Chapter Ten

“Where is she?” Alexandra asked. She and Eva had burst through the front doors of the house. “Claire? Where are you?”

Antonio had texted her that he was marrying Claire—wasn’t it just like him to text that kind of news. Alexandra had been stunned by the announcement—and that Antonio was even putting it in the paper, just as required to marry. She’d known about Antonio’s past with Claire. Antonio hadn’t wanted to talk about it, and neither had their father, but Dareios had told Alexandra everything, and she in turn had told Eva. Now they were both dying to meet the mysterious Claire.

Was she really what their father had said—a poor American who wanted to marry money? If she was, she was about to get her wish—and then Antonio would pay her and she would go. But what if she wasn’t that? Alexandra couldn’t imagine her brother ever falling for a woman who just wanted money from him. He was too smart for that—he always had been. But if Claire was a wonderful girl, why had Antonio let her slip away? Alexandra knew she had to meet this girl—and then she would decide if she could let Antonio do this terrible thing of marrying just to inherit.

Alexandra turned to Eva and pointed to the stairs. “You try upstairs.” Eva gave a nod and ran up the stairs. Alexandra started to search the downstairs. Pulling open a door, she ran into strong arms that caught her. She looked up into Dareios’ laughing blue eyes.

Her face warmed and she ducked her head to hide her reaction. He’s your brother’s best friend. That makes him off limits. But she knew the real issue—Dareios was more like her brother. And that was all he was.

“Kalimera, Alexandra. What? No hug for me?” He swept her into his arms and spun her around. Putting her on her feet, he grinned. “You grow prettier every day...now that you’re not a pesky teenager, following me and your brother around. Or are you still following Antonio?”

Alexandra stepped back and shrugged. “I am looking for Antonio...and Claire. Have you seen them? We were supposed to be here yesterday, but Eva wanted to see a new shop that opened in Athens.” She knew she was talking too much, and she snapped her lips closed.

“Sure. Claire is in the back room, playing with her new toys.” Dareios jerked a thumb over his shoulder.

“Toys?” Alexandra asked.

Dareios grabbed her arm and started walking her down the hallway. “Antonio asked me to set up a recording studio here for Claire to use. I’ve been two days bringing in equipment, and Claire’s been meeting with this documentary maker—Nick Stavos. They’ve been going over scripts. Now I’ve got to get some builders in to sound proof the room so Claire can start doing her narration for the film.”

He led her into a room that seemed all wires and levers and buttons and lights. A girl with long, blonde hair was bending over one of the boards, running her hands over it as if it was a lover.
