ELRIC’S POV

Rain against the window is the first thing I hear when I wake up. For a few seconds, I don’t know where I am.

Then everything comes back crashing on me and I remember: my father is dead. I have to plan his funeral.

The safe house is quiet.

I could hear someone moving around in the kitchen ... .dishes, the low murmur of a voice but I didn't go in.

I can’t stand the look in their eyes. I didn't need their pity. My father was not really loved; he was a tyrant who met his end.

    Leah POVI stood in front of the mirror staring at my reflection and trying to convince myself that everything was going to be okay.The dress Ethan had brought me was beautiful. It was long and elegant, the kind of dress I probably would have loved under completely different circumstances.The fabric fell softly around my body, and the fitted waist made it look as though it had been chosen specifically for me.But I hated it because I knew exactly why Ethan wanted me to wear it. There was nothing romantic about getting dressed for a man who had kidnapped me and threatened the people I loved.He had already shown me the explosives in the basement of Nona's house and I had seen them with my own eyes.That was enough to make me cooperate even though every part of me wanted to fight him. I couldn't take the chance that he was bluffing when Nona, Emily, Jeremy, Damien, and everyone else could be inside that house.I looked at myself one last time before turning away from the mirror.I was

    Leah POV I barely slept after Ethan left me alone the previous night. I spent most of the night sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at the locked door and trying to think of a way out of the room. Every idea I came up with seemed impossible because the door was locked from the outside, the windows wouldn't open, and I didn't have my phone. The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became but I refused to let myself panic. I'm sure Damien was looking for me. I knew he was. There was no way he would simply give up and go to sleep as though nothing had happened. He would be searching for me and if there was even the smallest chance of finding me, he would take it. I had to believe that. The next morning while still lying in bed I heard the turning. I immediately looked toward the door, wondering what Ethan wanted this time. When the door opened, he walked inside carrying a dress in his hands. It was a beautiful dress, long and elegant . He held it out to me as t

    Damien POV I didn't sleep a wink last night. I couldn't stop pacing around my room, checking my phone every few minutes and calling Marcus almost every ten minutes to ask if he had found anything. Every time he answered, I hoped he would finally tell me he had found Leah, but he still had nothing for me. Jeremy, Emily, and Sophia had eventually fallen asleep bundled up together in my bed, but I couldn't bring myself to sleep. How could I close my eyes when Leah was somewhere out there and I had no idea what had happened to her? I kept thinking about the moment I saw that man dragging her toward the SUV. I could still hear myself screaming her name as I ran after the vehicle, knowing there was nothing I could do once it disappeared. I was standing near the window, staring outside with my phone in my hand when it finally rang. Marcus. I answered immediately. “Tell me you found something.” “I did,” he said. “The car is registered under Cole Holdings.” My heart started poundin

    Leah POV The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the pounding headache that made it difficult to think clearly. I groaned softly and brought my hand to my forehead trying to understand why my entire body felt so weak. For a few seconds, I simply lay there with my eyes closed, hoping the pain would ease but instead it seemed to become worse with every passing second. When I finally opened my eyes again, I stared at the unfamiliar ceiling above me. I frowned as I slowly pushed myself up and looked around the room. I was lying on a large bed in a bedroom I had never seen before. The walls were painted a soft cream color and there was a large wardrobe against one wall with a small table and lamp beside the bed. A few framed pictures hung on the opposite wall, while long curtains covered a large window. Everything looked normal and that was what confused me the most. I expected to wake up somewhere dark and frightening somewhere that would immediately tell me that I w

    Damien POV As I changed into my pajamas, I couldn't help but smile. We've come so far. After everything we've been through, I couldn't wait for our forever to begin. Picking up my phone, I dialed Marcus's number. He picked up on the first ring. “Sir.” “Marcus, sorry for calling so late, but I need you to make some arrangements. I want to see Debóur. I want to get a custom ring for Leah commissioned,” I said as I sat on the edge of the bed. “Of course, sir. I'll make the arrangements first thing tomorrow morning,” Marcus said almost immediately. “Thank you.” I ended the call and placed my phone on the bedside table. Lifting the covers, I got into bed. I couldn't wait to see Leah's face when she heard about the ring. I should have done this a long time ago. Using Rose's ring had definitely been a bad idea. The more I thought about it, the more I realized how badly I had handled everything. Leah had never asked for Rose's ring. She had never asked me to give her something that

    Leah POV “Okay, this was fun. Thank you, Nona. Let's do this again,” I said, standing up to pick up the plate but Nona was faster and got to it first. “Leave it. I'll take care of it,” she said, taking the plate from me. “No Nona let me” I began but he snatched the plate out of my hands and pushed me towards the sofa. “You've done so much my sweet girl rest ok” I smiled at her “Okay, Nona” before jumping onto the sofa. Looking around the room I couldn't help but smile. Sophie was already half asleep on the couch while Emily was cuddled in Jeremy's arms, pretending not to notice the death glares Nona was giving her. She was old school and wasn't a fan of unmarried couples being intimate which I found funny because from the stories Damien had told me, Rose had been pregnant before they got married. Emily caught me looking at her and smiled. “What?” “Nothing,” I replied, trying not to laugh. Nona immediately pointed toward the stairs. “Emily, it's getting late.” Emily sighed a
