Weeping Willows: A Thrilling Mystery Novella (Dark Desires Book 1)

CHAPTER 6 -

  The light in the window went out. The cottage looked deserted but the man knew better. She was probably settling down for the night. The stillness was unusual even for her. He'd been watching from a distance as he always did. She'd looked so forlorn and lost, he noticed the deep black shadows beneath her eyes. Her friends’ disappearance was taking its toll. He'd expected that.

  He believed in his heart that it was necessary. He thought that she of all people should be happy to be rid of someone troublesome. He felt that he had done her a huge favor. God knew, the green eyed witch had been an obstacle. He had dealt with her effectively and with her out of the way, the girl would be all his.

  He'd been waiting for a long time, a very long time. It would be soon now. Of that he was sure. He got into the vehicle feeling elated at how well things were going for him. Cloaked in the security of darkness, his mind began racing, plotting, making plans on his next move. He considered himself superior, very smart, he'd covered his tracks very well. It would be a few more days before she would be found. That bought him some time, a sleepy town's law enforcement moved at a snail’s pace in keeping with their laid back lifestyle.

  He whistled to his favorite tune feeling enormously pleased with himself. He had plans alright, major plans. A wicked smiled tilted at the corners of his mouth as he glanced at himself in the rearview mirror. He thought of himself as brilliant, a master of his own destiny!
