The Quarter Moon (Afterlife saga) by Stephanie Hudson Read Free Book Online

umm…I guess I can see now why M r Draven did things in this manner.” I frowned at him and held up a hand.
    “Stop right there and rewind …what do you mean, ‘in this manner’?” This got a little smirk from him which kept me frowning.
    “I am afraid that if you wish for me to say anything else on the matter you will have to sign this paperwork.” He said getting a cream folder out of his case.
    “Oh no, I have seen this movie, this is where I get screwed over for something and find I’m legally bound to running some bloody hillbilly ranch in the wilderness! I am not signing anything without first reading it!” I said folding my arms across my chest.
    “Certainly , but I must inform you, I doubt you will be able to make much sense out of it.” I rolled my eyes and shook my head.
    “I may not be a hot shot lawyer , but I can read.” I responded coldly.
    “Persian?” He said handing me the paperwork, which was indeed written i n a language Draven knew that in no way would I be able to make sense of.
    “Ok , so Draven expected me to sign something I can’t read so that I am forced to receive some of his money that he knew I wouldn’t want. Nice try Love…” I said looking up to the Heavens and then handing the paperwork back to him saying,
    “…b ut no dice. I thank you for coming but I will not, nor will I ever be signing that.”
    “He thought that would be the case, so he added something that would interest you. If you sign the paperwork, at any point, you will then receive this letter from the man himself, which is only addressed to you, but only to be yours with this little condition of course.” He added smugly when he saw my eyes light up at the sight of more words from Draven.
    He held it up for me to see like bait to a fish but the question was, would I survive the hook ? It took me all of nano second to decide as I snatched the paperwork back off him and took the pen he had offered me. I signed on the line at the bottom and an emotional shiver rippled along my body when I saw it was next to Draven’s own signature. I had to sign three more times but got to keep one copy. I asked what the point was, but he just shrugged and said he’d had his orders.
    He placed the other co pies back in the folder and into the safety of his briefcase. He held out a hand to me and I shook it, doing close to anything he wanted just to get my hands on that letter. He gave a little laugh at my eagerness when I took the letter from him and held it to my chest. I at least had the mental ability to walk him to the door, remembering my upbringing well, even under the circumstances.
    “It was an experience doing business with you Miss Williams ,” he said kindly and I smiled.
    “Like wise Mr Jenkins…oh and please call me Keira.” I said thinking this was a bit late, but saying so anyway. He nodded and then shook my hand once again.
    “Only if you call me Daniel, as I am sure to be meeting you again, in the future of course .” He said giving me a wink before getting into the back of the expensive car thanks to the driver who held open the door for him. I was left wondering what on earth that had meant and why would he need to be seeing me again? But none of these were the reasons I was running to the car window, tapping on the side.
    The blacked out glass slid down and I could see he wasn’t alone but being hidden with a full black hood, I couldn’t tell who the other passenger was.
    “Yes Miss Will…Keira?” He said correcting himself.
    “You never explained to me what I actually signed…what did I get myself into?” I asked feeling slightly embarrassed asking this in front of someone else, someone I was trying desperately to make out.
    “I left you the paperwork, Keira. I think you will find by the time I have gone you might be able to make more sense of it.” He said with a smile.
    “But how…I…” He nodded at me , stopping me mid question.
    “Have trust in my Master .” He said before
