She might have as well walked into a fucking lion's den. Jade kept her eyes on the road, constantly wiping her sweaty palms against the fabric of her red tailored suit pants. She did not stop walking until she got to the door of his office. She would have bothered to knock if the door had not already been opened. So, she allowed herself to slip past the door like an eel dipped in jelly. Just as she expected, Lake was seated on his chair. His onyx orbs were buried into the screen of the laptop in front of him while his right hand furiously scribbled into a notepad by his side, his left hand typed away on the keys of his keyboard.

“It’s business. You leave now.” Aria stood up. Her legs felt weak. She didn't say goodbye. She walked to the elevator, her back straight, refusing to cry. She was the invisible sister.

"Enforcers see blood and a note, and they stop thinking." "But Nathan knows me! He knows I couldn't do this!" "He’s blinded by Madeline," she said softly. "He always has been." I stopped pacing. "Fine. Let's assume I did it. Where would I put her? I don't have a cent that doesn't come from Nathan. I don't have a car they can't track." Odette stood up, her eyes bright. "The Lake House."

"She still thinks I'm her brother,"

I said, then turned back to my plate to eat. “That’s right…Lunar Lake is on your property. That’s the watering hole for the wolves. You might want to stay clear of that part of the property.” Sherry bought out more fish and placed it in front of us, but I just stared at the basket. “It’s an all-you-can-eat fish fry,” Tyler said as he took two pieces of fish from the basket and placed them on his plate.

Kelliann carefully walked the bike across the soft ground and heeled it over on the small concrete walkway that led from the front steps of the cabin down through the shady side yard and to the surprisingly deep lake that lay dreaming under the trees. A smile played across her lips as she thought of the times she had spent in that water. She got off the bike carefully and a frown creased her pale forehead as the sound of a bike came through the treeline and into her small space.

The tourists and summer families always fled before

“Your pain will be eased.” I looked at him with curiosity, even more enchanted by his presence as we approached the 'Lake of the Lunar Goddess.' The lake, surrounded by tall rocks and ancient trees, was a sanctuary of tranquility. As we got closer, the soft murmur of the water seemed like a secret whispered by the moon goddess, full of love and magic.
