I raise my head to meet her eyes. “The only way to keep us all safe,” I say, nodding lightly. “Mom threatened Kent if we didn’t give her to Bianci. So,” I shrug weakly. “We are giving her to Bianci instead.” Janeen stares at me with her mouth open, shocked and I think a little…

“Yeah,” I say, considering that that’s probably true. “But I did have you kidnapped and tied into a chair to do it. Plus,” I turn his head a little and eye the bruise starting on his cheek that matches Jerome’s. “Looks like my husband got a little rough with you, didn’t he?” Ivan sputters a…

I groan as the contraction hits in full force, clinging to Janeen’s shoulder as I bend over at the pain of it, somehow feeling some kind of relief when I’m bent in half – Honestly, I don’t know – nothing makes sense right now, my whole body is groaning with the pain of it –…

Ivan slumps as much as he can, tied into his chair at the ankles and the wrists. “Took him down once, didn’t I?” he murmurs, and I smirk because – well, he’s right. My mom – she’s underestimating Ivan like Kent once did, which is not a good choice in the long run. “Victoria…” Kent…

“Fine,” she scowls, sighing and following Kent as he moves down the hall. “Though I’d like to remind you that my backup is here, and that if I don’t come out of this house in one hour –” “You are perfectly safe with us,” Kent murmurs as he opens the last door on the right…
