Chapter One

“Jace! I'm sorry.” I winced in pain at being slammed into a table.“Will you do it or not?” he threatened, glaring daggers at me.“I-I don't, I can't, Jace, we can't continue—” A loud smack rang across the room, and my face snapped to the side.A loud, ugly sob ripped past my throat as I slid onto the floor weakly, my hand supporting my tiny bump through my dress.Jace’s eyes followed my movement, and I watched as he stared daggers at my belly. Then his fierce glare returned to my eyes, shining with a newfound anger.“Why does your belly look that way?” Jace growled out.“W-what way?” I asked, looking everywhere but at him.“Like—you are—, you cannot be, right?” Jace chuckled bitterly, shaking his head like he was beginning to lose his patience with me.“I-I don't k-know what you mean,” I stuttered, holding my breath and praying he’d let this go.His eyes moved to my belly again. I let out a loud yelp as he yanked me roughly towards himself. He snatched my dress up with no care in th

Chapter Two

I stood between trees in a lonely forest in the middle of nowhere, knowing Jace and his men stood at the opposite side, hiding behind trees.I shakily ruffled my hair to look rough— a little undone but still alluring.The sound of approaching engines had my heart slamming against my chest at an irregular rate. I let out a loud breath, pressing a hand against my belly and praying I wouldn't get myself killed with the stunt I was about to pull.If these men were anything like Jace and his crew, then they wouldn’t be that hard to fool.I started to race into the middle of the road, throwing my head behind me like I was being chased, tears staining my eyes, letting the black mascara Jace made me apply run down my face as I threw myself in front of the black, sleek, shiny car like I didn’t see it coming.I shut my eyes tightly as tires came to a screeching halt. This time, the horrified pants leaving my mouth were beyond real. Doors flung open, and three men in identical black suits walked

Chapter Three

"It's nothing, I'll be right back," I whispered to a frightened Lauryn beside me.I managed to uncurl her limbs from around my body before climbing out of the bed.I shut the door securely behind me. The voices of the men were all raised downstairs."Do you know what you have just done?" I heard Jimmy's voice scream as I headed down the stairs of our small home, dread sinking into my skin."Oh, stop exaggerating, Jimmy. It can't be that bad, and he won't kill us—not when we have his daughter," my husband's voice drawled in mockery at his friend."You just kidnapped the daughter of a madman, Jace. This could all be some kind of setup. Why else would you get some random anonymous tip to kidnap a little girl from her school trip for ten million? Think, you idiot—it was all too easy, Jace." Jimmy paused, taking in a large breath. "These are powerful and dangerous people you do not want to mess with in your lifetime. We are talking about the De La Rosas," Jimmy all but panted as I finally

Chapter Four

I awoke to a world that didn't feel like mine.I felt a new kind of different, and it was nothing compared to the last time this had happened.I had no desire to live on, no reason to fight for my life. I felt numb—except for the anxiety stuck in the center of my throat that I couldn't shake off. Something told me so much worse could happen to me than my imminent death.Since I regained consciousness an hour ago, I'd tried my hardest not to remember Jace's lifeless eyes. I wanted to pretend the last twenty-four hours had only been a dream and never happened.And that the blindfold against my eyes and my left feet being chained to the bed I was laid upon were also only a figment of my imagination.A door slammed open, causing me to flinch and stiffen. I tightened my closed eyes at the sound of footsteps walking into the room.One was fast and loud; the other was slow, deliberate, and carried weight—telling me that even the sound of his footsteps mattered. My blood rushed loudly in my e
