Chapter Eight

Jackie sat at the kitchen table, drinking coffee and going over everything in her mind. It seemed this night would never end. She felt very tense. So much had happened in the last few days that she’d lost perspective. Everything had turned upside-down.

She walked over to the window and looked outside, trying to peer through the darkness. Is the maniac out there? she wondered. Is he watching me right now? She was so tired, not just physically, but emotionally…especially emotionally. She silently wished for the nightmare to end.

Who is behind all these deaths? She wondered once again. Who could be so ruthless to kill so many people for a piece of property? Then again, she knew better. She was aware that people would kill for a lot less than land, and here there was so much at stake. The Demiris property was worth a lot of money, being right on the beach of one of the most beautiful and popular Greek islands, not to mention the mansion itself and the treasure hiding in the secret room.

And why would Constantinos Demiris leave everything to Michael? Suspicions started haunting her again. After all, she did find Michael snooping around the mansion in the middle of the night. Or was it the other way around? He’d found her snooping. But she had a good reason for doing so. She had to be careful and discrete when peoples’ lives were at stake.

Maybe he had good reasons too.

She shook her head to clear her thoughts. If she wanted to be honest with herself, she had to admit she was falling in love with him. She wanted nothing more than for him to be innocent and a victim of this whole ordeal just as Stephanos’ family was. How much she wanted to believe that was true. How much she needed to believe it was true. But she had to be realistic. The chances of Michael being the innocent victim were very slim. After all, a man like Michael—strong, smart, well-trained and powerful—would never allow himself to be put in a situation where someone else was pulling the strings. He would always want to be in control. He would always be the one pulling the strings.

She walked away from the window and out the kitchen door. She had to talk to him. She needed to get some things off her chest.

She looked towards the study. He had been in there for hours. He was probably going over the contents of the folders, and there was nothing she could do about it. After all, he more likely already knew exactly what was in those folders. He had access to the house and access to the secret room long before she even got here.

“Michael,” she whispered and approached the door to the study, which was halfway open.

She walked in to find him sitting at the desk and placing folders into a leather briefcase. The folders from the secret room, she realized.

Michael glanced at her and got right back to what he was doing.
