Chapter Twenty

Tempest

Four hours later, I’m on my way to the airport with one of his security guys and I can’t stop replaying the past twenty-four hours in my head.

He didn’t freak out at the possibility of my pregnancy. He didn’t get mad or tell me to abort. He told me he’d support me. He says I’m his weakness.

I love him. Despite the shit he’s in. And Maddox… I’m so worried for him I wish he’d answer his phone.

It’s my number now, surely he should recognize it? He knows I have nothing to do with this. What if they already have him?

I push that thought away and chew on my nail bed again. A bad habit I’ve picked up lately and intend to stop doing as soon as I’m out of the country.

It hasn’t sunk in yet. I really don’t want to leave but what choice do I have? He’s right. I’ll just complicate the situation.

So why has he just texted me?

Sargent: You can come back home. It’s done. They have their guy.
