F R A N C I N E R I V E R Shome here, Angel? Haven’t you missed the good food, the beautiful clothes,the lavish setting, the attention?”She shifted uneasily and saw him smile. “I know you,” he said. “For allyou protest, you love the feel of silk against your skin. You enjoy having apersonal maid to attend you.” He picked up the empty pitcher from thetable. “You love milk.” He laughed at her.Angel’s face was aflame. His expression was filled with malicious delightas he pressed her. “I used to watch the way you played the men who cameto you. Clay in your hands. They were besotted with you.”“And that gave you power over them.”“Yes, it did,” he readily admitted. “Great power.” He tipped her face uproughly. “I have missed you. I have missed the power you gave me becausethe men I brought to you fell under your spell, and when they did, theybelonged to me.”“You give me too much credit.”“No one could ever touch you.”“Michael did.” She saw the flash of rage in his dark eyes. Oddly, shewasn’t afraid. There was a stillness inside her. Just thinking about Michaelgave her courage, but she knew it wasn’t a courage that would last. Not onceDuke got started. He wasn’t like Magowan. He wouldn’t lose control, and hewould never kill her.Duke rose. “I’ll leave you for now, my dear. Rest. I’ll be back to talk withyou again. We have business to discuss. After all, you must earn your keep.”When he leaned down to kiss her, she turned her face away. His hardfingers clamped on her cheeks like a vice, forcing her head up. He kissedher hard. She felt no passion in him, nor did she see it when he drew back.He had tired of her in that way when she was a little older than Cherry.Duke paused at the door. “By the way, Angel, if your Michael comes foryou, I will kill him the same way I killed Johnny.” He smiled slightly. “AndI’m going to make you watch.” Her courage withered. He saw and smiledagain.Angel heard the key turn in the lock and sank down onto the bed.Duke didn’t come back the next day or the day after that. Cherry broughther food, and a guard made sure the door was locked when the girl left.397
R E D E E M I N G L O V EAngel knew what Duke was doing, but knowing didn’t help.Her nightmares returned.She was running, night closing around her. Heavy footsteps echoed inthe alley behind her. Before her were the docks, ships’ masts filling the horizon.She ran from one to another, pleading that they would let her comeaboard. “Sorry, ma’am. All filled up,” the sailors said, one after another.She ran down the last pier and saw below her a garbage scow. The ropeswere being untied. Looking back, she saw Duke. He was calling to her, hisdark voice pulling at her.Rats crawled over the refuse in the scow below her, feasting on rottingmeat and vegetables. The foul smell assaulted her senses, but she jumpedanyway and landed hard. Her hands sank into an oozing mass as ratssquealed and scurried in all directions. She almost fainted from the foulstench but clung tightly as the scow began to move. It pulled away from thedock just as Duke reached the end.“You can’t get away. You can’t get away, Angel.”Then he was gone, and she was in the middle of a storm-tossed sea.Waves crashed around her, splashing over the sides of the scow. She tried toclimb to a safer haven, but there was none. She pulled herself higher to getaway from the cold spray. When she reached the top, she saw Rab lying onhis back. The black cord was still around his neck, and rats were tearingaway his dead flesh. Crying out in fear, she slid down the heap again, huddlingin the farthest corner of the scow away from him.Shivering with cold, she covered her head. “I wish I was dead. I wish Iwas dead.…”“Darling, where is it?”Angel looked up and saw her mother standing before her, shimmering inwhite. “Where is it, darling? Where’s my rosary?”Angel scrambled over the heap, searching frantically. “I’ll find it, Mama!I’ll find it!” She saw something glimmer brightly and reached for it. “It’s here!Oh, it’s here, Mama.” The scow lurched violently and rose at one end,dumping garbage into the sea. Angel cried out, trying to reach her mother’srosary as she tumbled. Her fingertips just brushed the crucifix and beadsbefore it slipped away, spilling over the side into the turbulent sea. Angel felt398
