I bite my lip eagerly. “We could keep it simple, start small. Figure out how to get
our passports, or get convincing passports made. Then, the next thing we need
is cash. I have nothing,” I say, but then my eyes catch on the million—dollar
diamond I'm wearing on my hand. “Or, well, I have some of this jewelry his dad
gave me.”

He frowns at the ring on my finger, remembering—of course — that it was his
mother’s. I quickly put my hand over it.

“Not this one,” I say gently. “This one, we keep. But there are

sapphires, other jewels. Just like... sitting in my room.”

He pauses for a moment, looking at me seriously, and then he

whispers his answer.

“Okay, Fay,” he says, very, very quietly. “I'm not saying let's go. I'm just saying...
let's look and see. We'll look into how hard it is to get the documents. Then, once
we know more... we'll talk again.”

I can't help but give a little squeal of joy, and he smiles at my

excitement.

“Okay!” I exclaim. “Um, I don’t even have a passport though—-do

you think we can get one?”

He considers it for a moment, opening his mouth to answer, when

suddenly the door to the patio flies open, banging hard against

the stone wall of the house. I gasp, turning sharply to look at Kent, standing
there, seething, his hands clenched in fists at his side.

Both Daniel and I go silent, frozen in our seats. This is bad.

“What the hell,” Kent says, striding forward and putting out his

open hand between us. “Is this?”

I instantly recognize it.

Shit. Shit.

In Kent's hand is the folded note that Fiona had given me for Alden, that cryptic
poem inside. It's been opened — clearly, Kent has read it — but it still has the tape
on it, the same I used to stick it

to the back of the desk.

Suddenly seized with fear, I raise my eyes from Kent's hand to hist face. I don’t
say a word.

In response, Kent just grabs my arm, pulling me up out of my chair and along
with him back into the house. He's angry, of course, but his grip doesn’t hurt me.
He's still firmly in control.

“Dad!” Daniel calls after him, coming into the house as well. “Stop! What's
happening! What did she-"

“No,” Kent says, turning to look firmly at his son. “You stay here.”

Daniel stops in his tracks, seeing the look on his father’s face. Still,

he tries once more.

“Dad, let her go- don’t do this —”

“You stay here. If you kept your woman in line,” Kent says, his

voice dangerous, “then I wouldn't have to do this.”

With that, he again storms forward, dragging me behind him

across the kitchen. Towards that small white door in the corner.

My blood goes cold when I see where we're heading.

“No,” I say, finding my voice, throwing my weight back, digging

my heels into the tiled floor. “Please, no!”

He ignores me, continuing to move forward, tugging me once so

that I lose my balance and have to stumble after him-

Then, we're through the door — heading down the stairs —

Down the little dim hallway, towards...
