You ever talk like that about her again, and I’ll shove the words back down your throat with my fucking fist.” “How long’s it been since she spread those long, tanned legs for you? Because I could swear I saw God tonight.”ĭe Vere lurches toward me, liquor spilling onto the marble floor from the open bottle. The predictable answer would be that can be arranged, but I take another avenue. Not unless it’s over my fucking dead body.” “You can try to take every fucking thing from me, Forge, but you won’t get her. She told me,” he says with a condescending chin lift, and my fists clench at the thought of him cornering her after Goliath intruded. He’s the epitome of everything I hate, even if he hadn’t killed the only person who meant a damn thing to me in this entire world.

I meet her blue gaze, and even though the thought makes my stomach churn like the waves crashing along the shore, I tell her, “Give me a few days. In the meantime, I’m going to start the process to sell my flat. We have to.” She drags in two more deep breaths. The call ends, and Alanna’s bottom lip trembles as tears slide down her cheeks. Because you don’t want to think about what is going to happen to Summer if you do not. Maybe you can remind India exactly how much time she has left.” Good that you hear my warning, so I don’t repeat myself. Clark.”Īlanna slaps a hand over her mouth, muffling her groan. I’ll send her back to you in a box for you to reassemble for burial.

If you think about going to the police or Interpol, I won’t even bother to sell your pretty sister.

“You think I don’t know every move you make, Ms. My guess is they’re somewhere in Northern Africa, but they could be next door for all I know. His laugh crackles, like the connection isn’t very good, and again, I wonder where the fuck they’re holding Summer.
