Sultry in Stilettos
“Shit. Two days had gone by, and he could still taste the ash on his tongue. Ricca had him on suicide watch or something. She texted every few hours to see if he wanted to go out or get out of the office. Braedon kept calling too, but Beckett’s brother couldn’t seem to find any words, so they sat in silence until one of them hung up.
Beckett scrubbed his hands over his face. He had a huge decision to make. If he kept on this path and tried to rebuild, he'd need a lot more money. Insurance would ...cover some of their costs, but after talking to the adjusters, they would be starting from scratch, the damage was so extensive. The bank wouldn’t give him that kind of loan, and Braedon, like Beckett, had already sunk all his cash into that building.
Bitter disappointment, anger, and the gnawing failure clenched at his gut. He’d let their mother down.
All this work and they would have to start all over again.
He didn’t want to think about it. He'd made such a fucking mess of things. The building.MoreLess
