CHAPTER 34-MAKING PLANS-CONNER

Later that morning, Conner spoke to his father. Merina was in the shower and still unhappy that she couldn’t leave.

“Have you come to your senses, Conner, and seen the logic behind you marrying Merina?” Ian asked Conner as they sat down to share a coffee in the main living area after a late breakfast. Ian had come knocking and interrupted Conner by entertaining himself with Merina again. Both avoided discussing his activities in the suite’s bedroom.

“Yes, I have. I see potential. But not for the same reasons. But I’m thinking it would be best that we keep her identity quiet and the marriage, too. If Gabriella or Joseph discover we’re married, one or both will do something crazy against us. I want to catch them red-handed, but I don’t feel like paying a permanent price.” Conner said to his father. With time, it appeared as a superior and more secure plan. They’d not discussed how Merina possessed the training and experience to do the job they needed.
