Chapter 12

“I followed you last night.”

Dinah stopped in her tracks in the hallway of Gallagher’s. Though she’d never been fond of her uncle, his tone and his words were downright creepy, enough to have her shivering.

She turned slowly to face him, trying to maintain an aura of not giving a fuck. “That’s certainly a creepy statement, Uncle Craig.”

“A man wouldn’t have to be creepy if his family members weren’t a bunch of lying, cheating deviants.”

Dinah tried to fight off the shudder of fear, but it got the better of her. Condescending Craig she’d always disliked; flat-out hateful Craig actually scared her a little bit.

“You know, fucking the enemy doesn’t make you any more moral, and certainly not any smarter than your father.”

“You spied on me?” she asked, rage replacing revulsion so quickly it nearly made her sway. “Who the hell do you think you are?”

“The director of operations of Gallagher’s, who will be damned if I let a slut ruin everything I’ve worked for.”

“You have some nerve.”

“You are supposed to be buying Carter Trask’s land, but instead I find you—”

“I have no interest in hearing what you found me doing,” Dinah returned, cold and angry and disgusted that he would go to such lengths. She couldn’t even be worried about how it would affect her deal with Carter, she was so outraged.

“I’ll be bringing this to the board.”

Dinah lifted her chin. “Go right ahead. I have a few things to bring to the board myself.”

A muscle ticked in Craig’s jaw as he narrowed his eyes at her. “Like what?”

Interesting. He very nearly sounded concerned. “I guess you’ll have to attend the meeting tomorrow and find out for yourself.”

“Watch your back, Dinah,” Craig muttered, stalking off in the opposite direction.

Dinah let out a shuddery breath. Though her uncle could be mean and intimidating, she’d never felt scared in his presence before. She didn’t care for it, especially when she would need to move Carter along on his decision now. She couldn’t let Friday’s board meeting pass without bringing up her suggestion.

She closed her eyes and turned into Kayla’s office. Craig knew about her and Carter. Which shouldn’t be a terribly big deal, but it would be. It made her look bad. It made her look stupid. It made her look young and foolish and everything the board already thought of her.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck.”

“So, it’s true.”

Dinah nearly jumped a foot when she realized Kayla was actually in her office, sitting behind her desk, looking pale and tired in a way that immediately worried Dinah. “Hey, are you all ri—”

“Are you really sleeping with him?”

Dinah blinked, surprised by the undertone of hurt in Kayla’s voice. “I . . . Kay, he . . . he’s the guy. The . . . the email guy.”

Kayla shook her head, her expression scrunching up. “What do you mean?”

“I mean, Carter is the guy I’ve been emailing. I mean, I didn’t know that until . . . Well. It’s not . . .” Dinah blew out a breath.
