NINE

Anger flared through Wesley hotter than he’d ever experienced before. He would not allow this to happen. Even if it meant coming out of hiding and declaring he was alive. If that happened, he and Colt would have to figure out a different way to find the evidence needed to put Martin away.

His heart squeezed with emotion as helplessness flowed through him like an angry river. He could not let her go!

“I won’t let this happen,” he said with a tight voice.

“What can you do to stop it? It’s too soon to come out of hiding.”

She made sense, and yet, he had to do something. The tightness in her voice wrenched his heart.

“Wesley, nothing will happen immediately with Martin and his friends. Even if one of them offers marriage, it’s still going to take a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, we shall keep searching for evidence. I’m confident we’ll find something soon.”

“Oh, Marcella,” he whispered. Mixed emotions grew inside of him. Helplessness washed over him, yet at the same time, he wanted to protect her. She was innocent, and she had nobody else that could help her.

“Marcella,” Martin called out to her, motioning his hand. “Come inside. We have visitors.”

Martin’s irritated voice made the hackles rise on Wesley’s back. He wanted to strangle his cousin right here and now. If only he had the faith his blossom had. But Marcella was correct in assuming nothing would happen immediately. They still had time, and if time slipped away and they couldn’t find any proof, then and only then would Wesley come out of hiding.

She wiped at her eyes. He couldn’t see, but her voice let him know she was crying.

“I must go before he comes searching for me.” She squared her shoulders.

“I know, but remember, stay by the windows.”

“I will.” She looked at him. “I’ll return tonight after dinner to let you know what has happened.”

“Please be careful,” he said. “Remember, I’ll be watching you.”

Nodding, she turned and walked away from him, and carrying the little girl on her hips, Marcella moved toward Martin and the other men. Wesley slid his hand to his revolver resting in his holster. If his cousin allowed his friends to lay one hand on her, Wesley would certainly lose control and those men would soon believe they were in hell.
