"Summer," he growled low. “Don’t turn your back on your sister.”

"No!" I struggled to get out of his arms, but his hold was too tight.

"Stupid girl. Your mother would hate to see you so pathetic."

I lost all meaning of time and space, wishing I could have done more for Callie, but I trusted Rook or Amara to get her to safety.

She would get away from these men.

That was all I could do.

I wouldn’t betray Rook. I had to keep him safe.

My mother would want me to protect the ones I loved.

Because I fucking loved the man.

“No!” I screamed. “I won’t help you!”

The world tilted on its axis. Time became disjointed. I was suffocating. Panicked. Heart pounding so loud.

Opening another bag, Saul pulled out a chainsaw. Harrison’s eyes gleamed with glee. The chanting in the background had begun again, except now it was a higher fever-pitch. Frenetic.

I was about to die.

I was going to die.

I couldn’t breathe.

"Callie," I choked out, wishing I had done more for her. I closed my eyes. There was a new man’s voice. Arguing. I couldn't tell who. The panic was too strong.

I was suddenly let go.

Once more, I fell to the ground.

There was a new set of shoes.

My heart leapt. Rook! He'd come to save me.

Blinking, I looked up at my savior.

There was something wrong. It wasn't Rook, but....

... “Terrance?”

I could hear his voice, and it took a moment for my jumbled mind to understand what he was saying. "A substantial portion of her inheritance has been recovered, and the fee will come from that."

"How do I know you're not lying?" Saul asked him.

"Summer, get up,” Maxon pulled me upwards. “Be strong. Stand on your feet.

"Where's Rook?" I had a sudden fear that they'd taken him too. That he was in just as much danger as me.

Maxon pursed his lips, his expression unreadable. "He's safe, for now. Thanks to you." He said this like it wasn't a good thing.

"I have the right to decide the consequences," Saul yelled, his emotions finally unraveling.

"The fee has already been paid," Terrance chimed in, pulling out his phone and showing it to him.
