Meridio’s Daughter

She had known this woman all of a week, yet she knew she would trust her with her life.

“Of course I do.” Casey slid her hand within Tessa’s grasp and squeezed gently.

Tessa squeezed the smaller hand in return and as always, thanked whomever was responsible for the happiness she was experiencing. She sat in wonder at the optimistic woman. Tessa had never felt this kind of unconditional trust from a lover before, and it made her feel safe.

“Welcome to your second home.” Tessa stopped the car in front of a two-story wood and brick building that was nestled back among a grove of olive trees, partially hidden from the road.

Tessa opened the passenger side door, took Casey’s hand, and led her to a side gate that was securely held shut. Tessa punched a series of numbers into the computer console on the wall, and the iron security gate clicked open. Tessa still held Casey’s hand and they walked to a back patio that surrounded a beautiful swimming pool with a cascading natural rock fountain at one end.

“Who lives here?” Casey asked, turning around and taking in the beauty of the place.

“I do...and you, I mean, if you’d like.” Tessa added the last part softly. She couldn’t believe her own ears. Here she was, determined not to add any complications to the already confused puzzle of her life, and she just asked the most dangerous piece in this chess game to move in with her.

“You own this?” Casey seemed confused.

“I didn’t always work for your father. I was a successful businesswoman before I became the Meridio Karê. And even I need a place more private than the guesthouse. Look around, see the cliffs up there?” She pointed above them. “And that area over there, how it’s surrounded by trees? No one can see the estate without me seeing them first. Besides that, the entire place is wired with a security system of my own design.”

Tessa crossed the patio to the sliding glass doors and pushed another series of buttons. “Lastly, I have two bodyguards. Stand still,” Tessa commanded.

Casey wouldn’t have dreamed of disobeying Tessa’s command
