Her Sweet Satisfaction: Billionaire Secrets - Book Two Read Online Free PDF

surface suitcase and would need to put in her combination to get it open. In the pitch black of the trunk, bouncing around on the back roads she might as well have had no idea what it was. She would have to get out the tools from underneath her and see if she could pry it open. In the darkness it seemed to take forever but eventually she found something sharp enough to wedge in underneath the locks and pop them open.
    She found the small bag of money inside ordered together in neat stacks of one hundred dollar bills. That would make one thousand notes in all.
    It would have to be enough.
    She set to work right away - this shindig wasn't over yet.

    The emptiness that Clayton felt was unlike anything he could recall. Normally he was unshakeable but something wasn't adding up. The woman he had comforted and put to bed the night before had been ready to open up to him completely, so why would she change her mind and run? He considered calling Angel but that wasn't part of the protocol. If a woman said she wanted to leave then she had every right to go without any interference from him or from anybody else. No meant no on both sides and he had promised her there would be no questions asked.
    But Katy was different.
    She was in real trouble, unlike anything he had come across before; she might have made a decision without thinking it through completely.
    He checked his watch. Angel had been gone a long time. He went to the living area and clicked his fingers to make a huge, curved screen TV rise up from the flooring and then lay down on the sofa holding his customized, secure Blackphone. There was zero tolerance for security breaches at Hargrave Robotics so essential elements of the phone had been designed and manufactured in-house. The feature he considered accessing now was one he had created himself but he had never used it live before and he now he hesitated. Ethically there was no question; it was absolutely wrong. He had promised to let her go this was a breach of that agreement.
    There was also the possibility that it could compromise Katy's, or more accurately, Nadia Komerov's anonymity.
    He swiped the screen on his phone and activated the tracking software. She needed his protection. If he didn’t do this the consequences for her could be far worse than.
    For several seconds there was nothing on screen.
    "Shit." He hissed. Maybe Katy had been clever enough to find the device.
    "Impossible." He whispered to himself. "It's undetectable, untraceable." It wasn't a question of intelligence or not, she would have no idea the device was even on her.
    As the pathway started mapping out on the screen of his phone he breathed a sigh of relief and then frowned in confusion as he examined the route they had taken. It was an erratic line, heading south and clearly following only back roads. Then abruptly they had veered off towards the highway and began making a beeline towards New York City.
    He closed down the app and picked up the phone next the bed. Dialing zero put him in contact with his property manager.
    "Get the chopper ready. I'm flying today."

    Angel rapped heavily on the trunk.
    "No funny business Katy. I'm gonna open up now so I need you on your best behavior. Knock once if you understand."
    There was a dull thud from the inside and then as the lid lifted Katy peered out, momentarily blinded by the high midday sun until her eyes could adapt.
    "Get out."
    She climbed out and looked around to get her bearings. She was in the middle of a forest on a small dead end road. There was a shack nearby.
    "Walk." Angel said, pushing her in the back with the muzzle of his gun.
    "Where are we going?"
    "You'll see."
    The one hundred yard walk to the small building was the longest of her life. Stark reality was beginning to hit home.
    This would be it.
    The game was over and justice hadn't been done. She would never see her mother again and never know what had happened to her. She would
