CHAPTER EIGHT

With her boss attending a convention in Indianapolis all week, Madison had time to devote to her interests at work. She’d spent the morning reexamining public records, newspaper clippings, magazine articles, family letters, and what few reference books the museum owned that mentioned the De Wolfe family. Several newspaper pieces explored the topic of the family curse. Ramsey’s biological father had even confirmed it in a very candid interview with the Opposition City Times back in 1985. But something was missing.

She’d made a fatal mistake on Friday night by sleeping with Ramsey. And now she was paying the ultimate price. No other man would ever satisfy her the way Ramsey had. How could they? She could still feel his big hot hands exploring her body, smell him, and taste his kisses. She accelerated, pushing the eight year old Ford Focus the museum employees used for deliveries harder. She remembered how to get to the De Wolfe compound like she drove it every day. Highway 61 to Coal Street, take a left on Fleming Avenue and creep two miles up the ass-clenching incline of a road until she reached the driveway.

The only way to get the answers she wanted was to show up uninvited and beg his mother for an interview. Until now, she’d wrestled with the idea, but never followed through. It just seemed wrong to invade the family’s private world. But damn it, things were different now. And if she didn’t act swiftly, Ramsey might retaliate by making that dreaded phone call to her boss. Madison wanted to prove herself worthy of a promotion. And getting answers would guarantee her a full time position at the museum.

She finally reached the gravel driveway, the three-story mansion visible from the street. She parked in the turnaround and followed the footpath leading to the front porch. Built on the crest of the highest hill, it overlooked the valley below where horses grazed freely on the famous Kentucky blue grass. Ash and oak trees surrounded the house, and she could smell the sweet fragrance of bush honeysuckle.

The front door opened before Madison even reached the first step.

She recognized Claire De Wolfe immediately, her delicate features and soft, dark hair as lovely as it appeared in all the pictures they had at the museum. She held a basket and was wearing gloves, pruning shears in her right hand.

“Good afternoon,” Claire said. “Are you lost?”

“No.” Madison braved the distance between them, joining her on the porch. “My name is Madison Blake, I work at the Opposition City Museum.”

“Did we miss our payment?” Claire looked embarrassed.

“No ma’am,” Madison said respectfully, growing anxious. “I wanted to see you.”

“Have we met, Madison?”

“Only in the pages of a book.”

Claire’s face lit up. “That’s the sweetest thing I’ve heard in a long time, Ms. Blake. I’m going to the greenhouse, care to join me?” She pointed.

The domed structure was all glass with metal trim. She trailed after Claire, gaining confidence with each step. Once inside, Madison admired the rows of roses.
