smiling as he pulled his chair a few inches away from Lindsay and sat.
