Chapter Fourteen

“I still want a grandchild. You owe me that.”

“Tomas, I don’t owe you anything. You’re lucky that I’m giving you your life,” Seth roared at the old man who had stormed into his study.

“Don’t you dare take that tone with me in my home. You are here under my patronage, I could have you killed in a heartbeat. You need to remember your place.”

Seth stood up slowly from behind the God awful desk that Portia had recently purchased for his use. He placed his fists on the surface and leaned over and looked down on the man who stood in front of him. He watched with satisfaction as he blanched.

“Old man, I am done with your shit. I married Portia, though it is now clear that you both set me up. I’m not obligated to do anything. I can leave your ass hanging in the wind with Vargas, Labado, or anyone I like. I’ve told you before, you’re lucky I’m taking pity on you and working to smooth over the books before Labado finds out and buries you alive in an oil drum.”

Seth watched his words have the desired effect, as Tomas grabbed for the office chair and lowered himself into it.

“How can you do this to Portia? She really loves you. She’s sick, and finding out you’ve taken a mistress will set her back.”

“Then you better not tell her.” Thirty-six more hours and he would have Annie safely under his care. He couldn’t care less about Portia.

“She knows you don’t love her, but she has consoled herself with the thought of having your baby.”

“You’re deluding yourself, it’s your dream, not hers. Portia doesn’t want a baby, she wants to shop, party and do drugs.”

“You’re wrong,” the old man said gathering steam. “This is an aberration. Your neglect has driven her to drugs.”

Seth let out the first laugh in what seemed like a lifetime. “You are out of your mind. She’s been doing drugs for half her life. She was probably fucking Rick Vargas before you put her on lock-down. You have no idea the piece of work you raised. I’m done. If you want me to stay, you damn well better pray I find something in Leslie Gordon’s inventory that meets my needs, otherwise I’m gone. Now get out of here, because I’m holding on by a thread.”

Seth watched as Tomas Benitez gave him a dazed look. “You’re wrong she’s a good girl, she would never betray her marriage vows.”

“My God man, how could you be so blind?”

“I know my little girl, she would never do what you are saying.”

“Believe what you need to believe, but I’m telling you, get the hell out of here. If you don’t leave, then I will. And if I leave, it’ll be for good.” Seth knew this man down to the bone, if he hadn’t he would never have made the threat, he wouldn’t have put his plan at risk.

“This is a sin. You will go to hell for this.”

“I’ve been in hell,” Seth said tiredly.
