My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

"Josiah?" I asked, already feeling like my hunch was not far off the mark.

He shrugged. "Truthfully, I didn't intend to kidnap you at first because the cost was too high and I couldn't really bring myself to do it. After all, as long as the chairman of Alford Audit had a talk with you, things would've been fine. So, kidnapping you was not the best option."

I nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"But Josiah took the initiative to come to us. He said that he wanted to work with us when in truth, he mainly just wanted to work with Valerie. As I've been working with Valerie for several years, he used the Saunders family's audits over the next decade to lock in work with me. This meant that I not only got part of the Roberts Group's audit job, but I could even work with the notorious Saunders family for the next ten years. So, I agreed."

These were all well within my predictions and guessing, so it didn't really take me by surprise. I looked at him considerably calmly and asked, "What was Josiah's goal in doing so?"

He thought about it, shook his head, and said, "I don't know. When he worked with me, he just said that he couldn't hurt you. After our discussion on the auction, everything after that was set up by him. I wasn't really involved in it."
