him.
                  The man deserved death, as far as he was concerned, but David wasn't a killer. Not that he wasn't tempted—the way the man had swooped in and ruined absolutely everything. He'd had Charlotte in the palm of his hand. She'd loved him. She'd trusted him. Now, she was busy building a lawsuit against him.
                  Surprisingly, David found this crushing in more than a platonic way. Yes, his plan had been foiled. Yes, he had been discovered far before he had reached his goal. However, the most devastating thing of all was the fact that he had lost the confidence of a woman he respected, and perhaps even had deeper feelings for.
                  He'd lost everything.
                  As he sat in the bare cell, with its single cot and open toilet, he started thinking. He thought more than he had in years—even more than he had while fervently planning the downfall of Mathers Incorporated.
                  How did he feel about Charlotte?
                  Not that it mattered. He would probably never see the woman again, unless it was at court. Then, she would host such hatred for him that it would be close to impossible to remember the intimate times they'd had.
                  She'd been beautiful. Against all odds and in spite of her parentage, she'd been beautiful, kind, generous, and amazing. Though he'd grown up under the impression that she was a carbon copy of the father who had raised her, he'd been wrong. It had actually been shocking, how deeply her father had wronged her in his quest to put his company on the map as one of the top tech firms in the world. Truly, Charlotte barely knew her father.
                  However, they were apparently close enough for her father to make accusations right in front of her, Adeline, and anyone else that counted. They were probably inspecting his creations with a fine-toothed comb as he contemplated, searching for any evidence of sabotage. If they looked hard enough, they would find it, and he would be done. He was facing years of jail time, total humiliation, and the utter dissolution of his family.
    Luckily, he'd been able to call the hastily hired nurse to tell her he would be home late. Yet, what about the following day? His mother would have no one to care for her if he didn't call the woman back in, and he was only allowed a single phone call.
                  Along with his mother's helplessness, he had his own to consider. He had no close friends or other family who he thought would bail him out. In short, he was stuck behind bars until his court date with Mathers arrived.
                  The prospect made him ill. His life had been transformed into a veritable dung heap by that family. Now, he was under their thumb again.
                  Pathetic.
                  He should have been more careful.
                  He should have been more vigilant when it came to his developing feelings for Charlotte. When it came to his feelings for her, he'd let things get totally and completely out of hand. He should have used the material he'd had on her the moment he'd found it and damn his bleeding heart.
                  Somehow, he just hadn't wanted to hurt her.
                  She was different from her father. However, it appeared that feelings wouldn't keep her from pressing charges. According to the man that had arrested him, he was awaiting a list of pending charges from the company that included fraud, embezzlement, incest, and a whole range of other matters. Apparently, the charges were at least a page and a half long.
                  If Charlotte and Emerson Mathers got their way, he would never see the sun again. His father would be restless in his grave, having never found peace, and his mother? God knows what would happen to her. No doubt she would be shuffled from
