“I can’t do this,” he says, catching me off guard. I don’t know if I can trust him, but this would be so much easier if he came along easily.
“You’re in love with someone, aren’t you?” Now it’s him who’s caught off guard. “Me, too.” His body relaxes at my words.
“You can come with me, but you can never come back. You’ll be leaving this life behind,” I offer.
I know what it’s like to love and have the Regime try and take it away from you. Then to force something on you that you don’t want. I know Owen is probably going to be pissed at me for doing this, but I can’t stop myself from offering him an escape and a way to get out of this marriage. To be free.
He nods. I don’t know how much I can trust him, but we’ll deal with that after. I grab his hand and start to pull him with me. People begin trickling into the room and taking their seats. I see the cameras on us, but God knows what they’re broadcasting.
“Minnie. I need you to come with me. We are about to start,” Ginger snips at me.
“I’d like a moment alone with Ryan before we walk down the aisle,” I tell her. She looks like she’s about to tell me no. “Please, just a moment,” I push.
“Fine,” she huffs.
I pull him off to the side and enter a small room that I’m guessing is used as a dressing room for events. I shut the door behind us, flipping the lock.
“Sparrow.” I turn at the sound of Owen’s deep growl.
“I had to take him,” I explain quickly.
I glance back at Ryan, who looks confused. Before he can get a word in, Owen punches him hard right in the face. Ryan falls, but another man catches him before he can hit the ground.
“Owen!” I snap.
“Fucker thought he was marrying you,” Owen grits out between his teeth as he shakes his hand out.
I roll my eyes. “No, he was trying to get out of the wedding and I panicked that he might mess our plans up, so…” I shrug.
The man with Owen takes a black canvas bag out of his back pocket and puts it over Ryan’s head.
Owen pulls me into his body. “You ready, princess?”
I smile up at him and nod before he takes my mouth in a deep kiss. I melt into him as one of his hands cups my belly protectively.
This is a way for us to be free so the Regime never comes looking for me. To them, I’ll be dead. I can live without fear of them hunting me down and looking for my child. I can spend my life on our side of the wall. Teaching my classes and giving medical care to those in need for free. I can be with the man I was born to be with. At his side. Him teaching me how to be a little harder while I teach him how to have a softer touch. Together we will lead. We will rip down these walls and everyone will know freedom.
The guy with Owen throws Ryan over his shoulder with a grunt. Owen takes my hand, linking his fingers with mine.
With his other hand I see the remote. I reach for it and he gives it to me easily. “Not until I tell you, sparrow.” I nod as we slide out the side door.
We move through the building and stay hidden as we make our way down into the basement. Once there, Owen slides open a hidden door. His eyes meet mine and then he nods. I lift the remote and nod back.
This is about more than faking my own death. It’s about showing Owen I accept some of the things he has to do as the leader of the Insurgence. That sometimes the only thing you can do to protect your people and the ones you love is violence. There is a time for peace and there will be that in the future, but right now, I cast my rage to the Elites.
I press the button, and instantly the building rocks. There’s a loud rumble above us, but the basement doesn’t take on any damage.
“I’m all yours,” I tell Owen, giving him the remote and then wrapping my arms around him.
“You were always mine,” he says, and kisses me.
Epilogue
Owen
Eight months later…
Minnie is moaning again. She’s horny as hell and I love being the reason she’s making those beautiful sounds. Her pregnant belly is so big she can’t see her toes while she’s standing up, but I’ve never seen a sexier woman in my life.
But right now, even though I’m eating her snatch like it’s the last supper, I can tell she’s distracted.
“What are you thinking about, my love?” I ask, kissing her pussy and licking my way around her clit.
