Sexx, Secrets and Orgasms

Gunter left and I sat in my car. My hands started shaking. I could not believe this was happening. I felt so scared. There were too many questions of why someone was doing this and who would be next? I began to cry because I was really scared.

I sat there as shock wrecked my body. I wasn’t really close to Katie and Rachel but knowing they were dead made it surreal. I just hoped that Gunter could find out who was behind this before someone else was murdered.

An hour later I was back in Uptown at Lilly’s house. I pulled into the driveway and parked. A few moments later Gunter pulled up. I quickly pulled up Bradford Cole’s file.

"He is the CEO for Ricon Industries, a construction company. Here is a picture of him." I pulled out a headshot.

"It looks like the same man on the video tape," Gunter said pulling out his phone. "This is from the video from Rachel’s apartment."

He turned it on and the video played. Sure enough he was on the tape. I pulled Lauren’s file. In her file her client list had Bradford Cole’s name on it.

"He has been with all three girls. He was at the ball last night and called in for Cadence on Friday. Oh my gawd, he is the link," I said putting two and two together.

"We need more evidence. We have to catch him in the act, Marci. This is all circumstantial evidence."

"I refuse to put Cadence’s life in danger. I won’t do it!"

"We don’t have a choice! Marci."

"Yes we do, I’m calling Lilly." I picked up the phone and started to dial.

"Wait, maybe we can come up with another idea," he said.

I put the phone down and ran my hands over my face. There was a killer on the loose and he needed to be stopped.

"So what’s the other idea?"

"Change location. You could be a substitute for her. I can be in the closet and once things go down I will be in the room with you and can alert the cops."

"Are you crazy! I am a married woman. I haven’t been in the business for over twenty years. I don’t think so," I said rolling my eyes.

"We need to let Lilly handle this," I said picking up the phone. After the third ring it went straight to voicemail.

A few moments later my phone rang. It was Lilly. I explained to her what we found and she said to wait before we turned anything over to the police.

I couldn’t understand why we had to wait but somehow I had a feeling there was much more to this.

"Marci, tell Gunter to give me twenty-four hours before he turns this into the police. I will have everything he needs in twenty-four hours."

"But Lilly....,"I said.

"Listen Marci everything will be fine. Go home to Frank and tell Gunter to go home and I will call him. I don’t want you worried about this."

"Lilly?"

"Marci I consider you a daughter. I don’t want you involved in any of this. Go home and I will call you."

"Okay," I said hesitantly. She hung up and I took a deep breath.

"She said she would handle it. If I know Lilly there is something else going on. She said she would call you later with more details."

He looked at me confused. "After years of working for Lilly Monroe once she says it’s handled you leave it alone," I told him.

"I guess you’re right. She has more power than the governor or any politician in the state."

"Yeah, but I don’t want her stress out. When she had the attack it scared me. I don’t want her to be sick again."

"I understand," he said. I shut down the computer and locked up the office. I went to my car and he went to his. I knew that shit was about to hit the fan.

The Next Day - Lilly POV

10:00 am - Ricon Industries

"Yes, I’m here to see Bradford Cole," I said walking in the office.

"Do you have an appointment?" The young dumb blonde questioned.

"You tell him Lilly Monroe is here and I am more than sure he will see me."

She picked up the phone and called. A few minutes later a tall dark-haired man walked out of an office.

"Ms. Monroe what do we owe this pleasure?"

"Timothy McDermitt, I should have known you were working with the snakes. Couldn’t work for the best and now you’re crawling in the hole with the most despicable vermin that walked the earth. Now please escort me to Bradford’s office and close your mouth before flys decide to settle."

He turned around as his face turned red. He was hot and I was loving every bit of it. I had fired him from Monroe Enterprises a few years ago for sexual harassment and costing me several accounts.

I walked into Bradford’s office as he was getting off the phone.

"What do I owe this pleasure Ms. Monroe. I thought you were still in England."

I smiled and took a seat. I had brought Malcolm my attorney with me. I had my phone on so Gunter could here everything. I already had evidence but I needed more.

"I came to offer you a deal. I know your company is in the hole due to the mortgage crisis and you have lost millions of dollars. I am willing to buy you out and you walk away."

"Are you kidding me? I will not sell my company to you."

"You don’t have a choice. I can buy it now or I can buy it later."

"I have no idea what you are talking about."

"I know your mother put you up to this. Did Daphne really think she could pull the wool over my eyes?"

"I’m still confused," he said leaning back in his chair.

"Leave us Malcolm." I kept my eyes on Bradford as Malcolm walked out the room.

"Now that he is gone, we can get to business." I stood up and walked around the office.

"Very nice pictures. I see each generation gets better taste in furnishings and decor. When your mother ran this company she stayed under the radar. I can’t believe it took her this long to try and come after me."

"I have meeting to attend too, can we hurry this walk down memory lane up."

"You became a member of one of the most exclusive gentleman’s club under false pretenses and you fell in love with Lauren. You wanted her all the time and when you couldn’t own her, you became obsessed with her. You got her started on drugs, you were her pimp. I know about your side business."

"You know nothing!"

"Awe but you’re wrong. When you found out that she was coming back to work for me after rehab, you had her killed. You would rather see her dead than to have another man touch her."

"I didn’t kill Lauren I loved her."

"Who killed her?"

"I don’t know!"

"I think you do. You killed her because I have a taped confession."
