Evelyn's gaze bounced between Sean and the vehicle. Confusion slowly turning into disbelief.Meanwhile Rowan looked equally stunned because one question suddenly appeared in his head. A very important question.How exactly could a so called street thug afford a car like that?The engine started, smooth, powerful, expensive and as the sports car pulled away from the curb, neither Rowan nor Evelyn noticed the security guards exchanging amused looks nearby. Because unlike them the guards knew exactly who Sean Vale was and if Rowan thought today had been humiliating, the truth was going to hurt a whole lot more.For the first few minutes neither of them spoke. The city lights were beginning to come alive while traffic slowly thickened around them then Sean glanced sideways at her. "You alright?"Shannon looked away from the window. "Why wouldn't I be?"Sean raised a brow. "Rowan and Evelyn."Immediately Shannon groaned. "Oh my God."Then she dramatically leaned back into the seat. "Can we

Shannon took it then held it against herself then frowned. Then she held it up again then frowned harder. "This could fit two of me."Sean looked completely unapologetic.Meanwhile Shannon disappeared into a nearby dressing room. A few minutes later she emerged again having improvised.The shirt had been adjusted and tied neatly at the back. The oversized fit somehow looked intentional now. The shorts sat comfortably while the modified top gave the outfit a sportier look.Meanwhile Sean stepped out shortly afterward having changed as well and for a moment Shannon forgot what she was about to say. Because seeing him dressed like that, different, dangerous, the look suited him entirely too well.Sean noticed her staring. "What?"Shannon blinked then pointed. "That."Sean looked down at himself. "What about it?""You look good."The compliment came out immediately.Sean smiled then leaned down and pressed a brief kiss against her forehead. The simple gesture somehow made Shannon blush mo

The car finally stopped upside down, broken and crushed. Smoke curled from the ruined vehicle. For several seconds Shannon couldn't hear anything except the ringing in her ears then reality slowly returned.Her breathing, the smell of fuel, the taste of blood and Sean."Sean!" Her voice broke immediately.She turned toward him. Fear instantly flooded her chest because Sean wasn't responding. Blood ran down the side of his face and his eyes remained closed."Sean!" She reached for him desperately. Nothing, no response.The seatbelt dug painfully into her body but she barely noticed. "Sean, wake up."Still nothing. Her hands trembled.The entire vehicle had folded around them. Metal trapped them in place. There was no way out.Meanwhile several hundred meters away, Ben slammed on his brakes. His car skidded violently before coming to a stop. For a moment he simply stared unable to process what he'd just seen.The overturned vehicle, the smoke, the destruction, the silence. "No..."The w

The leader stood near the window arms folded expression cold. For several seconds nobody spoke then, "What happened?"The question sounded simple but Ben almost pissed himself because suddenly he understood exactly who these people worked for. Ryxx, Sean or whatever his real name was.These were his people and they looked ready to bury someone.Ben immediately raised both hands. "It wasn't me."The room remained silent."It wasn't me." His voice cracked this time. "I swear."The leader took a step forward. "What happened?"Ben swallowed hard then started talking. Everything came pouring out. The race, the challenge, the first collision, the second vehicle, the crash, the explosion, the men, the guns, the kidnapping. Every detail. Every second.Meanwhile the room became quieter and quieter. The more Ben spoke, the worse their expressions became."They weren't racers?"Ben shook his head rapidly. "No.""How many?""Two.""Armed?""Yes."The leader's jaw tightened. Ben continued. "They

The name meant absolutely nothing to Shannon. No recognition appeared, no reaction, nothing and somehow that seemed to hurt him.A flicker of sadness crossed his face then unexpectedly he apologized. "I'm sorry."The words stunned everyone because Kennedy Miles apologizing to anyone was unheard of.Meanwhile Shannon looked equally confused. "What?""I'm sorry. For bringing you here this way."The confusion only grew because none of this made sense. The kidnapping, the crash, the apology, none of it fit together.Kennedy looked toward the house then back at her. "You're a guest here."Shannon almost laughed. A guest? Guests weren't kidnapped, guests weren't tied up and thrown onto private jets but before she could argue, another thought hit her. Sean.Immediately she stepped forward. "What about Sean? Is he alive?""Yes. He's alive."Shannon's entire body relaxed, enough that she could breathe again. Tears immediately threatened her eyes.Meanwhile Kennedy watched the reaction carefull
