His aristocratic Spanish face hardened with contempt. He could raise that kind of money if he wanted to, and he owes you.вЂќ вЂњRamon,вЂќ Roger said urgently, вЂњyou have to see Sid Green while youвЂ™re here. It would only help.вЂќ Slamming his glass down on the marble table beside him, Ramon turned and started toward the guest room he had been occupying since his arrival in St. вЂњFifty million?вЂќ Roger said blankly, staring at the man he had known since they were both students at Harvard University. The transformation was startling, softening the features of a face that lately looked as if it had been cast in bronze by an artist intent on portraying cold, ruthless determination and ancient Spanish nobility. How much do you need? If I donвЂ™t have it all, maybe I can raise the rest.вЂќДЇor the first time, a glint of humor touched Ramon GalverraвЂ™s finely sculpted mouth and arrogant dark eyes. вЂњI havenвЂ™t brought this up before because I knew your pride would be offended, but IвЂ™m a long way from being poor, you know that. вЂњNow they are empty,вЂќ Ramon replied with a shrug of broad, muscled shoulders on his six-foot-three-inch frame. Until the day he died, he held the controlling interest in the corporation.

вЂњHow were you supposed to recognize that a man who always acted like he was God Almighty, one day started believing it? And what could you have done if youвЂ™d known? The stock was in his name, not yours. вЂњNot recognizing the-вЂќ Roger repeated furiously. вЂњThey blame me for not preventing him from making fatal mistakes, and for not recognizing the fact of his incompetence in time.вЂќ For a moment he stared at the remaining Scotch in his glass, then he tipped it up to his mouth and drained it. Turning from the windows, Ramon leaned a shoulder against the frame. How can they blame you for his mistakes and incompetence?вЂќ вЂњI was so certain, so absolutely certain, that when you explained about the state of your fatherвЂ™s mental health before he died the bankers would stand by you. Roger snapped on a lamp, then scowled at the magnificent Louis XIV furnishings, as if their presence in his spacious living room offended him. вЂњIf the money was still pouring in, they would still be with me.вЂќ вЂњThey have not changed,вЂќ Ramon said grimly. вЂњThey sure as hell stayed with you when the money was pouring in,вЂќ he gritted as he splashed bourbon into a glass. In angry frustration, he raked his hand through his blond hair, then turned and headed determinedly for the row of crystal decanters on the bar. вЂњThey decided to look out for themselves.вЂќ вЂњThey decided what bankers always decide,вЂќ Ramon said harshly, without turning. Bitterness and resignation were evident in Ramon GalverraвЂ™s abrupt movements as he jerked the knot of his tie loose, then raised his glass of Scotch to his mouth, drinking deeply.Д«ehind him, a blond man strode quickly into the dimly lit living room.
