The call ended.Sebastian stared at his phone.Ivy watched his face."Who was that?"He didn't answer."Sebastian."His eyes lifted."Someone who knows too much."Rafael glanced at him through the mirror."About what?""Everything."Ivy's fingers tightened around Emily's bracelet."Tell me."Sebastian looked at her."I don't know who they are.""But they have Emily.""Yes.""And they know about you.""Yes.""Then what aren't you telling me?"His jaw tightened."Nothing that will help us find her."Ivy laughed once."That's exactly what you always say."Rafael's eyes flicked toward them."Now isn't the time.""When is it?" Ivy snapped.Her voice broke on the last word.She looked away immediately.Rafael said nothing.Sebastian's hand moved toward hers.She pulled away before he could touch her.His hand stopped in the air.Then slowly dropped."Don't."Her voice was barely audible.He nodded.The silence that followed felt heavier than the gunshots they'd just escaped.The car stopped

"Ivy."She froze.The voice was unmistakable.Emily stood a few feet away, one hand gripping the side of the car for support.Ivy's eyes widened."Emily?"Her sister took a step forward."I told you not to trust them."Ivy looked back toward the house.Sebastian was already moving."Stay there."Emily's eyes snapped toward him."No."Sebastian stopped.Rafael came out behind him, followed by Lucien and Jaxon.Emily's gaze moved across all four men.Then she looked at Ivy."Come here."Ivy didn't move."How did you get out?"Emily swallowed."I didn't."Ivy's brow furrowed."What?"Emily glanced toward the road."They let me go."A chill ran through Ivy."Who?""I don't know."Sebastian stepped closer."Whoever had you?"Emily nodded."Why would they release you?""I don't know."Sebastian's eyes narrowed."That's not good."Emily looked at him."No. It isn't."Ivy crossed the distance between them.She grabbed Emily's hands."Are you hurt?""No.""Did they touch you?""No.""Did they

Sebastian stood alone in the darkened room, the message still glowing on his phone.Let's see what you choose, Wolfe.His thumb hovered over the screen.Then he typed one word.Where?The reply came almost immediately.Ask Richard.Sebastian's jaw tightened.Of course.He slipped the phone into his pocket and headed upstairs.He found Ivy standing by the window.She turned when she heard him."What's wrong?""Nothing."She frowned."You're a terrible liar.""I know.""Then don't lie."He stopped a few feet away."Richard has Emily."Her face changed."What?""He wants you."She stared at him."Alive?""Yes.""And if I don't go?"Sebastian didn't answer.Her eyes filled."They'll kill her.""That's what they want you to believe.""You saw the message.""Yes.""Then what are we supposed to do?""Think."She laughed bitterly."Everyone keeps telling me to think while my sister is being held somewhere."Sebastian stepped closer."I'll get her.""How?""I'll find her.""And if you can't?"

Emily closed the bedroom door behind her.She leaned against it and shut her eyes.Richard's note was still in her hand.She unfolded it again.Keep her close.Her fingers trembled.She tore the paper in half.Then again.Again.Until the pieces fell into the wastebasket.A knock sounded."Ivy?"Emily quickly wiped her face."Come in."The door opened.Ivy stood there."You okay?"Emily nodded too quickly."Yeah."Ivy studied her."You've been acting strange."Emily looked away."I'm just tired."Ivy walked in and sat beside her."I know what Dad is doing."Emily's eyes lifted."Do you?""He's trying to make me come back."Emily nodded."Don't.""I haven't decided anything.""Then don't let him decide for you."Ivy looked at her sister."What would you do?"Emily swallowed."I'd choose the person who gives me a choice."The words settled between them.Ivy looked toward the door."Sebastian?"Emily nodded."He doesn't exactly give me a lot of choices.""But he lets you fight him."Ivy

Ivy woke to the smell of breakfast.For a few seconds, she forgot where she was.Then she opened her eyes.The familiar curtains.The old bookshelf.The photographs on the dresser.Home.She sat up slowly.Her hand rested against her stomach before she even realized what she was doing.She pulled it away.A knock sounded."Come in."Emily pushed the door open."Dad sent me."Ivy smiled."To wake me?""To make sure you actually eat."Ivy laughed softly."He's still doing that?""Apparently, you're still his troublesome daughter.""Apparently."Emily sat on the edge of the bed."You slept well.""Better than I have in days.""Good."Ivy looked at her sister."You really think Dad has changed?"Emily hesitated."I think he's trying."Ivy nodded slowly."Me too."The words surprised even her.Emily smiled."Then maybe that's enough for now."---Downstairs, Richard was waiting.He looked up when Ivy entered."There she is.""Good morning.""Good morning."He pulled out a chair."Sit."Ivy
