Chapter 9

Lance sat in his hotel room, too tired to think about what had happened. He’d had it all worked out and knew that he’d eventually have the man eating out of his hands. He looked at his hand where he’d given himself notes and wondered at what point he’d lost control of the situation. He thought it had been when that other man kept edging closer to him, but was sure that was only part of it. Lance hadn’t even gotten to the part of his speech were he told Alistair that he was still in love with his wife and wanted her to come back. At least he didn’t think he had.

Pacing the small confines of the room, he tried to ignore how dirty his trousers were and the mud that caked his shoes. He knew that they had cost a great deal more than he’d ever paid for a pair of shoes. And now they were ruined. The filth would never come out of them. And why did the large man have to knock him into the puddle in the first place?

“He’s going to pay for that, too.” He kicked off the shoes and put them into the trash. There was no way he was ever going to put them on again. They would be a constant reminder of what had just happened. And he was no closer to getting her back than he had before.

He glared at his cell phone, knowing that even if he wanted to call his mother, there was no way to do it. The thing had been shut off last night right in the middle of a call to get a pizza delivered. And he was still pissed about that, too. It had ever shown up, and he’d had to walk to the convenience store five blocks away only to find out it was closed. He was sick to death of nothing going his way. When his phone rang, he nearly fell back from it.

“I could only pay the first past due amount and have to come up with the rest by the end of the week or it’s off for good. Have you managed to get anything done on your end?” His mother never said hello, he just realized, but launched into whatever she had called about before anyone else could speak. “Lance, are you listening to me? We have to get his cleared up before everything else comes down on our heads.”

“I went to speak to the people she’s staying with, and the man is a brute. He and his brothers told me that if I came near her, they’d hurt me.” He snorted, though he was sure that hurt was nothing compared to whatever they had planned for him. “I’m going to see if I can get to his house today and have a few words with my wife. She’s been fucking around with me long enough.”

“I think you should just kill her when you see her.” She paused. “Never mind.
