CHAPTER SEVEN

REBECCA POURED A mug of coffee and sat at the large table in the breakfast nook off the kitchen. Her father’s house. He’d left it to her after his death, and while she’d redecorated some, the house still held much of her father’s presence, like the old beat-up recliner that must have been over thirty years old. The brown leather was tattered, in need of repair, and in no way matched the gray furniture she’d bought, nor the yellow accents that brightened up the TV room. But she couldn’t part with it. Nor could she move the reading glasses that he always seemed to fall asleep wearing while he watched the game or read the paper. They were still in their usual position on the end table near the right arm of the chair, easily within his reach.

Her father’s absence caused an ache in her chest, and she knew that if he was still alive, he would know exactly how to deal with Collins/Fischer and the takeover bid. But he was gone. It was up to her, and she knew that she would be successful. It was her only option.

If only she could forget about her attraction to Brett and focus on the task at hand. She shook her head, reached for her coffee again and opened her laptop. She turned the computer on, and she was immediately greeted by her financial management program. She clicked over into the RMD page. Her original ownership in the company had grown in the past few days. She had finally dipped into the trust fund that she hadn’t touched since she was twenty-one and started contacting shareholders on behalf of the secret holdings company that her father had created for her.

In order to keep Daniels International from the clutch of Brett’s fingers and from falling under the umbrella of The Brotherhood, Rebecca had decided to use her own money to buy up shares in her own company. But she had to do it without Brett’s knowing it was her. If he didn’t know her plans, then he couldn’t stop her. And it was working. She’d made a gain on shares of Daniels International, offering above Brett’s asking price to people willing to sell them. Collins/Fischer still owned more than she did, but she’d managed to stall their progress by also offering a higher return on dividends in exchange. That would also cost her a pile of money, and she knew that her money manager probably wouldn’t approve. But it was something she had to do to save the family business.

With two hands, she gripped the coffee mug and felt warmed by the heat of the sun pouring in through the huge glass panels that looked out onto the pool deck. With a wistful smile, she thought of Saturday mornings as a kid. When she’d wake up, and her father would already be at the table, reading the newspaper, but when he saw her, he would put it down and they would catch each other up on their lives.
