Chelsea was in her father’s den with the Mahlers suggesting she wasn’t a

Mahler and shouldn’t have the ruby ring. Then the second passed, and she

saw Margaret again, who was so very threatened by change. “It may never

come to that,” she said. Judd was the one who ran things, and he was

good at what he did, which meant that the cutters would keep up with

every bit of work Chelsea brought in, which was really quite fine. A

year was all Chelsea needed. By then she would have her baby, plus the

information she needed to go on with the rest of her life. 294 7ft

Phssions of Chabes Kmw To reassure Margaret-and perhaps loosen the arms

that were wrapped so tightly around the accordion-pleated folder-Chelsea

said, “Believe me, I have no personal designs on the granite company. I

have a successful architectural practice in Baltimore. I’ll be very

happy to make my money and -leave the company to the Plums”

“.ou aren’t the only one who wants it,” Margaret said as though she hadn’t heard Chelsea at all. Hunter Love does, too. After all my husband did for him, he wants more. He’s an evil person.”

“Not evil.”

“He sets fires.

Did you know that?”

“Sets fires.” Margaret nodded sagely. “Where?”

Chelsea asked almost conversationally. “At some of the nicest homes in town.”

“They’ve burned down?”

“o. But garages and woodsheds have been destroyed.” ‘Recently?”

“Several years back. I’ve seen you with him, Chelsea. I would be very careful, if I were you. He , a dark side.” I Chelsea had seen evidence of Hunter’s moods, but not once had she felt threatened. The closest he had ever come to causing her harm had been that day on the motorcycle.

Yes, he had driven recklessly, but he had been subdued when she’d gotten

sick, which spelled remorse in Chelsea’s book, not evil. “Has he ever

been tried for arson?” she asked. “No. He’s very clever. Nothing’has

ever been proven. Just like with his mother’s death”

“.en how can you blame those fires on him?”

“Because it’s obvious he set them.” 295 Barbara Ddinsky

“Does Oliver believe that, too?”

“Ye -S.”

“Still he keeps Hunter on at the company. That doesn’t make sense.” Unless, of course, Hunter was Oliver’s son, which would also explain Margaret’s antagonism. Personally, Chelsea didn’t believe Hunter was an arsonist, any more than she thought he was a murderer.

“There are many things in life that don’t make sense,” Margaret said with a pinched look on her face. Her voice suddenly went higher. She held the folder more tightly. “It doesn’t make sense that I had daughters. If I had a son, none of this would’ve happened. My son would be taking over the company, and there wouldn’t be anyone else involved in it. That’s how it should have been.” More softly she said, “That’s how it should have been.”

“Margaret, dear,” came a call from the door, followed by the entrance of the woman Margaret had called Dots. She went straight to Margaret’s chair, put an arm around her shoulder, and said gently, “We need you now, Margaret. You said you wouldn’t be long.” She touched the folder.
