CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Three Days Later

Osana took her shades off and scanned the patrons of the cozy coffee shop.

An older, medium-built black man sipped from a mug in the back booth at the corner window as Osana approached him.

“Hey.” Fifty-nine-year-old Teddy Spears smiled with his shades perched in his kinky, salt and pepper hair. “How you doing?” He stood and kissed her cheek. “Haven’t seen you since your birthday party.”

“You can’t be surprised, right?” She sat across from him. “After what you’ve done to the family.”

He ate a piece of coffeecake with thick glaze. “Am I ever gonna live that down?”

“I still can’t wrap my head around how you could scheme against Anthony all those years. Your own brother. And, Georgia is your niece, and you hid that she was Anthony’s real daughter. I’ll never understand that.”

“I can’t change the past.” He twisted his gold watch around his dark-brown wrist. “But I can’t make things right if you don’t give me a chance.”

Osana swept her fingers through her straight strands.

“We’ve never been each other’s biggest fans, Osana.”

“That’s because I could always see through you. Even when Anthony gave you chance after chance.”

“I’m your uncle, Osana.”

“You’re not my uncle.” She moved a napkin out her way.

“I love you, and I miss being around the family.”

She set her purse in the seat beside her.

“It hurt you didn’t invite me to your wedding.” He wiped crumbs from his mouth. “That you haven’t even introduced me to Max. I’m getting all my information from Wanda.”

“Why is Momma talking to you about me and Max?”

“Because she’s worried like I am.” He tore off another bite of cake with his fork. “We know something’s up. You’re not the type of person to marry a man in three months.”

Osana glanced at the giant, diamond wedding ring Max had given her that she’d bought.

“And from what Wanda tells me Max isn’t your type at all.” He lowered his head, glaring. “She walked you down the aisle, but that was my job.”

“Says who?”

“Me, damn it.” He dropped the fork on his plate. “I’m the closest thing to a father you got left.”

“God help me if that’s true.”

“If you can’t stand me so much then why did you call me here?”

“Because as much as I hate to admit it, I need a favor from you.”

He propped his arm on the back of the booth. “Really?”

“I need you to investigate Max for me. I want a thorough investigation. Anything you can find.”

“Um…” He scratched his ear. “Why do you want your husband investigated and you’ve already married him?”

“Don’t worry about why. Are you gonna do it?”

“I’m retired in case you’ve forgotten. Why don’t you hire another private investigator?”

“Didn’t you just tell me you’re the closest thing to a father I have left? But, now you don’t wanna help me?”

“I didn’t say that.” He flattened his hand against the table. “Your mother already investigated Max.”

“She did a Google search.” She rolled her eyes. “I’m talking about finding out things no one else can from just clicking a website.
