“Mr. Morrow, there is something you should probably see on TV,” Shawna told Arden, walking into the master bedroom unannounced. Her face was taut with anger and concern, but Arden didn’t immediately notice. He swallowed his annoyance and casually slipped the file he was reading under a newspaper.
“If it isn’t the Buckeyes playing, I really have no interest in watching anything on television, Shawna,” he informed her. “And please, I would really prefer if you knock next time you want to come into my room.”
Shawna ignored him and entered the sitting area of the master bedroom. She picked up the remote control and aimed it at the set mounted on the wall. “Trust me, Mr. Morrow. You should watch this.”
Curiously, knowing that Shawna’s insistence was out of character, he turned to see what she was showing him. Instantly, the news was on, and Arden felt his whole body groan with his mouth.
“Oh, no more of this tripe,” he begged Shawna. “I don’t care what that big mouth Shari Jespers is spewing forth now.”
In truth, he had gone out of his way to avoid all contact with the media since Shari had published the piece about him straying on Leona Davis. It was clear that she would stop at nothing to besmirch his good name, and Arden was worried he would pick up the phone himself to give her an earful. He knew that Malik was right; the best defense was complete silence. If he didn’t give her any more ammunition, she couldn’t go much further.
Who would have thought a story with absolutely no foundation could go on this long? he wondered disbelievingly. I think I am going to slap her with a lawsuit just to wipe that smug look off her face. She deserves to be dragged through the courts and kept away from the public for a while.
Shawna still did not speak, and Arden soon saw why.
“Oh, good God…” He watched as footage showed Leona Davis stepping out of an airport limousine in front of Gena Averson’s house. Leona slipped past the throng of reporters and up the rickety steps, looking sorely out of place in Prada against the white peeling paint.
“What is she doing?” Arden murmured, his heart racing. He felt like he was watching the video in slow motion, bile rising into his throat. “Oh, Leona, what did you do?”
“It’s pretty bad, sir,” Shawna commented, averting her eyes as if she could not watch the scene again. Arden observed Leona flash the mob of reporters a tight smile as she waited for Gena to answer the door.
Don’t answer the door, don’t answer the door, he chanted silently, like he was watching a horror flick and warning the babysitter not to enter the creepy, dark basement, but he already knew there was about to be a horrible outcome to this incident. Of course there will be; it wouldn’t be entertainment otherwise.
His breath caught in limbo, Arden watched the door creak open and Gena Averson’s profile look through.
