don’t plan on getting involved with her, okay?” The woman sighed in obvious relief. “Thank goodness.” “Talk later, Di.” He didn’t wait for her to say anything else and cut the call. “Call Bromberg,” he told the car’s communication link. Seconds later, his lawyer picked up. *** Her sister wasn’t speaking to her. After calling her every indecent name Abigail had ever had the misfortune to hear, Mikayla had stormed off, dragging Angelo with her, and leaving Abigail to fend for herself. Lucky for Abigail, Ariel had driven her back to the Montenegro estate. Marjorie Brown had listened dispassionately to Abigail as she narrated the entire humiliating incident. Her mother didn’t care though. The only thing important to her was that Mikayla was no longer seeing Gabriel Raven, lead singer of the rock band called Diavolo. Was that even his real name?

As children, Daniel, Mikayla, and she had played hide and seek there amidst the tall, perfectly trimmed bushes and flowers. It had always been her favorite place and refuge. She took a bracing breath filled with the fragrances of exotic blooms and walked down the steps into the garden itself. Abigail needed to think. She felt confused and anxious…and she wasn’t sure why. It was as if she felt something…something very big was looming before all of them. Heading in the direction of her favorite hiding place, she twirled a stray strand of her hair around one finger. Her bun was firmly in place except for a few tendrils that had somehow managed to escape with the ocean breeze. That same breeze plastered her long grey dress to her legs as she walked along the grassy path. She thought of Mikayla and her anger at having spooked Gabriel away, but her sister still hung around with the other band members, just as Gabriel ...
