The next morning, Chase gazed at the sandstone and glass structure on the opposite side of Airport Road in Granite Falls. It was a boring building or perhaps it was just plain ugly. However, its proximity to the airport made it the perfect location for a global architecture company to set up shop. Once it was expanded to at least seven stories, instead of the current four, one would be able to enjoy panoramic river, lake, and mountain views. He wouldn’t even mind a view of Fonandt Wind Farm’s turbines at the base of the mountain range to remind him that it always paid to have friends in high places.

He couldn’t wait for the demolition to begin. It was going to be a very busy and interesting summer, Chase thought, swinging one leg over his motorcycle seat. He opened the storage compartment, pulled out a large white envelope, tucked it under his arm, and crossed the street.

Thoughts of his upcoming night with Desire set off a throbbing deep in his groin as he climbed the steps to the building. He hadn’t spoken to her since yesterday afternoon, but when Chad had come home last night carrying the ring he’d given Desire, Chase knew she’d officially broken it off with his little brother.

The fact that Chad had said nothing about Chase and Desire’s afternoon together meant that Desire hadn’t told him about them. She could have used their love as retaliation for Chad’s indiscretions, but she hadn’t. Desire was kindhearted and sensitive to others’ sorrows, even her enemies. She would suffer in silence before she took revenge on those who’d hurt her. It was one of the many reasons Chase loved her so much. The world would be a much more pleasant and tolerable place if there were more people like her. If he’d given her the explanations she needed yesterday, she would have talked him out of his revenge. And having his revenge was vitally important to Chase. He would never be able to live with himself if he allowed that bastard’s crimes to go unpunished.

“Hell has to be paid,” he vocalized the phrase that had driven him along all those years. It was finally judgment day.

The lobby was empty, except for a young brunette behind a circular receptionist desk, a yellow highlighter in one hand and a frown of concentration on her forehead as she stared into an open book on her desk. Chase felt a hint of guilt that the poor girl had been ordered to come in on her day off, just to greet him. She was a single mother of a two-year-old. She worked days and attended Evergreen’s Community College at nights as she worked on gaining her Associate’s Degree in Business Administration, he’d learned during his covert investigation of each and every employee of this company.

It was dedicated and hardworking employees like her that had caused Chase to change his revenge strategy. Too many innocents already paid for the guilty. He would not add to the injustice pool.
