Chadwick's Rare Find (An Intriguing Romance Novel) Read Online Free

frowned as she thought of Amber and what she would do to poor Chadwick.  Why was she feeling so sorry for him? He had made the mistakes.  If he had let her make the phone calls.....Oh, who was she kidding?  She would not have thought to call the police either.  Shrugging her shoulders, she got her appointment book out and settled down at the, now clean, kitchen table to call her clients.  She had four people on her list for today.  She would call the office and see if she could get Susan to take care of them.  Susan’s clientele was not as extensive as hers and she had expressed a desire to fill in for Brittany when she could not meet her appointments.  Of course, Brittany couldn’t meet them today, because she had no car.   The first order of business was to make sure Susan was available.  She was.  The next thing she had to do was call each client and find out if a substitute masseuse was acceptable or if they would rather cancel.  All four clients chose to cancel.  After making another call to Susan, Brittany slumped in her chair and envisioned Chadwick’s face again.  He really was very handsome.  It was too bad he was wealthy.  All three Bradfield girls distrusted wealthy people.  It could easily be said that Amber had more than distrust for the wealthy. She had pure, unadulterated hate for them. This was the only prejudice they had. Neither nationality nor skin color mattered.  The only thing that mattered was status.  Wealthy people aroused hostile feelings within the Bradfields.  The Bradfield girls knew from a very painful personal experience that wealthy people could be the cruelest and most soulless people on the earth.  Woe for Chadwick when Amber found out who and where he was.

     Chadwick could not help but laugh at his sisters.  They were mad at him.  He wasn't the one who had decieved them. They did it to themselves.  
    “You guys think too much.  Instead of listening and taking a person at word value, you draw conclusions or should I say, you make assumptions.  All I said was that I had the accident with the woman that I was going to marry.”  
    Adanna sipped on her fresh squeezed orange juice and made a sound of disgust as she rolled her eyes at Chadwick. “Don’t talk to us as if we are the idiots.  You’re the idiot.  You don’t even know her last name or any other piece of information about her other than she smells good, has long legs, cat eyes, and detests you.  Yet, you sat there in the bed and told us you were going to marry her.”  
    “I am.”  He said this so quietly and with such conviction that a bolt of alarm went through Vana.  She loved her big brother dearly.  He was the sweetest person she had ever known in her thirty years and she considered herself blessed that he was her brother.  She knew him inside and out and those two simple words had her ready to find this Brittany person and drag her to the altar at gunpoint.  
    “Now Chadwick, you can’t go about your personal relationships like you would with business or shopping.  She has to be willing to marry you.  She has to at least like you. These type things have to go through a course and sometimes even then don’t have the results we want.  Please don’t be so determined about this woman.  You’re scaring me.”  Vana put all her heart into this plea only to see the steel in his eyes, which made Chadwick the “stubborn one” in the family.  Vana had been told the story about the eye patch countless times, but it came to mind now with a flourish. 
    Once when Chadwick was a little boy, no more than five or six, he had decided he would be a pirate and took to wearing a black patch over his right eye.  When it came time for them to take their family portrait, he would not take it off.   Even after their mother and father had talked to him, he would not budge.  So, they took it from him.  He cried loud angry tears all the way to the studio.  When they got ready to take the
