Chapter 19

Zoé

Zoé sat in the kitchen before her laptop, a golden bouquet by her side, fingers poised over the keyboard. A glass of water stood next to her. The sun shone through the window, making it hard to see the screen, so she angled it slightly. This is a stupid idea, she thought. The last time I spied on a lover did not go well. She brought her finger to her lips and nibbled on her nail. Then, she stroked the place on her arms that had been covered with bruises after her last spy foray.

Having been lied to so many times, the “need to know” was a persistent, nagging voice inside her. Plus, look what happened to my family when no one questioned my brother? Her handsome brother, Denis, had been fun. He’d been popular. Jace reminded her of Denis. Everyone wanted to be Denis, know Denis and love Denis. But not knowing what was inside Denis’s head had been her families’ biggest mistake, ever. So, aren’t I doing myself a favor by finding out more?

People do it all the time, she countered. It’s like spying, she protested. He’ll think you don’t trust him. She drummed her fingers on the table. I don’t. How can I, given my track record? Unwilling to listen to reason, she started typing. Jace Savage, Port Townsend, WA.

Her fingers shook as page after page after page of information came up in the Google results. She clicked on the top one. Local Man Wins Award in Prestigious Photo Contest. Port Townsend Tribune. She skimmed the article, completely impressed. Jace beamed out of a photo, looking sexy as hell, making her pulse race. He held up a gold and glass statue and a giant check for twenty thousand dollars. He looks so proud. Further down the page she eyed the winning image —a photo of a black jaguar drinking water from a waterfall filled pool, a gorgeous sunset lighting his glossy pelt. Wow, the guy’s talented. How’d he get so close to that cat?

Finished with the article, she clicked the back button. She eyed the next one, chewing on her lip —Savage Bust in Rural Washington. Her fingers hovered over the keyboards. Don’t do this, she reasoned. She massaged her temples. I need to know who I’m dealing with.

Stomach in knots, she left-clicked her mouse.

In a somewhat blurred image, Jace held his hand up to the camera, trying to shield his face, holding onto a very beautiful blonde with his other hand. Kate. Mouth dry, she read, Port Townsend resident, Jace Savage, age 28, arrested at the home of his girlfriend, Kate Bethlehem, age 25. In one of the largest Ecstasy seizures ever in Washington, 45 kilograms of the drug with a minimum street value of almost $2 million were found at a Port Angeles house Friday during a series of law enforcement raids, authorities said Tuesday. Her eyes continued to skim but nothing registered, her heart pounded so hard. I’m dating a criminal. I’m in love with a drug lord.
