“Ouch.” He chuckled. “If she cons rich men, she must have the thirty grand to pay you.”
“That’s the thing. She said she doesn’t and that’s all she’ll say. I still don’t know her real name.”
“So what are you going to do? You just can’t keep her locked up in this house. The first chance she gets, she’ll call the police, and then you’ll go to jail. Do you know what that will do to the company?”
“She won’t call the police. I have her briefcase with all her passports and different aliases and the keys to her apartment. She’ll be the one going to jail.”
“Dude, I seriously can’t believe this.” He laughed. “Here I was coming to spend a little time with my brother, and I find out he’s got some girl locked up in one of the guest rooms. I thought maybe you were doing something kinky.” He smiled.
“I wish it was something like that. I guess I better go check on her.”
As I began walking out of the kitchen, Caleb stopped me.
“Hey, Gabriel?”
“Yeah.” I turned around.
“Remember when you first told me about the watch, and I told you I believed it just wasn’t about that?”
“Yeah. I remember.”
“I still think this isn’t about the watch.”
I looked away and headed up the stairs.
Chapter 11
Kate
Iwas sitting on the floor with my back up against the door when I heard the key go into the lock. Standing up, I stood in front of it as he opened the door.
“Are you done screaming and pounding?” Gabriel asked.
“I am; for now, at least.”
“Come downstairs and meet my brother Caleb.”
“Why should I? Why would I want to meet a man who turned his back on me and refused to help?”
“There’s nothing he could have done. He didn’t have the key and you can’t unlock this type of lock with a credit card.”
“Now I have to question what kind of person you really are.” I arched my brow. “Who has locks like that on their bedroom doors?”
“To be honest with you, these locks were on the doors when I bought the house. I had found the keys tucked into a drawer in the kitchen.”
“And you didn’t think that was weird or bothered to have it changed?” I folded my arms and cocked my head.
“It wasn’t a priority of mine. Please, come downstairs. I’ll be cooking dinner for us soon.”
Rolling my eyes, I followed him downstairs and into the kitchen where Caleb was sitting.
“Caleb, I would like you to meet the woman who stole my watch. Woman who stole my watch, I would like you to meet my little brother Caleb.”
“Nice to meet you. I think,” he spoke as he held out his hand.
Placing my hand in his, I lightly shook it.
“I take it you aren’t in the family business?” I asked.
