CHAPTER SIX

‘What are you doing here?' Kerry asked before she could think better of it,

for Rochelle 's appearance at the castle had left her reeling with shock.

‘That's none of your business. I travelled with Cos tanza and she tells me

that you're now working here in adomestic capacity.' Having treated Kerry

to

a

scorn

fully

amused

appraisal,

Rochelle

smiled

with

satisfaction.’Luciano's beingso tough with you and I can't tell you what a

turnon that is for me. I wouldn't place too much hope on the Cinderella story

coming true at Billybawn either…no way will I ever play an ugly sister!

Mortified colour burning over her cheekbones, Kerry wished and not for the

first time that she could match her stepsister's quick, annihilating tongue.

Furthermore much as Kerry would have liked to note that Rochelle 's beauty

had faded since their last meeting five years ear lier, Rochelle defied the

belief that too much drink, too many late nights and too great a fondness

for men left their punishing mark on a woman's looks. Rochelle rejoiced in

creamy skin, a mane of naturally blonde hair and a fantastic figure, enhanced

by a very short leather skirt and a clingy white gypsy top.

‘Neither am I in search of some mythical prince, Kerry murmured tightly,

her heart sinking as she found herself making the familiar demeaning

comparision between her stepsister's attractions and her own. Red

corkscrew curls and ordinary features could not compete with glorious

golden hair and classic beauty. Nor could her own small, very slim body hold a

candle to Rochelle 's sexy curves and long, shapely legs.

‘Oh, you definitelywere five years back,' her stepsister sneered.’But today I

genuinely feel sorry for you.' Kerry raised a brow.’And why would that be?'

Well, you've missed the boat once again with Luciano… why else would he be

flying me in on his private jet? You're such a loser, Kerry ,' Rochelle

mocked. You've had a clear field with him for more than a week and I bet

you did nothing but whine at him.'

‘I'm not going to listen to this stuff.' Kerry turned on her heel.

‘It's so sad that you're about to lose all hope of ever regaining the family

castle as well…'

Kerry hesitated and then spun back.’What are you talking about?'

‘According to Costanza, Luciano has just received an offer to name his price

tosell Ballybawn and make a massive profit,' Rochelle delivered with smug

superiority.’Now, you tell me, would Luciano turn down a chance like that?'

The revelation that Luciano might be considering some very tempting offer

to sell her grandparents' home to strangers made Kerry 's slight figure

tense in rigid rejection.’I believe that hewould turn it down,' she

contended.’If he wants to sell, why would he be having all this work done to

the castle?'

Rochelle widened derisive green eyes in apparent wonderment.’Oh,

dear…oh, dear…you just don't get it even now, do you? Luciano's out to

takeeverything that you value away from you. I saw his desire for revenge

weeks ago…where have you been? On a different planet?'

In receipt of that chilling assurance from her worst enemy, Kerry lost every

scrap of colour. If she was honest with herself, that same fear had occurred

to her the instant she laid eyes on her gorgeous stepsister:
