In Rose’s opinion, the trip back was almost as exhausting as the trip over had been. Once they returned to Kinshasha, it was evident exactly how much red tape Elias and Alice had cut through in order to be able to reach them. They were immediately taken in for questioning, and Rose faired about as well the second time around as she had the first.

Watching Alice, however, was almost as fascinating as watching her brother. It was obvious that the two of them were siblings, even if they bore little physical resemblance. The similarities in their personalities were uncanny, and Alice was the only woman Rose had seen actually cow Michael. She performed with the same grace under pressure as her older brother, and even though their interrogators were brusque and accusatory with them, Alice merely brushed them off as if they were flies.

It was a kind of poise Rose had to admit she was incapable of.

She didn’t get a chance to ask Alice about it, however, until they had boarded Michael’s jet at the airport. Elias promptly fell asleep once they were in the air and Michael, who seemed childishly amused by the idea of leaving Rose with his sister, disappeared into the bedroom – leaving the two women alone.

As exhausted as Rose was, she couldn’t deny being both interested in and intimidated by Alice. While she’d known that Michael had a sister, he barely mentioned her. In her head, Rose had built her up to be a younger clone of the countess, and now she could see that she was perhaps only half right.

By all appearances, Alice Tate was indeed a polished British lady at the height of fashion and poise. She sipped at her wine like it owed her money and despite having trudged through the dust of the Congo and being questioned for two hours, not a hair on her head was out of place.

But she was more than some titled rich lady. That much was evident in the way she’d dealt with her brother. Alice hadn’t simply thrown a tantrum and made demands, she had guilted her brother into doing what she asked and she hadn’t bat an eye. Of course, Rose felt little guilt about having run off without her parents’ permission. She did it all the time. But if Michael’s mother had really thrown such a fit, with him a man nearing forty…she had to question her motives.
