My brothers follow me towards the mansion. We walk along the outskirts of the property, hidden by the dark shadows of many trees. We’re careful to take Meg through a side entry.
It would do no good to have the party abruptly ended by this. If that happened, the gossip columns would go crazy, and we’d make Page Six for sure. I don’t need any word of this getting out.
As far as I’m concerned, Meg is my little secret, and I want to keep her that way. I want to keep her safely in the confines of my arms and of my house.
From this day forth, I’ll do everything I can to protect her and make sure this kind of situation never happens again.
She’s light as a feather in my arms. Her dress is tattered into a million pieces. There are bruises on her arms and back. Blood spills from superficial scratches.
I take her to my wing of the house, where we proceed to undress her and to look over her body for any other damage.
“I swear to God, if he hurt you, Meg, I’ll kill him. I swear he’ll be dead by morning.”
She lays her head against my chest and whispers, “He didn’t. You came in time.”
My brothers and I surround Meg and draw a warm bath for her. I lift her up and sink her body into the water, and she gratefully submits.
She looks up at us and says, “You guys, I…I have something to tell you.”
