Chapter 131

"You know Imogen will want to leave as soon as possible," I said to Ridge as we made our way up the stairs to the second floor of the bed-and-breakfast. He’d given me the details of the plan even though I told him to wait until we were with Imogen.

I’d offered myself up as bait to lure Bernard out of hiding. They might have been looking for Corbin, but I wouldn’t let my brother risk his life to save my future mother-in-law. I wasn’t looking forward to becoming literal bait, but I wanted to be the one who jumped in and saved the day for my future family.

I peeked my head into the hotel room before swinging the door open to make sure Imogen was decent before she met Ridge. What the hell? She wasn’t there.

"Beautiful?" I called, but no one answered.
