It did feel a little strange to walk out of the airport terminal, followed by four burly men in dark suits. They didn’t try too hard to blend in, but I supposed their mere presence acted as a deterrent to anyone who might want to hurt Benjamin. At least, I hoped so.
One of the new security men took the wheel of Benjamin’s silver Mercedes, and the remaining three followed behind in a black sedan. We travelled back to the Easton estate in silence. Benjamin was angry at Colin for persuading him into getting extra security, and Colin knew better than to talk to Benjamin when he was in a mood like this. I was too tired to try to smooth things over between them and stared out of the window, watching the scenery change as we approached Newport.
Even though I knew what to expect this time, when we turned the corner and Cliff House came into view it took my breath away.
The marble walls glowed with a rosy hue in the setting sun. Wow. Just wow. I didn’t think I’d ever seen a more beautiful house.
I turned to see Benjamin watching me with a strange expression, almost wistful. “Are you glad to be … back, Kate?”
For one moment, I thought he was about to say ‘home’.
I nodded. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a house as beautiful as this one.”
Colin launched into a description of how the marble had been imported from Italy, but I barely listened. I gazed into Benjamin’s eyes as the driver pulled up by the entrance.
I managed to wrench my eyes away and climb out of the car. I hated not knowing where I stood. I knew not to expect confessions of love or a marriage proposal, but if he would just tell me he wanted me to stay…
Mrs. Wicker opened the huge oak front door and trotted down the steps to meet us. “Welcome, back, sir.” Then she turned to me. “There is a visitor waiting for you.”
I frowned. “A visitor for me?”
Mrs. Wicker nodded and her eyes widened. “I wasn’t sure what to do. She’s waiting for you in the small sitting room.”
The small sitting room? I didn’t even know where that was … I never saw much of Cliff House before we left, only Benjamin’s private apartment and the Great Hall.
I shivered. Who would be visiting me here? Who even knew I was here?
Benjamin’s hand clasped mine, and he pulled me forward towards the house. We passed through the Great Hall, with its vaulted ceilings and painted murals and headed off along one of the many hallways.
He stopped at a door and looked down at me. “Would you like to see your visitor in private?”
Would I? I didn’t know. How could I when I didn’t even know who this visitor was?
I shook my head and tightened my grip on Benjamin’s hand. I wanted him with me.
We entered the sitting room together, and I saw a familiar figure sitting in an armchair. Her legs were crossed, and her short skirt had risen to the top of her thighs. She wore a vest with string straps and clearly no bra.
My stomach dropped. How had she found me?
“Tina?”
She jumped up from her seat, a huge beaming smile on her face. She strode towards us, her breasts wobbling beneath the thin vest. She looked over at Benjamin hungrily.
When she was two feet away from us, she stopped, put her hands on her hips and said, “Well haven’t you got a hug for your sister, Kate?”
