the water and grabbed a towel.
I stepped from the glass enclosure and wrapped the towel around my waist. “Kennedy, what’s taking so long?”
I stared at the bed. It was empty. I wandered to the kitchen. She wasn’t in the suite. I spotted the brass key on the table by the front door. Next to it was the necklace. I lifted it in the air. The diamonds sparkled around the pearl. The inscription swung back and forth. Carpe Noctem. We had done that last night. More than once.
There was a note scribbled on the hotel stationary, pinned to the hotel latch on the door. What was going on? I yanked it off the lock.
I know it’s you. You’re BONO.
That was all it said. I clasped the pearl in my hand. Shit. How did she find out? Paul had combined a shell company on top of shell company to protect the PAC’s identity.
The water from the shower puddled at my feet. I closed my eyes. She wasn’t coming back to the suite. That note might as well have been a death threat. She was going to come after me with everything she had.
I had to be ready.
I needed a plan to get her back.
