The boss looked down at me and frowned. “Stop struggling.”

I stopped. It wasn’t doing any good, anyway. He had a tight hold on me.

“Come on.”

Larry and friend each grabbed one of my arms and frog-marched me towards the elevator.

In the elevator I finally got a close look at the boss. He’d walked behind us, probably in case I tried to escape again. I knew this guy. I’d seen him somewhere, a long time ago. If only I could remember…

  • Too Late To Apologize, Mr. CEO   Chapter 116 - Claire’s POV

    Savannah lay curled up onto a ball, arms wrapped protectively around her belly. Every so often she’d give out a low, broken sob. I patted her shoulder helplessly. I’d had lots of experience with Savannah sobbing, but I’d never heard anything like this before. This sounded real. The van hit a pothole, jolting us around on the metal floor. It sent a jarring shock up my spine and pulled on the rope around my throat. Savannah let out a strangled scream.I moved closer to her and sat against her back, bracing myself.She moaned and tried to wriggle away from me. “Stop it,” I hissed. “I’m trying to keep us stabilized for the next pothole.” We were evidently navigating a poor area, because we started driving over pothole after pothole. Even the two thugs in the back of the van with us had to brace themselves. I glared at them. Assholes.After what seemed like hours we finally stopped. The door opened. “Out,” said the leader.One of the thugs grabbed my arm and started to yank me out of

    Her screams hurt my ears and her struggles pulled on the rope tying us together, cutting off my air, but I still felt sorry for Savannah. Derek’s decision seemed to come as a complete shock to her. It came as a shock to me too. Derek and I were friends now, but Savannah was carrying his unborn child. I winced as Savannah’s screaming hit a particularly high pitch. She seemed to be in a mentally delicate state as well.In the background I could hear Derek saying, “Hello? Hello? Just tell me how to set up the ransom and—”The boss cut the connection abruptly. “Babe. Babe,” he said to Savannah. “Settle down. Breathe. You’ll hurt the baby.” This was weird.He walked up to Savannah and leaned over her, patting her shoulder soothingly. “Savvie, sweetheart,” he continued. He was no longer speaking with the cold, disinterested tone of a kidnapper. His voice was tender. Possessive. “I told you how he is. He doesn’t deserve you.”She struck out at him with her bound hands, dragging me along w

    The boss looked down at me and frowned. “Stop struggling.” I stopped. It wasn’t doing any good, anyway. He had a tight hold on me. “Come on.” Larry and friend each grabbed one of my arms and frog-marched me towards the elevator. In the elevator I finally got a close look at the boss. He’d walked behind us, probably in case I tried to escape again. I knew this guy. I’d seen him somewhere, a long time ago. If only I could remember… It must have been a private elevator, because it let us out into an office. Which was much nicer than the last place I’d been kidnapped in. Plush carpet. Mahogany desk with Aeron chair. Cushy loveseat. Sitting on the loveseat, hands tied in front of her, was Savannah. Her clothing was rumpled and her hair was mussed, but she looked lovely, as usual. She was looking daggers at me, also as usual. Aha, I had it! I knew who the boss was. Seeing him here with Savannah had jogged my memory. It was the guy who’d accosted her in the restaurant when I’d met u

    “Whoa, you look amazing!” Madison came out from behind her desk to get a better look at my outfit. I twirled around in front of her admiring gaze. Althea had helped me pick out the clothes. We’d gone shopping together in London before I went back to the States. She had excellent taste and a good eye for outfits that expressed my personality. I looked elegant and professional, but still ever-so-slightly rakish and uncaring. I looked cool. I’d never looked cool before. And I needed the morale boost today, because I had to go in front of the board and defend our internship program. Kurt and I had figured out how Oliver was doing it. The investigation had led to the arrest of the assistant to the CFO of that company. Oliver was only fifteen, so he came back to us. I sighed. Adrian could have given him a stern talking-to and made him straighten up. In retrospect I should have been more suspicious about that. My heels made a tick-tock sound as I walked towards the boardroom. I squared

    Laura called me about ten minutes after I got home. “Hey, Derek has Emma tonight, right? Wanna go out?” She’d been resolutely cheerful and productive since she broke up with Ryan, but I could see through the cracks. “I’ve still got Ethan,” I reminded her. “Oh,” she said in a small voice.“I can go to Mason’s.” Ethan was in the kitchen raiding the fridge again. “His mom said I can come over for dinner anytime I want.” I smiled at him and ruffled his hair. He’d come such a long way since I first met him. I was so proud of him. Even with everything that had happened, he was growing and thriving. We sorted out our dinner schedules and I met Laura for happy hour at our local pub. Yes, we had a local pub. They served English beer and English food. Laura opened her mouth when she saw me and I glared at her. “Don’t say it.” I sat down and picked up a menu. “Okay.” She ducked her head meekly. Something was seriously wrong. I’d expected a sassy remark addressed to “her ladyship.” Lau

    “Got some photos for you, babe.” Victor clicked something on his phone.My phone beeped. I picked it up and swiped through the photos he’d sent me. Claire getting into her car. Going into her office. Chatting with Derek.I frowned. He was gazing down at her, smiling, a tender look in his eyes. He wasn’t supposed to look at her like that, goddammit! That expression was reserved for me! I threw my phone across the room.Victor reached out and plucked it from the air. “Now, now, babe,” he said. “I understand things are tough right now in that beautiful brain of yours. Preggo hormones and whatnot. But I’ve already replaced your phone twice this week. That’s enough.”I glared at him. If it wasn’t so hard for me to get up, I’d waddle across the room and slap him in the face. “You want some strawberries?” he asked solicitously. “Chocolate?”“Herring.” I leaned back and put my feet up. “Aw man, do you have to?” he said. In someone less intimidating it would have been a whine.“Yes. Yes, I

    “Mister Arden.” Detective Lowinsky looked tired and depressed as usual. I’d expected him to look happier. After all, he’d caught the bad guy. “Please, call me Derek,” I said. “So did he tell you who hired him?”“Unfortunately not.” He beckoned me to follow and led me down a hallway. “You know,

    I leaned against the wall, legs trembling with nervous reaction. Tonight was supposed to be my triumph. And indeed things were going well. Unfortunately, that had upset both my sister and my ex-husband, and they’d felt the need to make their feelings my problem. Now I was stressed out and exhausted

    Mrs. Sutton was packing up the last of the vanity, neatly placing Savannah’s expensive skincare serums in a box. She kept her face neutral and professional, but my housekeeper had never liked Savannah. I could see the satisfaction in the way she wrapped the tape around the boxes, sharp and final.

    I walked back into the ballroom, ignoring the music and the high society donors in their best formal wear. I was looking for a waiter. Spotting one across the room and heading over, I nabbed a glass of champagne and gulped it down. The next glass received the same treatment. Then I picked up a glas
