CHAPTER FOURTEEN

“I was expecting you sooner.” Donald poured himself a glass of brandy out of an ornate glass decanter.

Sam knew for a fact that Donald didn’t like brandy, and he really didn’t like drinking in the morning. It was another power play to remind Samuel of a weakness. If he wasn’t tempted to punch the smug look off Donald’s face before, he sure as hell was now.

But emotions were another soft spot to Donald. If Sam gave even an inkling of how pissed he was, it would just make Donald more smug.

But that didn’t mean he had to play nice. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”

Donald turned to face him, not seeming to be cowed by the harsh language. “Would you care for some?” He tilted his glass toward Sam.

He scowled at the foul liquid. He was still furious with himself for the night before, and Donald had probably heard about that little indiscretion already.

Sam was fairly certain Donald didn’t know about Annabelle. He’d kept it out of the press, and the girl was basically an angel sent from heaven. Offered him forgiveness without him even asking and convinced him to clean up his act.

It was people like Annabelle and April who convinced him the world wasn’t completely going to shit. He tried to think of that positive energy even as everything dark and angry wanted release.

“I want those shares. I don’t know what you did to the Bs, but they’re mine.”

Donald raised his brows in mock shock. “What are you talking about? I offered them a deal and they took it. It was all perfectly legal.”

Sam’s lips curled into a snarl. “Legal my ass. That was dirty business and you’re too smart to not know that, so don’t play dumb. I don’t have the time.”

Donald’s lips tightened and he set his untouched drink down. “You put yourself into a very vulnerable position by taking so much capital from them.”

“How dare I get into business with some very pleasant men who are all-around decent guys with a lot of extra cash burning a hole in their hedge funds?”

“They were vulnerable. If the owners of a company are weak, what does that say about the business?”

Sam shrugged. “If the owner of a company is an egotistical maniac, what does that say about the business?”

Donald shook his head. “I don’t know what you thought you’d achieve by coming here. I’m not selling you the shares.”

“What the hell are you going to do with them? You’ve never done a damn thing with kitchen appliances.” Sam narrowed his eyes as he awaited the response. Even if his father answered, it would probably be a lie. This was all one big game to him.

“I’m going to keep them safe. You obviously need guidance. Don’t think of me as some evil marauder storming into your sanctuary. Consider me a partner.”

Sam eyed his father, trying to see through his veiled meanings to the true endgame. “So we’re going to be working together? How’s that going to work?”

Donald waved his hand in a circular motion.
