* * * *
Hector Alvarez sat in his car watching the house he’d bought, the one he’d provided for his family. He’d been the king of that castle until the damn sheriff had decided to come in and take what belonged to Hector.
He could still feel the humiliation burning in him, still see that bastard standing over him and telling him to get out of town or he would tell the town what he’d seen.
What had Dillon Murphy seen? He’d seen Hector dealing with his wife. Joanne was his. His. He had the right to deal with her any way he saw fit. He was the one who had put up with her for years, dealt with her lazy ways. Joanne required a firm hand.
The door to the house opened and he saw a man walk out.
Marcus. Marcus had come home. His only son had walked out, leaving his family for some ranch in Montana. Hector had thought it was a stupid fit at the time, a rebellion, but then Marcus had stayed away.
Now he was back and his son looked like a man. Marcus held the door open and smiled down at the girl who walked through.
Mallory. His youngest. Such a pretty girl, but far too influenced by her mother. She wouldn’t amount to anything because Joanne had ruined her. It seemed like it was his wife’s goal in life to make their children as weak as she was.
Mallory strode off, a bag over her shoulder. She walked down the street with a smile on her face. Like nothing was wrong with the world. Like she was happy.
Like she didn’t miss her father at all.
Marcus moved to his car, opening the door for his other sister.
Dakota. His baby girl. Now there was a daughter. He stared at her. Of all the things he’d done, leaving Dakota actually made him feel a little guilty. She was the only one who took after him, the only of his children to truly see him as he was. Dakota understood.
She slipped in the car and then Marcus took off.
It was not lost on Hector that the sheriff’s squad car was sitting in front of his house.
Was Dillon Murphy inside trying to take his place? Trying to get his wife in bed?
Rage threatened to take over, the emotion rolling in his gut.
