Chapter Twelve

Saving Cece from what was essentially a burn notice on her womanhood had been one of the closest calls on record.

There had been very little time between the discovery of the underground notice to rape and injure and the acceptance of the note. No one in the inner circles had been immediately available and drastic measures had been taken.

Wainwright’s and Dunham’s appearance had been damn near too late. Bloodied and bruised and unconscious until the deed was about to be done, she had to be forcefully removed from the situation. Dr. Thompson had been invaluable in keeping the failed attempt under wraps.

Garabaldi also had motive to keep the issue quiet; there was a good chance that the notice could lead them to the real murderer, if not her tormentor.

Cece had recovered well from the attack. It was easy to suppose that someone who had been a Domme for as long as she had had found herself in the same awful position more than once.

The revelation of Killian McInnis as John Smith was unexpected.

That was probably an understatement. The people who heard about it and knew of its significance were rendered speechless. Those who knew him as a Dom were shocked at the depths of submission he could achieve. They were awed by his desire to be tied up.

But no one has miscalculated the impact of the revelation more than Killian himself. Not on his friends, or coworkers or fellow Doms he trusted, but on Cece Robbe.

Betrayed by not just the man she loved, but the submissive who lit up her life, she hid in the house. The only people she would let in were Emmy, Morgan, and Garabaldi. And letting in was not a metaphorical statement. She would let no one in the house aside from them. She went to work, went home, and locked the door.

Killian and all of society had betrayed her.

Garabaldi had taken Killian’s statement that day, that he was with Cece the night Everett was murdered. He produced all the falsified documents that he used to create John Smith and was slapped with several misdemeanor charges and fines. Morgan, magnanimously, got him out of serving time. She was so angry at his shenanigans; she asked the judge for a ridiculous amount of community service. He wound up with slightly more than the one thousand hours she wanted.

Morgan Kirkbride was no one to be trifled with.

And with that admission, Cece was cleared of all charges in the death of Everett Millhouse.

Her trial wasn’t over yet. The evidence against her in the death of Susan Oetler Millhouse was still there. There had been no evidence of planted data, and there was no evidence of someone using her keypad other than her.

Garabaldi and the prosecutor both agreed that after her dismissal in the death of Everett, the death of Susan seemed more of a coincidence than intent. While the charges were not filed, Garabaldi asked that she behave as though someone was watching her every move.

Which they were, but who was watching was more sinister.
