DARCY SAINT STOOD on a concrete dock in San Juan,
Puerto Rico, trying to avoid looking at the high-dollar video camera pointed
her direction. It was beyond awkward to realize every time she scratched
her nose it would be recorded and possibly showed to the world.
She used to have cameras on her occasionally as the wife of the wealthy
and prominent southern California businessman Johnathon Trattoria. She’d
never fit into that world, probably one of the reasons Johnny had been so
quick to divorce her. She didn’t miss the wealth, the pressures, or her ex.
He’d most likely cheated on her their entire marriage but had been caught
and exposed by his mistress’s husband in a very public display. Darcy had
been devastated initially, but the loss of baby Avalyn far outweighed any
mourning over her broken marriage.
Massive cruise ships were at port maybe half a mile away, but they
towered above the ocean and seemed much closer. Her dock was quiet, and
it wasn’t helping her nerves to hear the water gently lapping against the
concrete, seagulls squawking, and occasionally a dock worker calling to
another.
Four young men hovered on the sidewalk next to the dock. They studied
the quiet bay and snuck glances at her. She assumed they were workers
waiting for the same boat she was, but it added to the awkwardness of the
waiting period.
The billionaire heiress Mercedes Belle’s assistant Julie Pandoran had
picked her up at the San Juan Airport and taken her to a hotel suite where a
makeup artist and hair stylist made her look prettier than she ever had in her
life. She had been given a beautiful blue floral sundress and sandals to dress
in and brought here. Julie had taken her purse and phone, hugged Darcy and
wished her luck, and left her here. Alone. Except for the cameraman and
four young men, none of whom had said a word to her.
She wasn’t accustomed to being alone or the unnerving quiet. She was
used to a baby in her arms at all times and the sounds of babies and toddlers
laughing, crying, chattering, or babbling. How would she survive a week
without Samuel, Izzy, Missy, and all of her little ones?
A sleek, dark-blue yacht sliced through the calm bay and approached
her dock. It looked like something from a movie—beautiful, expensive,
imposing. It was a testament to how different her current life of serving
children in Tecate, Mexico was that a yacht easing toward her dock made
her feel out of her element. She and Johnny had owned a yacht, albeit a
quarter the size of this one, but she hadn’t gone out on it much. Now she
was far removed from such luxury. She didn’t miss the opulence or the
wasted time. Babies and a never-ending to do list were more her style.
Darcy fingered her locket, the only connection she’d ever had with her
deceased mother and now with her deceased daughter. Inside, her mother’s
image was engraved on the left and on the right Johnny had commissioned
an artist to sketch into the silver an engraving of Darcy holding Avalyn.
Her throat burned with withheld sorrow as she thought of all she’d lost.
