Chapter 6 – Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures
Zach was livid. That Erica would provide such an ultimatum to Kendall after everything. This was exactly the thing he had been trying to avoid. He had forced Kendall to go with him back to the casino's suite. He finally got her to sleep and Eddie had given him a death glare until she found out it was Kendall's mother and not him that had upset her so.
Lord forbid if he ever had this lie come out…Eddie would help Kendall dispose of the body, regardless of this not being his intended outcome.
His wife wasn't a crier. In fact he could count on two fingers, times that she had cried. Once was when Mimo said her name for the first time over the phone and the other time was when he got shot and she thought he had died during the whole Dragon episode.
Bianca would be being updated already by Eddie, he knew. Thank god his sister-in-law was getting on a flight to come to Pine Valley. His wife was a classic denial land inhabitor. Kendall would rather pretend nothing was wrong than acknowledge how upset she was over something. The only people who broke through that exterior were Mimo and Bianca.
Zach placed a call to pull funding from the promoter for Erica's show and sold the stock he had in Enchantment. He owned a chunk and had gotten it as leverage just in case when he had first came to Pine Valley. He also barred her and Jack from either of his casinos and Cambias Industries.
He had spoken to Simone about Kendall taking some vacation time and working remotely for a while. Simone had already heard from a very upset Myrtle and told him that would not be a problem.
His wife would murder him in the morning when she found out he had arranged her life for her. But at least she wouldn't be crying. He would much rather have a pissed off Kendall than a heart broken one…
He laid down beside her and smoothed a curl from her cheek. Kendall instinctively snuggled against him. He enjoyed having her against him, it was the reason he always convinced her to dance at big affairs. Her smell was the best part about her. Zach drifted to sleep holding her.
