The Sheik’s Vow (The Billionaire’s Club #13)

Chapter 19

Ethan cursed under his breath as he stared at the newspaper in the cheap hotel room. “What the hell is going on?”

The news article had a picture of some royal guy, Sheik something or other. Ethan didn’t know who the man was, nor did he care. The only aspect of the image he cared about was that Kaia was there and another man was touching her!

Or maybe not?

His eyes squinted at the image, doubting what he was looking at. Maybe it wasn’t her?

The woman in the picture wasn’t dressed in the ratty tee-shirt and faded jeans that he’d always seen Kaia wearing. The woman in the picture wore a pair of expensive sunglasses and a well-tailored suit. And heels! Damn, those slutty shoes were hot! The white suit clung to her curvy ass, but the top smothered her breasts. He didn’t like the suit, but he wanted this woman even more now. Kaia had always been a beauty, but when she dressed up and put on makeup, she was…stunning!

Ethan’s mouth watered at the delicious plans he had for Kaia. But he had to…? His eyes narrowed as he read the article. “She’s traveling back to Kentucky?” he snapped. Anger boiled inside of him at this newest twist! He crushed the newspaper in his fist as his fury threatened to make his head explode. “I travel all the way here to get the bitch and now she’s going back to my turf?”

Dropping the newspaper onto the floor, he walked around the filthy room, gathering up the few items he’d unpacked. He’d only been here for a day, but he was more than ready to get home. He’d figure out what the hell was wrong with his bank accounts, and most likely kill the bank manager who had allowed this to happen to him. And then he’d find Kaia. No more of this putzing around.

He pulled out the envelope filled with cash, counting the money he’d finally been able to withdraw from his account. The guy at the embassy had spoken to someone at the FBI. That guy had released enough funds to get Ethan back home. With a frustrated snort, he pulled out enough money to get him on a flight back to the United States, then shoved everything back into his suitcase. He’d take a cab to the airport and get on the next flight back home.

Anticipation pushed him to move faster. Kaia would be his by the weekend! He was already planning his next sermon. It was going to be perfect!
