mutual friend?”
“Jacob’s a real estate associate. He sold condos in another development on the other side of town.”
“So you knew Jacob from work?”
“Yeah, we referred clients to one another. He’s actually a lot of fun. I wonder what sort of business brings him to Portland.” Megan muses and appears distracted as she considers the idea.
“You haven’t mentioned the mutual friend, Megan. Who was that?” I see that she’s avoided the topic but I’m not letting her off the hook so easily.
“The mutual friend happens to be a real estate mogul from Atlanta. His name is Michael Kingsfield.”
“I think I’ve heard of Michael Kingsfield,” I reflect, “he’s quite powerful in the southeast. Did you know him well?” My guard comes up as I brace for the worst.
“I did get well acquainted with Michael. He’s a major real estate developer.” Megan pets my leg as we drive. I relax at the contact between us. She returned to me I keep chanting to myself.
“Tell me about Michael,” I command. “Did you work with him on some deals?” My radar signals that Mr. Kingsfield played an important part in Megan’s past.
“My mother worked with him off and on over the years,” Megan explains, “and she introduced us when we passed the one million dollar sales mark. It’s really no big deal, that is, passing the million dollar marker.”
She’s stalling but I’m not going to give up on my mission to know more about Mr. Mogul. “So, Michael Kingsfield happens to be middle aged? Has he been active for some time in the field?”
“Yeah, he’s about Abby’s age. In fact, they dated once upon a time,” Megan says while squirming. She admits that much but then continues, “he’s been funding developments in Georgia and Florida for nearly twenty-five years.”
“That’s good. Was he funding your condo project in Miami?” I’m sensing something more to the story since Megan doesn’t want to expand on it.
“He played a role in the funding of our project but it was indirect. Mostly, Michael acted as a consultant.”
I hear that she’s referred to Mr. Kingsfield by his first name. That’s not good as far as I’m concerned. I finally put two and two together and it equals rage.
“Megan, did you date Kingsfield while you worked in Miami?”
The blood coursing through my veins has become the temperature of ice. My breathing shallows as I pull into the garage at my condo complex.
“Yes, Matt, I dated Michael for a while,” she agrees while looking down at her hands.
“Can I ask how long you dated Michael?”
The words leave my mouth with difficulty. I’m having trouble controlling my jealousy. We leave my car and head toward the elevator.
She pauses. “Long enough to know that I wanted to be with you, Matt.” She looks directly into my eyes. Hers are filled with fear. She reaches for my hand.
“Did you sleep with Michael Kingsfield?” I grab her hand and pull her into the elevator as I ask the million-dollar question.
“Matt, stop it. You’re torturing yourself and I’m not going to answer your question until you can calm down!”
“You’ll answer the question now,” I command as we reach my place.
After we leave the elevator, Jared my security guard, greets us with a nod. Megan strides into the apartment and sits on the couch. I follow on her heels. She’s not leaving here until I get a confession from her.
