Angel in the Shadows by Amy Deason Read Free Book Online

around this long but she was such a nice toy and he hated to give her up. Such playthings were expensive. Oh, he could always afford another doll whenever he chose but he really enjoyed playing with this one. Kinky and wild and totally uninhibited in the sack, Stacy was exactly what he wanted. She liked it rough and dirty and no matter how licentious his fantasies became, she was game. She was at his beck and call day or night. He owned her. But lately, she wanted more than he was willing to give. The little whore wanted a commitment, something serious involving diamonds and wedding vows. That was never going to happen. No matter how incredible the ass was.
    He had his suspicions that she knew more than was good for her. There was always the chance that she could reveal something to the wrong person and spoil all of his fun. That was not an option. He’d worked too hard to face failure now. So, it was time for her to bow out. He doubted that she was going to do that gracefully. A woman scorned was nothing to mess around with. But he knew exactly how to deal with unpleasant situations like this.
    Leaning back in his leather chair, he placed his perfectly manicured hands behind his head and closed his eyes, letting his mind wander. Long ago, he realized that timing was everything. And right now, things were going according to plan. In fact, the timing couldn’t be more perfect. More than two years had passed since that disastrous event and he still shook with anger and outrage every time there was mention of it.
    The revolutionary weight loss drug had been a success. The results were fast acting and the money was pouring in fast than he had hoped. It proved to be yet another overnight success in his long string of achievements. Eden Pharmaceuticals was his ultimate success, his baby. In a sense, he’d given birth to this company, nurtured it, and watched it grow. But then something had gone wrong. Shortly after taking the pills, thousands of people became gravely ill and the months following were nothing short of a nightmare. His product was pulled from the shelves and then the FDA had to stick their noses into it, investigating everything from the drug itself to him and his previous business ventures. Every part of his life was brought out into the light and examined under a microscope. Then came the hearings. They were long and tedious. And expensive. His companies took a major hit financially and worse, he became a target for criticism and ridicule countrywide. Every past success tended to be overlooked in the shadow of this failure. His extreme benevolence had been forgotten and his importance completely disregarded. That was unacceptable.
    He deserved to be recognized for his genius, honored for his insight, and exalted for the god he was, not condemned for the failures of those under him. But that didn’t matter to them. Nothing mattered but black balling him from everything he was used to. Everything he deserved. Country clubs, parties, everything. Their intense hatred and suspicions infuriated him and thoughts of retaliation burned in his every waking thought. Women came and went, helping to curb his violent ideas and his quick fire anger but on occasion, he would lose control of himself and they would have to disappear mysteriously.
    But then he came upon an idea for the perfect revenge. It was simple but devastatingly effective. With this, he would make them all pay for what they had done to him. He worked nonstop, analyzing each and every detail over and over. At last, he was done. It was ready. And now, the time was coming to exact his revenge on those that tried to defeat him. Just a little longer and the world would worship him once again. He’d worked so hard to get to this point and he was going to be damned if he allowed one upset female destroy everything he’d mapped out.
    When Stacy was out of the way, he would find someone a little more down to earth to take care of his needs. Maybe someone like that
