Chapter 29

A tall, lean figure stood silhouetted against the light, his face obscured.

Latisha's hand tightened on the plate she was holding. She had no idea why he was here. Shouldn't he be enjoying his time with Yesenia?

"Have you had enough fun?" he asked, his voice deceptively calm.

She had been gone for over two weeks, and in his eyes, she was just playing a game.

The owner's wife glanced between the two of them. "Who are you to Latisha?" she asked.

"I'm her husband."

The woman gasped, completely taken aback. This was not the man she had imagined. She'd pictured a lazy, good-for-nothing bum, or perhaps an arrogant, pot- bellied man who ordered Latisha around. She had never expected someone so young, handsome, and powerful.
